Wizard of Oz movies and cartoons are an insult to the original book

[LoneSoul]

Who agrees?

[Chrissy]

Not me!

 

It's the nature of the beast really. Us book readers/lovers know that the film version / cartoon version of a book is never the same, and we all tend to watch and make mental note of what changes were made is the process. One has  to separate the book from the film to stay sane sometimes! Else us readers will end up pulling our hair out in despair as we see a beloved story torn to shreds before our eyes. 

 

The film makers had a job to do, and that was to bring to screen a story in a manner they felt would engage their target audience. They achieved that, with the film considered a classic. 

 

 

To quote (from the film) a wicked witch "Oh, what a world, what a world".
