Sex & Nudity

None

Violence & Gore

The Wicked Witch of the West sets the Scarecrow on fire twice. (He is saved both times.)

Profanity

None

None.

Younger children may be frightened by the scenes involving the Wicked Witch. It may help to explain before they see the film that it is all "pretend" with the intention of showing that good people are rewarded for what they do, while bad people are not. It may help to explain the Witch is wonderfully played by an actress who in reality was a kindly woman who was a former kindergarten teacher who loved to read the "Wizard of Oz" books to her students.

Some children may also be frightened by the Wicked Witch's flying monkeys.
