C'était sympathique mais le découpage narratif m'a paru étrange, je ne pensais pas qu'il restait encore autant de péripéties après le retour dans la Cité d'Émeraude.

Et bon, j'ai le goût d'écouter le film maintenant 🌈

Que de souvenirs ! 🌪️

Enfant, j’étais accro à ce classique que je connaissais surtout grâce aux comédies musicales, mais j’avais jamais eu l’occasion de le lire. Cette réédition du Magicien d’Oz tombait à pic, alors je me suis replongé dans cet univers enchanteur. Je constate que j’en garde le même émerveillement qu’autrefois ! Cette histoire véhicule de beaux messages qui m’avaient déjà parlé enfant et qui résonnent toujours autant aujourd’hui.
