I was watching the Wizard of Oz this Sunday and i was intrigued of the fact that there's suppose to be a "Hanging Munchkin", but I can't find it. Its said to be located at the right of the house after the Witch throws a fireball and Dorthy, the Tin-man and the Scarecrow spring into song. Is this really true or are they pulling my leg. If so can anyone support this info with a screenshot with a spotshadow or a video clip with a spotshadow or whatever. Thanks for the help!!!

Awesome, I'll watch it this weekend and look for it. I love hidden stuff in movies. If you watch the Goonies there's one part where Sean Astin calls the guy who plays his older brother by his real name instead of the character's name, or maybe the guy who plays his older brother calls Sean by his real name. I can't remember. It's when they're at the Fratelli's house.

Sorry, this is just an urban legend. Here's a page with a lot more explanation than I'm willing to write. :)

Here's the important quote: "To give the indoor set used in this sequence a more "outdoors" feel, several birds of various sizes were borrowed from the Los Angeles Zoo and allowed to roam the set. (A peacock, for example, can be seen wandering around just outside the Tin Woodsman's shack while Dorothy and the Scarecrow attempt to revive him with oil.) At the very end of this sequence, as the three main characters move down the road and away from the camera, one of the larger birds (often said to be an emu, but more probably a crane) standing at the back of the set moves around and spreads its wings. No munchkin, no hanging -- just a big bird."
There is a video clip near the bottom of the page.

I believe it's "the lollipop guild". Man, I feel like a loser for knowing that. :(
