I just love this movie as it is just a feel good family movie. What makes it so original is the "fantasy vs. real life" with the like of using lions and scarecrows for characters instead of using real life characters in it. The only human actually playing a main part in the film is of course Dorothy, and i feel this makes her character stand out more as she is the only human and the other characters are just fantasy.
Also i feel it is really interesting in the fact that it goes from being in black and white to being in colour when she goes into in the land of Oz. This makes the whole idea of her going into this fantasy land much more magical with all the colours that are used. It also gives the impression of being old fashioned when she is in Kansas, as when she is in Oz it feels much more modernized with the bright colours.
The "Yellow Brick Road" is obviously a main part in the journey they take as they have to follow it to get to the Emerald City. I feel its almost a conflict in the film as they have to stick to that path even though they come across danger when taking it.
I feel this film is fun and exciting, even if it is cheesy, you can't admit it isn't a good film. The music in it is recognised everywhere, and you just can't help but sing a long. Musicals are one one of my favorite genre of films to watch, and this one is one of the best i have seen.
