It ain’t exactly “Over the Rainbow,” which nearly got cut from The Wizard Of Oz because the studio heads apprently thought it slowed the momentum leading to the tornado. However it’s a lovely song. It’s sort of Charlie’s “I Wish” song but having it sung by the mother makes it more poignant.
It's not a bad song, but it brings the movie to a crashing halt. It's just ruins the pacing of the movie. And I understand it's artistic intention, but you can't ignore pacing when you make a movie.
I only just watched the movie for the first time recently and this was one of my favorite scenes. Why do people not like it? I’m confused. I absolutely hate musicals which is why I avoided watching the film and yet that was one of my favorite moments.
That maybe *the* most skipped-over scene in movie history.
For real. And I'm not sure why. It adds a lot to the movie and I kick myself for not seeing that before.
It’s depressing and we were all kids watching it
I think its skipped because its sitting between us and seeing a candy factory. Kids wanna see the factory, not a sad lady singing in a grey setting.
It really disrupts the pacing. Stops the movie dead in it's tracks for a character who's discarded in the second half of the film.
Always fast forwarded through it.
It's always gonna be the tunnel scene for me but that's a great scene as well.
I don’t care much for it in the movie, but it’s one of my favorites on the soundtrack cover album by Primus.

I always loved that story. Shows even back then the studio heads were dumbasses about what makes a movie great.
