    About this audiobook

    Judy Garland reprises her role as Dorothy as she and her dog, Toto, are caught up in a tornado in their hometown of Kansas. It takes them to a strange and beautiful land called Oz. Dorothy learns that the only way home is with the help of a wizard she will find if she follows the Yellow Brick Road. Along this journey, she meets some memorable friends and foes, including travel partners who also have reason to meet the wizard, namely the Lion, who is seeking courage; the Tin Man, who needs a heart; and the scarecrow, who is missing a brain. Their journey is an enthralling adventure with many magical moments in this charming story, originally written by L. Frank Baum.

    L. Frank Baum

    Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.

    • 5/5
      Acting: 4.5; Theme: 5.0; Content: 5.0; Language: 5.0; Overall: 5.0; Wonderful classic film presentation of L. Frank Baum's fictional classic; Dorothy (Judy Garland) experiences a dream where she is transported to a land with Munchkins, witches, and many other interesting characters (a scarecrow, a lion, and a tin man, who talk); she sets off on the yellow brick road where she meets her new friends who are also have needs of their own; highly recommend. ***July 16, 2018*** (Watched with Jonathan)

      Christmas is about God not the presents and the kids DUH?
    • 5/5
      I grew up watching this movie. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen or imagined. I waited for it to air once a year.
    • 5/5
      Like millions of others, I watched this every year growing up--and it was something I looked forward to for weeks. I've never read the Oz books--my daughter, who devours everything, wasn't impressed by them--but this film can stand alone as a singular magical moment. Actually, many magical moments, all of which are still magical 80 years later.
    • 5/5
      Classic movie musical fantasy adventure. One of the all-time great movies. Never tire of watching this movie.
    • 4/5
      A witch and a lost girl fight to the death over a sparkly pair of heels.Whenever I watch this, I try to imagine what it would be like to see it for the first time. I can never tell, but I do usually notice things that have previously been invisible-due-to-familiarity. One thing I managed to pull out of it this time around was just how good a song and performance "Over the Rainbow" is. I mean, yeah, I've always known it's great, but this time it struck me how much it probably would have floored me if I'd never heard it before.Concept: AStory: BCharacters: ADialog: BPacing: ACinematography: BSpecial effects/design: AActing: BMusic: AEnjoyment: AGPA: 3.6/4
