Marina:
I love the Wizard of Oz.   I always saw it as about four friends - Dorothy is independent - she's going to find her way home, and if the others want to come along, fine, but she's still going.   I always loved the ruby slippers - the bobby sox and more grown up shoes are like she's on the cusp of her becoming an adult woman.   I always loved that the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and Dorothy are looking for the qualities they already possess.   I loved Wicked too.  :)

Many people don't realize the Judy Garland version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was actually the third filmed version, previous versions were made in 1910 and 1925:[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbbSTcjnfQ0[/youtube]
