** The destruction of China Town is even creepier when you take in mind the theory that the 1939 movie was a metaphor for World War 2, with Dorothy as a reluctant America and the Wicked Witch as Hitler. Add in the shadows of the flying baboons cast on the devestated town, and it looks a lot like a bombed-out city from that period.

*** This actually makes perfect canon sense, in the movie the China Country is just a regular village, in the original book it was hidden inside a massive china bowl you could only enter by climbing a ladder. Seems like Glinda gave extra precautions to help avoid another tragedy.
