The Internet Archive allows the public to upload and download digital material to its data cluster, but the bulk of its data is collected automatically by its web crawlers, which work to preserve as much of the public web as possible. Its web archive, the Wayback Machine, contains hundreds of billions of web captures. The Archive also oversees one of the world's largest book digitization projects." -Wiki.org |

 Love the original cartoon. Don’t know if I can sit through the entire live action franchise but I’ll try the first 2002 film. Poster has the series up on the Archive. Wonder what Stan Lee thought about any of the new millennium interpretations. |

 Watching THE WIZ again this afternoon. I was never crazy about Ms. Ross as Dorothy but I love the artful variation on the 1939 original - and especially the Charlie Smalls musical score. Found a great free copy on the Internet Archive and "10 Things You Didn't Know About The Wiz" (above), which is impressive (stuff I didn't even know - and I saw the original Broadway play!). Anyhoo, enjoy the flash back to the funky 70s.  |

Whenever this comes up I always remember some movie guy talking to Larry King on the radio about how this pitch man came into his office all excited saying, "Let's to The Wiz white!" |

One YouTuber's analysis nailed the big, big problem: In addition to having no vibe for directing musicals in the first place, Sidney Lumet was so amazed by Tony Walton's fantasy NYC Oz set/matte design, he keeps wanting to show us ALL of it from ten miles away, and if we squint really, really closely, we can just barely make out Diana and Michael doing their dance moves:  And besides, The Wiz keeps showing up on and off Tubi and Amazon so frequently, it's not worth delving into the Archive to find it-- The Archive is for the TRUE Lost Arks of lost media that only the crazy fringe of the Internet would be talented enough to unearth from their burials, like, say...that cool lost 60's "Lone Ranger" cartoon that wanted to be a comic-book sci-fi Wild, Wild West:  archive.org/details/LoneRangerCartoon1966CrackOfDoomOr all 39 episodes of the King Features "The Beatles" Saturday-morning cartoon (that later spawned "Yellow Submarine" as a bigscreen spinoff), that an embarrassed Sir Paul wants to keep buried in music rights:  archive.org/details/beatles-saturday-morning-cartoons-ep.-33 |

The thread was really created for suggestions based on your current viewing interest not what what others may find impressively obscure. |

I remember watching that cartoon on Saturday mornings from time to time. Cartoon George sang "Do You Want to Know a Secret". I think it may have been the only time cartoon George got to sing lead.
