The Wizard of Oz on the Big Screen

     The latest film to be featured in the Revival Series was the Wizard of Oz.  We made a field trip out of it filling up ten seats in total.  I know we have all seen this movie a zillion times but you really can't compare it to seeing it on the big screen.  There are a ton of tiny never before seen details to absorb.  The color is magnificent and the sound and songs are richer.    It is also very different to see these movies as an adult.  Themes pop out at you that might have previously been missed.  Plus, there is something to be said about seeing it in a crowd.  Heads were bobbing and mouths were singing along as the beloved songs played...and we didn't even have to go somewhere over the rainbow to watch!
