The greatest movie ever made in HISTORY

Still have my VHS copy...was 10, and my grandfather (God rest his soul) drove me to Sam Goody at the local mall to pick it up the day it was released in August 1989!

The 50th Anniversary Edition VHS was the version I watched of The Wizard of Oz as a kid. This brings back so many memories!

Oh man the nostalgia just hit watching this again

I remember back in elementary school, we had a school play of the Wizard of Oz and I played the Wizard himself. It was a cardboard cutout of the Wizard's head and I was behind the cutout head doing the Wizard's voice.

I would love to see all of Buddy Ebson’s Oz footage. I’ve heard so many times that if he had not gotten sick from the makeup, he would have been pure magic on the screen.

10:48 The guy who is basically behind the tree is like I don't care if I'm on camera

I used to love watching all of these extras after the movie on VHS. As a child, this was my gateway into understanding how movies are really made. It was so interesting to see all of the alternate footage and deleted scenes that weren't in the movie, learning the different names and appearances of the actors who played the characters, and it started my deep interest in finding out what went on behind the scenes of my other favorite movies. The Wizard of Oz truly has one of the most complex and fascinating histories behind the making of any film.

I remember this. I still have a 50th anniversary tape.

I remember this! In fact, we use to have the 50th Anniversary video.

well, John Leader was paid to be in special features on this VHS tape before he went on to do voice-over for various Universal trailers and promos!

My favorite copy of wizard of Oz, it’s the one I grew up watching with my grandma!

I was 3 years old when this edition came out.

I remember this. Still have the tape, my dad bought it for us when I was 7.

Yay! Finally, someone uploaded the bonus footage! I used to have this VHS, but me being the idiot that I was, gave the tape away when I upgraded to a DVD copy.

I grew up with this release of Wizard of Oz. I've seen this so much that the times I've seen this outside of this tape, I instinctively expect the Downy commercial, the 1955 trailer and all the other stuff beforehand and it feels wrong. lol

Thank you so much for this! I remember getting this Christmas 1989. I was 2 weeks shy of being 8. The memories of this tape. It Sadly broke. Probably bc I watched it so much.

I forgot about the Downy commercial until now

I wish I still had my vhs copy of this.

I never saw the ending of this except maybe once or twice because the scene where the wizard flies off leaving Dorothy behind upset me as a young kid lol. Thanks for uploading this.

I remember having this vhs and watching it so many times as a kid

1:43 In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, MGM/UA Home Video proudly presents a special collector's supplement to the classic motion picture. This unique compilation includes rare footage specially presented for your enjoyment. Here is the original Wizard of Oz Coming Attractions trailer produced by MGM for its 1955 theatrical reissue. 4:39 At the prestigious 1939 Oscar Ceremonies, Mickey Rooney presented Judy Garland with a very special Academy Award for her role as Dorothy. 5:41 Texas contest winners were greeted on the MGM Lot by Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger, and the original Tin Man: Buddy Ebsen in this promotional trailer produced prior to the film's release. 6:56 Buddy Ebsen was originally cast to play the Tin Man, but unfortunately became ill from the silver makeup he wore. His recording of If I Only Had a Heart still remains and is presented here with rare photos in the Tin Man costume. 8:28 The Jitterbug was an elaborate dance sequence deleted from the final cut of The Wizard of Oz. The actual motion picture footage no longer exists, but thanks to these photographs and home movies, MGM/UA reconstructs this musical number with its original soundtrack. 12:03 A longer version of the Scarecrow's song If I Only Had a Brain was discovered in the MGM Vaults in 1973. This footage features a unique Ray Bolger dance number choreographed by Busby Berkeley.

Even though Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs first released on VHS in 1994, I believe if it was part of the Classics collection in 1987 in honor of the 50th Anniversary, I'd do a similar supplement like this after the ending title card with RKO Radio Pictures, but with still images and texts like the laserdisc of the Work in Progress cut of Beauty and the Beast with the voice of Mark Elliott narrating the intros. Here's how they'd go in this order (you will note that some of the wording, I got from this closing but with different sayings to differ from this video where they actually came from)... [Special Collector's Supplement/1967 Promotional Trailer (background: Dwarfs on tree trunk during Heigh-Ho)] In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt Disney Home Video proudly presents a special collector's supplement to the classic motion picture. This unique collection includes rare footage specially displayed for your viewing pleasure. Here is the original Snow White coming attractions trailer, produced by Disney for its 1967 re-release. [Academy Awards Excerpt: Shirley Temple and Walt Disney (background: Snow White saying goodbye to Grumpy before leaving with the prince)] At the glamorous 1938 Oscar ceremony, Shirley Temple presented Walt Disney with a very special Academy Award for creating the very first animated movie. [Tricks of Our Trade: Billy House Dancing Footage (background: Snow White's dance in The Silly Song)] Billy House served as live-action reference for realistic dancing for Happy in The Silly Song. This scene from Tricks of Our Trade shows how the animators studied his motions before they drew it on paper. [Bonus Song: Music in Your Soup (background: Snow White testing the soup from the cauldron)] Music in Your Soup was intended to follow The Washing Song as a way to show how the Dwarfs got the soap out of Dopey, but unfortunately, was cut because of storytelling reasons. The complete voices, music, and sound effects still remain, and are presented here with cleaned-up pencil animation by Ward Kimball. [Pencil Reconstruction: Bedroom Fight (background: Dwarfs' noses poking over the bed frame)] Originally, Grumpy still wanted Snow White gone from the cottage, which led to a big fight in this longer sequence deleted from the final cut of Snow White. The actual color footage and soundtrack no longer exist, but thanks to these pencil drawings and newly-recorded voices, Disney reconstructs this argument with the original musical underscore. [Additional Sequence: Evil Queen at the Cauldron (background: Evil Queen holding the goblet as the thunderbolt mixes the potion)] An additional moment of the Evil Queen preparing the Poisoned Apple was carefully preserved in the Disney Vaults in a fully-completed form. This footage showcases a brief verse by Lucille LaVerne that plays while the Queen mixes the cauldron before she dips the apple into the brew. [Copyright Screen] (C) 1987 The Walt Disney Company All Rights Reserved Well? Do these sound like good intros for those Snow White bonuses?

Procter & Gamble (the makers of Downy) sponsored the annual CBS telecasts of "The Wizard of Oz" in the 1960's.

The scariest moments of my childhood were the jitterbug scene from this.

I bought the VHS back in 2013 during Spring break

My childhood!

0:43 2:21 3:09 3:19 3:51 6:57 8:29 12:04 12:17 13:08 15:04

Great stuff there of a classic

I remember this movie and I've read the book.

1939-2024 Happy 85th anniversary!

I wish they kept the Jitter Bug scene!

I have the 60th anniversary vhs . I remember when my bought it home me and my sis dad watched it and my moms still terrified of the flying monkeys .

Favorite movie

This is my favorite movie.

1:15 IM LAUGHING SO HARD

10:48 that guy is like "hey hey what's happening?!"

The Wizard of oz yes I remember all of that right after the movie was over but I didn't stop it but it was cool watching all of that went I had on VHS

I'm actually kind of glad they took away the jitterbug scene it would have taken away the creepiness of the scene

I commend those who catch all the inside jokes in the Downy commercial

The Buddy Ebsen tin man was upsetting to me as a child.

it would have been awesome if mgm had made musical adaptations of children's stories in the 80s such as noddy, thomas the tank engine, frosty the snownan, the grinch, paddington, a wizard of oz sequel, the little engine that could, the cat in the hat, peanuts and popeye even.

Did you by any chance see the movie "Tom & Jerry and The Wizard of Oz"? It's kind of a retelling of the original classic movie told through Tom & Jerry's perspective.

oz is a real place!

9:37 BAMF OW MY F@$&IN EYE!!!!

8:35 I wonder why they deleted certain motion pictures of the jitterbug
