Bye, munchkins! Goodbye!

... and off on down the yellow brick road Dorothy went, dancing and singing her little heart out. Sure, one could easily start out this way, all full of excitement and energy, but it could also run out pretty quick; considering what ones stamina looks like. And that appeared to be a very LONG road, you know? Liv had been dancing ballet since she was three years old, and not even her own stamina could've kept up with it. So.

It was almost blasphemy that Olivia hadn't taken the house elves up on their offer of snacks and movie!time goodies.... BUT SHE WAS ENGROSSED, you see. More of her favorite scenes were coming up... Okay, honestly, the entirety of the movie was her favorite, but that was truly beside the point. Of the three songs belonging to Dorothy's companions, the scarecrow one always made her want to sing along, and as it began, the Gryffindor tried her very best to keep a lid on her musical urges, but... Well, she was a tried and true child of the theatre! It was fruitless pursuit... Especially when Dorothy's small part began...

"With the thoughts you'd be thinkin'... you could be another Lincoln, if you oooonly had a braaaain." Liv wasn't even sorry. This was her lifeblood! Also, the costuming in this movie was simply A+. That facial makeup on the Scarecrow was so realistic looking, that one could easily think he truly was a man made of straw. And A+ acting, as well, because the dancing and shaky, sloppy motions were so perfect for the persona he'd taken on! It never failed to impress this one, needless to say!

".....We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz...."

Thankfully, she'd regained her facilities enough NOT to belt that one out. Hehe, but just know that it had been VERY HARD. Also, the Scarecrow was super smart to think of insulting the trees to get them to toss their own apples. So, clearly he had somewhat of a brain. Ideas didn't just come from your stomach, you know?... Although, how very funny would that be? If you had to feed your tummy to get ideas. Though, she supposed you did have to eat to get your brain working, as well. Food was just awesome like that.

....AND THE TIN MAN!

Again, she didn't really believe the bit about him not having a heart. If he couldn't feel affection, then he never would've been able to call Dorothy a friend. One couldn't have friends without feeling things for them.... Or maybe that was just her. Heh, it was all very confusing, anyway. She tended to love all her friends, therefore... er, you know...

"Oil can. Oiiiiil caaaan."

Imagine holding up an axe for a whole year, though. His poor arm. But apparently the Tin Man wasn't too sore and what have you, because in the next few moments, he was dancing around and singing (with the help of more oiling, mind you), which had more of her favorite parts! There wasn't any vocalized singing from her this time, but she did grin very widely with the "Wherefore art thou, Romeo?" line... Ah, the dramatic nature of it all. Olivia loved them.... but also, why hadn't she and Roo thought to branch out into Shakespeare yet? That would be something to discuss.

.....AND CUE THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST, AGAIN! Featuring an Incendio! spell.

Lions, and tigers, and bears, OH MY! Lions, and tigers, and bears, OH MY! Lions, and tigers, and bears, OH MY! RAAAAAAAAR!

... and, of course, the Cowardly Lion was trying to fight people right away. Liv could never take him seriously, but it only added to the comedy of his performance. For that reason alone, it was more than acceptable!
