Teenager Dorothy Gale lives on a Kansas farm owned by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em, who are assisted by three farm hands: Zeke, Hunk and Hickory. When Dorothy's dog Toto bites the wealthy Almira Gulch, Miss Gulch obtains a sheriff's order authorizing her to seize the dog to be euthanized. Toto escapes and returns to Dorothy, who runs away to protect her dog.

Great movie. I think my favorite song from it is "If I Only Had a Brain/Heart/Nerve".
I'd like to think I'd be one of the Lollipop Guild, because those guys have their lives figured out, but really I'm probably more like Professor Marvel.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Seen it a bunch as a kid. I only remember the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I'd probably be the lion.

Excellent movie. I consider myself greatly privileged to have seen it on the big screen more than once (when I was a kid, they'd put on matinee showings of old movies at the Times on sundays-------------it's how I got to see 'It's a Wonderful Life', 'Casablanca', 'North By Northwest', 'Court Jester' and 'Singing in the Rain' writ large).

Judy Garland's take on 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' is so beautiful I can't believe it.
