The pink dress appearing white on camera was interesting. What I learned, only somewhat recently, was that after Dorothy's house lands in Oz, the “Dorothy” that opens the door to reveal Munchkinland was a photo double and not Judy Garland. This was done so that the photo double could open the door in the sepia tone dress, step aside off-camera, hand Toto over, and then Judy would walk through wearing the technicolor dress; thus doing it all in one take.
Bobby Kashay. Judy's double. She also fell into the pig pen.
@@kallen868 I didn't know Bobbie Koshay was also the pig sty double. Thanks for the info. I keep learning new things about this film all the time.
@@kallen868 Bobbie Koshay was Judy's stunt double, and was the one snatched up by the Winged Monkeys. She had another function, namely being Judy's physical trainer for the movie. She took Judy on hikes and swimming excursions, as well as playing tennis and badminton with her.
@@kallen868 ....and came.out clean haha watch again and see
My favorite UA-cam channel
When I was a child we always looked forward to seeing this movie once a year. Never missed it!!
Yes same here..in the 1970s it was on tv most years..loved it and never missed it..oddly I've never had it in dvd but I think I'm gonna do that now
Something so nostalgic about theatrical releases and television showings that we just don’t have anymore with on-demand viewing right…
It was always a family night, we all watched it, mom would make one of those jiffy pop popcorn tins on the stove, and I was allowed a coke in the bottle.
it always plays on thanksgiving!
@@JohnDonovanProductions I agree..same goes for music..when you had to search a record out and finally found it..then continually played it's a and b sides, you really got to appreciate it..kids dont do that anymore and consequently treat it as disposable
"Auntie Em! Auntie Em!"
As someone who lives in this town, it’s cool to see people actually showing interest in one of our attractions.
Also, “Wamego” is pronounced “Wa-me-go” not “Wa-mango”.
I was laughing too!! Salina gets mispronounced, not Wamego! 😂😂
😂😂 me too!
SAME! The way he said it made me chuckle. A lot of places and names are mis-prounounced around here! lol
Carpetbagger must have had some of that Mango-flavored iced tea from Quicktrip - just can't seem to get it off his mind.
I was hoping someone commented with the correct pronunciation. My grandfather was born there in 1901.
I love the Wizard of Oz. It's one of the greatest films ever made. Definitely the best pure fantasy ever put on film. I was five or six the first time I saw it and Margaret Hamilton scared me so bad I had to put on my Batman costume to keep watching.
😂👍🇬🇧
Nah. Willow is a way better fantasy film.
@@englishatheart You're entitled to your opinion. You're wrong, but entitled to you opinion.
Ha! That’s so cute! Everyone feels braver when they’re Batman, I guess.
@@mikehughes4969 Lol 😂
By far my Favorite movie of all time. I own all Wizard of Oz Barbie Dolls my grandma got me them when i was 11. I own every anniversary edition. This movie will always have my heart. The return to Oz was basically the horror version of The Orginal Wizard of Oz!! Lol. Thank you so much for visiting Musuem.
I get married in a few weeks and the wedding theme is Oz 😍 thank you so much for sharing!
Hope you had great day best wishes
Wizard of Oz, my favorite movie of all time.
The other major Wizard of Oz museum/attraction is in Liberal, KS!
Return to Oz was my favorite movie as a child! I was never scared of it and loved it because it was darker!
Some of my family live in Wamego. Thank you for doing the Wizard of Oz Museum justice and for showing off the Yellow Brick Road. Fun fact there are 15 totos you can find around town.
All time favorite movie.
Carpetbagger’s new party trick: His hat can stay on during 78 MPH winds.
It's all those pins they hold it down
Its not a hat
@@givemeham2301 Then what is it
@@polmccartknee3792 obviously it's a rat
@@amyconnelly7895 smart ass
Love the Wizard of Oz movie. Surprising that it still stands up. That is a very cool museum and enjoyed the yellow brick road. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Well since you can’t “like” a video more than once… I to have a soft spot for Return to Oz. Fun Fact: Jack Pumpkin head gave Tim Burton inspiration to create Jack Skellington The Pumpkin King.
I much prefer Return to Oz to the original.
@@GeorgiaGeorgette The original was made in 1910.
Do you mean the animated movie of the 70s starring Liza Minnelli? I agree that it is somewhat better than the original, but it is difficult to train the green elephants of Mombi.
Wamego looks like a nice town. You can't beat a wizard of oz themed Mexican restaurant.
The making of that movie was horrendous not just for JG, but also for many others involved. It's still one of my all time favorite classic films though.
It’s a classic and it’s odd most iconic things and people have a really horrible back story behind them
I've never heard anything about the problems during filming. What was so bad?
@@iusedtoliveinmymothergary9827 Judy garland was fed drugs so she can keep going nonstop and she was raped numerous times by cast mates
@@iusedtoliveinmymothergary9827 and the scarecrows makeup as toxic lions was extremely hot and tin mans was extremely heavy
@@jerrygordon29 Well that's disgustingly messed up. That's been happening in Hollywood since the begining we have learned.
Fun Fact: A couple doors down from the OZ Museum is the Columbian Theater and Museum. The story is that in the 1890s, a wealthy resident of Wamego, KS took a trip to Chicago to see the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. He was so blown away by all the stuff that he saw that he decided to buy a lot of stuff from the fair and bring it back with him. He built a theater using some of the white marble from the fair and he housed the rest of the artifacts in it.
Today you can actually go in and still see his collection.
In the up stairs of the building, inside the room with the actual stage, there are several hand painted wall tapestries that align both sides of the room. They are massive and they are original pieces of work from the actual fair itself. Rumer is that because of the shady things that happened during the 1893 World's fair (Like all the kidnappings, H. H. Holmes, and his famous murder castle), the tapestries are said to be haunted.
Ooooh!
Thankyou
Thank you so much for this!!! I'm a fan of the Wizard of oz from Switzerland and I don't think I would have ever made it to Kansas to see that Museum. GREAT WORK❤️🙏❤️👍
I hope carpetbagger can do Disney land in France
My number 1 favorite movie. They found the dress that Judy wore.
Towns providing unpainted “ icons” and letting artists paint them is a very popular tourism tactic. Many towns have horse, cows, it’s, sheep, etc statues scattered around town
Yep. We have horses in Lexington KY
The Winkies are chanting "Oh, we love the old one."
I love how this town has embraced The Wizard of Oz. The museum is fantastic. Never had seen a Wizard of Oz museum before. We had the whole series of the Wizard books growing up. Don’t know what happened to them. Thank you for sharing the museum and parts of the town with us.
So glad you made it to what I call my happy place. Hope you saw all the hidden items
I've always loved The Wizard of Oz, that museum is amazing!
I love the troll version of the Wizard of Oz. I told your girlfriend on her channel, that I love troll dolls. They were very popular in the very early 1960's. I wanted one so badly back then. My late mother told me if she had known that I wanted one that badly, she'd have gotten me one. I'm now 69 years old.
We visited this last Sunday because I saw you make this video. I waited to watch it until after we visited it. It was really cool
Saying I LOVE the Wizard of Oz is an understatement, I never tire of this movie, it will never seem dated and will be loved for centuries….it’s so much more than a movie. Love this museum as well very unique 🌈
I watch it when I'm feeling blue and it perks me right up.
The whole movie is shot incredibly beautifully. Is it weird I think some of the sepia scenes are the most beautiful?
All though the movie is quite cursed, and Judy garland, and buddy ebsen were treated absolutely terrible, it has always been my favorite film.
every year on thanksgiving the wizard of oz is played on cable TV. it’s a family tradition to watch it with my dad
Oh wow. Awesome tour. Love this movie. My favorite character is Miss Gulch/wicked witch of the west.
Debbie Reanolds had a pair of real ruby slippers. Oz was the one movie I watched each year near Christmas when I lived in KS.
Beautiful artwork on the yellow brick road trail
Hahahahahaha omg the look on Jacob's face, while in the tornado simulator!😂🤣 Great video, Bagger!
This place is pretty cool. I have a TON of wizard of Oz memorable and a prop piece
Will always love the wizard of OZ
Return to Oz was ahead of it time. One of my favorite movies
RtO was a product of its time, namely the great Fantasy Film Renaissance of the 1980's.
looks like a great little museum. most folk probably already know, but this and 'gone with the wind' were released in 1939 -- both directed by victor fleming!
& George Cukor also worked on both films as well.
@@juliusmaloney yeah, he was replaced as director on GWTW. he didn't shoot any scenes for WoO, but was a 'creative advisor,' so i'm not sure how much input he had in that capacity. still, he certainly can be linked to it and i'm sure film historians can point to his influence.
Oz the great and powerful is so underrated
If it werent for the carpetbagger would see none of these places, thank you soooo much carpetbagger
I actually have a Wicked Witch of the West doll. I got it when I was younger and I still have it to this day.
my ex has a set of old madam alexander dolls, in the box and all that. too bad they're not worth anything, lol.
@@manlymcstud8588 look on ebay and see what they are going for? Even old 1950s Lunch box is pricey! A Beverly Hillbillies lunch box is going for more then $1,000 check out ebay!🌈... Lol 😂
@@bettyschneider5268 i did look on ebay before posting my comment, they're just not going for that much. sure, lunch boxes are expensive depending on desirability, condition, and how complete it is. just these older mme alexander dolls just aren't going for that much. i could get more for a vintage 'star wars' action figure gun by itself.
@@manlymcstud8588 Oh sorry! 😔 Well good luck on whatever you do! 💒⛪⛪⛪🌈
@@bettyschneider5268 thanks, you, too. :)
some collectibles have been able to make a small comeback in recent years, but after the bottom fell out things like precious moments it never gained back what it once was.
We were there not to long ago!!! Such a neat little town! ❤️
Thanks as someone who lives in this town it’s pretty cool
Miss Gulch
A K.A: the original Karen
I believe Miss Gooch is from Auntie Mame
@@cindyvargas9277 The character of Miss Gulch is from The Wizard of Oz. There is a Miss Gooch in Auntie Mame though.
Absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you for taking me to places ill never see! Appreciate all you do!!!
I loved the Museum when we went last year. I must have stood in front of the "Return to Oz" display for like 10 mins. Favorite Movie of all time!
this is on my bucket list, saw visits from my friend MisheaLea who lives in Kansas, and Brian SomeplaceorAnother, and AdamthWoo
"... I'm not gonna get jump-scared in the Oz Museum, am I?" Haha! I was wondering that, myself!
I had the fortunate experience to meet Margaret Hamilton at Marco Beach Resort in Florida back in 1973 at the pool there. I was going on 7 and my mom introduced me to her. Great video Jacob. 👍🙂
I live in Queens, NY. Sometime in the 1980's, I was walking through Penn Station. I noticed someone using a pay phone. The women using the pay phone, was Margaret Hamilton! During her career, besides playing the Wicked Witch, she also appeared on Maxwell House commercials as Cora. When, I met her at Penn station, I got her autograph!
I Love Your Channel! This was a Great tour! That pink show boat was one of my Favorite toys! My uncle brought it home for me when I was around 7, he worked at a Goodwill Store.
Keep up the Great Content! So many cool things out there!
Great video . I love the Wizard of Oz thanks Jacob.
thanks 4 the tour.
I love that you went here!! One of my most favorite movies!!!
Thank you so much for making this video I really enjoyed it I am a true big fan of The Wizard of Oz I enjoyed it very much thank you
That museum is crazy
I am 30 years old and those flying monkeys and the witch melting still scare the shit out of me every time I watch it. Not to the mention the fact of the witch riding the bicycle scene..... I love the movie but those parts gave me nightmares for the longest time as a kid. I also remember my cousin gave me one of her snowglobes from her collection when I was 5 that was a unicorn with a rainbow and it played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow whenever you turned it upside down. Heck I even dressed up as Dorothy for Halloween when I was 12.
Drove from CA to PA when we moved to the East Coast, stopped in Kansas and went to this museum. Kansas was one of my favorite states on the drive, it really surprised me. Lots of awesome and well maintained museums, and the most courteous drivers of all my travels!
I love the quilt amazing job by the maker 😘🌺
I just randomly came across this video. Coincidentally I live in Wamego! Looks like you had a good time and its always nice to see people taking interest in our little town. Safe travels!
This was so awesome 😊 thank you ☺️
Try to go to Lucas Kansas. It's in western Kansas. It's got a really cool place called the Garden of Eden which is a large collection of statues an old civil war vet built around his house. It's really cool and has odd history. Lucas also has the Grassroots Art Center which also has interesting stuff.
He posted a video about The Garden of Eden, haven't watched it yet! It uploaded Monday 7/26 😊
The Wizard of Oz is still my favorite movie.... I love the books and the other adaptations / interpretations of Frank L. Baum's creation.
Thank you for the smiles, Carpetbagger.... 💖
“Except for what they did to Judy Garland behind the scenes”
Me: “🗣 HELL YEA!! “
They did my girl so wrong 😢
Every single actor was treated terribly during the Wizard of Oz production not just Judy. The actress who played the wicked witch developed alzhiemer's due to the toxic green cooper paint used on her body, she also was severally burned on set due to a pyrotechnics error. EmpLemon on youtube made a really informative video on this topic.
@@HulksterHogan that sucks. But however off set, the actress of the wicked witch was really nice to judy and other members
@@HulksterHogan Exactly! And the munchkins were treated worst of all
Judy seemed so kind and almost innocent. She was just sent to the wolves by everyone who should have been protecting her. Bless her, I hope she is at total peace, wherever she may be.
No, they didn't. There are so many exaggerations and outright lies that I sometimes feel ill.
Was there at the Museum in Sept 2021. Very nice.
I really enjoy coming home from work, getting food and putting on your videos. Great stuff!
Wizard of oz my all time favourite movies ever if I ever get to go to America that OZ museum is on my list of places to go
I have been to this museum. Loved it!!
Wow. this place is AMAZING😍😍🎇
I love seeing Wizard of Oz as a kid. When I was 12, on my first year of 7th grade in Allison Academy, I was Dorothy Gale for Halloween.
Great Show!
What a wonderful museum! This is the first movie I remember watching on TV as a little kid and I remember hiding under the afghan because the wicked witch terrified me. I still love it. I agree, the special effects were so good, the tornado is amazing. The colors are gorgeous. I still remember the special show Angela Lansbury did once about the making of the movie that aired before the movie. It was very good.
Wonderful tour. Thanks. Peace
Bless your heart ! 🤍 I enjoyed the video so much!
Thank you for mentioning Judy's suffering as not many people remember how badly she was treated
That's because she wasn't, not by anyone involved in the making of "Wizard."
Gasp! I wanna go here and im so happy to see return to oz there. It’s my favorite movie
Hi Jacob, awesome video, awesome museum, always love the movie and the books, thanks for sharing, love you
"and your little dog, too!" On every corner in town, with a diff't paint-job. Right on.
Great episode 👏
This was wonderful!Great tour! Thank you!
I'm curious. Did any of the Totos you came across bless the rains down in Africa?
This comment is extremely underrated
😂😂😂😂😂
😅😍😅
You magnificent bastard, I wish I thought of that.
That songs changes my mood more than the movie lol
My favorite movie of all time!
I loved the Wizard of Oz as a kid. I watched the video so much, I broke the tape! And, I would so wear the ruby slippers 🥰
Brilliant vlog, my favourite movie, thank you for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏
Good thing there's no compressed air in the movie.
I used to live in Kansas and we went to this museum all the time growing up. I’m glad to see it’s still around :]
There's a tiny oz museum in Chittenango, NY where the author was born and raised
Met Margaret Hamilton in NY, heard her laugh in the ladies room, what a treat🥰
Loved that last Toto.
Thanks Jacob 👍🇬🇧
Used to go here a lot as a kid! Kansas born and raised I’m glad you got to go check this out!
Very cool place! Never knew about it. Nice tour. So many things Oz related!
I remember watching Oz the great and powerful at a drive in movie, unfortunately, that was the only time I had ever seen it.
Hey I enjoyed this video I love watching the wizard of oz
anytime it’s on tv thanks for sharing. 😃
My mom is a huge fan of this and she has a dvd collection in a collectors book type. When you open it it plays music. Great vid my man! 😎👍

Thanks you sharing with Jacob I enjoyed the tour very colourful Toto's
Loved this tour, such an iconic movie! 🌈
Thanks for your video. Greeting from the Netherlands, love your videos.
Now I don’t know if I’ve watched it, but The Wiz with Michael Jackson is also my favorite different version of The Wizard of Oz!
