![The Wizard of Oz (1939) Classic Movie Reaction [First Time Watching]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TCBzUj4tfj8/mqdefault.jpg)
Ok so Theodora’s tears hurt because in the wizard of Oz the wicked witch is weak to water and since she has fire powers, it only makes sense that any water hurts her.
It really doesn't make sense that she has water in her then lol
@@SirKolassthe water effects her externally not internally 😂
I also believe that Evanora will need a source of magic since hers was destroyed and therefore Theodora will make her the ruby slippers. Which is why she wanted them back from Dorothy
All the continuities of these many different Oz properties (the musical, the books, the films) are all separate. They just take/borrow elements from each other for their own takes on the source material.
She is Green with Envy. And those are basic magic tricks that can be taught in 30 minutes (The ones at the beginning)
Those are really basic Magic Show Tricks that anybody can learn and apply with a little bit of Sleight-of-Hands .
@Rachel
to broaden your horizon (and not beleive in magic so easily ) I'd suggest that you check out James Randi . He has been Debunking magic & Psychic Frauds for 50+ Years !
THIS MOVIE NEEDS TO BE REMASTERED AND OR SHOULD GET A SEQUEL
It’s a prequel
@@alfredortega6563 Prequels get sequels as well. There’s many years between this and when Dorothy is actually born.
Absolutely agree… too bad Franco’s going to be blackballed for awhile.
The sequel is the wizard of oz🤣
It has a sequel. It's called The Wizard of Oz lmao.
When you said why wasnt the wicked witch of the east wearing the ruby slippers I was also wondering that too but then I remembered that Wizard of Oz originally had silver slippers because that was a detail in the book that I remembered and when you see the wicked witch of the East flying off being carried away by her flying monkeys you get a glimpse of like a silvery shiny thing at the Witches feet, or what I thought so, so I’m assuming they went the silver slippers route for that little detail
I know this is from a year ago but...my theory was that Evanora's power came from the emerald that was destroyed....Theodora wore a ruby ring and maybe she made the slippers from that source to give her sister powers again. So of course she wants the slippers back after Evanora was killed. Maybe they would have explored that if there had been sequels leading up to The Wizard of Oz.
Since this film made by Disney couldn't use the rights to the 1939 musical wizard of oz they couldnt use the ruby slippers or even the wicked witch of the west shade of green
So the only reason this film was made is based off many of the original children novels because they are in the public domain while the 1939 wizard of oz is still copyrighted
20:20 it was a puppet! so James Franco could physically interact with her and then was replaced by a completely CGI character, Joey king just voiced it, joey king was on set, so James Franco could also hear her character's voice
Btw, Sam Raimi also directed Darkman and Drag me to hell which are really fun and CAMPY AF so...you should watch them if you haven't watched them yet :D
definitely two films that i’m planning on watching in the future!
Fun fact. In the book “ The Wizard of Oz “ Dorothy passes a China country on her way to Glinda . Baum however wasn’t good in continuity so they was only mentioned in one book.
I love the implication of the china people, where each chip or crack they got becomes a part of who they are for life.
22:46 quick note because I noticed you were confused a bit on why the details weren’t aligning with Wicked the musical: this movie had no direct relation to Wicked other than that it was also inspired by The Wizard of Oz. Wicked has no relation to Walt Disney Studios, so the details from Wicked are not included in the full timeline of the land of Oz.
Not to mention both stories contradict the original source material. Oz gets it a little closer… it’s just so hard to watch because the acting is so cheesy.
@@silasreade Well, yeah… the thing is, instead of the Wicked Witch of the West being the main villain, the Wicked Witch of the East became the main villain and the Wicked Witch of the West ended up being a villain because of taking one bite of the apple that made her turn wicked and green.
Its not a bad movie at all. I quite enjoyed it when I first watched it. That was one very detailed review though. Loved it! Keep them coming :)
thank you so much!! :D
Point of interest - This film was originally released in theaters in 3-D, and is one of a very few movies I would recommend seeing in 3-D, if possible...
i believe i saw it in 3-D when it originally came out actually! can’t remember 100%, but i know i saw it within like the first week of it being in theaters, so there’s a pretty good chance i saw it in 3-D
@@rachelremeny If you decide to watch this movie again, try to visualize it in 3-D... 3-D is most effective when used for depth (i.e. Avatar), but in this movie, the illusion of things extending off the screen (especially near the beginning, with the reduced aspect ratio, where elements may briefly extend off to the sides) is used particularly well... If memory serves, there was an animated short that accompanied this film... A Micky Mouse cartoon called 'Get a Horse' that also played well in 3-D...
As to why no one talks about it... My guess would be that there wasn't money to be made via franchising (as it was a stand-alone movie, and a prequel to a movie made by another studio decades prior), or marketing... An enjoyable film, yes, but sadly not the stuff of action figures, or Happy Meals... :-(
@@daveweston5158 yeah i can imagine! i can already picture the magical creatures james franco encounters when first in oz looking so cool in 3-D. and makes sense! super disappointing considering how decent of a family movie it is, and how well made it is. maybe whenever the wicked movie finally comes out people will start going back and watching this oz prequel!
TWWW didn’t have a name in The Wizard of Oz… Elphaba was a name that Greg McGuire gave her.
Ironically, it’s an acronym for EFB - L. Frank Baum, the original author who, similarly is alleged to have gotten the name Oz from an acronym on his filing cabinet labeled O-Z.
I'm sure someone noticed if anyone watched the full movie that Annie aka the Kansas version of Glinda is Dorothy's mom since John Gale asked her to marry him
i didn’t even notice who had asked her to marry, but i had a feeling she was related to dorothy!! that’s so cool!
@@rachelremeny yeah it is, I wish a young Mrs. Gulch aka Theodora and maybe a Kansas version of Evanora appeared since almost everyone in Oz is someone Oscar knew, only looks different , same thing happened with Dorothy in the original movie, I still have hopes for a sequel
@@andreyleary4736 same! it was odd that theodora & evanora weren’t in kansas at the beginning
@@andreyleary4736 Miss Gulch was a spinster.
when Glinda said because of Goodness, that got me
It's funny Theodora and Evanora was wearing the opposite colors that represented their characters. in this movie Theodora was mostly wearing combined Red, black and white outfits before her transformation, those colors referenced what Evanora was wearing when she got crushed by Dorothy's house in the original film , red for the ruby slippers, black and white for her striped stockings. In this movie Evanora was wearing green and black dresses , and those colors clearly represent Theodora's green skin and black dress and hat.
exactly! that’s why i initially thought evanora was the wicked witch of the west since she was decked out in the green attire
@@rachelremeny I think they wanted everyone to think Evanora was the wicked witch of the west , until the part Theodora cries , I knew she wasn't, since I saw a trailer with Evanora and the faceless wicked witch of the west in the same scene with the fireworks. if a sequel does happen I want a Theodora vs Glinda scene and a tease of the magic slippers, I assume they would be silver instead of ruby, and maybe make Theodora's wicked witch outfit less revealing on the top area
I think that they did this intentionally to confuse the watcher(here we go) Which, Witch is Which?
@@bretwood2106 I knew Theodora was the wicked witch of the west, it was so obvious to me
@@andreyleary4736 I think Theodora's costume design was so that all three of the witches had their own unique style. If a sequel were to happen I think they also need to introduce the witch of the North as she's always the one to be forgotten, but she's also crucial in Dorothy's story as she is the one that sends her to the emerald city. Not glinda. Glinda only appears at the end in the emerald city to tell Dorothy how to work the slippers.
i think it was ok at first but it's underrated movie for the adults and we all kids liked the show very much and that's the truth Rachel Remeny
This film is so different just because Disney has never been able to get the rights to the original Wizard Of Oz film. So the characters look completely different from the original movie. That's also why the Witch of the East doesn't have the Ruby Slippers. The wicked witch of the west looks so different as well because Disney didn't and still doesn't have the rights to the wizard of oz.
makes sense!
@@rachelremeny even the names of the characters are copyrighted so no Elphaba or other characters. Except for Glinda
@@darthsidious47 do you happen to know why they were still able to use the name Glinda? was her copyright situation different than the other characters’ names?
@@rachelremeny I'm not even sure why they could use Glinda as a name, however they changed what witch she was from. In the 1939 film she said she was the witch of the North right. In Oz the Great and Powerful she says she is the witch of the South.
@@darthsidious47that’s because Glinda IS the Witch of the South. 1939 Glinda is an amalgamation of both the Witches of the North and the South.
im taking a wild guess but i would say this is probably 30 to 40 years before the wizard of oz. i've read wicked. the two have nothing whatsoever in common. wicked is really dark and its more of an alternate universe oz . i quite enjoyed this movie
ooo yeah that timeframe sounds about right! i wanna read the book so badly, but i didn’t know that wicked was more of an alternate universe, that’s so interesting!
@@rachelremeny when you do read wicked i hope that you will make a video discussing your thoughts on it. great reaction video!
@@justme4998 i totally will! thank you so much!!
Gregory McGuire made up the name Elphaba based on the phonetic pronunciation of L. Frank Baum's initials. Also Nessarose is her sister's name in Wicked. And the wizard is Elphaba's father in the musical and maybe in the book. (I've only read it once a while back. )
ohhhh that makes sense! so yeah McGuire wrote his story way different than how it’s portrayed in the films, good to know! i definitely need to fully listen to wicked and read the book, thank you for sharing!
@@rachelremeny the musical is actually pretty different from the book but they're both good.
That twisted parody makes me ill.
Loved this video! This movie was one of my favorite childhood movies, so it was disappointing to see it sort of fade into obscurity. Also, just subscribed to you!
thank you so much!!! 😊
I saw this movie in theaters. So happy that I did. The colors and motion during the film made this a great OZ experience. Being an avid wizard of Oz reader this movie is my favorite interpretation of the world of Oz. Highly recommend. Wishing we had more pure authentic representation of Oz.
Legitimate things, from the series that is in this film. The Wizard is from Kansas and arrived in a balloon. (He was not a magician at the carnival, he was a balloon operator.) Glinda is indeed the Good witch of the south and Queen of the Quadlings( in the book they all wear red, and are short with long extending necks.) and the most powerful witch/sorceress in OZ. Other than that, Disney has made the story up from their own plot. the porcelain city-when Dorthy and her comrades go to see Ginda in the south kingdom they travel through a miniature city made of Porcelain,(when these citizens leave their city they turn inanimate.)
What isn't aligned with Oz by Baum: 1. Glinda and the Wizard are not lovers. (Glinda is questing to find the lost princess of Oz whose fathers kingdom was taken by the wizard, and wishes to restore her to the throne of the emerald city. 2. The flying monkies can only be summoned three times by the wearer of the Golden cap and its incantation. They are not the Winkies (Yellow Clothing wearing skilled craftsman and salves to the wicked witch of the west) nor citizens of the Wicked Witch of the Wests territory.
This movie compared to the Broadway show Wicked: Both shows alter and take creative license with the concept of the four witches in the kingdoms of Oz, and challenge the viewers perception of the witches.
FUN FACT: Elphaba is the name of the "Wicked Witch of the West" in the broadway show wicked. She is not titled by this in any other Oz universes. Her name was inspired by the author of the book Series. L. FrAnk BAUm.
19:00
That's a Horse of a Different Color!
A popular phrase that meant:
That is a different matter entirely!
You totally should react to Return to Oz!
the movies, the Wizard of Oz, Return to Oz, and Oz the Great and Powerful are based on L. Frank Baum's original book series, which was multiple books. i haven't read them but they are the base material for everything
You should read them
Very very underrated
I was nine years old when I first saw this movie. We rented it from the library and I liked it so much that my parents bought the dvd.
You're right,Glinda's persona in the black and white part was Dorothy's aunt.
ahhh i knew it!!
Actually, wasn't she Dorothy's mom? Dorothy's aunt is named "Em" as in "Auntie Em"
@@Spidercat616 oh true, i totally forgot about that!
@@Spidercat616 That's literally her name
@@Spidercat616 That's young em's name!If that really was her mom then how come in the Wizard of Oz, aunty em and oscar are elderly like the same age
I completely agree with you about the look of Oz in this film I love it it’s so beautiful and vibrant I saw this film at the cinema and loved it. Great film.
Wonderful movie good characters wonderful color glad you chose it because l hadn’t seen it- you have good taste and the cat at the end is darling
thank you!!
Elphaba was only the witches name in “wicked” - in the books the wicked witch of the west is named Gulcharia or something like that.
In this they named the witches differently too
Elphaba is a link to the writer L FRank BAum
Totally missed this movie...I will now check it out! Thanks!!
yay! of course!
You should check out "The 10th Kingdom" it's a TV Mini Series about a World based on Fairytales if they were all continued in their own World.
oh my god that sounds INCREDIBLE i’ll definitely look into it!!
The trick for the eyebrow is a drag-originated trick they take a glue stick put about 4 layers on the eyebrow they take a eyebrow comb and push them up and powder them then they put foundation over it and it covers the natural brow
Came here after watching the Wicked teaser trailer!
Definitely check out Return To Oz from 1985 if you get a chance. It was based on Baum's 2nd and 3rd Oz books, and it's a fascinatingly weird movie.
Oz the Great & Powerful, The Wizard of Oz, and Return to Oz sort of form a strange unofficial trilogy.
i’ve seen, and enjoyed, return to oz! such a weird and slightly creepy movie!
Slightly? :)
your the ONLY one who has reviewed/reacted to this on youtube. COOOL
15:57 "My favorite genre is high fantasy"
Me: Subbed.
Ive been in several tornado, the sky goes yellow then green, because its sucking up grass dirt and debris, then its the sound of a train engine roaring
ohhh i always wondered why exactly the sky turns a different color, that makes sense! that’s so scary!!
I subscribed today
@@willparks3429 thank you so much!!
I really think that this is one of my all time favorite movies especially bc I can relate to literally all of the characters James Franco is amazing in every way he trully envisions the wizard of Oz but honestly imo his character is so relateable to me in every way and in every shape and form
The China girl scene always gets me
I think those horses are a homage to the colour changing horse from The Wizard of Oz movie!! Also i would absolutely love a fully realised movie franchise or tv show based around the origins of oz and the wizard and witches etc eventually bringing in Dorothy or not!
Ophelia looks so sweet lol. Was getting her beauty sleep lol. So cute lol. She's up in a good spot lol. Yayyyyy!
she loves to sleep up there while i film! 😁
They said that this movie was getting a sequel but it hasn’t been made yet :(
Sin you made a good point of crying I could imagine is they sweating from wearing a dress all the time like you never see a witch without there dress on
I went to the cinema with my mum to see this film and we both loved it. It's hard to believe that this is the same guy who did the Evil Dead films and the original Spider-Man trilogy, and who is about to release Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Sam Raimi has a unique, interesting style.
8:25 during this scene Annie mentions uncle Henry (Dorothy’s uncle) so Annie could most likely be Aunt em. It’s a cool fact and interesting how she met the “wizard” of oz before Dorothy met him
If you look it up on Wikipedia it says Annie is actually Dorothys mom
I also find tornados disturbing and unsettling. While they do wreck havoc, like other natural disasters, the particular form a tornado takes, which is very identifiable, unlike most natural disasters, further makes it eery, yet somewhat mesmorising, like a flame. Which is why the poster of the 1996 disaster film, Twister, still creeps me out. The film itself, not so much.
So far I’ve noticed anyone who doesn’t like this film has not seen wizard of oz but anyone who has seen it, likes this film
Looking at you i just said out loud "Dorothy?!" 😂😂
It wasn’t until watching your reaction that I realised it was joey king - I have watched this movie so many times I’m stupid
Why are so many reactors cat people? Like, a lot of you have adorable kitties.
3:40 If you haven’t seen them yet, Rachel Weisz is excellent in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. Also, her last name is pronounced “Vice”.
11:00 I live in Illinois, so tornadoes are my most feared natural disasters too.
13:30 There’s a TV show called Pushing Daisies that has a similar look. The concept is WILDLY different, but the environments look a lot like Oz in this movie.
19:05 They’re probably ancestors of the horse that changed colors from the original 1939 movie.
29:55 A pun has not completely matured until it is full groan.
33:40 It is a very good movie, but it’s not part of the same canon as Wicked and I think that did, as you said, piss a lot of people off. So people who are fans of Wicked hate this movie. I’ve never seen Wicked (though I do know Defying Gravity from Glee), so I don’t have anything to compare this to.
36:50 She is so adorable.
I remembered when this came out lol. And u thought it looked so good. Good cast. Couldn't wait to see it cause I like wizard of oz. Don't love it but I like the story and characters AND the world of oz. Obviously when they making sequels or prequels that obviously confirms that oz is a real place not a dream. They originally had a trilogy planned but I don't think this one did that great but I really liked this. This looked so good. Love how they kept the black and white then color like original did. We already know what's going to happen but I still like how the characters in real world then when he goes to oz the characters there are so!liar if nor same and especially the same actors. Yeah its always Bern black and white. Yeah that's joey king lol. I haven't read the wicked book or the oz books but I'm looking them up on RUclips to find out more about them. I wonder what the other movies would have Bern about. This one clears up most of everything from original except maybe the slippers don't never see her wearing them lol. I liked that too. We didn't get to see her in original except her feet this one Rachel did great I thought. James did great as the wizard. Mila did awesome as wicked witch. It sucks when she becomes wicked. I'm like don't listen to her. All this would have been cleared up by communication but she believes her eats apple that's messed up but she looks cool as witch. Still almost attractive still but that's Mila I think and they showing more skin in costume in this one than original lol. But the laughing and fireballs looked so cool. I just researched this last night and was like this is awesome. Throughout it I was comparing the land of oz to the island on lost. Like hoe you get there involves a storm or you have to crash there. Both has lots of plants so beautiful compared to real world lol. There's so many beautiful movies like avatar and ones you mentioned but .Maybe it takes a lot of money to make these and if they don't make enough back like this one. I don't know how much they made back but obviously wasn't enough cause they had a trilogy planned but that got cancelled. So sad kinda wished got to see what happens next but I'm wondering what else would have happened . Everyone did awesome on this lol
There’s actually an 80s sequel called “Return to Oz” that also NOONE talks about and it’s much darker than the wizard of oz and this one which is about 20 years prior
I think the woman in the beginning who looks like Glinda is meant to be Dorothy’s mother
This movie was shot and and was cinematography shot maximizing 3-d effects. I have a 3-d tv and still watch it that way.
Elphaba was created for wicked. It’s not the wicked witch of the west original name. Gregory McGuire who wrote wicked created Elphaba’s name from the original author of the wizard of oz books from the early 1900s L. Frank Baum. El Fa Ba. And how do you not remember that mila plays the wicked witch of the west lol
The Wicked book is amazing, so much more depth than the musical
Okay, here are some movies you should totally react to (if you haven't seen them yet already)
The Neverending Story (great 80s fantasy movie)
Christopher Robin (the new live action Disney film - prepare to cry)
A Series of Unfortunate Events (really great set design)
The Princess Bride (since you like Shrek)
Labyrinth (another great 80s fantasy movie)
Knives Out (amazing cast. Fun story!)
Kung Fu Hustle (don't know if you're into foreign films, but this one is bizarrely funny)
i’ve actually seen all of these except for Kung Fu Hustle! such great films!!
@@rachelremeny If anime is possible I would recommend Paprika and Your Name.
9:05
Wouldn't something being heavier make it EASIER to pull towards the ground? I mean- those guys have gravity working with them, not against them.
VERY true point hahaha didn’t even think of it that way
Yeah- it's kind of a double edged sword. On one hand, being heavier would have gravity pull him towards them. On the other hand- something light would make it easy for them to pull.
@@MrParkerman6 exactly!
Also they used BLUE screen for the backgrounds, not green like you said. Why do people born in the 2000s always as a default assume everything was always green screen? The original name is Blue Screen. Green Screen wasn't used for DECADES until after blue. The first major movie production to use green was the phantom Menace. Whenever someone says a movie in the mid 90s or earlier was green screened it is a huge giveaway they weren't around. I know this isn't a 90s movie, but just letting you know if you react to a movie from the early 90s or earlier you should say blue screen, not green or it will make you sound ignorant of what you are talking about. I know it is a minor nitpick, bit it really gets on my nerves when people refer to early 90s or older as having green screen when they didn't. It was all blue. Blue gets no love these days!
Trust me, a hurricane is not just a wall of water. It's more of a wet water based tornado headed your way with twice the deviation force.
This movie is not based on the book Wicked or the Musical, it is simply it's own story, a version of the Wizard's story.
My favorite movie ever and Theodora is the character who best represents me irl
Mila Kunis as the Wicked Witch of the West looks like one of Rumpelstiltskin's witches from Shrek 4: Forever After
How did she get the movie? Like i want to know how she downloaded it.
i watched it on disney+ and recorded my computer screen while watching!
@@rachelremeny damn disney+ isn't available in my country...
elphaba's name is just from the musical, in the actual books she doesnt have a name thats why she seems to have so mina different names
Do you think they will released movie #2 ?
I don't know what you mean by "the wizard of oz canon." The forty Oz books published between 1900 and 1963 are the literary canon, but as far as movies are concerned, no two Oz films have happened in the same continuity.
I was expecting to see you here.
@@Eli-yr3rs Like Dr. K, I'm everywhere!
Her: ima watch this movie I know nothing about
Me: WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?!?!
Alright. Here’s a lot of things to debunk about your comparisons with this movie and _Wicked._
1. The reason that Theodora is not named “Elphaba” is because Gregory Maguire’s _Wicked_ novels are given film rights exclusively to Universal, hence why this is its own timeline. Besides, Elphaba is **spoilers** the Wizard’s biological daughter.
2. You can kind of tell who the witches are destined to be due to the contrasting color schemes: Evanora is in black and green (the colors one associates with the Witch of the West due to her black robes+hat and green skin (which was an original idea from the MGM movie musical)) while Theodora is in black, white and red (the colors one associates with the Witch of the East because of her striped socks and ruby slippers (which were ALSO an MGM original idea because they were originally silver)).
3. Annie is, as some hints are dropped, Dorothy’s biological mother. You can tell because of Annie gingham-patterned frock and Annie herself said that she’s marrying John Gale. And Dorothy surname is “Gale.”
4. “China Town” is actually place in the original book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. In the book, Dorothy and her companions travel southwards to Quadling country to ask Glinda for help (yes, Glinda is originally the Witch of the South, not North). On the way to see Glinda, they pass through “China Town” which was originally named “the Dainty China Country”. Everything there, from the people, to the animals, to even the houses, trees, and wagons were made of China. And the whole country was encased in a giant wall that’s shaped like a giant bowl.
5. You can see some hints at Dorothy’s companions being dropped throughout the film. Some Quadlings build scarecrow decoys to remove the flying baboons out the fight in the poppy field, which very much hints at the Scarecrow. One tinker when they’re being introduced says “they can build anything” it hints at them building the Tin Man’s tin body (I don’t wanna talk about the Tin Man’s horrific backstory, so you’ll have to search it up yourself. P.S. one of the Tinkers is actually the grandson of Bert Lahr (the original Cowardly Lion)! Mindblown) And of course the Lion running away from the smoke. This could hint at said lion either being THE Cowardly Lion, or possibly being the Lion’s father. What it is, I have no idea…
Wicked created the name Elphaba since in the original book I don't think the wicked witch of the west had a name so the author just created one. I've seen I think a couple wizard of oz inspired things where the wicked witch was named Theodora
I love this movie, no joke.
I’m afraid to see Wicked because I’ve heard the people hate this movie if they’ve seen Wicked…and I don’t want my opinion of this movie to change
If after the two years since you posted this nobody else has commented on your questions regarding the WWW's eyebrows, I'm happy to confirm that those are indeed not Mila Kunis's eyebrows. Though there are cosmetic tapes that when used with elastic cords that can give one's eyebrows a bit more height, the makeup department here blocked her natural brows using one of several possible methods. The most common of these is used by drag queens to conceal their brows and it involves using a regular Elmer's Glue Stick (the one that looks purple but dries clear). There are also medical grade adhesives used in a similar manner (most commonly Pro's Aide). Perhaps the least reliable of the methods I've used involves brow wax, a product available by many theatrical cosmetic companies (Ben Nye, Mehron, etc).
After the brows are laid flat to the skin and sealed into place with finishing powder, they then painted the more sinister-looking arches on her. If you're interested in learning more about these techniques, there are now countless tutorials widely available here on RUclips for each method or you're more than welcome to ask me any further questions here. I hope this answered your question! Again, my apologies if anyone else already explained elsewhere here in the comments.
so interesting, thanks for the explanation!!
Drinking game: Drink every time she says either "Wicked witch of the west or east
Love movie ❤️
Great movie!
Finally got around to watching this. I was pleasantly surprised, the story was so much better than I expected. Although, Mila Kunis as the wicked witch was disappointing
I am working on my stories look for me in the future.
If you're counting books & movies that have very little to do with the 12 Oz books by L. Frank Baum, then I suppose A Barnstormer in Oz is also canon? It's a great fantasy reimagining of Oz following Dorothy's son, a WWI pilot, as he finds himself in Oz with a biplane that now thinks & talks! Novel by Philip Jose Farmer.
The china village was introduced in one of the original Oz novels.
I'm a purist, so for me the definitive Oz is in Frank Baum's novels.
The timeline is odd to me, since Return to Oz took place in 1899.
Have you seen return to oz???
wow
It's pretty Good it's not a sequel it focuses more on professor marvel it's prequel actually before Dorothy got there it explains how the witch of the west and the north came about and how they were once beutiful and had quite a transformation it also focuses on Glenda when she was younger there were other Characters in it like the tea cup people it's actually pretty good let's see what the new one is like 😂

That a what I thought why didn't he fly the whole time. I figured that wss going to be the good witch cause I knew Rachel and Mila was wicked witches lol. In the book they had a China town sounds a lot like this that's coll they had this in this. I already knew Mila will be wicked witch cause they had that in the trailers some of her transformations lol.

This has no connection to 'Wicked' other than the fact that it's based on The Wizard of Oz. This movie defies Elphaba's entire existance.
("Oh, so Oz caused her to become the Wicked Witch") Well, I mean, that's also what happened in 'Wicked' (not that I'm saying this movie is based on it), I'm just saying in 'Wicked,' he literally CREATED the Wicked Witch. Although to tell the truth, in Wicked, the real Wicked Witch of Oz was Madame Morrible
Wicked is not cannon of Frank Baum's Oz books. Wicked is some what of a deconstructionist take on a classical American mythos that is Oz. In many ways Oz the great and powerful more closely portray the Oz books with the China town village as an example and the various names of the people and fractions that inhabit the land of Oz.
They witches they can cast spells to clean themselves I guess. Dirty spells cleans everything dirty lol
Maybe later she names herself alphaba lol
I have a feeling they are real.
Oh and I have these same experiences as well!! Movies and books come to life in my world. I ain't Wicked
this movie made me so mad. why is glinda in love with the wizard?? her knowing that he's a fraud makes no sense in the long run for when dorothy arrives in oz. and theres sooo many references to the mgm film that they tried to bounce around bc they want to make it as close to the mgm film as possible without getting sued by warner bros. its supposed to be based on the books but none of this is accurate to the real story of the wizard and i truly believe l frank baum would've hated this film. the oz books are feminist pieces and it really is insulting to just make the witches simp over him through the film and to have glinda, the most powerful sorceress in oz, rely on him so much knowing hes a fraud. you can love this movie all you want but its honestly such an insult to baums world he created.
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Millie Bobby Brown?
yea a few people actually haha!
This movie wasn't bad. I don't know why it flopped.
