In Georgia, The Wizard of Oz has been more than just a film - it’s a cultural phenomenon. The film has inspired numerous adaptations, including stage productions, musicals, and even a Georgian-language animated series.
The Wizard of Oz, a classic American musical fantasy film, has been a beloved favorite among audiences for generations. The 1939 film, directed by Victor Fleming and starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale, has become an iconic representation of American culture. However, few people know that this timeless tale has been translated and adapted into various languages and cultures, including the Georgian language, known as “Qartulad”.
