I am a Wizard of Oz. Superfan have been since I was a kid. I was very worried that the film would leave a lot to be desired compared to the stage play was I ever wrong! Because of the ability of film to take you places that Theater cannot with special effects , visual effects. This had an even bigger impact …:.there are those that want to find someplace in the Oz timeline that fits for them so they can put wicked in a proper spot. Some items may never quite add up. I had to let go of that Desire to have a neat timeline that makes sense. When L Frank Baum wrote these over 100 years ago It was a much simpler time. I don’t believe as I’ve read by some others that Wickef is some someone else’s truth about what was really happening in Oz. I believe this is a story with an alternate view that takes place as a prequel. Somewhat darker more dystopian, which was very far from what our original author intended. That doesn’t make it bad , it just makes it an. alternate story. Which I can live with. They stand on the shoulders of a whole canon of stories that will not be diminished by some other storytelling that envisioned what came before. This is a glorious spectacular visual feast, and I truly believe there will be many Oscar nominations and wins. The score Art, Photography, costuming, sets, design, breathtaking. I felt the two Lead actresses were magnificent! I’m going to see it again this week well done all involved! Thank you

Took a seven year old and 11 year old boys and they both really loved it the artwork the animation the storyline was superb. It was an exciting conclusion and many life lessons. Well done! And go see.
