Trivia

This is the second Oz-related movie to be produced by the Disney company. Their first film was Return to Oz (1985).

Share this

Olivia Wilde, Amy Adams, Blake Lively, Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley and Rebecca Hall were considered for the roles of the witches.

Share this

This is the second time Zach Braff has starred in an Oz themed production: in Scrubs: My Way Home (2006) he plays the role of Dorothy in a Wizard of Oz parody. His Scrubs character JD also mentions that he appeared in his school's production of the musical version of The Wizard of Oz titled "The Wiz".

Goofs

When Oz and Theodora flee from the crash site, Theodora's boots are flat; moments later, when he boosts her into the cave, the boots have high heels.

Share this

The machine which projects a giant image of Oz is based on a 'praxinoscope', and indeed the mirrors can be seen rotating behind him. However, that mechanism is totally irrelevant since what's required is one large stationary mirror in the light path between Oz and the lens to invert the image.

Share this

When Oz flees the circus, he escapes by cutting the tether rope that the circus strong man is pulling towards himself. However, in the previous shot, there are clearly two ropes holding the balloon to the ground.

Quotes

Oz: I don't want to be a good man... I want to be a great one.

Glinda: [to Oz] Can you save my people?

Oz: You can have a nice pile of bananas!

Faq

Why isn't Glinda the witch of the North?

In the books, Glinda is the Witch of the South. When Dorothy first arrives in Oz she meets the witch of the North first and Glinda at the end. The 1939 film combined the two witches. Oz the great and Powerful restores Glinda to being the Witch of the South with the witch of the North unknown/unmentioned in the film.

Where is Elphaba?

This version is not canon to Wicked or to the 1939 MGM musical film. It is canon to Baum's books. So Elphaba does not appear. In this movie, she is replaced with Evanora, to make us think that she's the Wicked Witch of the East and Theodora is the Wicked Witch of the West.

Where are the ruby slippers, munchkinland, etc.?

The ruby slippers and various other elements were inventions of the 1939 MGM film. Due to legal issues, Disney was not able to use these elements. This extended to small thing like the spiral yellow brick road design, to what color green the wicked witch's skin could be.
