-My comments
I think this is shorter than novel. But I enjoy it. Oz people are very small. Their welcoming song is cute. On her way to Emerald City, Dorothy and her companies song a song. I love musical movie. And it is interesting that some actor of this movie have double role.
One of the lines of this movie, ”a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others” rang in my heart…
