I loved the film because it was a musical and I liked signing along to the songs. I liked that it represented black people. My favourite character was Dorothy because she was shy and she built her confidence up on her adventure, in trying to find the wizard so she could get home. I also liked the other characters like the Lion who was played by Micheal Jackson the scarecrow and the tin man who were Dorothy's friends and helped her find the wizard. Her friends also wanted to find things. The scarecrow wants to find a brain, the tin man wants to have a heart and the lion wants courage. There are flying monkeys and singing crows which will make you laugh. this film is fun, mysterious,exciting and will make you feel happy.
