My teacher lied to me...?!


Question: She said The Wizard of Oz (1939) was the first color movie and it's not. So what WAS the first color movie? And why'd she say it was if it wasn't?

I am sure your teacher did not intentionally lie. She was wrong. It happens. There definitely answers out there that say the Wizard of Oz. And there is a lot of conflicting information as well. So maybe that's how she got her false information.
One source says it was a 1908 film called "A Visit To The Seaside" (an 8 minute film).
First full length - 1914 "The World, The Flesh And The Devil.

A 1918 silent film called "Cupid Angling" was the first color movie, although "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone With the Wind" always seem to be mistaken as the correct answer.

IDK but shes a dumb@$$

I always thought it was 'Gone with the Wind', but I guess I was wrong. Ask your teacher why they left an image of a midget hanging in one of the scenes in the Wizard. A midget actually killed himself on the movie. They didn't see it at first, and then it was too late to take it out. Also, how did Pink Floyd make an album that went along with the movie. Dark Side of the Moon?

Color film have been existed since they developed hand tinting - like what the great Georges Melies did in A Trip to the Moon (1902).

Experimentation with color motion picture have begun since the 1906 with the development of Kinemacolor. Example of such movie are The Durbar at Dehli, released in 1912. However since Kinemacolor only uses alternating color of red and green or red and blue (similar to early Technicolor), it only can show limited pallete and it is not in true color.

The first success of color motion picture in term of being able to be produced in a larger number will be from Kalmus' Technicolor which developed the early Technicolor with its imbibition process. The first early Technicolor film is a short called Tolls of the Sea.

However the first true color movie picture would not be produced until 1932 with Disney's short animation film Flowers and Trees. It uses three strip Technicolor which is by far superior to any color processing up to that day. This technique was then first used in live action short La Cucaracha in 1935, and then finally the first color feature Becky Sharp, also in 1935.

Anyway, I would think that your teacher is ignorant. Just state your fact and I hope he'll accept that you're right.

PS. about the midget stated above - it's urban legend. There is no such thing as a midget killing himself in the movie. It was actually an animal moving in the background.

The first color movie was Becky Sharp (1935), but there were some hand-tinted movies from the silent era.

In that case "Cupid Angling " (1918) wins that one
