Upon its release in 1939, The Wizard of Oz became an instant classic and fueled the imagination of anyone who watched. Based on the novels written by L. Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz tells the story of Dorothy, a young farm girl from Kansas, who gets swept away from her family’s farm by a tornado and ends up in the mysterious Land of Oz. There, she meets strange new friends who accompany her on a mission to find the Wizard, who is her only hope at getting back home (Wizard). The Wizard of Oz has had a major impact on, not only my life, but the lives of anyone who watches it. Critics like Roger Ebert and many others have shared their love for this classic over past 70 years.
