It’s cute and fun but to me the movie with Judy Garland is like…way better.

Stuff just happens. Dorothy is a goody goody who does manslaughter twice with no "what have I done". The naughtiest she gets is splashing someone, just turns out that to a witch, water is the equivalent of petrol to a human. My favourite bits were the bits not in the movie so in that way you could say it's a victim of its own success, but I feel like if Dorothy had been more of a Huck Finn and less of an Oliver Twist I'd still like her no matter how many times I heard her story. I feel like goody goody kids are written more for the parent than the child.
