Did you know: The Wizard of OZ

Just in case you haven’t watched the film here is a quick excerpt from teachwithmovies.org

The Wizard of Oz (1939) is a classic musical, beloved by children and their parents for generations. The film is perennially popular because it teaches several basic values and deals with many of the issues and fears that children ages 5 - 12 must confront as they mature: what happens if I can’t find my home, what happens if the adults who protect me are powerless against some outside force (Mrs. Gulch, the tornado), etc.

Now back to the question: Do you have any idea where does the name “OZ” comes from in the famous movie “The Wizard of OZ” ?

It’s writer “Frank Baum” named the magic world “OZ” after the alphabetical letters O - Z on the bottom drawer of his file cabinet.

So did you know that one ?
