The original motion picture, the beginning was filmed in lack and white. When Dorthy opens the door after crashing in OZ then everything was filmed in color. The purpose of the black and white, was to instill the impression that life was dull and un-exciting for Dorthy. But when she went to OZ, which was over the rainbow, things were much brighter and exciting, except for the wicked witch, she if you noticed was black dressed, black hair, and very white complexion.

the very first wizard of oz was a war propaganda script and later it was made into a movie as we all know it now it was in black and white that was the firt time that they exspermented puttiing colored and black and white film together as one and yes the film was black and white till the house landed in oz(Somewhere over the rainbow) A fun fact: the house that alway changed color every time you seen it? they toook that frame of that house and dipped it in different color jello mixes to get the different colors.
there was also to be another scene in the movie called the jitter bug where the witch saids I sent a little bug along to tke the fight out of them - but you never see the bug . that part was clipped
what the bug did was make the dance themselves to sleep
but the person playing the tin man couldn't move that freely so that was cut.

The first part of the movie, up until the house landed in OZ, was black and white. The rest was in color. This is how it was first shown.
Oh, that's right. I forgot they went back to b&w when she got home.

Yes Oz was in color, the rest was in black and white. Except when it first came out, because people did not have colored T.V. then LOL

The first part of the film was made before there was colored film. Color film was released, and the people that made it, decided that to save money, and add to the mystique of the film, the"black and white" parts represent life in the "real" world and the "color" parts were for the imaginary world of Oz(I heard for the "color" parts of the film, they had to "bind" Judy Garland's breasts to make her look as young as she was for the earlier film)

The wizard of oz was one of the first (if not it was THE first) movie to use techicolor... In all versions of it, kansas is shown in black and white and oz is shown in color.

Everything in Oz was in color, and the "real world" was in black in white.... Its interesting because real life (to us) is in color and most people dream in black and white...the movie is opposite.

Yes. It turned to color when Dorothy was in Oz and she met the little people.

The movie was in b&w till after the house landed. When she got off the bed and opened up the door, there was color. The color went on thru the movie till her Auntie Em and Uncle Henry were waking her up.

YES, when her house landed on Oz and she walked out, everything was in color. It was very revolutionary for the time.
