When this writer was five, her father took an old pair of her shoes and painstakingly glued red glitter to them, so she could have ruby slippers and be Dorothy for Halloween. She lived and breathed 'The Wizard of Oz' from a young age, and it remains one of her all-time favorite movies.
But the woke machine comes for all and no movie, no matter how beloved, is safe from being destroyed in the name of 'modern audiences.'
A modernized ‘WIZARD OF OZ’ series is in the works at Prime Video

Everyone. Everywhere.
"Modern Audiences" sure to be the focus.

The 'modern audiences' that don't exist.
This is going to suck a**.

Stop messing with and trying to recreate perfect movies.
They're not trying to recreate it. They're destroying it.
Thanks. I hate it.

Already out
I'm tired of modern fairytale settings and subversions
There's 40 canon books to pull from, and barely a few have ever had big adaptations
Can we get some of those instead please? https://t.co/Qy8Szs12e4
Nah. They don't do that anymore.
“Yellow Brick Road used as a metaphor for the challenges and choices facing young adults today” and it’s made by a bunch of 50-60 years olds. Good job guys, surely this one will resonate with Gen Z. https://t.co/5d2XSqNGvv
