It's basically a movie about a little girl who's dog gets killed.

I know there are many clichés about how trippy the Wizard of Oz is. But I watched it recently, and noticed something which is very disturbing.

What is the conflict that sends Dorothy off on her adventure?
The old woman wants to take Toto away. And presumably, since she’s handing him into the authorities, the pup will be put to sleep.
She makes her case to Auntie Em and Uncle Henry: This dog bit me. It is illegal for you to keep a dangerous animal.
Antie Em and Henry are pretty clear. While they think the woman is mean, they unambiguously agree to turn the dog in.
So, since they have agreed, the fact that the dog escapes is irrelevant. In fact, this is why Dorothy runs away in the first place.

The whole idea of “there is no place like home” is actually resolved about 5 minutes after she runs away – the carnival guy convinces her immediately that this is a bad idea.

So, even though Glenda says “All you had to do was realize that there is no place like home, and you’ll return there” the fact is not really the conflict. She already decided, even before coming to Oz, that she wants to go home. Even when she ran away, she wasn’t really upset with home per se. She ran away for one reason alone.

That reason was because Auntie Em and Uncle Henry had agreed to turn the dog over to the authorities. The dog was not safe there.

BUT THAT ISSUE IS NEVER RESOLVED!!!!!

The movie ends up with her cuddling up with Toto and saying something to the effect of “Yay Toto, we’re home.”

But presumably, the old lady is simply going to show up in a day or too, or the sheriff himself to take the dog away to the pound!!!!! The stepparents haven't changed their minds!!

The movie ends without the main issue being resolved. It is the plot point that drives the movie from act one to act two. The reason she bumps her head in the first place is a result of her attempt to save her dog! This is not a minor inconsistency – it is instrumental to the plot of the movie, and is a MAIN CONFLICT OF THE MOVIE!!! It’s blatant!!!

THE UNSAID TRUTH OF THE WIZARD OF OZ IS THAT TOTO GETS KILLED SOON AFTER THE CAMERAS ARE TURNED OFF!!!!!!!!!
