1. Smooth linear narrative, with a very typical narrative structure. The first plot point appears when Dorothy travels through the past and confronts a Western wizard. As the climax of the scene reaches the Emerald City to advance the plot, it has experienced game time and two failures. Come to kill the wizard, debunk the final climax of the doctor, and at the end, complete the mission of the four people and the growth of the protagonist, return to the real world, and give all relationships a happy ending and a perfect logical closed loop. The structure is very rigorous.
2. The real world and the illusory world are distinguished by whether there are colors, and during the two crossings, the combination of reality and illusion is emphasized. For example, the three friends in Dorothy’s dream actually represent Dorothy’s reality Friends of, everyone’s dialogue in reality can match the characteristics of the journey. Dorothy said, "Will there be another world?" and "Nothing is better than home", which also reached a connection. Wisdom, love and courage, as the motif of this film, appear in different forms in the inner and outer worlds, subtly reaching full educational significance.
3. The use of miniatures and special effects are new techniques of Hollywood movies in this period.
