Young Dorothy finds herself in a magical world where she makes friends with a lion, a scarecrow and a tin man as they make their way along the yellow brick road to talk with the Wizard and ask for the things they miss most in their lives.

Memorable quotes from The Wizard of Oz

"Someplace where there isn't any trouble... [tossing a piece of her cruller to Toto] ...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or train. It's far, far away... behind the moon... beyond the rain.[singing] Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow!"
"Well, I... I think that it... that it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em... and it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."
"There's no place like home; there's no place like home; there's no place like home..."
"Why, if I had a brain I could...[singing] I could while away the hours,Conferrin' with the flowers,Consultin' with the rain.And my head I'd be scratchin'While my thoughts were busy hatchin'If I only had a brain."
"Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of ya first?"
"I’ll fight you both together if you want! I’ll fight you with one paw tied behind my back! I’ll fight you standin’ on one foot! I’ll fight you wit’ my eyes closed!"
"Courage! What makes the King out of the slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? (Others: Courage!) You can say it again!"
