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

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

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)

Hollow Earth Theories

Has anyone here read any scholarship (or entertaining speculation) linking Baum's weird maps to his experience in the Theosophical Society and possible exposure to Hollow Earth theories?

Because the East-West inversion (and the various ways of getting to Oz - through cracks in the Earth past the Vegetable Kingdom, the tunnel that the dragon flies through from China and so forth) make sense from the perspective of Oz being inside a hollow sphere, the way Cyrus Teed thought we were all living. The Nomes simply travel through a layer of crust several miles thick.... grant (talk) 18:51, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

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.

The Children's literature tag

It seems all the Oz books are tagged as Kid's books regardless of the appropriateness of label. The books in the Wicked Years series: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Son of a Witch, and A Lion Among Men are not children's books something the author makes very clear. I am also pretty sure Was is not a children's book either. A close look should be taken at the Oz books to make sure the are not inappropriately categorized as kids books as some aren't.
