This video is to celebrate the birthday of her Royal Highness Princess Ozma, Queen and Rightful Ruler of Oz!
Now of course I don't know how old Ozma actually is. She first appeared in "Marvelous Land of Oz" in 1904, but her name became the title of a/her book "Ozma of Oz:" in 1907 and her birthday was recalled to be August 21st in "the Road to Oz", 2009. But we do know that, side from being just a bit older than Dorothy, she is over 100 years old . . . and still damn good looking for her age!
In this Celebrating Video, I have put David Shire's "Return to Oz Ragtime march" to several pictures I photocopied and the coloured in from "Road to" and "Magic of", both Oz books of which include ozma's Birthday.
I had meant to finish this the other night and upload it this morning, but I didn't start it early enough.
Still, better a bit late than never.
But I will say (happily) that this is my first video of adding MOTION to Still Images, so although still far from perfect it is a great job for a first time.
Happy Birthday Ozma!!
It always cheers my heart to find other people who know there is SO much more to Oz than a musical film made in 1939. Ozma's name used to be a household word; now people will ask you, "Who?" She is without a doubt my favorite Oz character.

So glad I could make you happy with this! I prefer Oz that's not MGM either.

Glad you all like it!
I just wish I had done the opening (half-minute plus) better, as I just changed it a little while ago to make myself really happy about it.
Nonetheless, it is Still Good!
Thank you
