Amazingly, this chestnut is still in circulation despite having been debunked time and time again (by Munchkin confidante Paula Poundstone, among many others). The scene ends with Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man moving down the Yellow Brick Road, singing that they are off to see the Wizard. He currently writes for Snopes.com. The original Witch who Dorothy first encounters is the non-Munchkin Witch known as the Good Witch of the North; named Locasta Tattypoo who is from the neighboring Gillikin Country in Oz. Furthermore, this scene of the movie was filmed before any of the Munchkinland sequences, which means it is unlikely that any of the Munchkin actors would have been present on the set, and even less likely that one would have wound up in the background of a shot.
The Hanging Munchkin is a well known hoax, claiming that in the original prints of the classic film version of The Wizard of Oz, released by MGM in 1939, contains accidental footage of an on set suicide by one of the Munchkins. This urban legend has been circulating for decades, possibly coinciding with the 50th-anniversary video release of the film back in 1989. They also sing and dance to greet a newly arrived Wizard like they one day will with Dorothy Gale. One of the first musical adaptations of Baum's books took place in 1902; it was also dubbed The Wizard of Oz. In the 2013 Walt Disney Oz-prequel film, Oz the Great and Powerful, the Munchkin's appearance is very close, if not identical to the Munchkin people from the 1939 MGM Musical movie. Their appearance is extremely faithful to Baum's Description and John R. Neill's Oz illustrations. Overall, you will notice that everyone on Oz treats Dorothy as an equal adult and not as a child. The short stature of Oz's residents is rarely mentioned in the later sequel books of the Oz series written by Baum, but most illustrations of the grown-ups still appear only as tall as Dorothy and treat her as an adult and respected individual. And later, the Quadlings of the southern quadrant in Oz called Quadling Country are described as "short and fat." In Walt Disney's 1985 cult classic movie Return to Oz, some Munchkins appear in the background crowd of the coronation parade scene in the mirrored Royal Palace of Oz towards the end of the film. Munchkins are a fictional race created by L. Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz legacy.
And as a sincere thank you reward, the Munchkins, and the Good Witch of the North gave Dorothy the Wicked Witch's charmed Silver Shoes, (Ruby Slippers in the 1939 movie.). They are mostly high spirited, and are content with their lives.

Yet, as far as looks went they appeared to be significantly many years older, possibly as old as Dorothy's Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.
The only one who would truly be able to send her back to her homeland was Oz's most dominant ruler known as the great and powerful Wizard who lived as a recluse in Oz's imperial capital aka the Emerald City. They are said to be the shortest tribe in all the land of Oz. Throughout the group's journey in the Munchkin Country, they encountered and esaped the flesh eating wild beast called Kalidahs, met a female mother Stork, fell victim to the field of deadly Poppies and met the Queen of the Field Mice who lived in a grassy meadow at the Munchkin Country's border. But after Dorothy flattened her by the giant Z after crashing through the Oz sign, the curse was broken, they were free from their wall prison, and were able to play again. And later in the book, the Guardian of the Gates, (the first inhabitant of the Emerald City met by Dorothy and apparently representative of its citizens), is "a little man about the same size as the Munchkins.". Munchkins are a fictional race created by L. Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz legacy. It can still be seen to this day (including in YouTube clips, some of which contain helpful blow-ups).
Der Wirbelsturm reißt das gesamte Farmhaus mit sich und mit ihm Dorothy und ihren Hund. April 1951 in den Kinos zu sehen. One girl munchkin appears skeptical there could be children smaller than them. Nick Chopper, aka the Tin Woodman, was a Munchkin himself, or was at least born in Munchkin Country, as he confirms in Chapter 15 of The Tin Woodman of Oz when he states that he was born in the forests of Munchkin Country which the Yellow Brick Road passes through. According to an urban legend, if you watch the film closely you'll see a scene in which a Munchkin commits suicide by hanging himself. The legend holds that, unbeknownst to the film's director, cast, and crew, one of the actors who played a Munchkin in the film committed suicide by hanging himself while the camera was rolling, and that for some reason the shot was never edited out. If you read an original copy of the 1900 book, you'll notice W. W. Denslow's illustrations of the characters (which were approved by Baum), Dorothy, who's no older than twelve, is about the same height as most of the adults in Oz. The legend holds that, unbeknownst to the film's director, cast, and crew, one of the actors who played a Munchkin in the film committed suicide by hanging himself while the camera was rolling, and that for some reason the shot was never edited out.
However, one day, a little girl by the name of Dorothy Gale unexpectedly came to Oz accompanied by her little dog Toto.
