The Wizard of Oz

The most seen film in cinematic history also features the most iconic dog to ever arf on the silver screen: Terry the Cairn Terrier as the ever-loyal Toto. While the prismatic story of Dorothy’s voyage through a magical world wasn’t the first Technicolor film put to screen, it surely popularized the technology with its jaw-dropping revelatory transition to vibrant color upon the Kansan’s arrival in Oz. Nominated for five Academy Awards and launching Judy Garland to international stardom, Victor Fleming’s (Gone with the Wind) landmark cinematic achievement lives on nearly 90 years after its release as America’s most enduring fairytale story.
