The Wizard of Oz Lost Footage | Scribbles to Screen

It’s one movie that shouldn’t have been remade. There is no replacing the 1939 version

I was born in 1954. As early as I can remember, we were treated to "the Wizard of Oz" - once a year. It was a Global event! The Wicked Witch of the West scared the "Scheise" out of me!- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU ❤🎉🎉🎉

My mother went to see the Wizard of Oz when it was originally released. She said that when the movie went from black and white to colour as Dorothy opened the house door and sees Oz, the entire audience broke out in applause.

I'm almost 70 and I still get emotional watching it. My favorite movie.

This movie is a classic among classics. I remember seeing it again and again and again. Wonderful.

It's interesting to note that Judy Garlands stand-in, Caren Marsh Doll recently turned 103. She's one of the last surviving people associated with the movie.

As a child growing up in the 60s and 70s, The Wizard Of Oz appearing on TV each year was always a magical moment, marking the end of the dysfunctional part of the year and the beginning of the holiday season. The house was always full of extended family, aunts and uncles and cousins we only saw a couple of times a year at most and the telling of stories of when my parents were young. From the remaining Halloween candy to the Thanksgiving turkey, and the anticipation of Christmas just ahead, the entire world it seemed became bright, delicious, and Technicolor. There really was no place like home.

Remember way back when family used to get together every year on Thanksgiving day and sit together around the 19 inch ‘big screen’ television to watch the Wizard of OZ.

To most kids who grew up to The Wizard Of Oz this movie was magical. I grew up in a time when color television was just being introduced to the public and I remember a family in our neighborhood who was able to afford a color TV and they invited some of the kids in the neighborhood to come and watch this movie on a color TV and you could have heard a pin drop in that living room! None of us could take our eyes off of this movie. That's what I'll always remember about this movie when I was a kid!

It would’ve never been the same movie without “Over the Rainbow” thank goodness they left it in.

Our annual Wizard of Oz-athon took place in April, which was, for us, in tornado season. One year, at age 11, I was babysitting a family of five kids next door.. We cooked Jiffy Pop popcorn and made cherry Kool-Aid and sat down to watch the movie. Soon the sky grew dark and started swirling. We even saw greenage in the clouds, but never had to go to the basement. It was still frightening being responsible for five little friends!

Growing up in my life, the Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies in childhood.

Just the thought of so many classic films being destroyed irreparably by fire is one of the most heartbreaking things to happen.

My great grandma and grandfather passed but I always think of them, when I watch this movie. They were my most cherished people in my life, I’ll see y’all again

the greatest movie ever made, can never be remade, a true classic.

I'm 59 yrs old. This video proved I am not insane. I knew scenes were deleted from later TV showings though the years Thank you

Many years ago I was listening to a radio interview of, what at the time was, the last actor that was part of the wicked witch's castle guard. He remarked that many thought they were singing something that started as "oh wee oh..." he wanted to set the record straight by giving the actual words they were singing as "Oh we love, the o--ld one..." I pass this along in the hopes this rare piece of trivia lives on.

I'm 64 years old! One of the fondest memories I have was right before Thanksgiving every year the Wizard of Oz would be shown. I've grown up all these years with that being one of my most favorite movies. Actually my favorite movie even to this day. I remember when I was 45 years old my kids bought me a copy of it, so I could watch it whenever I wanted. One of the best gifts I ever got!!! I watch it 10-15 times a year now. It has been a part of my life all my life. I wish they still showed it like they used to. How times have changed! I have watched or read everything there is to know about that movie. But what I've been watching on here is some of the things I didn't even know, and a bunch of things that I already knew. I will continue to watch it Periodically till the end of my days.

In the 60s we had the first color TV on the block. Every kid on the block would be in our living room watching the Wizard of Oz. Mom would make carmel apples and popcorn balls for all of us. Those were such good times.

I was almost ten years old before I could not look away when the up close image of the wicked witch's face appears in the crystal ball. It can't be said enough how well Margaret Hamilton portrayed that role.
