The Wizard Of Oz - If I Only Had A Heart 

seriously? XD

@@ZackExplorer28 It's true.

RIP Adriana Caselotti

@@wandaivanova4643 Yeah.

This WAS a fun fact!

His voice in general melts my heart. This song just captivates my soul every time.

Hearing the beats sound like Disney gulps

@@dillonkinder9296 that was Snow White's actress Adriana Casselotti saying "where fore art thou Romeo"

0:45 ​@@SillyCreatureSally 0:45

Same :)

Makes sense that the Scarecrow would borrow a few moves from the Tin Man

@@JazzStation95 he played Scarecrow. There’s a lot of dancing for that part.

Michael Jackson was literally the Scarecrow in The Wiz too lmfao

@@alexsolimani Not literally; he just played the part.

@@MaskedMan66 you know what I mean smartass

Just seeing the way that Judy Garland smiles at Jack Haley really makes this such a magical moment 🎉❤

Toto too? Is my favorite line in any film I ever saw

Hahah i say that to my dog whenever i put his harness on to take him out 😅😅😊❤​@@stonesinmyblood27

That's the point of the story; all the travelers really have what they think they need. 🙂

And you'd never guess he was brought in at the last minute. I mean, a similar thing happened with Fraggle Rock in 1981 when casting was underway. Not many people know that Karen Prell actually auditioned to play Mokey, because she thought she had more in common with her. She was understandably a little disappointed when she was cast as Red, but she eventually found out that she really did have a lot of Red inside. And she still performs Red to this day!

They were both acting. I'm not saying that they weren't friends, they were (and had acted together in a movie the year before they started work on _Wizard_ ), but they were just following the script and their directions. Nevertheless, you wouldn't ever suspect that he'd been brought in at the last minute, would you? 🙂

Here’s a little fun fact. Jack Haley did not use his normal speaking voice when playing the Tin Man, only when playing Hickory, one of the farm hands in Kansas. His normal speaking voice contained none of the almost falsetto-like quality that the Tin Man's did. This was Haley's own idea, and he himself said that this was the tone of voice that he used when relating bedtime stories to his then-small son, Jack Haley Jr.. The effette voice also contributed to the whole "Friends of Dorothy" mythology.

Yet despite that, his accent makes his performance all the more appealing

And Ray Bolger as well, both from Boston in fact both were practically neighbors

Ray Bolger totally had a Boston accent as Hunk “Then Toto won’t get in her “gah-den”, and you won’t get in no trouble...”

@@erichoover8105 Yeah, I've watched the movie 8 times now, and I totally noticed :)

Amazing

He actually softened his voice for the Tin Man song to be in line with how he'd read to his children

@@coreyrider8056 well regardless he still sings this better than most people

@@coreyrider8056 For the whole performance, actually. You can hear the difference when he speaks as Nick and when he speaks as Hickory.

originally the tin man was played by buddy ebson and his costume was made of lead and his face was painted in aluminium dust this caused him to suffer from lead poisoning and he was rushed to hospital the director then called the hospital and demanded he come to work but the hospital denied it. so he was replaced with jack haley and the costume was changed to cardboard and metal and grey face paint. you can find the original version of the song on youtube sung by ebson.

That's awesome

Me too!

@@JayToffs8 Did you go full silver too?

i have downloaded his personality into my consciousness

I hope you brought something of your own to the role as well.

Jus noticed that

Same. 😅

2:05

Terry was a good little performer!

Admittedly, I prefer this to Nimona.

That was when movies were a real art form, not the assembly line woke kak we got now.

What about now? ;-)

@@MaskedMan66 still my favorite. My grandparents loved it and so did my folks my aunts and uncles

same. I dressed up as him as a kid twice for Halloween lol

My favourite song used to be Emica's Song from the Rugrats All Growed Up special. Of course, my dad never let me watch Rugrats because he thought it was for babies. When I heard this song, I was in love.

As he would explain it, he knows that there is a right way to treat people, and until he gets a heart, he doesn't want to be unkind. As we all know, however, he really does have a kindness and a compassion to him which are left from the days when he was flesh and blood and did have a physical heart.

If the strawman doesnot have a brain why he always know how to do something, like how to get aples ..

@@snap_fit8686 The whole point of the story is that all the travelers already have what they think they want.

@@MaskedMan66 yes i think..

Oh so your saying he is so sweet to others that he wants a heart awww thats sweet 😊

Not true; he did want to preserve the mystery of Snow's voice, but Miss Caselotti did appear in "It's a Wonderful Life" and did have a stage career.

@@MaskedMan66 The situation is a little complicated than that. Jack Benny recalled in an interview that Disney declined to have Caselotti guest in his radio show for the reasons you mentioned.

@@blakegriplingph I'd heard of that.

@@blakegriplingph Caselotti also confirmed this in a July 3rd 1993 article published in The Day, a local newspaper in New London, Connecticut.

According to an article published in the St. Petersburg Times, on June 29th, 1940, Caselotti sued Disney when she learned they used her voice on Snow White records and didn't receive any share of profits. Disney's lawyer proved to the judge that she signed away all rights to her performance every time she signed her paycheck.

Fun Fact: That line was sung by Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). She was also paid $1000 for her only line in the film.

I hear a beat ..... how sweet.

@@vanevane3219 Huh?

@@disneyrules7808 like this the song said

@@vanevane3219 Okay.

So maybe I could say he was "a really cool dancer"? (Rugrats fan mode enabled)

Ik

Such a gorgeous voice 😍

That's one of the many things I love about Jack Haley - his beautiful singing voice.

Actually the tin man didn’t have a heart. Even Oz said that “he was lucky not to have one.”

@@Cosmos6745 Yes, he did. That was the whole point of the story; they all had what they thought they needed.

Imagine if he smiled at me instead. I'd be blushing for hours after. ☺️

Pedo.

Don't talk like a pedo. Dorothy is only twelve.

You'd never believe he was an eleventh-hour replacement, would you? 🙂

​@@peterheimsoth159I knew, Buddy Ebsen got sick from the aluminum based makeup.

@@spideraxis That's right. It was an aluminum powder dusted over the white greasepaint he wore. Everyone, including Ebsen, figured it was much the same as regular setting powder, but it got into the air and then into his lungs. This would be a problem for anyone, but he had a congenital bronchial condition, so it was worse for him. But not only did he recover, he lived to be 95 years old! :-0

@@peterheimsoth159 He later said loss of the role was the single biggest disappointment of his career.

@@spideraxis It must have done him good, then, when he played the Scarecrow on stage some years later. 🙂

No haht?! No haht.

They grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same church. 🙂

It's so weird that this Movie bombed in the Cinemas at his Time

He doesn't want to live like a human, he wants to love like a human

​@@SillyCreatureSallyhe doesn't want to love like a human, he wants a heart so he can be kind and giving like one, even though he was very kind and caring without a heart.

@@mikebastarache7677 I was referring to the fact that he enjoyed being made of tin, even though he had no heart (or so he thought!).

@@SillyCreatureSally Someone on one of these pages once asked, "Why didn't he ask the Wizard to make him flesh and blood again?" I said what you've said here, that he preferred being tin and not having to bother with the inconveniences of eating, sleeping, bathing, and getting dressed.

To me, if I only had a heart resonates even stronger with Data from Star Trek The Next Generation. He’s an android, and while he definitely doesn’t feel in the same way other humans do, he isn’t without feeling as much as he claims. He was taught for a long time that an android couldn’t be many of the things he deeply wanted to be. His greatest desire is to be human, he doesn’t want to stop being an android, he just wants to be a human too. He must have been inspired by the Tin Woodsman because his character arc and desire to be a person who can feel resonates with him in so many ways. The irony of someone so gentle and kind and caring, and selfless believing that they cannot love is profound. His earnest wish to be human is the most human thing of all. Of the human members of the cast, he is the most human of all. Data’s character mirrors Spock as his opposite. Spock is ashamed of his humanity and attempts to suppress and hide his boundless emotion that he sees as a weakness and a threat to those around him. Vulcan feelings are so much more potent than human emotions, and so for them the only way to think critically, logically and ethically was to learn to suppress their emotions. Humans are the opposite: when we suppress our emotions we cannot escape them, we merely no longer recognise their sway over us and we become aggressive and cruel to ourself and others and leave those who are in tune with their emotions to pick up the pieces and do the emotional labour that the emotionally repressed person should have taken responsibility and accountability to do so themselves. For humans their is no choice between emotion and logic, because we cannot function without fully understanding and reconciling both as necessary for a healthy mind. Emotion is meaning, logic is understanding. You cannot understand without meaning, and you cannot find meaning without understanding. Spock is both Human and Vulcan, both knowing he has a ‘heart’, wishing he didn’t, and wishing that he could have emotions without shame and self-loathing. While Data isn’t a particularly emotional person, and from an outside perspective he seems like he would make for a very successful Vulcan. In reality though, his desire to be human is in and of itself the most human thing of all. Sometimes he will describe an experience he has had in his forthright and earnest way, and he will say the most heartfelt, heartbreaking thing you’ve ever heard, only to say that he is incapable of feeling sadness but he imagines that of he could, it would make him sad. He will sometimes say that his feelings cannot be hurt, but it becomes more and more apparent that this not only isn’t true, he genuinely believes that what he experiences is not important enough to be considered equally valid as organic human feelings, despite them evidently being incredibly important to him. Brent Spiner plays him with such subtlety and nuance and innocence and humour and dignity, and as someone who has been made to feel like I don’t belong, Mr. Data is the Star Trek character I think I relate to the most alongside Mr. Spock. They are both so different and yet they are two sides of the same coin. I chose to listen to this song today because I had been watching Star Trek TNG, and Data reminds me of it. So to see another Trekkie see parallels between these characters was a welcome surprise :) LLAP 🖖

@@notmyrealname3576 You remember Dr. Ira Graves's favorite song, don't you? ;-)

Ah, I see why. Because Nerve is a bit short and is kinda overshadowed by the other actors. The Lion sadly doesn’t get the spotlight to himself as the other two do for their songs.

The Lion does eventually get the spotlight in the song, If I Were King of the Forest. You're right, Heart is the best, because that's where the Tin Man shows he already has a heart. (And I certainly think Haley was better, because I have heard Ebsen's version and it's a bit more mechanical.) There was planned to be a dance following Brain, and it's all that's been found out of the lost footage. It's available right her on RU-vid.

Same... I'm kidding. I did like that, I really did, but it's mostly my obsession with Jack Haley. (facepalm)

I can relate to the Tin Man tho

"Bee-yootiful! What a necho!"

*knows that Jack was an eleventh hour replacement*

That SURE would've scared me too... 🙁

Would have scared me too... If I were a dog.

@@SillyCreatureSally Wotcher, Sally! I'm speaking to you from my other YT account because I've been blocked for making "hateful" comments. Can you imagine? I can't wait to read the email they said they'll send. lol

@@peterheimsoth159 Blocked? For trying to get the truth out? And because people are too misinformed to believe you? Good god. Anyway, it's Karen Prell's birthday next week. I'm very excited.

@@SillyCreatureSally I know, it's so stupid. I mean, I know that a lot of people nowadays are way too sensitive, but I've seen far worse things that get by. I ran into someone recently who called me rude, and then went on to tell me to shut up, and swore at another commenter. Still no sign of the e-mail. So how old will she be?

Le Epic Troll

That sounds like a fun idea

We didn't miss anything; everything that Haley filmed is in the picture. Fun Fact: The "steam" was actually talcum powder. The noise that it made was added in post-production, so Terry was signaled by her trainer to act startled by the noise that wasn't there!

Damm now i can't unsee it

@@MaskedMan66 We missed the dancing! They cut away the Dorothy as he was dancing!

@@earlyculyer4103 Since there was going to be a cutaway shot anyway, they probably didn't have Jack do any dancing at that point in the song. And if they did and we missed some, *shrug* that's showbiz! :-)

@@MaskedMan66 That's interesting I always thought it was the "toot toot" noise that startled Toto. That part was always really funny to me.

Yes it is!

Not true; she was involved in ten film projects in her career, including _It's a Wonderful Life._ And the quote is, "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" with no comma. "Wherefore" means "why." 🙂

@@MaskedMan66 It's silly how people comment on the most trivial of matters that have nothing to do with the subject. So I forgot the comma. Sue me.

@@joshs4594 There's nothing trivial about accuracy. One punctuation mark put wrong can change the whole meaning of a sentence. You'd do well to check out the book "Eats, Shoots and Leaves: Why, Commas Really DO Make a Difference!" 🙂 Besides, you also misunderstood the word "wherefore." But don't take it bad, millions have.

Same thing with the original 1933 _King Kong..._ 😎👍

Speaking of computer effects, there was a lighting technique known as pakapaka used in 1990s animes. However, it is not used anymore, after an incident that occurred when it was first used in Pokémon.

The episode was called Computer Warrior Porygon. It led to 618 Japanese children being hospitalised and the character Porygon ended up being banned from the show altogether.

Back when CGI didn't exist. If it did, they probably would have used it.

What was your costume like?

@@MaskedMan66 The body was a trash can covered in foil and the arms were that flexible pipe. And much like Jack Haley, when wearing it, I couldn't sit down.

@@timfortune9 I'm the same guy, just on my other account. Sounds cool! Well, except for the not being able to sit down part. lol

Now let’s have a redubbing this time with Rachel Zegler on this line

No, you're not mistaken at all.

You sounded like you didn't want to! lol

True! Sadly it didn't last long, but while they were married, they took Jack, Sr. to see "The Wiz" on Broadway. He groused on the ride to the theater, saying that nobody could do a version as good as what he had been in, but by the end of the show, he was on his feet applauding with everyone else! 🙂 The cast invited him up to the stage to take a bow!

Mj style!!!!

What

The best bit of his dance 🙂

He's adorable 🥰

OMG same! I thought I was the only one!

Me too
