It's funny watching back all the movies you used to watch over and over as a kid.
The other night me and the boys sat down to watch The Wizard of Oz for the first time. It was very similar to their first time watching Star Wars where they were constantly asking questions for the first 15 mins. And let's face it, there is some pretty funky stuff in this movie. "Dad, why is Monkey Blue? "Dad, why is the Monkey Flying? "Dad, why is that lady with the big black hat green?" "Dad, why does the Tin Man sound like he lives in Newtown?" |
You also pick up all the stuff they put in for adults, which kids would not even know, is there. For example, when they reach the Emerald City and the Door Guard greets them, it is actually the Wizard in disguise. And when they get in the Cab lead by the "Horse of a different colour", it is being driven by the Wizard in another disguise and lastly, the guard to the Wizard's room is also the Wizard in disguise.
This was pretty similar to when we watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory recently. Gene WIlder is actually pretty good in the role but you never notice stuff like that when you are 8.
