Dorothy only puts on the shoes for practicality, not because the witch tells her to. And I had no idea the gingham dress was not only in the book, but kinda plot relevant.
Dorothy locking the house up before leaving XD
WAIT THE NAME BOQ WAS ACTUALLY PULLED FROM THE ORIGINAL BOOK? I’d totally forgotten that!
So canonically the Scarecrow is short like the Munchkins, because they made him. Never thought of that.

Soooo we’re just not going to talk about why the Witch of the North’s hat turned into a slate with a prophetic message? No explanation needed for that?
The way the witch SHAKES THE ASHES OUT OF THE SHOES and gives them to Dorothy like “here’s your murder trophy, dear!”
Also interesting how Dorothy just puts the shoes on a table inside instead of wearing them. And we don’t know why they’re special.

Interesting. I never realized that the book actually describes everything in Kansas as gray. The movie was very clever for being so literal.
I need Aunt Em’s backstory now. How did she end up here? What about Uncle Henry? Were they ever really in love?
What happened to Dorothy’s parents! More backstory I want to know about! How did they die?
Not Dorothy just falling asleep inside a cyclone. Honestly mood.
