Emerald City Sequence


Am I the only one who LOVES this scene?

What's your favorite color?

reply

No you are certainly NOT the only one who loves it! I'm glad to meet another fan! 

I cannot imagine what this scene cost BACK THEN, never mind what the cost would be today!
The costumes, the sets, the paying of hundreds of extras...wow.

The tune that accompanies it is just brilliant!



I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

Oh, and for some reason, I love the gold the best!

Absolutely not!!! It's so decadent, funky, and fierce. I'm a "green" fan.

Helga, I'm not mad at you; I'm mad at the dirt.

I think it would be interesting if they had done a black light sequence (ultraviolet), but I enjoyed all the colors they showed, red green and gold. I'm like the Wiz, I can't make up my mind which one I like the best.

I love this number too. Green is my favorite.
