When people speak of classic cinema, *The Wizard of Oz* stands not just as a beloved film, but as a touchstone of 20th-century storytelling — a movie that blends fantasy and emotion, innocence and danger, with a brilliance that continues to resonate nearly a century later.

Released in 1939 and directed by Victor Fleming (alongside uncredited work by King Vidor and others), *The Wizard of Oz* was adapted from the 1900 novel *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* by L. Frank Baum. Yet what the film became was something even more magical than the book itself: a vibrant Technicolor dream, carried on the wings of music, performance, and timeless imagination.

At the heart of the story is Dorothy Gale, a young girl from Kansas, played with radiant sincerity by Judy Garland. Swept away by a tornado to a fantastical land, she sets off on a journey to find her way home, guided by the promise of help from a mysterious wizard. Along the yellow brick road, she meets three iconic companions — a Scarecrow who longs for a brain, a Tin Man who desires a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who seeks courage. Together, they face enchantments, dangers, and ultimately, themselves.

But *The Wizard of Oz* is more than a fairytale. It’s a story of longing — for home, for identity, for self-worth. Its deeper message lies in the realization that what we seek "out there" is often already within us. The Wizard, revealed to be an ordinary man behind a curtain, reminds us that magic may be nothing more than confidence, kindness, and belief in oneself.

The film’s music, especially *Over the Rainbow*, has become inseparable from the fabric of popular culture. That one song, sung with aching hope by a girl in gingham, has become a universal anthem for dreams — fragile, unreachable, and worth chasing all the same.

Visually, *The Wizard of Oz* revolutionized cinema. The stark shift from sepia-toned Kansas to Technicolor Oz remains one of the most memorable transitions in film history. The costumes, the Munchkinland set, the Wicked Witch’s green skin, the glimmering Emerald City — these images became icons not only of fantasy, but of cinema itself.

And then there’s the legacy. Beyond the screen, *The Wizard of Oz* became a metaphor. “There’s no place like home,” Dorothy says, clicking her heels. But for generations of viewers — children, dreamers, misfits — Oz was home. A place where you could be different, magical, brave, or afraid, and still find your way.

The film continues to inspire artists, musicians, and storytellers. It is not just a product of its time, but a beacon — pointing us to that golden road, reminding us that the journey is as important as the destination, and that sometimes, the only thing separating the black-and-white from the color is the courage to open the door.

A meeting between the Little Prince and Jonathan Livingston the seagull, between Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, between Bernard Mandeville and Adam Smith, or Archimedes and Newton, all while passing through an explanation of Plato's myth of the cave, kinesiology, the four Toltec agreements, Diogenes syndrome, and Pareto's law, not to mention a tribute to Michel Legrand, François Truffaut, Louis de Funes, Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, and Jacques Tati... all while passing through a hymn to prime rib, the recipe for cassoulet, sauerkraut, paella, veal blanquette, and the art of the aperitif.

This is our musical universe. From rap to country, reggae, jazz, blues, and so many others.

Each theme deserves a suitable musical style.

Let's not forget our nods to New York, Miami, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong, Moscow, Barcelona, ​​Lisbon, London, kyiv, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Los Angeles and Beijing... each in the language of their country.
