wizard of oz: worldview

Unfortunately i own the movie, Wizard of Oz, but probally only have seen it once cuz it is my very very least favorite movie in the universe. After watching it once i had repetetive nightmeres of it and remember waking up running to my parent's room because the wicked song, "LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS OH NOOO" was playing in my mind over and over.
so i really don't remember much of the movie at all except when they all sing that lil song that gave me many sick nightmeres.
anyways, after having much discussion about this movie i've basically concluded that instead of being christianity, cosmic humanism, or any other world view i think its postmodernism because of the following:
Dorthy thinks she can dissapear from reality by clacking her shoes.
They people feel like they need a powerful god so they choose the wizard but they'd be able to survive fine without him.
She has to make a choice between the yellow or red brick road and she chooses yellow which makes it okay just as if she chose the red too
