Paramount On Screen: The Wizard of Oz [PG]

Celebrate the 85th anniversary of this classic musical fantasy! Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, a young Kansas farm girl who dreams of a land “somewhere over the rainbow.” Dorothy’s dream comes true when she, her dog, Toto, and her family’s house are transported by a tornado to a bright and magical world unlike anything she has seen before. Unfortunately, she makes a mortal enemy of a wicked witch when the house falls on the hag’s sister. Now, befriended by a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man with no heart and a cowardly lion–and protected by a pair of enchanted ruby slippers–Dorothy sets off along a yellow brick road for the Emerald City to beseech the all-powerful Wizard of Oz for his help to return home. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Music, Song “Over The Rainbow” and for Best Music, Original Score. A special Oscar for “the best juvenile performer of the year” was awarded to Judy Garland. Based on the novel by L. Frank Baum.
