My kid is 8 currently and saw the version with the slippers out. Not sure if in color or BW.
She brought this up in primary day school when the teacher read the whole book aloud in 2nd grade.

Yes I remember that ending
I doubt they had the technology to have red slippers in a b/w scene at the time. Everyone must be remembering one of the many spin offs or cartoon versions.

I hate what Spielberg did adding 20 minutes of PC police poor evil doctor scenes to the newly released ET.

They were silver shoes in the book. The ruby color was to show off the wonders of technicolor film.
The book also doesn't have the "was Oz just a dream?" angle at all. It's unambiguously a real place.
This is it. The ending of the movie is different than the ending of the book. And not every rendition of the book sticks with the movie ending.
You and your sisters probably all saw a cartoon or television show that showed the ruby slippers after she got back to Kansas and said that Oz was real.

This link is not definitive proof PP. It's opinion.
How do you prove something that never happened?
The onus proof is not on any one of us. Most movies have scenes and sometimes single shots that get cut out / lost / forgotten. It doesn't mean they never existed.
You really think after 70 years if there had been an alternate ending, that the general public saw, that was cut out of the movie, there wouldn’t be proof of it? And all of the attention the movie gets during its milestone anniversaries, no one mentioned this alternate ending?
Yes,I think that's very possible. I used to work at the BBC where shows for many years were wiped and destroyed, before someone realized they need to create an archive.
The cast or production had years to speak about it. There’s zero chance that there wouldn’t be definitive proof of this alternate ending. But conspiracy therorists are going to conspiracy theory.

The is OP and OH.MY.GOD. Thank you SO much!!!! Although my sisters and I are freaking out about how we all ...MADE THIS UP???? WTF? That's crazy that we and plenty of others, apparently, have had this false memory.
SO. WEIRD!
It’s okay, OP. My sister and I collectively hallucinated the same extra scene to the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was so weird to go back and read it as adults and be like “but there was… another scene there… I remember it?! So does my sister?!”

Watch the movie-- see for yourself.
There is a scene in which there is a blooper wearing different shoes briefly in the apple throwing scene where the shoes appear to be black with shoelaces. According to Snopes, this is true:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/wizard-of-oz-ruby-slippers-blooper/
The movie does not show the alternate ending that OP is asking about. Nor does a blooper prove that there was an alternate ending. You know there were a lot of bloopers, right?
It’s not supposed to. It’s interesting that’s all. Sheesh!
Did you read the thread you were responding to?
