[ThePsycoticboxman]

Notice how both the tin man and the scare crow don't get knocked out by the wiches spell. becuase the spell only works on living things. thats why only Dorthy, the lion and todo are the only ones who fall asleep. because there living organisims. it does not work on tin or straw.

[dougcapehart]

"Here, Dorothy, have some cocaine with your opium. I'll help you get to Emerald City"

"Why thank you, Glinda!"

[MaskedMan66]

@synoopy1 "You're," not "your"

[inem99]

[MaskedMan66]

@inem99 He was supposed to; he does it quite frequently in the film.

[inem99]

@MaskedMan66 I know but I think they're all so funny

[michelerelache]

[slantyrock]

The Film is about The Monetary system.

[MaskedMan66]

@TheTnwildflower43 Then you would have died.

[1131982vincent]

Drugs,Drugs every were omi.

[mrtfromtheateam]

the snow that they threw down on top of these people was 100% pure asbestos! some members of the cast actually died from inhaling that stuff and the producers ended up getting prosecuted for their neglegence!..........its true, look it up.

[guntzborg]

Favouritescene

[CoverThis21]

ToTo was high as FUCK!!

[wjcroft]

Notice how Toto is magically edited into the final march scene towards OZ. Dog teleportation! This song is titled "Optimistic Voices", article on Wikipedia.

[januaryjewel]

3:47 I love how they all look up when somone starts singing... and then just go along with it!!!

[Remyrocket88]

@januaryjewel yea i don't why but thats like my favorite part of the movie.... don't know why....

[shortgavin]

cocaine was legal back then you know. 

[beforeourveryeyes]

thank you

[ILuvLennyPearce]

I have a whole new perspective on the wicked witch after seeing the musical Wicked! now :)

[wlhardy]

Watching this movie in the 1960s (& on into the 70s) was a yearly event that the whole family lived for--especially the kids. We couldn't wait for this movie to come on TV. The Wicked Witch & those flying monkeys used to scare us to death. Even though we knew what would happen to the witch in the end, it didn't matter--we were still terrified. We looked foward to X-mas specials and the Wizard of Oz annually. It was so much fun anticipating your favorite TV "specials."

[BlakeC94]

who the fuck invented the wizard of oz. i mean you had to be some drugged up mofo to invent this shit

[01marky]

@BlakeC94 Probably, Heroin comes from poppies

[CRAPPYRAPPER12]

poppies!! its heroin!!

[thegeezerdan]

Good film.

[etrax2000]

There s a scene that was cut out where the witch says, call out call out, there's no one to hear you "

[ANTOINETTECOLAKOV]

..."unusual weather we're havin ain't it?" LMFAO!!! That part cracks me the f up!

[yellowdice92]

Lol I saw that scarecrow fall down

[MaskedMan66]

@yellowdice92 He falls down quite a lot throughout the film; comes of having no bones.

[sillybabybunnies]

unfortunately, while quite lovely, this scene had an inordinate effect upon my childhood...

for the bulk of my life I've been morbidly afraid of running through large fields of flowers.

I also tend to avoid oversized, winged monkeys

[Drewamania]

At 3:47, the scarecrow begins to dance before any music starts playing, then stops, looks around, and starts dancing again.

[MELISSA84008]

'Vigilant Citizen' has some great articles about hidden in plain sight 'messages' in movies and music vids...here's the link to his 'Wizard of Oz' article: vigilantcitizen(dot)com/movies­andtv/the-occult-roots-of-the-­wizard-of-oz/

[emeryerz]

I wonder if they saw Kurt cobain in the distance playing heart shaped box?

[jakelarge9091]

If I had a house right in the middle of the field I wouldn't leave for the rest of my life

[cplenopro455]

LOL the scarecrow runs in "slow motion"

[wiisalute]

did you know there was a song called tin man? by america

[etrax2000]

maggie was the only reason to watch this film

[MaskedMan66]

@etrax2000 Rubbish; there was also Judy, Frank, Ray, Jack, Bert, Billie, and all the rest.

[mikelgirly1]

The "Poppies" put them to sleep and the "Snow" woke them up. I didn't have a clue what it meant until I flew over the Rainbow and landed in rehab. It was then that I realized I wasn't in Kansas anymore and there really is no place like home...How incredibly real this scene is to me now.

[MELISSA84008]

@mikelgirly1 good catch!!.....alot of movies and music videos have hidden/subliminal messages in them which the majority of ppl are completely ignorant of...... 'Vigilant Citizen' has some great articles...here's the link to his 'Wizard of Oz' article: vigilantcitizen(dot)com/movies­andtv/the-occult-roots-of-the-­wizard-of-oz/

[SuperMicMuffin]

just punch her ,she will wake up.

[fittingly]

How the hell could anybody dislike this?

[PTL0]

This scene, ever since i was 5, has successfully made me tired every time i've watched it. it's freaky!

[Jawstaysun]

WE LOVE YOU JUDY!!!

[Jawstaysun]

'Sleep.  Now they'll sleep!' (LOL)

[iceblade05]

@Jawstaysun ITS A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT! xD



[strokkus]

Ah, When life was good. These days they bust a cap in your ass for looking at them wrong.

[cade11]

Pause and this at and play Janelle Monaes song mushroom & roses song

mute this at 30 sec

[CircleKguy]

did anyone else judy falling when they started dancing

[CircleKguy]

its film making like well never see again,,period,,

[lindalentz54]

people can analyze the scene until they are blue, I love it for the innocence of it, not the freaking drugs!!

[Lawlipop1211]

the poppies in the feild are opium poppies im doing reaserch on it X3 they look so pretty but are really dangerous

[clinteastwoodrocks]

@Lawlipop1211 and then the snow...heh heh... coke wakes them up...nice vid

[fvgdfbdokd]

@clinteastwoodrocks That. Or this movie was made before society became filled with drug addled low lifes. :)

[Lotusflowerism]

@fvgdfbdokd

opium dens were common in california long before this movie came out, lol

[ArtStone]

Back in the 1960s, I remember seeing a cartoon version of the movie on TV (pretty sure it was on WQED public TV)... for a kid, it made it clearer that the point was when Dorothy was captured, the lion got brave, the scarecrow thought up a plan, and the tin man cried, hence they always had what they wanted, but didn't realize it until their friend was in danger. To my young mind, that made it more obvious.

[JTeamjesters]

@ArtStone oh yah! I read about that version in a book. They utilized the things that they wanted desperately. They also crossed over a huge wall into some small town made up of china dolls and met all these flatheaded beasts on the mountains. There were sooo much going on in that book than just going to emerald city, probably 'cause after defeating the west wicked witch, they had to make another journey to the good witch of the south (only the north one helped dorothy in the beginning)

[TheNepenther]

@ArtStone Same here

[guntzborg]

@ArtStone er, i'm 19, been watching this movie since i was 11 and i didn't realize that until i read that comment..

[FinallyunderstandU]

Thank you, videomaker for this most memorable page out of time ~~~

[koolkid42136]

@maskedman66 i have not read the books but i've seen it at west end

[koolkid42136]

@maskedman66 no.

[MaskedMan66]

@koolkid42136 Read the Oz books. You'll see how wrong "Wicked" is.

[koolkid42136]

@broadwaybaby24k same i think wicked is truely wicked!

[MaskedMan66]

@koolkid42136 "Whack-ed," more like.

[texbear21]

snow didn't kill the poppies its coolness just awakened everyone and rusted tinman. They do appear to be opium poppies since the wicked witch called them "poison".

[dirtylogs]

Is this movie public domain yet or what?

[SnypeDRanged]

@dirtylogs Not as long as Ted Turner owns it.

[broadwaybaby24k]

@Maskedman66. I dont think wicked is rubbish! :(

[MaskedMan66]

@broadwaybaby24k In itself I gather it's enjoyable to those who like such things, but compared to the "real" Oz of L. Frank Baum-- the one that, unlike "Wicked," is suitable for the audience for which he created it, namely children-- it's bleak and uninteresting.

[MaskedMan66]

To all the (half) wits who think they're being clever by equating poppies with opium and the snow with cocaine, L. Frank Baum presented the poppies as a DANGER (and not an enchantment) and did not recommend going near them.

As for the snow, that's exclusive to the movie and represented death for the poppies. In the book, the Scarecrow and Nick got Dorothy and Toto out by themselves and then Nick built a wheeled platform by which thousands of field mice pulled the Lion to safety.

[nahumk222]

high on poppies lmfao damn stoners

[greeen8781]

;/



[dyllock105]

Dorothy: oohh poppys!!

Columbian drug lord: GET YOUR OWN

[grenzenlosefreiheit]

The witch still scares me to death. Fail.

[InvaderLix]

Lol @ the scarecrow falling all the time XD

[juju0smiley]

In our school play, I was a poppy XD

[cheezeburger100]

pleeeze dew anyone noe the name of the song playn when they've come from unda the spell 4rom the poppy field and running towards the emeral city i've been searchn for months and months for the name of this song with no luck...wld appreciate it if someone knew..thank you!!

[18sux29rox]

@cheezeburger100 Its called Optimistic Voices. i have the soundtrack for this movie. its great.

[cheezeburger100]

@18sux29rox Ooo thank you i appreciate it soe much..im happy!!

[jazzykid1]

Wait a second...why would poppies do that? It's the fragrance of lavender that is supposed to help people sleep...right?

[ChrissyMontagne]

And the Lion and Tin Man were gay...

[texbear21]

@ChrissyMontagne So? what does that have to do with anything?

[bookworm1138]

everytime i hear the Dio song "Don't Talk to Strangers", i think of this scene at the line

"don't smell the flowers, they're an evil drug to make you lose your mind"

\m/

[Smiles876]

watch 3:20 to 3:28 without watching .. rawr <3

[tayba120]

does smoking the mccormik brand poppy seeds make u hallucinate

[18sux29rox]

If you really think about this film, a lost girl, a scarecrow, a man of tin, and a lion running from a witch for ruby slippers in a magical land with munchkins.

What a mind Frank Baum.  - Zach Cantan JR.

[MaskedMan66]

@18sux29rox You didn't finish your thought.

And as Baum wrote the story, the shoes were silver, not ruby.

[18sux29rox]

@MaskedMan66 i know i was speaking of the mind of baum turning into a masterpeace film. with a few changes along the way. Its just terrible that he didnt live to see his vision come to life..........

[MaskedMan66]

@18sux29rox He didn't live to see this movie, but while he lived he saw "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" made into a Broadway sensation (which included more changes than MGM made) that ran for about nine years. He also saw the first movie version of "Wizard" in 1910, and made a bunch of his own silent movies set in Oz.

So he most certainly saw his vision come to life!

[18sux29rox]

@MaskedMan66 You got me there! You sure know alot about Mr. Baum! I just wished he saw the film that became by far the most famous and unforgetful, you cant say anything about that!

Great facts though.

[MaskedMan66]

@18sux29rox Well, thanks. I've read up on the man, and there is a movie (if you can find it) called "The Dreamer of Oz," starring John Ritter as Frank and Annette O'Toole as his wife Maud. It's mostly true, though it contains one or two apocryphal events.

Matter of fact, Maud got to see the MGM movie; she was one of the guests of honor at the premiere, along with Fred Stone, who had played the Scarecrow in the Broadway musical.

[18sux29rox]

@MaskedMan66 Thats cool! not many teenagers are into old music and old movies like Oz. Ive studied Margaret Hamilton and Judy Garland, about their life and how it was in the film. Everytime i watch it with my friends i tell them a weird fact about every scene. I know alot about it but not as much as you!

[MaskedMan66]

@18sux29rox Ah, then I bet you know the story of how Miss Hamilton left her nose on a streetcar!

Most teenagers I know are familiar with the movie, but almost nobody knows Baum wrote 13 more books about Oz. And I bet between you and me, we know most of what there is to know; besides, everything I know is from books and websites which anybody can read. :-)

[4freespeech]

People back in those days knew exactly what poppies & snow meant, because

Opium & Cocaine were available cheap at any corner drug store just a few years

earlier.

Anybody notice the individual at 0:05 is now Secretary of State?

[cronicd21]

someone make a dubstep version. POPPIES WUP WUP WUPPP

[ultimateinfinityX2]

that was stupid, the book is way better.

The good which just comes out of nowhere and sprinkle some white power, that a cop out.

[jamerikan5689]

@ultimateinfinityX2 you are a sad human if you dont like the movie. i like both the book and the film

[MaskedMan66]

@jamerikan5689 I love 'em both too, but in the book the gang don't need any magical help; they get out of the situation on their own and with the help of some field mice.

[jamerikan5689]

@MaskedMan66 but it works for the film. if field mice started coming out everywhere that would have cut away from the flow of the film. and not to mention it was 1939 so that wouldnt have been possible

[MaskedMan66]

@jamerikan5689 They didn't "start coming out of everywhere"; once he and the Scarecrow had carried Dorothy and Toto out of the field, Nick killed a wildcat that was about to eat the Queen of the Field Mice. In gratitude, she and her people helped to save the Lion.

But you're quite right as to the "real world" reason they couldn't do it for the movie.

In fact, the snowstorm was borrowed from the 1902 Broadway musical of "Wizard."

[MaskedMan66]

@ultimateinfinityX2 It's called snow.

[ariwcharles]

No wonder they all died early--fake snow made out of Asbestos.

[MaskedMan66]

@ariwcharles They didn't all die early; Judy garland was only 47 when she died, but her death was because of other problems.

As for the rest, Bert Lahr was 72 when he died, Jack Haley, Sr. was 80, and Ray Bolger was 83.

[ariwcharles]

@MaskedMan66 72 is kind of young these days...

[MaskedMan66]

@ariwcharles Bert Lahr died in the 60's, not "these days."

[YouCantBuyClass]

(Poppies) Heroin & (Snow) cocaine.

[MaskedMan66]

@YouCantBuyClass (Poppies) Poppies & (Snow) Dead Poppies

[1131982vincent]

The neverending story 1 and 2 or way better.

[curiosandrelics]

ya'll know that's 100% pure asbestos artificial snow...

[MDS13MDS]

Fuck wish i was there ida been harvesting

[imdead222]

so the opium poppys put them to sleep and the cocaine falling from the sky wakes em up

[0xXNirvanaXx0]

@imdead222 8 ball

[futuristfood]

@imdead222 yes.

[1337BleachFan]

@imdead222 Thanks for ruining my childhood.

[MaskedMan66]

@imdead222 It's called SNOW, and it killed the poppies, nullifying their effect.

Of course in the book, Dorothy, Toto and the Lion had to be removed from the field of flowers before they could wake up.

[m3m0ryburn3r]

kinda funny that those arent even poppies

[1488slav]

thank god i wasn't alive in those days

[vampmomtce]

For my schools version of the Wizard of Oz I spent a whole day sewing these and it STILL wasn't done but god POPPIES I hear that word and I'm like POPPIES NO

[papatia]

LOL. listen to it from 3:08 to 3:28 without watching the video... sexy

[MarieValentina]

@papatia hahahaha! :)

[laurah535]

@papatia I DONT GET IT :/



[raptor9191987]

@papatia LMFAO!!! Omg you're so right!

[MaskedMan66]

@papatia Pedo.

[sheemsheem]

welcome to aphganistan

[EventuallyWeMerge]

Oh my God......I watched The Matrix Revolutions yesterday, and just watched this scene right now........Emerald City = The Source / Zion....And this makes sense because The Matrix is green, and inside it is controlled by The Architect, who uses the witch (Merovingian) to control the dream world.....kinda creepy.....I am so stupid for never realizing the parallels between this. That is insane.

[JamWtree]

Wizzard of oz is just a massive trip, same as alice in wonderland...

[supercr1]

So they were DRUGGED? LOL 

[MaskedMan66]

@supercr1 No, it was an enchantment, at least in the movie. In the book, the poppies were nothing but a naturally occuring-- if hazardous-- phenomenon.

[salbird2006]

good night :)

[MhmToasty]

LMAO at the Tin Man crying bc he is worried XD
