Is there really a person hanging in the background in the Wizard of Oz?

That is correct.. .it is one of the "little people" who were depressed throughout the making of the movie. It's during the part where they just meet the tinman in the forest. Right afterwards the witch appears on the top of the house and threaten them. Right after that, if you look in the background next to the house, you will see a leg flailing from a tree. It's tough to tell and the best part to see it is when they're singing, "We're off to the see the Wizard." Like I said before, it's right next to the house.... because if you look a little more to the right, there is a goose that is kind of wiggling around, but that's not him. Hope that helps! :)

i never heard of that.  but i assume it is a little one that stands behind the bride and holds her train.  i don't think they do that anymore.  check out footage of the royal wedding.  They are uber traditional, and would def. have any of that kind of stuff.

The only thing I could find about Disney characters and drugs are linked below. I guess that the catapillar in Alice In Wonderland is smoking something, but we will never know what it is, as it isn't identified in the book by Caroll

It's hard to say for sure exactly how many pairs ther were, as MGM did not keep specific records. It is also possible that there were pairs that were destroyed, as many of the current authenticated pairs on the market were saved on their way to the incinerator. But it is known that there were several pairs made for Garland, which was a common practice for key props so that if anything happened to them during filming, they could be quickly changed.\n\nBut there are many "real" red slippers from the Wizard of Oz that Garland wouldn't have worn. Remember, the Wicked Witch of the East had  pair on when she was hit by the house and Margaret Hamilton (Wicked witch of the West) had a pair on when she flew past the window on a broom (in the sepia colored scenes). Also, Garland's double Bobbie Koshay would have had several pairs made for her.\n\nSo in the end, there would probably be quite a few "real" ruby slippers out there that were actually involved in the production of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz.

my class just finished reading the Glass Menagerie. you mean the scarecrow is like a metaphor? I don't understand what you mean though about how the scarecrow does his job instead of standing in the bright sun...isn't the scarecrow always in the bright sun while it's doing its job?? Update your question to let me know...I'll check back and write back to you on it.

In the scene where the tin man, the lion, and the scarecrow are going to the witch's castle in search of Dorothy, the tin man has an ax in his hand, the lion has a exterminating device (?), and the scarecrow has a pistol. Where in the world did that come from?  :)\n\nBut did you ever notice the guy in the background hang himself?  It's the scene when the Tin Man is introduced.  It happens right before they start they're journey on the yellow brick road.  Look behind his cabin when the witch appears on his roof...pretty scary.

There is no specific person.... it is simply a neutral narrator. Keep in mind Orwell wrote this in the form of an allegory, so there isn't a particular character telling us the story at all.

are there people who think like this? yes\n\ndo they know what they are doing?   no\n\nif they are fooling with any kind of "dead" thing, it is probably a demonic spirit taking them for a ride.

Yes but it's not a ghost.\n\nMy friend and I rented the film for the very specific purpose of seeing it. What it is - when they are in the bedroom with the baby, you see a figure standing in the background, sort of behind the curtain. We absolutely flipped out and started screaming when we saw it. \n\nNow, I can't remember if it is the previous scene in the room, or the following scene, but you can actually see very clearly that the 'figure' or 'ghost' is in fact a cardboard cutout of one of the guys (either Ted Danson or Tom Selek). It's just propped up near the curtain / window. \n\nIn the ghost scene it makes it look like someone is standing behind / near the window. But it's just a trick of the eye.

hanging causes the bodies muscles to relax  so yep it is poo you will smell, along with urine , and many of the people hung were left there to rot - to teach a lesson to the common folks . - k

I think nothing about them.\n\nAs for this hanging thing????? I won't believe it unless I can see it for myself and even then I would still question whether it was a look alike.\n\nAll of it sounds like a "wag the dog", if you ask me.

I think it is. When I saw him flying from building to building, that did it for me. Either he is a helluva magician or the camera effects are awesome. In any event, I think it's fake...
