I suddenly have a fierce desire to make a stop motion film of this chapter (please keep in mind I do not make films)

This chapter is wild, I love it!! Dorothy "you're so beautiful I could love you dearly, can I take you home with me?" Gale is taking a detour along the rainbow brick road.

I wonder if budget concerns meant a crazy scene like this wasn’t even a possibility where the movie was concerned. I feel a lot of the journey that was taken where they met the most interesting people and cultures along the way was sadly left out.

It’s scenes/chapters like this that prove positive why reading a book over watching the movie is so important.

Some day, somebody's going to make another attempt at a big-budget live-action adaptation of this novel. Whoever it is, I dare them to include this chapter -- and to do the dainty china people in stop-motion, not in CGI.

This chapter is really messed up, innit? Also, it holds prominence in the Bimetalism Theory.
