I like this film but as a young child I found the Witch of the West rather frightening. It may not be suitable for very small children, I think. Or maybe I was just too soft!
What's often startling about "The Wizard of Oz" is the change from black and white to colour and back again. At the time this version was made, black and white signified reality as used in documentaries and colour meant fantasy. This is how we know Oz isn't real but we wonder how Dorothy will get back.
As I said earlier, the story has been made lots of times but this is the one everyone remembers, not least because of Judy Garland's performance.

Wizard of Oz is based on the book of the same name written by L. Frank Baum and was judged the best family movie of all time. The film has been digitally remastered, ensuring clear viewing and stereo sound with added extras of how it was made!
Everyone knows the heroine of the story, Dorothy, played by the wonderful Judy Garland. Although Judy Garland was the not the first choice for Dorothy, Shirley Temple was not considered right for the part!
