No matter how old I get this opening still makes me feel like a kid again... this movie will always be magical
@lenciciocityscapeart4954
I'm 63 now and hearing this has a power of force and innocence that is overwhelming. Magical in every way and otherworldly
@angrymobsters1599
Im 23 but for some reason this intro always gived me the feels and makes me feel nostalgic for a time that i didn't exist in. This movie will forever be engrained in my heart forever. Timeless masterpiece.
@TheCarnivalguy
One of the greatest and most iconic overtures in all of film history.
@TheMuni777
I absolutely love how those first six notes sound, heralding in a great classic to the screen. You KNOW what you’re about to see when you hear that.
@AlexMR
I've noticed whenever I'm stressed or upset about something I always come back to just this opening of the movie I'll of course watch the rest of the movie but it's this opening number that can put me at ease or make my panic attacks calm down idk this movie is a gift I treasure
@Blahbevava
One of the few movies that will still be around and loved 500 years from now.
@Grandmaster_Dragonborn
Even though i was born over 50 years after it came out, i feel truly blessed to have had this film be a big part of my childhood. A timeless masterpiece.

My grandmother got me watching this. I was 5 years old, (1979) and I was bored. She put on this movie. At that time, it came on every year around Easter on CBS. I saw that it was in black and white and thought, "This is boring. I don't like black and white movies." She let me grumble on. But once the movie turned into color, and Dorothy lands in Oz, I became so fascinated!!!! It's been my favorite movie ever since! We would watch it every year together. Sadly, she ended up with Alzheimer's and couldn't remember that we watched it together every year. But I would put the movie on anyway whenever I saw that it was airing. She's resting in peace now. Every time I watch it, I think of her. RIP Grandma.

"... and to the Young in Heart, we dedicate this picture" + the cello solo/ those orchestrations... all of the tears. Just gorgeous. What a gift this film and musical score has been to generations.
@megan8765
literally the best opening orchestral music to any movie i know of.
@MultiWeb23
It is amazing how it starts with triumphal horns, a middle melody and the theme "ding-dong the witch is dead" is played by brass instruments followed by a choir making the sound of a tornado that leads to the title of the film. Those are just the incredible first 20 seconds of this film.
@rayjoy58
I love this movie. I know I am getting older when this opening brings tears.
@bobbyh2019
The Wizard of Oz will always be a part of me. This is an outstanding movie that all ages today need to see! You'll fall in love with it!
@davidpalmer7175
This opening fanfare is like an instant time machine to me. I'm 64 now, but remember this "once a year" broadcast on TV back as far as 3 years old.
@TheGreekPianist
0:14 The choir part still gives me chills! They did a phenomenal job sounding like a tornado 🌪️
@sclerismockrey8506
Even just that opening Db6 orchestra stab... takes you RIGHT back! It's just MAGICAL, the whole thing.
@rayjoy58
The Wizard of Oz will always be one of my favorite movies. i remember when I did it as a play with my second graders.
@sisterluke
The one thing about this film and other old films is that its timeless. That's how you know it was one of the greatest films ever made. A grandmother who was born in 1930 loved it and a person born in 2004 loves it.
