I agree with the general consensus feeling a bit sorry for Auntie Em and Uncle Henry, having been so roughly uprooted and shoved into a vastly different life, especially at their age, has to be difficult and awkward and uncomfortable and Dorothy isn't really helping isn't she? Other thoughts: we will not discuss Billina's family, that way lies madness. I fondly remember the bit at the end with the Cowardly Lion, it's another of the bits burnt into my mind forever.
Em and Henry seem as out of place in Oz as the Beverly Hillbillies did in California....

I feel sorry for the Gales. As nice as palace life would be, I would have liked to bring a few treasured items from home.
