@@dtb5350 To this day JC is the only humanoid movie monster I think about sometimes. Demonic and alien enough despite appearing human... perhaps as ancient as time but still got consciously updated with humanity each feeding time (the fashion sense!). That said his design is cool af imo. And so does this AI version of Tin Man.
Normally the description of "tin" really meant tin-plated. Like cans were tin-plated but we still call them "tins." Ditto for a "tin" roof. But also, plating was done because tin doesn't rust, only iron (underneath) rusts.
One slight correction. The Tin woodman is NOT nickel plated during the events of the Wizard of Oz. That happened later during the sequel, The Marvelous Land of Oz, AFTER he becomes Emperor of the Winkies.
@@Darth_Chicken I suppose that depends on just how much of him was plated. The Woodman's main point of concern with regards to rust is his joints. On one hand, that would make his joints the key part to plate (not all that hard, since he can be disassembled and re-assembled with no pain.) On the other hand, to work correctly his joints have to fit together perfectly, and plating could alter the fit by changing the thickness. It'd be doable, but it might require someone with a lot of skill (maybe Nick asked Klu-Klip to leave Munchkinland and visit him on a short vacation to do the job.) It sort of similar to what happened to Captain Fyter in my stuff. When he had himself plated, to stop looking identical to Nick (actually since Nick was already nickel plated and shiny, he was becoming known as his "dull" cousin!) He had his BODY done in brass (since he's an officer) but the joints are gold plated, so they won't corrode (as he was/is on active duty, he realized there would be more situations where he could be caught in rain without someone to oil him, so he wanted to make sure his joints would NEVER rust up again).
The Patchwork Girl of Oz was one of the best books in the series. It is rather amusing that as the series progressed, more and more characters ended up living in the Emerald City so sometimes when the characters need to go somewhere , a whole gaggle of 20 plus characters would end up going like a class field trip.
But wrong. Baum describes him as "a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose."
Yeah, but the idea was to see how an AI generator would render the descriptions. Plus, Denslow’s illustrations weren’t always the defect-o depictions of the characters, considering all the other artists and illustrators who took on the task after him.
@@milascave2 In irony the term most use of being at the top of their ivory tower comes from this tome lol but yeah, they still do not know the hidden meanings of this text.
That makes sense. Back in the 1980's when Ai was still in development, they fed it the Phrase "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" and had it translate. It came back with "Blind Maniac." So yeah, one floating eye.
Correct! Fred Stone, the first actor who ever played the Scarecrow, did his own make-up, and made sure that of the circles he put around his eyes, one of them was always bigger than the other.
Well, the Cowardly Lion IS a real lion in the books, he was never anthropomorphized. He can talk, but so can ALL animals in Oz (yes, that does include Toto). Ditto the Scarecrow, he IS a scarecrow, just one who can walk, talk and so on (we don't find out why until book 15 in The Royal Book of Oz.)
Oh yeah, Dorothy later have to confront Toto why he didn’t say anything when they first visited Oz. Frank Baum did retconned Oz in the later books like how nobody dies in Oz and how all animals can speak.
@PungiFungi Interestingly, Toto doesn't speak much AFTER that conversation in The Road To Oz either. You'd think that once he realized he could, it'd be a useful thing for conveying information. Instead of barking and the old Lassie style, "What is it, boy?", he could just TELL them what he wanted to say.
@@Sojoboscribe It never came to that. Once the cat (so to speak) was out of the bag, Toto never made it a secret; indeed, in one of the books, he had to talk because he'd somehow lost his growl.
The Wizard is literally just William Burroughs, which feels about right. Return to Oz drew directly from John R. Neill’s illustrations for the sequel books, so most characters are much closer to their descriptions in the books. The Scarecrow and TickTock match Neill’s design exactly, and yes the scarecrow is creepy looking with a painted-on face that doesn’t move.
I like the munchkins...waiting patiently for the next LOTR movie.The Tin Man could have his own horror movie franchise.All in all,I don't think '36 would have been ready for this.Great work.
@@BobCrabtree-ev4rz 1939, correct. But this AI really didn't get anyone right except for Dorothy and Glinda; the Lion doesn't really count, because a lion's a lion. 🙂 And they left out the Good Witch of the North.
Judy Garland was only 16 when she played that part. Margaret Hamilton was 37. Ray Bolger was 35. Jack Haley was 43. Bert Lahr was 44. Frank Morgan was 49. And though it may surprise you the oldest was Billie Burke, who played Glinda, at the age of 54.
I've been told that the books are more scary and a bit twisted. I've never read them, but I do know most story books from back when were usually dark and twisted.
All the original books are in the public domain so you can read them, or even a few snatches of them without any problem on Google. The books were more scary - for instance, the witch sends a flock of crows to peck out their eyes, and the scarecrow grabs each in turn and twists its neck to kill it. But Baum, the author, was besieged with letters from children who loved them. You can also type in the name of the character with "of Oz" into Wikipedia to see the original illustrations.
The second book onward, yes. They really put a lot of effort into that movie, and there were so many characters from many of the books who appeared in the Emerald City Restoration scene. 🙂 Just a handful were the Patchwork Girl, Polychrome, Tommy Kwikstep, the Frogman, Notta Bit More, Cap'n Bill, and the Guardian of the Gates.
@@MaskedMan66 Love that movie. Literally the first book I ever read was Ozma of Oz with the original illustrations. I saw the re-release of the MGM movie in '55 and only started seeing again a few years later when CBS started broadcasting it once a year, but I went on to read a whole lot of the other sequels.
@@johnnehrich9601 I'm MaskedMan66 on my other account. The movie first aired on T.V. in 1954, hosted by Bert Lahr and a little girl named Liza. 🙂 I grew up in the 70's and 80's, and never missed it when it was on. RtO really gets a bad deal from people who only know the MGM movie.
@@peterheimsoth159 Interesting about when it was first on tv. I love Baum's crazy imagination. Whereas Lewis Carroll has talking animals and flowers, and cards and chess pieces, Baum had inanimate objects sort of come to life, all the while realizing they weren't really alive. Like Tik-tok who "does everything but live." A flying couch is brilliant. And while people ordinarily change their clothes, one character instead changes her head.
@@johnnehrich9601 Cards and chess pieces are also inanimate objects. ;-) Tik-Tok was the only character who wasn't "alive," even though he was a very lively fellow. 🙂
As for the Wicked Witch of the West in the book having one eye, I'm not sure of whether she was one-eyed in the pirate style (i.e., her empty eye socket being covered by an eyepatch) or if she had a cyclopean eye (i.e., a single large eye in the center of her forehead).
I was going to say the same thing but then I realized the rest of the video was worth it so I didn't. Instead I went down to Edgar's and bought a frozen pizza, Tombstone pizza, pepperoni and a liter of unsweetened iced tea and had some breakfast.
The tin man isn't supposed to have any meat on his bones. He had a series of wood chopping accidents that left his entire body replaced with tin, and he later runs into his flesh body pieced together by magic
Got to love the standard AI slop - Dorothy's cold, dead eyes. The cowardly lion being a literal lion. The tin man's axes bending like it's made from rubber. AI art truly is art.
Your Tin Woodman is completely off - looks like a bad cyborg. The Wicked Witch of the West in the book is said to be very old, that all her blood had dried up years ago, and she kept herself alive using her magic. So her appearance should probably be more like a mummy, with grayish skin.
@@MaskedMan66 If all the blood was drained from your body do you really think cussedness - or to put it more simply - being annoying and nasty would allow you to continue to be alive? If that were the case there would be a lot of corpse walking our streets today. However, if you were a witch - with an extensive knowledge of magic you would probably use that to ensue your continued existence. Oh, and if you mean cussed as a curse that kept her from death - that would still be magic.
@@donaldabbott8663 Dude, we're talking about a *fantasy tale* set in a land where a man can get chopped up and continue to live as a tin shell. Magic didn't keep Nick Chopper alive, so there's no reason to think it kept the Wicked Witches alive.
@@MaskedMan66 That's where you are wrong. In the book "The Tin Woodman of Oz" Baum wrote that the Land of Oz had once been an ordinary land cut off from the rest of the world by a deadly desert. But the Fairy Queen Lurline enchanted the Land of Oz making it a magic-land. A place where magic can allow for a living scarecrow and a living man made out of tin. It was the Fairy Queen's enchantment that created the magic that bring them to life or allows them to live even after loosing all their blood. A witch would know how to use this magic even better then ordinary inhabitants of Oz. As an author and illustrator of six Oz books, one Oz graphic novel, and an online Oz cartoon I usually know what I'm talking about.
AI's version of the Yellow Brick Road was literally the exact opposite of "very wide". I've experimented with using AI to create images, and sometimes it just completely ignores certain prompts or doesn't seem to understand them no matter how much tweaking you try to do.
The scarecrow in the thumbnail is a lot scarier than the one in the video 😂 The scary Tinman made me laugh out loud! So after all these years it finally hits me that Dorothy's last name is Gale! Fitting, being as how gale-like winds picked up her family's house and deposited it on top of the Wicked Witch of the East in Munchkin Land!
Baum gave her the surname Gale as a deliberate pun, although it wasn't in the first book. He came up with it when he was co-creating the first stage version of "Wizard" in 1902.
One rare occurrence of the movie designs being impossible to improve upon, regardless of the source material. Both the movie as well as return to Oz are 10/10, especially when taken together as two extremes on an aesthetic spectrum.
The MGM _Wizard_ took its cues from W.W. Denslow's character designs in the first book, and RtO took inspiration from John R. Neill's work in the succeeding books.
Of as many books as possible... or as a streaming series. Most people only know of the original book, but only remember the movie. Don't get me wrong, I liked some of the changes - ruby slippers, witch with green skin, only coming into contact with Glinda - the Good Witch of the South rather than also meeting the Witch of of the North., the Emerald City actually being emeralds. But I must say, I really do prefer the Wicked Years quadrilogy. It's just too bad the two films are going to based on Broadway musical, which highly deviates from a mature fantasy to family-friendly nonsense.
I love the Munchkins so much! Dorothy looked perfect. most of them were fine except the Tin Woodman. No idea what to say about those liberties. If you put a long beard on their Henry he'd look pretty close to the book. Don't know why it was missing the beard. I feel like they dressed the wizard wrong, and that long face wasn't something you usually saw with his peppy personality.
Is there an equivalent to letting AI actually read the whole book instead of just descriptions since (i'd hope) it would pick up more contextual information that way.
This is a great example why AI will never replace us. It is our flawed (tortured) human nature that our art is born from. Just as Jesus' profound suffering leads to the ultimate beauty of Salvation for those who choose to accept him as their Lord and Saviour. Also, the classic 'Wizard of OZ' (1939) is still very cool. Plus, I also love 'Return to OZ'!!! (1985) Peace to All🙂
Uncle's beard wasn't long, toto wasn't black with long silky hair, yellow brick road wasn't "glowing" (it was GOLD, not yellow) and (missing), Dorothy's slippers were SILVER. The book was a analogous description of the fight for our government to have a SILVER backed dollar instead of a gold backed system of money.
Tin Man had villain vibes. I wouldn't have wanted to run into Metal Freddy Krueger holding his ax like that.
He kinda looks like Jeepers Creepers in my opinion

Love the song! Thanks for giving them credit.
Loved Toto and the music!
Thank you for watching.
the 2nd scarecrow looks like he's from the 1985 version of return to oz...
And the ruby slippers were silver.
but in the book when the wizard gives the scarecrow a brain. he removes his head fills it with metal shards that throad when he thinks
NGL, the Yellow Brick Road is still gorgeous!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching
Dorothy, Lion and Glinda look pretty close to the books but the others are pretty far off
It is interesting what AI can do and does I've actually read the series of the books I found in a library when I was a young child,great work 👍✌️💥💯‼️
The scarecrow in the thumbnail is a lot scarier than the one in the video 😂
The scary Tinman made me laugh out loud!
So after all these years it finally hits me that Dorothy's last name is Gale! Fitting, being as how gale-like winds picked up her family's house and deposited it on top of the Wicked Witch of the East in Munchkin Land!
Baum gave her the surname Gale as a deliberate pun, although it wasn't in the first book. He came up with it when he was co-creating the first stage version of "Wizard" in 1902.
On a more poignant note, it is worth noting that Baum's wife Maud had a niece who died in infancy whose name was Dorothy Gage.
AI can be pretty good and pretty bad. The music was A+
Wow..AI is actually pretty scary the fact how realistic these characters look....
Anybody else uneasy that in all these movies AI remakes the characters all look sinister? Is that what AI thinks of us humans?
I was expecting the "one eyed" witch to be a cyclops or some other creepy creature 😂 good thing she isn't
Some artists have drawn her that way.
One rare occurrence of the movie designs being impossible to improve upon, regardless of the source material. Both the movie as well as return to Oz are 10/10, especially when taken together as two extremes on an aesthetic spectrum.
The MGM _Wizard_ took its cues from W.W. Denslow's character designs in the first book, and RtO took inspiration from John R. Neill's work in the succeeding books.
Music is jamming
Thank you, that was fun. :>)
Thank you for watching.
So we just going to ignore that although it’s AI there is actually a person that looks like the generation they pulled off
Why does the Wizard look like William S. Burroughs after losing his own copy of Naked Lunch?
Gonna be honest: use this for casting and costume inspiration and I'd watch that movie.
The Tin Man could have come straight out of Return to Oz. The Wizard looks creepy.
very nice
it would be good to see a more faithful adaptation of the book, 1 day
Of as many books as possible... or as a streaming series. Most people only know of the original book, but only remember the movie. Don't get me wrong, I liked some of the changes - ruby slippers, witch with green skin, only coming into contact with Glinda - the Good Witch of the South rather than also meeting the Witch of of the North., the Emerald City actually being emeralds. But I must say, I really do prefer the Wicked Years quadrilogy. It's just too bad the two films are going to based on Broadway musical, which highly deviates from a mature fantasy to family-friendly nonsense.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Glinda is the Good Witch of the South in the books, and that whole "Wicked" thing is an abomination.
Agreed that it would be a good thing to see, but it wouldn't look like this.
I love the Munchkins so much! Dorothy looked perfect. most of them were fine except the Tin Woodman. No idea what to say about those liberties. If you put a long beard on their Henry he'd look pretty close to the book. Don't know why it was missing the beard.
I feel like they dressed the wizard wrong, and that long face wasn't something you usually saw with his peppy personality.
That’s going into the new wizard of oz film.
I love this interesting comparison between a book and a film in the story. So, I signed up for your channel subscription and see more screen AI. 😂
No one could ever replace Billie Burke as Glinda
One is a much-loved movie. The other is a forgotten nightmare.
The book is neither forgotten nor a nightmare.
Is there an equivalent to letting AI actually read the whole book instead of just descriptions since (i'd hope) it would pick up more contextual information that way.
This is a great example why AI will never replace us. It is our flawed (tortured) human nature that our art is born from. Just as Jesus' profound suffering leads to the ultimate beauty of Salvation for those who choose to accept him as their Lord and Saviour. Also, the classic 'Wizard of OZ' (1939) is still very cool. Plus, I also love 'Return to OZ'!!! (1985) Peace to All🙂
What's the name of that song. I love it.

Uncle's beard wasn't long, toto wasn't black with long silky hair, yellow brick road wasn't "glowing" (it was GOLD, not yellow) and (missing), Dorothy's slippers were SILVER. The book was a analogous description of the fight for our government to have a SILVER backed dollar instead of a gold backed system of money.
