  • wrong version

  • that's a bird

  • You think the actors would have noticed?

  • One of the munchkins over heard that he/she was going to get fired because he/she couldn't play the part so he/she was so devastated and hung himself on set. Plus why would a stupid bird be flying out of now where, its a backdrop people, they are not in the actual woods

  • Its a bird.....Js:)

  • It only Swung once and didn't even Twirl?

  • WEL it look like a guy to me if u look really closely u can c some two legs swinging in the fuckin air People

  • most of the old vcr tapes are edited too theres a video of it on here where he shows it a couple times slowed down and zoomed in and its a bird in this video but not in the other where its very clear

  • watch the original movie, it is a bird no doubt about it. trust me i thought it was a hanging person too, its not. you can see it spread its wings and everything. its a bird

  • its a bird! use your brain to fiqure it out! is it a munchkin hanging himself swinging sideways or is it a bird spreading out its wings! thumbs up if you think its a bird and thumbs down if you think its a munchkin. Remember, use your brain before thinking about it if you think its a munchkin hanging himself.

  • How does someone hang themselves sideways?? This is obviously a bird but check out the unedited "original" footage on an old VCR tape. It looked like it had someone hanging from a tree.

  • Its a giant bird flapping its wings! Can't you see it?

  • They cropped the hanging body out and it's not a munchkin it's the wicked witch of the south.

  • but some really hung there self his name was tex and he hung him self from a light thing he built

  • this is a hoax DUHH!

  • IT IS A FREAKEN BIRD YOU CAN EVEN SEE ITS WINGS

  • this is soo the dvd

  • the only time a breeze was on set was when the technicolor lights were being cooled and the doors were opened so the "munckin" couldnt be "swaying in the wind"

  • It is NOT a hanging. It is a bird. The crew borrowed some birds from the Los Angeles zoo, and put them on the set.

  • NO IT IS A CRANE ..... THIS WASNT EVEN THE SEAN WHEN THE HANGING TOOK PLACE IT HAS BEEN DELETED THEY JUST COVER IT UP WITH THE CRANE IN THE BACKGROUND ..... IN ORDER TO SEE THE REAL HANGING MUNCHKIN U NEED THE ORIGINAL MOVIE TO SEE IT

  • This is the original, i got out my sister's copy of the vhs from the early 90s and thats whats there, a bird. People came in later and edited in the figure.

  • this is the edited version. before they made it a dvd and when it was on vhs it was an obvious figure hanging from the trees. they fixed it and made it look like a crane.

  • @mistermagicdinosaur it was the directors daughter she hung herself

  • @drahunter213 i have the vhs version

  • i saw it but it dont look like a person and the hanging munchkin is actuall AFTER the wich leaves. when she throws a fire ball @ scarecrow...as soon as the dust of smoke clears u can see it swinging rite where the wcich was

  • Skyblock adventure.

  • How could it be a suicide when everything was filmed inside and the sets were all painted on walls? It looks like its either swing from behind a tree or a bird. I say bird because its 1939 people! There arent going to be any trees!

  • @THEM2100 In the released clip it was edited as a bird, but in the real clip it was a suicide.

  • @THEM2100 they changed it to a bird, it actully was a munchkin.

  • EVERYBODY!! THIS IS THE DVD EDITION if any of you were smart you would hav looked for the VHS VERSION of this secne

  • its a cat bird re.... nevermind:(

  • NO MUNCHKIN hung himself. ITS A FAKE STORY. Surprised you are too stupid to do some research.

  • its a bird people

  • This is the remastered version EVERYONE type vhs version its a real hanging munchkin,BTW the vhs is not black and white

  • Just to clarify, during the making of The Wizards of Oz, they released several large species of birds to give the film a more "outdoors" feel. One of the birds, an emu actually, got caught in the rope, and that is what you see swinging

  • its just a freaking bird

  • Its a flamingo. Lmao. all you have to do is watch it in HD and its clear as day. But if you all want to believe its a hanging midget, please by all means :)

  • if yo guys look at it at the very beginning of them skipping down the road. it's moving... a dead guy does NOT move. it's a bird

  • @Sherry8694 Yes but ropes can swing.

  • The director of the movie is on record saying sht really went down i don't understand why the highest thumbed comment is sum clown pretending he knows what he's talking about

  • dude its a bird but you can think what you want to think. i challenge you to cite any source that verifies what you're claiming : ) good luck

  • its real i seen some documentary on it ,:)

  • i think someone just pooped.

  • i have heard it was a real midget that hung himself

  • some people forgot what a bird look like

  • @9000sw And you forgot what a munchkin hanging himself looked like.

  • @9000sw thats the new one dumbass that has a bird

  • @9000sw some people forget that the guy who worked the talking trees in that film used ropes to make the trees move and some people forget that guy actually died beacause he accidently hung him self R tard

  • @mambatony

    well i did not know that

  • @9000sw well now you do your not in r tard sorry that was kind of troll thing to say

  • @9000sw Dude, it's edited, some set guy accidentally got hanged, and due to low budget they couldn't film it again. They put a bird into it in the 90's for sale of the movie to VHS. If they didn't deny it, it would be like a snuff film, and could be illegal to sell or something. What are they supposed to say, "oh yeah, that guy accidentally got hanged, but you can hardly see him anyway".

  • @TheSgtDouglas Thats not true, no such death was ever reported to the lapd. I can prove that the video that does have a hanging figure is an edited hoax watch 'clear proof the hanging munchkin video is fake'

  • So the munchkin just swung once and that was it? If he really did hang himself, you would've seen more writhing and struggling. It appears that something flashes for a brief moment and you dont see anything after it.

  • I don't see it...

  • casmith is right who ever thinks its a munchkin is a fuckin idiot. Its a bird and anyway why would it be turned sideways.

  • umm i dont see nothing lol

  • This is crazy. And I think it''s really a munchkin. Not a bird. I watched this movie on my friends big screen TV and Its a munchkin.

  • @CraZwUn977 Don't you think that they would notice one of the crew members was missing even though none of the munchkinz were not in town because the scenes with the munchkinz comes much later in the movie

  • he hung him self during the filming but thay didnt have enough money in the budget to cut it and y would they film it out side ???

  • would u guys stop fighting u prolly dont know and u prolly wont ever know

  • for those of you who are obviously clueless about this: in the original version (VHS) of the wizard of oz, the munchkin hung himself. In the DVD and television version, they edit it out because it's noticeable. end of story.

  • @TheCriticMaker Umm, it doesn't? Look in one of the closer videos, it shows that the black part is the guy's hair. he hung himself outward, not like a regular noose, and his leg was on the tree when he died.

  • @TheCriticMaker If YOU noticed, it swung from side to side. If you know ANYTHING about suicide, when they kick the chair out, the dangle from side to side.

  • There were no munchkins on set for that scene. They hadn't even brought the actors in yet.

  • its a fucking bird

  • It was a munchkin that hung himself, you forget guys, this movie was made during the great depression.

  • @TemptationsClan2010 not everyone hanged themselves during the Depression. Especially people who, you know, ACTUALLY HAD JOBS.

  • @mzmadmike I didn't say everyone silly, but the munchkin that DID hang himself was because he was laid off from his job during the depression.

  • in the vhs its the munchkin but in the dvd they edited it into a bird

  • They show a closeup on faces of death ...it's real

  • @HackerGuitarist Of course, that show was beyond flaw. Oh, wait--it was a bunch of bullshit.

  • its a fucking bird!!! get over yourselves!!!

  • It's a big bird called a CRANE....omgee how dumb r people?

  • I want to PUNCH a munchkin! HARD.

  • I'm gonna straighten this out lol. On the ORIGIONAL version of "The Wizard of Oz" there WAS a man that accidentally hung himself but by the time they made more movies, they edited it. This video is a swan BUT they put that there so the man wouldn't show. It is a true story and it is on the original version of the movie but it's not on any new ones they made and it is not on this video. Soooo, there lol :)

  • anybody know the song in this vid?

  • I don't even know how this can be taken as someone hanging himself. This is clearly a bird just extending its wings. MGM rented the bird from a local zoo for the day to make the background more exciting.

  • not trying to spoil anything but the way the set is shaped there is no way the trees went that far back and really it looks like a shadow or something maybe something got in the way of the lighting

  • Ok, there has been some discussion about the whole thing. No one knows if its a bird or a munchkin. The cast has to keep going if it took alot of money to film each scene. But, it looked like something was on a string. Or, it could be a bird flapping. Lots of rage has been posted about this. If its a munchkin, R.I.P... If its a bird, Stupid Bird.

  • @GreekFood08 if it was a stupid, bird, it must be really stupid, flying through the woods like that!

  • poor guy, My mawmaw told me the whole story. The first hundread or so vhs had the hanging guy, but after they realized it they endited it out of the movie, leaveing to where only a select few has the evidence. I feel sorry for the poor guy.

  • Ok so i bought the 70th aniversary movie thats all revamped and everything and its a freakin bird. you can see it its like a black and white emu. so everyone just shut up about the whole ohhh its a dead munchkin no its really not sooo whatever!

  • @ILOVEJUSTINB97 or movie editing. what about the original?

  • everyone says its a munchkin, but if it really was, wouldn't it swing back? it doesn't appear to do that...

  • its a fuckin bird. fuck. i hate you all.

  • No, i was wathcing a documentary with the producers and he said it was an Emu because they were going to put it in Emerald City but it was a black color so since they had it why no use it?

  • naw its real! i had adults that were alive when the mvie came out tell us that they had couldnt watch the scene cause they told everyone it was some munchkin dead so they werent allowed to watch it! its really sad..

  • i dont see it where is it?

  • its an emu that extended its wing

  • To me it looks like someone stuck out their arm...

  • its a bird

  • All I see iz the dead munchkin

  • I watched it today and I was like "I saw the midget I saw the midget!" and then when I looked again it was the birds wing.. sorry guys no excitement =/

  • Watch the damn movie its a bird you idiots

  • @THEM2100 THANK YOU.... it's a friggin bird.... >_> you can see its WING....

  • Um look you idiot.. the scene was actully real, on VCR if you get the movie it still has the part in the scene where you can see the little munchkin hang himself. so get your facts straight before you say anything, and also on DVD, since it's real they got to edit the part out. but if you don't believe me, whatever, cause i aint here to fight.

  • @THEM2100 thats not nice to call us idiots.

  • @THEM2100 Your the fucking idiot. They remastered it and replaced it with a bird

  • @iAmHitt THONT CALL HIM AN IDIOT! it realy WAS a bird in the FIRST place! if you wache a close up in h.d you will see the head neck feet abd wing of a BIRD! sorry for bad spelling. oh and great vid!

  • @alteredstate190 Your a bigger idiot, watch the original verison not remastered

  • @alteredstate190

    honestly he rlly did hang himself n u can c it... all revision smarty pants

  • @THEM2100 they edited it over with a bird, you 'idiots'!

  • @THEM2100 No it's not you idiot.

  • @THEM2100 thats the new one dumbass that has a bird

  • @THEM2100 dvd was altered to a bird VHS has the real thing

  • @THEM2100 watch the original film its a man hanging and in 1939 they said he actually died from acidently being hung

  • Comment removed

  • awwww :(

  • This myth is the biggest fail of all time. I just watched this scene with my TIVO on a 44" HD TV. When Dorthy, scarecrow, and tin man just start to skip down the yellow brick road, in the back ground is a large bird with its wings spread. As they are about to exit the scene the bird closes its wings so it is aligned with a tree. At the very end of the scene the bird spreads its left wing again ="Hanging Munchkin". There you have it.

  • This is actually the wrong scene. However, in this scene that is actually the Wicked Witch walking by in the background. The Munchkin Suicide is in another scene.

  • blonddude 207  this is a fake there is no hanging here

  • are you guys BLIND?!?!?!?!!? look at the side of the bird. you can see a girl wearing white swinging on a rope!!!!!!!!! REAL!!!!!!!

  • GUYS, YOUR FALLING FOR IT!! BY THINKING IT'S A BIRD!!!! THAT'S WHAT THE EDITORS WANT YOU TO THINK!!! they edited it to make it look like a bird.

  • we watchind this movie in US today and we talked about this...the screen takes up the entire wall because its for a projector so we soomed in on it and it is in fact a bird...they thought that the scenery was to bland and boring so they randomly let exoctic animals roam around the set...its not a hanging munchkin...idk if in fact a munchkin did hang himself...but this is definately not a munckin but a large bird...

  • It looks like someone walked by at a bad time too me...not a munchkin hangin itself...

  • i dont think munchkins have wings

  • they put a peacock on set for decoration

  • its a emu from the LA zoo, its wing stretches out.

  • OMG!!!!!!! ITS A BIRD LOOK!!!!!!! in related videos for wizard of oz munchikin suicide debunked

  • IF SOMEBODY WERE TO ENHANCE IT MAYBE I COULD FIGURE OUT WTF IT IS!!!!!!!!

  • @Stevenfilizetti do it yourself then instead of postin asinine comments in full capitals

  • People are retarded. I can't believe there's a rumor that last this long.

  • maybe its a swing..? xD

  • Erm... bird... white on the wing with a black tip... obv.

    Love this film so much though!!! Such a feel good move, absolute classic.

  • how can you guys think it could be a bird or a hanging person?? both are totally different. there is a bird there but someone hung themselves near the bird. the body just comes out of nowhere. it's like the bird's wing is the BODY.

  • @blonddude207 You are a retard !!!! Its a birds wing !! are you blind !!!!!

  • @studd3737 you can see a girl wearing white swining dow. get the hell off of youtube you dumb shit.

  • If it was a Munchkin hanging himself, dont you think they would of noticed when the walked by? It's a little obvious.

  • @casmith1998 maybe people were dumber than they appeared back in the late 30s

  • @casmith1998 they didn't have time to notice. they were acting. they had to get through all of the movie quickly.

  • @casmith1998 not if they had to stay in charecter

  • @casmith1998 actually back then it would have cost to much to reshoot the sceene and yes they did notice but only after they filmed it with him in the backround

  • @casmith1998 thats what i thought!!! but then i saw suicidalmunchkins videos

  • Actually, the creaters of The Wizard of Oz had many large birds on the set, and it is actually a bird. Plus, this scene is before Munchkinland, so no Munchkins would be on the set.

  • @TheSlycoop01 no its not before munchkinland

    i think you should watch the movie again.

  • You must be pretty high to see a midget hanging itself in a scene where a bird is lifting it's wing.

  • its a bird that simply spreads his wing open and then closes it. its not a hanging midget

  • yeah i remember that, it was the bird X3 i watched it like 5 times and i was like where is he!? i just see a stupid bird!

  • It's just a big bird, believed to be an emu. They let birds roam around the set to give it a more outdoors realistic look.

  • watch it all it is a bird and its PREETYYYY obvious

  • pretty birdy :)

  • LISTEN EVERYONE! that was really a munchkin hanging herself! she was so depressed that she couldn't be dorothy! that was not a BIRD! On the DVD the edited it to make it look like a bird!! OKAY? CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!!

  • can you be sure that that's a person hanging themselves?

  • To all who say it is a bird,, the original was covered up with a bird-like shape. In the original, you can clearly see the shape of a person swinging from a rope

  • It is not a hanging. If it were, don't you think it would swing a bit more than it does? It comes in screen then is gone again. Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was younger, I always thought it was a flying monkey spying on them. Its not a munchkin hanging, use your heads.

  • its not a bird or munchkin it a woman who didnt get the part off dorthy she got so mad she got a rope climbed u the tree and jump.

  • "It wasn't a munchkin, it was a stagehand. If any of you have seen one of the originally released copies of The Wizard of Oz , you can plainly and clearly see the hanging person in the background. In the newer versions, the whole thing was altered so it wouldn't be so graphic. For those who still don't know where or when it is...When dorothy first meets the Tin Man, when they just begin to sing and go on their way...in the background is a man hanging himself" - insanity (eeggs.com)

  • kencenpn YOUR FULL OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!! THE PRODUCER DID NOT SAY THAT IT IS A FREAKIN BIRD WHAT MUNCHKIN HAS LONG ARMS AND FEATHRS AND A LONG NECK??!?!?!?! OH YEAH CUZ ITS A FREAKIN BIRD SO QUIT LIEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • I Dont get it... how is it a munchkin? ;S

  • The producers then self told us, about it and yes the guy did hang him self it was not a bird.so stop saying that ,

  • Anyone who thinks this is a munchkin is just plain stupid.

    It's a bird.

  • i think its pree obvious its a flamingo or something. but i don't really see how it's a hanging munchkin.

  • its legit. they werent getting paid alot of money and they werent getting much of anything and the guy who played a munchkin hung himself in one of the scenes and they didnt really notice

  • if noone notice, look on top of the bird, you see shaking and something falling down, looks like a person

  • this scene was changed...the new verson clearly shows a bird sticking its wing out the old version shows something different..not sure if it is a hanging or not but there is a difference, why would they change it if there isnt something to it?

  • @daniclark94 yeah im watching it right now and i saw a bird

  • I don't even see how you could confuse this with a hanging munchkin.

  • Its a huge bird stretching out its wings. Who the hell would mistake that for a hanging munchkin? >:o

  • its just a random bird not a munchkin

  • at 0:05 u can c the birds head clear as day. its a rumor!

  • EVERYONE!! I WATCHED THE MOVIE and it was a birds wing u cant see the birds head and body because it blends in with the trees! i sware its a bird!! watch the movie and in the scene you will see that there are big birds in the background!

  • No this is not real it was clearly a big ass bird

  • all i saw was a bird...>_> ppl are dumb

  • @Rebabe123 this was in a studio...estupid

  • @gow2101 BAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! obviously you are the E-stupid one

  • if its a bird y is there a rope?

  • @brettzel45 its the neck of the bird. it's an emu or something

  • @brettzel45 There's a rope because you're a dumbass.
