Needs Help: And You Were There

After I found an HD version of the Wizard of Oz clip this trope's name comes from, I thought I could take a screenshot of it and compare it with a picture from Oz, but the clip has a bug in the lower left-hand corner. Would anyone else like to make such a comparison?

I also want to add that I don't know which Oz-themed picture would work against that specific clip.

Could you post a link to the clip or one like it, so that we know what the image may look like? Having a bug in the corner is fine, though of course it's preferable not to. If possible, could you get the actual screenshot so we're not just discussing a hypotheical image? Thanks!

That's a good-quality clip, and the scene is definitely an example, but I'm doubtful that it would make a good image. A still, silent, uncaptioned moment would just be Dorothy lying in bed pointing at some men near her. Whilst many people might recognise that it was the Wizard of Oz, and know what she was saying, it wouldn't work for those who didn't. Could we put her words in a caption? Yes, but it would be JAFAAC and the image wouldn't add anything; I could get a stock photo of someone pointing at someone and give it the same caption, with the only difference being that it wouldn't be an example. Images are meant to illustrate the trope/provide a visual aid in understanding it/be amusing, but I'm afraid this one wouldn't do that despite being an example.

...which is why I suggested comparing it with a picture of Dorothy in Oz, with her friends and the Wizard alongside her.

Okay, missed that. Sorry, my bad! I see how that would work now, so I'm trying to find a shot with at least the four of them together to put with it. This clip looks promising, so I hope to upload a couple screenshots shortly.

Edit: Okay, is this the kind of thing you were thinking of? My concern now is if it's clear the Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin Man are the same people — then again, if this image was used on that page then context would imply it.

I can see the similarities if I look closely.

It's subtle, but I think people will get it.

It's still hard to tell, and it would require a caption for clarification. It's better than no image, though.

I added the picture. Does anyone think we need a better caption?

I'm good with it.

Hearing nothing else, let's lock up and move on.
