Six years before the live action "Wizard of Oz", an animated version was produced in Canada. We have no information on voice actors, and we all know the story.....!
Plus: An INA Insurance toonfomercial adapting Rapunzel from 1963, narrated by Edward Everett Horton in the style of Jay Ward's Fractured Fairy Tales:
Adapting a literary classic into an 8-9 minute cartoon is hard, and this was treated like standard short subject fare of its day.
The INA ad boasted animation vets like Irv Spector, and it appears to have been done by Ed Graham's studio.
"The Wizard of Oz" gets a B.
