"There's no place like home"... In the opening film of our CINEMA OF COLORS series, Dorothy and her dog Toto are whisked away by a tornado into a vibrant, colorful world. On her quest to find the Wizard of Oz, she encounters a scarecrow without a brain, a tin man without a heart, and a cowardly lion, who all help her in her journey back home. Based on L. Frank Baum's book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," this fantastical musical was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song ("Over the Rainbow") and Best Original Score. The cult classic dazzles with its iconic use of color and groundbreaking special effects, continuing to influence pop culture, including musicals and animated films.
