This special aired on September 11th 1957.
Walt Disney had always wanted to make a film based on the Oz stories. In 1954, when the movie rights to various Oz books became available, Walt purchased them. Soon, scripts were written for a movie in "Widescreen, color, the works.." But for some reason it was never made. Pretty incredible how much they hyped it.
Let's one wondering why they never got around to making it.

Why do all the comments say things like "FUCK OFF AND DIE IN AN INSANE ASYLUM!" I thought this was just an innocent little short about The Wizard of Oz?

It's just as well this was never made. It never would have had the longevity of MGM's The Wizard of Oz, and not just because that's such a classic, but because this is trite, trendy, and very forgetable. Now 50 years later, it would only be remembered by fans of the Mouseketeers in it, if even by them.

For the people who are lame enough to argue back & forth over youtube, your pathetic! Enjoy the video. who cares if you disagree with someones opinions. There will be many Oz adaptions in the future that Disney will be involved with one way or another.
