The Wizard of Oz 1939 70th Anniversary Unoffical Site

Come join Dorothy down the yellow brick road and right into the land of Oz in a brand new and original audio drama, by the VideosForFamily.com web site. This is for the 16th episode of the Ozcast series. The final episode of the year of 2009.

We have started a 5 part mini series, Judy Garland: Her Life & Legacy.
I am hosting the series with Oz historian John Fricke as our guest. You can listen to the first part of the show by going to http://www.thewizardofozfilm.com/judygarlandseries.htm

Welcome to the new wizardofozfilm.com web site! This newly designed web site was formerly thewizardofozonline.net. This freshly developed concept is our contribution to the 70th Anniversary of the 1939 Wizard of Oz film as made famous by the beloved Judy Garland. Not only will you observe a new format but you will also notice a few new additional pages as well. We have decidedly added a fun and games section as well as informational pages on the many Oz costumes, props, and replicas that are around today. Finally, we have opened up an Oz merchandising store online. Here you will find, Oz products pertaining to the 70th Anniversary, Oz Collectibles & Memorabilia both old and new products alike. We hope that you will find this site a great resource on not only the 1939 film but also on many other aspects of Oz as well including Disney's Return to Oz, and Wicked the Musical.

Over the past 5 years (since 2005) Aaron Pacentine has been involved in the Oz Community. Aaron has had a lot of great experiences with many people with his fantastic recordings he's been able to have posted on his site, not to mention the Oz online talks shows, he has produced since 2006. Two of these recordings, was an interview with Kurt Raymond in December of 2005. He has taken time to be interviewed for our web site extensively, also providing portions his voice talents as the Wicked Witch as well as The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion. It's always a pleasure with Kurt. Plus an Oz panel, that was produced to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the well known and one of the most longest running Oz web site on the Internet today, BeyondTheRainbow2Oz.com. Aaron is pleased to be officially associated Elaine's with Beyond The Rainbow Web Site/Company.

The panel featured Elaine Willingham who is the founder and proprietor of Beyond The Rainbow, Kurt Raymond, Oz impressionist/Wicked Witch impersonator, and last but not least, Stephen Sisters who is an Oz collector and talented Oz replica/model creator.

Most notably is the interview with Kurt Raymond (from 2005) and the newer panel (from 2008) are believed by us to be two really fun and exciting recordings that we have here in our collection of interviews and recordings. You will hear these wonderful people talk about these events and other memories they have had working together and putting on the events that remain so close to their heart today....many years later!

    Now, in this digital age of entertainment there is always something new and exciting to look forward to, and as far as the Wizard of Oz is concerned there never really is enough to go around these days. We strive to always focus on the 1939 film.  We want to put forward there will always be new and exciting things on the web site to look forward to pertaining to the entire Oz Community and the fans.
