[edit] Articles to work on

[edit] New Wikipedia articles related to Oz

Please feel free to list your new Oz-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article. Also, please add one of the above categories to any new articles, and add them to the above lists.

I have created a page for the first of Shanower's Oz non-canonical graphic novels, The Enchanted Apples of Oz. I haven't put it under any of the categories other than Oz, because it doesn't really fit into them.

I added The Sword of Oz into the Oz listing as it fits into the series as a prequel and is supposed to accompany the "cannon" series

[edit] Pre-39 films

Has anyone done any work on articles about the various silent Oz films prior to MGM's? I'm thinking primarily of 1925's Wizard of Oz and the sequel His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz, both of which co-starred Oliver Hardy and have been available on DVD for a number of years (and were most recently added to the 1939 film as a bonus DVD feature. 23skidoo 04:41, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

1933's Wizard of Oz animated short starts in black and white and goes to color. Storyline is almost cheesy, but informative on a historic level. One of L. Frank Baum's son was involved in the production. This is included on the Wizard of OZ 3 disc DVD set. Updated Saturday, July 1, 2006

[edit] 1930s Radio Show

Does anyone know anything about the 1930s radio broadcasts starring Nancy Kelly as Dorothy that were sponsored by Jell-O? I've got the info somewhere, but I'd have to find it. Scottandrewhutchins 19:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resources

HIS MAJESTY THE SCARECROW OF OZ was the third of the Oz Film Manufacturing Co.'s Oz films. Oliver Hardy was not in this film.
