Personalize Your Bank Checks with The Wizard of Oz
There are few movies that have the fan base and fascination of The Wizard of Oz. Years and years after it was first released to the cinema, people still collect memorabilia from the film and watch it over and over. There are few movies lines quoted as much as “There’s no place like home” or “We’re not in Kansas anymore.” Now, you can even carry personal bank checks with scenes from the famous movie.
Not only does The Wizard of Oz have an endearing plot, but the characters are also memorable. Even the villain, the Wicked Witch, is a classic icon, not to mention the cowardly lion and Toto. Audiences want to root for the main characters to outwit the witch and get what their hearts desire.
The plot is also entertaining enough for adults to like, but simple enough for children to understand. The bright colors and musical numbers are enough to hold children’s attentions, not to mention the fun costumes, but adults can relate to the character’s struggles. Almost everyone can relate to Dorothy wanting to go home and be with her family, as well as her original feelings of wanting to leave home.
The movie itself has been on several “Best Movies of All Time” lists. The theme song, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, was even listed as the Greatest Movie Song of All Time by the American film institute. Some people believe that it is the most watched film in American cinematic history.
Since it might be difficult to choose just one scene and one character from the film to have on your personal checks, many companies offer rotating checks that have more than one image in the box. They can have as many as 8 different images, which takes the pressure off of choosing just one. Even better, each check you write will be different from the one before it. Dorothy one day, the Scarecrow the next.
The Wizard of Oz checks can also be found in duplicate form. The good thing about duplicate checks is that they leave copies of the checks that you write right in your checkbook. This is invaluable when it comes to your record keeping.
Some checks even have messages printed on them, right from the movie itself. You can find such quotes as “Are you a good witch or a bad witch”, “I’m melting, ” and even “Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking.”
Of course, if you really want to show off your love of the movie, you can find matching accessories such as checkbook covers and address labels. Checkbook covers have such images as the yellow brick road and Dorothy’s ruby red slippers. They are generally leather bound.
It has been expensive to order personal checks with unique images in the past. If you went to your local bank, it sometimes took them a long time to arrive and when they did you had to pay a lot of money. Now, thanks to the Internet, this is not the case. By ordering online, you can save as much as 50% on your checks. It also only takes about 5 days for them to arrive.
