Strictly speaking, none of The Wizard Of Oz is in black-and-white: the beginning and end scenes are sepia toned.
As it's over 90 years old but has timeless themes of family, belonging, friendship, and overcoming adversity, there's no reason why it couldn't be remade
Although Victor Fleming's version was a technical masterpiece, a landmark in cinematic techniques, some sequences are a little slow and the costumes and visual effects look their age. With a good cast, inspired direction, and a decent budget, any remake could easily become a family favourite.
