Fantasy adventure directed by Sam Raimi. Acting as a prequel to the much-loved classic 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), the film explores how the titular hero, Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a largely unsuccessful circus magician in Kansas, may have found his way to the Land of Oz and his early days in the magical realm. Seeing his new home as a world of opportunity, Oz firmly believes his luck has changed for the better when he is introduced to three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who suggest that he is destined for greatness beyond his imagination.
However, before Oscar can realise his true potential, he must journey through Oz and come face-to-face with the problems that haunt the fantastic land.

classic Oz series. In `The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', Dorothy Gale
and her dog Toto are transported to the magical land of Oz, where
they team up with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion to
seek the help of the Wizard of Oz himself. In `The Marvelous Land
of Oz', Tip, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Saw-Horse and the Woggle-Bug
work together to help to save the Scarecrow's besieged city.
Dorothy and her little dog Toto are swept away from their home in
Kansas by a powerful tornado and dropped into an enchanting new
land called Oz. To get home, the Witch of the North tells her she
must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and ask the
mysterious Wizard of Oz for help. Along the way, she meets the Tin
Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, and together they embark
on a strange and magical adventure.

There are two full-length versions of The Wizard of Oz: MUNY and
RSC. Both include the songs "Over The Rainbow," "Munchkinland (Ding
Dong! The Witch Is Dead)," "If I Only Had A Brain/A Heart/The
Nerve," "We're Off To See The Wizard (Follow The Yellow Brick
Road)," "The Jitterbug," and "The Merry Old Land of Oz." The MUNY
version also has "Evening Star." The RSC version also includes
"Poppies (Optimistic Voices)" and "If I Were King Of The Forest."
This RSC version is a more faithful adaptation of the film. A more
technically complex production, it recreates the dialogue and
structure of the MGM classic nearly scene for scene, though it is
adapted for live stage performance. The RSC version's musical
material also provides more work for the SATB chorus and small
vocal ensembles. The MUNY Version is more theatrically
conservative, employing its stage, actors, singers, dancers, and
musicians in traditional ways. Using L. Frank Baum's book - and not
the MGM film - as its inspiration, this version employs story and
songs as elements of a classic stage musical, adding a bit more
humor to the witch and her cronies. The MUNY version does not
include Toto, but instead adds new characters, including: Farmhand
Joe, Gloria of Oz, Lord Growlie, Tibia (the witch's skeletal
assistant), two comical neighboring witches, and the Royal Army of
Oz.

The Lost Princess of Oz (1917) is the eleventh novel in L. Frank
Baum's beloved Land of Oz series. According to the author, the
story began with a letter from a young reader and soon took on a
life of its own. When Princess Ozma goes missing from her palace in
the Emerald City, and the instruments upon which Glinda the Good
Witch and the Wizard of Oz are nowhere to be found, Dorothy bravely
gathers a group of trustworthy companions in order to solve the
mystery. With Glinda, the Wizard, Button-Bright, Trot, and Betsy
Bobbin, Dorothy journeys west across the Land of Oz to Winkie
Country. On the plateau of the Yips, they learn that Cayke the
cookie cook has lost her magic dishpan before continuing on to the
lost lands of Herku. There, the generous Czarover of Herku tells
them a tale of the evil Ugu the Shoemaker, a wicked enchanter who
lives in a castle high in the mountains of Herku. With her trusted
companions at her side, Dorothy is willing to face down even the
darkest of dangers in order to not only rescue the Princess, but
restore the magical powers of Oz to those who would use them for
good. The Lost Princess of Oz unites many of L. Frank Baum's most
cherished characters in a story of wondrous adventure. From the
mind of master fantasist L. Frank Baum, The Lost Princess of Oz is
a story of mystery, adventure, and the unstoppable power of
bravery. Long overshadowed by the film, Baum's series is required
reading for children, adults, and anyone who refuses to let life
lose its flavor of fantasy. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of L. Frank Baum's
The Lost Princess of Oz is a classic of children's literature
reimagined for modern readers.
Rinkitink in Oz (1916) is the tenth novel in L. Frank Baum's
beloved Land of Oz series. Although it features a few of Baum's
regular characters, the story mostly takes place outside of Oz,
expanding upon an already enormous fictional universe. King
Rinkitink and his talking goat Bilbil are on holiday in the island
kingdom of Pingaree when invaders from Regos and Coregos attack,
kidnapping the local king and queen. He agrees to aid the young
Prince Inga in his quest to rescue his parents and restore the
power of Pingaree. With the help of three magic pearls, Prince Inga
and Rinktink defeat King Gos of Regos, but lose the pearls in the
process. With bravery and willpower alone, the companions journey
to the island of Coregos to face the evil Queen Cor. Although they
manage to recover the magic pearls, as well as to free the people
of Pingaree, Prince Inga's parents are taken to the underworld
kingdom of the Nomes and sold into captivity. Faced with this most
recent setback, Rinkitink, Bilbil, and Inga will need the help of
Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz if they have any hope of saving
Pingaree. Frank L. Baum's Rinkitink in Oz is a larger than life
story of what a brave youth will do for love of family and country.
From the mind of master fantasist L. Frank Baum, Rinkitink in Oz is
a beautiful addition to an epic series that has captured hearts and
minds for over a century. Long overshadowed by the film, Baum's
series is required reading for children, adults, and anyone who
refuses to let life lose its flavor of fantasy. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of L. Frank Baum's Rinkitink in Oz is a classic of children's
literature reimagined for modern readers.
