The Wizard of Oz — Book vs Film

Many people remember Dorothy’s slippers as always being ruby red across all versions of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its adaptations. In reality, the slippers were silver in the original book and changed to ruby red for The Wizard of Oz to better showcase Technicolor. The blending of the book and film versions created a common Wizard of Oz Mandela Effect.
