#TheWizardOfOz - Розваги
“Because if I wasn’t ugly, you wouldn’t have questioned whether I was a good witch or a bad witch” lolol I definitely didn’t catch Glinda’s shade as a kid
😂
GAVIN THIS SKIT OMG I’M DYING.
“The munchkins are very impressionable”
“BEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP”
LOLLOLLOOLL
Gavin doing Dorothy/Judy Garland Drag? Ok now we have reached the Top Tier of Performance Artistry. One of the all time talented and amazing gay icons.
We’re off to see the gavin, the wonderful Gavin of books
Is he...you know....A friend of Dorothy?
👀
😏☺️
That opening scene was Oscar worthy! Pure effing genius.
Fun and unnecessary fact lol, Im a distant relative of L Frank Baum. But if you go to his hometome Chitenango, NY they have Oz Stravaganza at the end of May and its a whole fair about the land of Oz and people dress up as the characters, theres writing contests, silent auctions, special guests connected to the books and movies, parades, etc etc. its really fun! I went every year as a kid. I also remember the Chitenango Library is themed with Wizard of Oz and it felt like I walked into oz when I was a kid.
Oh that's so awesome, thanks for sharing!
The opening credits if you wanna call it that was just...the best. Love it. ❤
Had to get that true Wizard of Oz feel
10:50 fun fact! The musical is based on the book Wicked by Gregory Maguire. There are four books in the series; Wicked, Son of a Witch, A Lion among Men, and Out of Oz. Maguire takes a lot of small details from the Oz books and weaves them into his series. Even the wicked witch of the west name, Elphaba, comes from the Oz author's initials L.F.B. Maguire also has a Cinderella retelling but from the POV of the stepsister.
I started the first book after having already heard the musical and it was not what I expected! I also didn't finish it because it was too depressing for my taste.
Love Gregory Maguire!
Gavin, I am SCREAMING at the “munchkins are impressionable” part!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀 this is amazing!!!
Gavin, you have outdone yourself this time! I'm crying from laughter. Also, Ash-Toto is Brilliant.
The Dorothy outfit, the commitment, the beauty of it all 👌❤Perfection
Oh wait sorry not Dorothy outfit, Dorothy herself!
It’s so frustrating for me that these books were so incredibly popular at one point in time, yet only a small handful of movies have been made from any books after the first one. There is SO much great material there! I’m a very visual learner, so I’m not above loving the movies equal to or more than the book, and it always adds to my enjoyment to actually be able to physically see the scene, characters, etc.
omg I spit out my drink when you asked glinda why she asked if you were a good witch or bad witch if bad witches are ugly. this is perfection! The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is always my first read of the year so I know I start with a five star.
There’s something so magical about hearing Dorothy curse 😂
Hahaha your accents and 'Oh..' is perfect. I love this movie too, glad to hear about the books!
Haha OH thank you 😂
@@GavinReadsItAll ☺️💚
I listen to audiobooks while I am sewing. The Oz Books are part of my rotation. Already listened to all 14 books 3 or 4 times. I liked the first book better than the movie.
The costumes, the acting, this was superb. Amazing production value, 10 out of 10.
One of my favorite parts about this video is the fact that you get to order Wizard of Oz costumes and write them off on your taxes.
OMG another Gavin series reading vlog!!!!! These are my favorite uploads!!!!👏💯❤️🙌💕
And the Oscar goes to…Gav & Tobu🤩
Your intro had me in tears laughing, and the thorough content is really quite impressive. I enjoy your channel so much ♥️.
2:17 AND THE OSCAR FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN SPECIAL EFFECTS GOES TO…
3:37 YASSSSSSSSSSSS THE COSTUME IS LOVELY ❤
Wicked the musical is actually based on a book series by Gregory McGuire. He has written several fairy tales/classic story retellings.
Your opening skit was magnificent. Bravo good sir!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
the “wtf was that?” at the beginning 😂
So, the movie was my favorite. I’m 60 now, and I never knew there were books outside of the 64 page book my mother would read me -
Fast forward to the age of 40? I believe, and my husband had gotten me the 50th Anniversary of the Wizard of Oz.
I was consuming every page and kept coming across a guy with the same last name as my grandpa, Raabe.
Please take this next part in - every year for 3 hours (with commercials) my family, including my mother and father would watch The Wizard of Oz. It was the only time my parents were together, and no one fought.
Back to age forty… My mother walks through my door and I say - Mom there is this guy in here who has the same last name as Grandpa. Meinhart Raabe… My mother nonchalantly says… Oh, that’s just your cousin Meinhart!!
My mouth fell open! I’m thinking this would have been a super cool thing to know growing up!
I called my aunt Jane who used to play on Meinhart’s farm in Juneo Wisconsin, and I found him in Florida, at Penny Farms, his wife had recently passed, and he was just the most delightful man.
When my grandfather, C.C. Raabe passed away, I knew I would never get a hand written letter from him ever again…
Fast forward to 2018, and I’m driving cross country and see the signs to the Wizard of Oz Museum. I tell the curator who I am and she takes me on a special tour and tells me delightful stories, when there in glass cases is Meinhart’s signature… my heart broke, because it was exactly like Grandpa’s.
Anyway, it’s a sweet story, and my children and grandchildren know - it’s a huge cool factor!
Have a blessed day!
The costume😱
Have you seen the Wiz? I love that version
Gavothy Gale teaching the munshkins crass language is what i subscribed for
Such a great video Gav!!! That intro is too iconic 😂😍👏
Such a fantastic intro, I am loving this vlog 💕👠✨
I love watching your videos! The skit at the beginning was SUPERB! I've always wanted to read this series and you're definitely making me want to add this series to my already long reading list:) Thanks for all that you do
I love that you read these!! I’m shocked you hadn’t read the entire series before with it being your fav movie. I read them all as a kid and LOVED THEM! The Patchwork Girl of Oz was always my fav. I’m writing this at the beginning of your video but can’t wait for your thoughts. Omg your cosplay. I’m dying 😂😂
I didn't even realise there were 14 books!!!
Omg I've been waiting for this!!! I love the wizard of oz series
This was such a throwback to my childhood! I read the series when I was younger and remember loving the world even when the characters were a bit questionable. You embodied Dorothy even better than she deserved…
I’ve read them all in junior high. Surprisingly pretty heavy sometimes. Loved it. A true fantasy. Love the takes on have. FUNNY.
I was waiting for this!
You MUST read the wicked series. The section with the tin man’s ax is seen in the first book when Elphaba visits Nessarose after many years of not seeing her! Similar to the musical in a way but features that call back to the original books.
The Dorothy/Glenda opening Gav! You're really out here killing it. I really enjoyed this deep dive into the Wizard of Oz. It was never a favorite of mine but it still makes me nostalgic for when I was young. I doooo love Wicked though.
If you haven't already, you should look into The Search for WondLa series by Tony DiTerlizzi. It's a mid-grade fantasy/Sci-fi where a young girl goes on a search for other humans, something she's only ever seen in a picture that she calls WandLa but it's actually the cover of the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It's got a lot of similar themes of discovering new worlds and wanting to find your home and I really loved it =)
There is a recent TV series that got cancelled but I really enjoyed it! It was called "Emerald City". It was a modern day version of The Wizard of Oz, but it has a lot of things in it that I now know are from the other books you've mentioned above. I didn't realise there were so many books, but things like the heads and the vegetable people etc makes so much more sense now :)
Lovely and entertaining video as always!
This is the best video yet! I love when you dress up and act ♥️♥️♥️
PLEASE do an episode on the Ruth Plumly Thompson Oz books. My partner got me an old copy of The Gnome King of Oz and I absolutely love it and I really want to know more about her other books but my ADHD makes reading quite difficult for me and I fear I’ll never read them on my own.
Wow, only ever heard of the Gregpry Maguire side series (would love to see a youtube video done on that series, hint, beg). Have to go look for this one too! This comment section always has the best info ☺️
This series is so nostalgic! Love the opening skit so much
i just googled L. Frank Baum and on the google search your video showed up.
That wind is so perfect in an OZ vlog
Loving your rebrand, Gavin! 😍
Gavin that skit was hilarious 😂 Oscar worth acting and production 💯💯💯 this might be more difficult to do but a manga skit for one of your feature length manga vids would be hilarious too! I think you’d kill it (but ofc only if you want to)
Gavins dedication is 👌
Would you consider doing a Cosmere reading vlog series? Since you have talked about getting more into adult fantasy I would love to see you explore the different series within the Cosmere and hopefully loving them!
Wizard of Oz is one of my favourite oldie films too. I read some of the books years ago, watching to find out which ones it was. Watching the bit about ozma of oz now, when you said you couldny remember the princesses name causr it was long one, my brain... princess consweila banana hammock. Cause obviously L. Frank Baum co-wrote the final friends series!
Hahaha the munchkin's being bleeped out for swearing lol shame on you Gavin, they are impressionable.
Girl, you ate this
I watch you all the time! How did I miss this 😂😂😂
In your opening credits you give a tribute to your pet they died in 2020 that must have been rough. To have them pass then the pandemic. My friend lost her dog around that time. He is indeed over the rainbow. Happy you are here making great videos
That intro was hilarious... I think I kinda prefer this version to the original :) Thanks again for another amazing video
Fun fact, there was a Russian version of the Wizard of Oz called the Wizard of the Emerald City. My mom loved those books. It's also a whole series, I think the other books are more original, but not sure.
I loved the intro with Ash and Tobu so much❤ and is it me or did you do something similair years ago with dear Oscar?
I started reading The first Wizard of Oz book and I really like it. I already adore the movie but I never read it before.
I read all of these too and then kept on going with the Ruth Plumly Thompson ones, but I've finally reached a point at which I can't track down the next ones :(
Omg the greenscreen in this is amazing!
omg i read these in early middle school (not all unfortunately) and our library had the best covers
As a Kansan (who does want to move), I have such a love/hate relationship with these books/movie. However, your acting? Iconic. Incredible. The best thing I have ever seen in my life. You make me actually love the movie.
Yesssss let's get this started as I enjoy my breakfast
I never knew there were this many.
Not counting movies I know the series best by its cartoon that covers about 3 or 4 seasons and goes to the desert and every which way on top of movie 1 events.
Now I see the cartoon could not cover everything despite its length as I thought it might have done before.
14 is quite a long series by my reconning.
The Wizard of Oz actually has a lot of political allusions. The Yellow brick road referred to the gold standard. The three (lion, Scarecrow, Tina Man) were all supposed to be certain politicians (can't remember who, though)
This is mostly stuff academics read into the book later. Baum himself wrote:
"Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder-tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
Having this thought in mind, the story of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' was written solely to pleasure children of today."
The only political allusion Baum seems to have intentionally put in the books were some female-empowerment themes due to his involvement in the suffrage movement.
the Muppets Wizard of Oz includes more scenes from the book
The green screen edits are ICONIC 🤩🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait for your speech at the Oscars next year!
If you want to see a fantastic adaption of book 2. I recommend 1981s "Marvelous Land Of Oz" Musical by the minneapolis childrens theater you can find it here on youtube free.
Yes! That one is really nicely done and very underrated!
Omg! I loved this’. ❤
I remember watching the movie by myself and I just loved it, being the gay child that I was (and am). They showed it in school and other people weren’t getting it. I was really sad for them.
I love this video idea
Thank you 🙏🏼
Now you got me wondering if Frank L Baum invented TikTok…
This was definitely one of your best performances, the swearing 😅
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
Was about to say this was the original isekai but obviously that's alice in wonderland
Lmfao I just died when you reinacted that wizard of oz scene xD
Oh you uploaded? Time to pour the wine and celebrate. 🎉 🍷
It would be so fun for you to tackle Gregory Maguire's Wicked series that the musical is based on!
Tin Man and General Grievous display striking parallels in their origins: Both were stripped of their natural selves by the influence of others, their body parts replaced with mechanical ones, transforming them into machines. While one seeks a heart, the other is driven by a thirst for revenge. 🤖
I have a Wizard of Oz Christmas tree. My family goes to the Oz festival in Ohio and we love it!!
The bleeping took me out! Your skits are unmatched.
I loved the first book as a kid and didn't know it was a series until a few years ago. After this review I do want to get to Ozma of Oz at least.
slayed the slayest slay
Only in the beginning, but that first part is soo good lol
🥲 Gavin is a treasure
NOT THE PIGTAILS
I read the wizard of oz series that part with Santa i thought i was reading it wrong
5 minutes in, this is Literally The Wizard of Oz ripped from the dvd
I demand a whole Oz movie by Gavin.
If you love the 1939 Wizard of Oz. You need to watch the animated series. It's more accurate with the books.
Gavin, you know the musical Wicked is based on a book right? 😂
The cats were stars in the vid haha how dare they be so mean to cats in the books 😻
someone get this man an oscar
Only watched 2 movies and 1st book during my primary school
You must be in Canada!!! 😆🍁
remember that Sci Fi show Tin Man with zooey deschanel
Your intro tho❤😂
HilARious! Loved it!
Did the editions you read include the original illustrations?
