While I am a firm believer in nothing is just a councidence, I don't think that it was intentional. However, this does not mean that there is not something to be found when the two are merged.
I think there is also a merge with Alice and Wonderland, not sure what album.
I still havent done it but next time I watch it,i am gonna try it!!!!

Pink Floyd band members have repeatedly said that the reputed phenomenon is coincidence. In an interview for the 25th anniversary of the album, guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour denied the album was intentionally written to be synchronized with the film, saying "Some guy with too much time on his hands had this idea of combining Wizard of Oz with Dark Side of the Moon."
If you watch the DVD "The Making of the Dark Side of the Moon" it obviously IS just a coincidence. Studio engineer Alan Parsons worked very hard to make a great album with no hanky-panky needed or intended.
This has been around for decades and while I have watched this sync several times, I don't think it is anything but another urban myth foisted on the ever-gullible public.
TCM actually has broadcast the movie with DSotM in the past...'The Dark Side of Oz.
how to:
*On the third roar of the MGM lion, unpause your CD. (You may want to turn down your TV volume.)
*Double check that you're in synch by listening for the transition from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe" as the producer credit (Mervyn LeRoy) fades in onscreen.
partial list of coincdental syncs...
The lyric "balanced on the perfect wave" occurs just as Dorothy is balancing on the pigsty fence.
"...balanced on the biggest wave" as Dorothy balances on the fence, which leads into "On The Run" as she falls off the fence.
Chimes and bells sound just as Elvira Gulch appears on her bicycle.
During the "Time" guitar solo the fortune teller sign appears, reading "past, present & future."
The fortune teller tells Dorothy that she needs to go home as the lyrics play, "home, home again. I'd like to be there when I can".
"The Great Gig in the Sky" begins with the scene change to the tornado.
The tornado is seen in the background just as the words "and I'm not frightened of dying" is heard.
When the window sash knocks Dorothy out, the wailing vocal subsides.
"Great Gig in the Sky" is playing as the house is airborne.
The cash register in "Money" is heard just as the color of Oz is seen.
The ballerina Munchkins enter on the lyric "us..us..us".
One ballerina appears to lip sync the words "ordinary men"
The Lollypop Guild Munchkins enter on the lyric "me..me..me".
The Lollypop Guild's head motions synch with the music.
Dorothy turns to face forward on the lyric "forward he cried."
The Witch's appearance occurs on the lyric "black..black.."
On "blue..blue..blue.." we cut to Dorothy, who of course is wearing blue.
On the words "and who knows which is which and who is who", we see the Wicked Witch of the West looking at the dead feet of the Wicked Witch of the East.
For "up..up..up", the Witch is on top of a ramp; on "down..down.. down..", she is walking down.
"And in the end", the dead Witch disappears.
"Out..out..out", Good Witch Glynda exits in a bubble.
The song "Brain Damage" is played as the scarecrow sings "If I Only Had a Brain."
The heartbeat heard at the end of the album coincides with Dorothy listening to the Tin Man's heart.
Snopes already de-bunked this. It's just a coincidence that a few items look like they kinda-sorta match.
And just a reminder... remember what happened to Syd Barrett. Don't "experiment" excessively.
