I absolutely loved this. If it's Disney you know it's going to be pretty darn good. And it was. It's the prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz' and explains how Oz winds up in the Emerald City. Certain parts are very clever, hinting at areas of the original film that you have to do a double take on. Oscar Diggs is a small town magician, and when he is hurled into Oz after a hurricane he gets mistaken for a great and powerful wizard. The city and all it's riches will be his, if only he can take down the real 'Wicked Witch.' But who is she??
Wonderful graphics, very like 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and Danny Elfman's score is brilliant and fitting as always.
I can see how people might be divided in their reviews of this film, but I thought it was very well done.
