That is until you click on the ruby slippers, appearing next to the movie’s name.

Judy Garland starred as Dorothy Gale, the girl from Kansas who had dreams of going “somewhere over the rainbow.” She and her dog Toto made an enemy — the Wicked Witch of the West — after her dreams came true and sent her to a magical world through a tornado.
But she also got to snag a pair of sparkly ruby slippers (which, by the way, they were stolen in real life but found 13 years later).
“The Wizard of Oz” was the winner of Academy Awards for the classic song, “Over The Rainbow” and for best score.
