On the other hand, we've got a few scenes here that the movie didn't have. I guess it preferred to get rid of them and replace them with musical numbers. That's fine: when you can do sound, you might as well have music too.
Apart from the Tin Man's backstory, none of them have been that interesting anyway.

It's nice to see the Tin Man and the Lion be actually useful. In the movie, the former mostly just kept crying and the latter was genuinely cowardly, and the Scarecrow carried the whole party. Far more equal here.

Saw the movie quite recently - better late than never - and thought I should obviously pick up the book as well.
Getting right into the business much faster. Not much developing of Kansas, and absolutely no farmhands or wandering charlatans or wicked old dog-hating women. I guess this means it's not going to be all just a dream like the movie was (by executive mandate, I hear). That'd be good at least.
