The Wizard of Oz saga of Dorothy's ruby red slippers
1939 was a very good year It all began with the 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". In the book, Dorothy's shoes were silver, but in the movie, the color was changed to red. This was done in order to take advantage of Technicolor which at that time was pretty new. The opening and the ending of the film were in sepia tones which is why it appeared as a brown tint rather than black and white.

Witch Hazel is absent from Space Jam A New Legacy
SPACE JAM A NEW LEGACY opened in theaters on Thursday, July 15. The combination of live-action and animation made the 1997 film an instant hit. There will be one cartoon character who will not be returning for the sequel and that is Witch Hazel. When most people hear the name Witch Hazel they probably think about the plant based astringent that is used as a topical medicinal product. When Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies cartoons are mentioned it is Bugs Bunny, Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and the Tazmanian Devil who most often come to mind.
