The movie conducts a message about friendship, adventure, and positive spirit to the audience. And a classical topic of the book, The Wizard of Oz, is fantasy, appealing the interest and attention of the kids. Certainly, the lost content in the movie is related to the violence or dark plot of the book, revealing the real history.
