Ask AI: What year was it when the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz was changed from him not having a gun to having a gun in the scenes

In the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz," the Scarecrow is seen holding a gun during the scene where the group is entering the woods to find and defeat the Wicked Witch. This detail wasn't a change made in later years; it was part of the original film. The inclusion of the gun is often noted as an oddity, as it doesn't seem to align with the Scarecrow's character. However, it was part of the film when it was first released.

Contrary to popular belief, the Scarecrow in the original 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" does carry a gun in a few scenes. One is when the main characters are about to enter the forest saying, "Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!" The gun seems to have been overlooked by many viewers, but no official changes were ever made regarding giving the Scarecrow a gun in later years. There are many theories and misinterpretations circulating on the internet due to what is known as the "Mandela Effect."
