This is something that is very important for me as a Wizard of Oz fan and a fan of the original Broadway show. It makes me sad that when I think that the only cinematic film for this show is the Diana Ross film, which is awful. I know that film is important to a lot of people in the black community, but for me, it really butchered the source material. If you love it, that's great but that doesn't exempt it from criticism. I was planning to do this video for a while since the last time I did it, my fan-casts have changed. My fiancée, @karleecraziness9216 (Who is half-black) actually suggested to me that I do this for Black History Month, so I figured it would be the perfect time to do it. Keep in mind this is my opinion and that I have the power to delete your comments. I hope you enjoy the video. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
