Above...an Oriental Munchkin, I aasume?
The origianl Munchkins first appeared in Frank Baum's Oz stories from about 1900.
In the film ((1939..is was originally intended to be black and white, but shortly after production started, colour had been perfe3cted and the film was, apart from the initial opening, made in colour))...the Munchins were played by adult proportional dwarfs.
It was the first occasion that so many dwarfs had been together and with generous pay and free-flowing booze, there were many episodes of drunkeness and sex scandals. At times, the dwarfs ended up in drunken riots on the film set and often dance routines couldn't be filmed owing to intoxiacation and injuries. At times the cops were brought in to settle things down. On several occasions was almost abandoned because of such behaviour.
But I'm sure that the Brigg Munchkins are sensible, milk drinking and well0behaved little toddlers.
