There are no more Munchkins left.

Oh, that's so sad. The end of an era is gone now. I'll still watch it every year though.

Just in case anyone else was wondering, this chap was a relative youngster at the time of WoOz filming, and so not one of the Munchkin actors alleged to have indulged in a bit of old-style MeToo groping of Miss Garland.

Not alledged, but he wasn't a child.  At 19 it might have crossed his mind.   But even full adults can sometimes behave well in public.  It's the misbehavers we hear about.

That movie is still beautiful to watch and interesting too. It looks better than ever.

You're telling me there are no munchkins left...

My kids ate the whole box... I don't know about "lollipop kid", but I never even had one Boston cream or raspberry jelly... Bummer.
