The Wizard of Oz has become such a part of out culture that it is often difficult to remember wher it came from. The film is a collaborative work by many.
"If The Wizard of Oz is a work of art - and, I suppose, its presence in this series indicates that I'm not alone in thinking that it is - it's extremely difficult to say who the artist was ... Who, then, is the author of The Wizard of Oz? No single writer can claim that honour, not even the author of the original book. Mervyn LeRoy and Arthur Freed, the producers, both have their champions. At least four directors worked on the picture, most notably Victor Fleming, who left before shooting ended"
While these children are not working on the film itself, they continue to keep the creative proess alive. New renditions of various aspects of the film are always being made which is part of the magic of it.
The other aspect of this video that goes greatly agaisnt the belief of Rushdie is that the youth are really in control just like Dorothy has to "take controll of her own desotiny." This video is of a group of kids singing a song which it looks like they were forced to lean. Although they may have fun at points, the enthusiasm is not equal with someone who decided to go up there and do this on their own.
