Munchklinland is a turning point for Dorothy as well as all the Munchkins of Munchkinland. Dorothy has finally gone over the rainbow, she is excited to get away from Kansas where the evil Miss Gulch is searching for Toto. Not only has Dorothy escaped, she has also become a hero to the Munchkins! Glinda approaches Dorothy, inquiring what kind of witch she is and that is when Dorothy discovers that good witches are beautiful and bad witches are ugly. Shortly after their conversation, Glinda encourages the munchkins to come out of hiding to meet their hero who accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of the East. They welcome Dorothy to Munchkinland with a cute song!
Why is this song so important to the plot of the show? It is important for two reasons. First of all, the song displays how valuable it is for the munchkins to be rid of the Wicket Witch of the East. The witch was constantly terrorizing the munchkins and they were at their wits end. Therefore, the fact that Dorothy's house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East is extremely essential to the munchkin's further survival in Munchkinland. Secondly, this song encourages Dorothy to make her way down the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Oz. If the munchkin's had not supported Dorothy in her journey to see the Wizard she may have never traveled down the yellow brick road where she would never have met the Scarecrow, Tinman, or the Lion.
