Oz the Great and Powerful is a great prequel to the well-known classic, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” This animated movie helps complete the story, and shows how the Wizard in the “Wizard of Oz”, movie came to be, showing what happened before Dorothy came in. This movie, is intense, and has a darker edge to it. Some scenes may be a bit frightening to young children. I recommend this movie for older families.

Movie Synopsis

​​

    A mischievous young magician, named Oscar Diggs, finds himself in a vibrant and colourful land called Oz, after he is tossed from his dusty city of Kansas. He is immediately awed by the beauty of the Land of Oz, and thinks that he could easily make a fortune here and become a famous magician. But everything changes when he meets three witches, Glinda, Theodora, and Evanora. They are not convinced that Diggs is the great wizard that everyone has been waiting for. Oscar is then reluctantly drawn into the grave problems that are facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, and he must figure out who is on his side, and who is not. While using his magical talents, Oscar learns to become a better man, and what it means to become the great and powerful wizard of Oz.
