I first saw The Wizard of Oz on television when I was six years old and fell in love with it and have loved it ever since.

The ending is in black and white after Dorothy completes her journey in Oz and is back home again in Kansas. I found this truly enchanting and it also added to the film’s magic. The quotes are so memorable such as “There's no place like home.”, “I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!”, “Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas
