When Dorothy begins her journey to the Emerald City we see a Red Brick Road intertwined with the Yellow Brick Road. So what’s the deal with this Red Brick Road?

BEST EXPLANATION: This one is easy. In his series of Oz books, author Frank L. Baum describes the wondrous land as being divided into four regions: Gillikin Country, whose color is purple; Winkie Country, yellow; Munchkin Country, blue; and Quadling Country (home of Glinda the Good Witch), represented by red.

The Red Brick Road is supposed to lead travelers from Quadling Country to the great Emerald City. However, in the movie, the road is shown ending up at…Munchkin City Hall.
