King gets a special mention because of her ability to emulate a sweet little china doll one minute and then a sassy teenage girl the next. They are both created by CG but done so well in conjunction with the voice artists that they provided both comic relief and heartfelt counsel. The film would not have been the same without them.
Finley, the flying monkey voiced by Zach Braff, and the China Girl, voiced by Joey King. The dazzling costumes add that extra cherry on top aesthetically, allowing the three actresses to fully embody the classic good and bad witches.Īlso very enearding are the supporting cast. The three of them are mesmerising to watch. Michelle Williams as Glinda is sugary sweet, but knows more than meets the eye. Mila Kunis plays the more impatient and naïve Theodora, the Wicked Witch of the East who is charmed by Oscar.
Rachel Weisz is convincingly witty, sarcastic and dry as the elder sister, Evanora. Later on we meet the famous Glinda the Good, played by the lovely Michelle Williams. He gets transported to Oz where he is found by two witch sisters, played by Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz, who do look stunningly alike. The film is based around the familiar trope of whether he is a good man or not. He plays a blundering but ingenuitive ‘magician,’ Oscar Diggs, who makes his wages by performing at a travelling carnival. Franco is generally typecast, but for some reason he fits this role perfectly. The film features a fairly strong cast with three leading actresses and James Franco in the male lead. The only notable things missing are the famed ruby slippers which seemed to have been forgotten. The yellow brick road, Emerald City and munchkins all return. The flying baboons would terrify the pants off most adults as well as children. The CGI blends well and looks realistic but is still blindingly colourful. The aesthetics are a glittering homage to what we remember from the 1939 film as children. The film was clearly made with the intent of most of the audience viewing it in 3D, with gigantic flower bulbs and razor sharp splinters almost coming out of the screen.
#Oz the great and powerful cast finley movie
True to the 1939 film, this movie starts in black and white before we descend into the vivid colour of the land of Oz. The prequel is set in 1905 Kansas, twenty years before Dorothy travels to Oz. For Raimi’s first try at family film, it’s a pretty good one. Frank Baum’s novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and the much-loved 1939 film adaptation The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland. Oz the Great and Powerful is the Disney prequel to L. Sam Raimi is mostly known for his work on the Evil Dead and Spiderman franchises, but this will be his first venture into family targeted film.
