The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 live action children's musical fantasy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the 1933 film was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is based on L. Frank Baum's turn-of-the-century children's story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which a resourceful American girl is snatched up by a Kansas tornado and deposited in a fantastic land of witches, talking scarecrows, tin mans, cowardly lions, and more. It stars Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton. It also featured a cast of little people in the roles of the munchkins including Christian C. Hall & Jerry Maren as the Lollipop Kids and Meinhardt Raabe as the Coroner. While not the first feature film produced in Technicolor (as commonly believed), it makes conspicuous use of the technique; its Kansas book end sequences are in sepia-toned black-and-white, while the Oz scenes are in full three-strip Technicolor.
