Did you know?  

Released in August 1939, just days before World War II began, The Wizard of Oz brought colour — literally and emotionally — to a world on the brink of darkness. While not the first film in colour, its magical transition from sepia-toned Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz became a symbol of hope and escapism. Dorothy’s journey reminded viewers that even in troubled times, courage, heart, and a little bit of magic could lead you home. For many, Oz was more than a movie — it was comfort in a time of uncertainty.
