The Looney Wizard of OZ (1987)

The Looney Wizard of Oz is a 1957 musical fantasy film produced by Warner Bros. It is based on L. Frank Baum's turn-of-the-century children's story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which a resourceful American girl is snatched up by a Kansas tornado and deposited in a fantastic land of witches, talking rabbits, screwy ducks, cowardly hunters, and more. It stars Gloria Wood, Frank Morgan, Mel Blanc, Paul Julian, Arthur Q. Bryan, Jodi Benson and June Foray. It also featured a cast of little people in the roles of the munchkins including Chris Finch as the Lollipop Kid and Mayia Norton as the Munchkin Coroner. While not the first feature film produced in Technicolor (as commonly believed), The Looney Wizard of Oz makes conspicuous use of the technique; its Kansas bookend sequences are in grayscaled black-and-white, while the Oz scenes are in full three-strip Technicolor.
