This was before the film was remastered to include the original sepia-tinted titles and Kansas sequences (by the 1940's, reissues were printed in black and white).
I remember renting this VHS from the Novato public library in the 5th grade.

I have the Warner VHS of this where it has a documentary as a bonus feature at the end, it was narrated by the late, great Angela Lansbury (RIP).
And speaking of “The Wizard of Oz”, it was 66 years ago back on November 3rd 1956, “The Wizard of Oz” made its debut on CBS-TV for the first time and it became a household name, and it has been a year-long tradition.
Watch it in 4 K. It's night and day. Quality is insane.
I did recently. It puts all other versions to shame. It’s like a window into a way of making movies that no longer exists.
I was born the day before Margaret Hamilton died in 1985.
I didn't expect the movie to be in black and white. I thought the Kansas sequences had the sepia tone format.
They did in the Warner Bros re-release.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 I see. But did the original 1939 premiere release have the B&W or the sepia-tone format? The odds between the premiere release to theatrical reissues and home media re-releases can be intrigued.
@@Kevin-xv9pm it was in B&W in 1939 for sure.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 Interesting.

Whats bsod?
*MARGRET HAMILTON DIED THE EXACT SAME YEAR AS THIS RELEASE! (1985)*
She played the Wicked Witch.
*ON SESAME STREET BACK IN 1976!*
@@NECHOII she was also on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
*I'M SUPPRISED ''MGM/UA HOME VIDEO'' DIDN'T PUT THIS MOVIE ON THEIR ''GREAT BOOKS ON VIDEO'' SERIES, BACING THE FILM ON ''THE WIZARD OF OZ'' BOOK FROM 1900!*
*AND THEY FORGOT TO MAKE THE WARNING-SCROLL AND LOGO BLACK AND WHITE~ FOR THIS IS NOT THE SEPIA-TONE VERSION: AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S ''THE WIZARD OF OZ'', (with most of the movie being in colour) THEY HAVE MADE THE SAME MISTAKE FOR ''MUNITY ON THE BOUNTY'' (the tape also being from 1985) AND THAT ENTIRE MOVIE IS IN BLACK AND WHITE!*
do you have the entire vhs movie?
It's supposed to be sepia tinted. Not black and white.
Isn't this the exact same opening and closing for the 1983 and 1988 VHS?
*THIS IS THE ORIGINAL HOME VIDEO RELEASE!*
Actually, it was released on VHS twice prior to the 1985 issue (in 1980 and 1983)...also, I think the 1988 release had a Turner logo in between the MGM/UA logo and start of the film.
*YOU'RE RIGHT~ WHAT I MEN'T TO SAY WAS THAT THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF ''THE WIZARD OF OZ'' WAS THE BLACK AND WHITE VERSION BEFORE THE SEPIA TONED VERSIONS: THERE WAS ALSO A RELEASE IN 1981 WITH THE SECOND AND LAST ''MGM/CBS HOME VIDEO LOGO'' ON IT! (the one where the ''CBS Video'' logo's jingle then becomes the ''MGM/UA Home Video'' 's jingle on it.) BOTH MGM/CBS RELEASES HAVE ONE OF EACH HOME VIDEO TRAILER FOR THE WIZARD OF OZ~ I CALL THEM ''THE IMAGINE TRAILERS'': DURING THE FIRST RELEASE OF THE WIZARD OF OZ, JOHN LENNON (songwriter for the song ''Imagine'') WAS STILL ALIVE FOR ANOTHER TWO MONTHS!!*
@@NECHOII The sepia was actually used in the original theatrical release.
The 1999 Warner VHS has previews and the closing also has a “Making of” documentary hosted by Angela Lansbury, the voice of Mrs. Potts in “Beauty and the Beast”.
Is the whole movie on this VHS tape in black and white, including the scenes in Oz?
In 1949, the film was reissued in black and white, until 1989, when the film was remastered in sepia.
Black and white
*IT'S THE ORIGINAL VERSION, THE SEPIA TONED VERSION CAME LATER!*
@@NECHOII No, the movie as seen in 1939 in theaters used sepia.
*DID SOMEONE WHO SAW IT IN THE THEATERS BACK IN 1939 SAW IT LIKE THAT?*
@NECHO II That's what I said.
*SO IT WAS ONLY BLACK AND WHITE SINCE 1980?*
