The 1939 edition is a rare case of a Hollywood remake being better than the original…
Now this does makes sense– after all, this film was released in 1910. Is that an excuse for the horrible storytelling: yes, have I seen “films” ~released during the same time that did manage to that better– also yes. What this movie also has– was a fairy-tale like world building, that made “Oz” feel as a magical place– just like the wizard of Oz would do nearly 30 years later (but better ofcourse).
