Right away he figures out how to get off the pole he was hung upon. In the movie, there is at least some evidence that the 3 characters already had what they sought. Thus in the book, when the Wizard gives them the tokens, they are not changed, because they already had the very characteristics they sought! The ending of the book thus makes much more sense than that of the film. As the story unfolds, the scarecrow thinks of clever solutions to their problems, the lion is quick to leap to their defense in the face of danger, and the woodsman explains that because he has no heart, he is careful to make a conscious effort to be kind and not hurt anyone. In the book, however, the scarecrow only _thinks_ he is unintelligent, the lion only _thinks_ he is cowardly, and the tin woodsman only _thinks_ that he needs a heart.
In the movie, the scarecrow really is unintelligent, and the lion really is cowardly, etc., until the Wizard gives them tokens that would ordinarily not be expected to change them. In the "Differences from the book" section, I think mention should be made of a much more significant difference than those currently listed. Mirkin (how would you like to go through life with that name?) also thinks he understands the closing song for WKRP in Cincinnati? Wahkeenah 12:07, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
There is no shortage of folks willing to read something into something that isn't there. This reading is the only suggestion I've ever heard that sounds phonetically correct. Personally, I could never hear "we owe HER" but rather "we OOO-OWE". The most interesting suggestion I've heard is from David Mirkin, Executive Producer for the Simpsons who claims that he understands the lyrics to be "All we own, we owe" which would make the lyric a comment on the depression and the debt so many Americans were plunged into at the time. Bluejay Young 20:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC) However, the correct version, seen in the film's screenplay, is "O-Ee-Yah! Eoh-Ah!" and any other interpretations are simply the result of the listener's mind treating the chant as an audio ink blot." There you have it, and there it is. I was giggling and had tears in my eyes at the same time.) - Bluejay Young 23:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC) I got this off the IMDB trivia page: "There are many alleged lyrics to the "Winkie Chant" performed by the Witch's guards, including "All we own, we owe her", "Oh we love the old one", and "Oh we loathe the old one". Directorial manipulation of our heartstrings, and it got me but good. Then the Southrons came in from exactly the same angle as the Witch's guards with their very similar chant. I always heard it as "O-ri-oh, eeoohh-ah", and my college friends used to sing it "Oreo - cookie!" (Totally off the subject: When Frodo, Sam and Gollum were shown in The Two Towers looking over the cliffs toward the Black Gate, I about fell off my seat, more to the point as it is not that way in the book. BethEnd 13:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Officially it's "O-ee-ya, eeohh-ah!" and is meant as kind of a "yo heave ho" soldiers' chant. I've always heard the line as "all we are, we owe her", instead of "own". I agree that there should be a plot and trivia section as well. One thing that wasnt included was the "All we own, we owe her" bit that is used often in pop culture (simpsons, metallica, prince etc). 76 Has footage of Buddy Ebsen been released or not?. 75 Dorothy's dog "Otto"?
