Jitterbugs

Just thought you might want to know...

Jitterbugs are dancing bugs that were in the original screen play of The Wizard of Oz, but were later taken out. They meet Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man and Lion after they have visited the Wizard of Oz, and he tells them that they need to get the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West, and right before the flying monkeys come swooping down to capture Dorothy. They are important to the story line because their dancing causes Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin man, and Lion to start dancing until they have danced so much, and are so tired, that they fall to the ground in exhaustion, making it very easy for the flying monkeys to scoop Dorothy off of the ground and fly her to the Witch's castle.
