01
02
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Why this pick
Its theatrical fantasy worlds, moral bargains, and trickster-showman energy echo Oz’s fascination with illusion and spectacle, while giving its magical imagery a more eccentric, dreamlike edge.
03
Mirror Mirror
Why this pick
A visually extravagant fairy-tale reinvention with elaborate costumes, bright enchanted settings, comic villainy, and a light adventure rhythm close to Oz the Great and Powerful.
04
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Why this pick
This pairs flashy practical magic and large-scale fantasy action with a reluctant hero learning to become worthy of a grander role, much like Oscar’s transformation in Oz.
05
Maleficent
Why this pick
Its richly designed fairy-tale kingdom and sympathetic treatment of uncertain good-and-evil alignments make it a strong fit for Oz’s lush, revisionist fantasy sensibility.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Follows Oscar Diggs, a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics. When Diggs is hurled away to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot...until he meets three witches who aren't convinced he's the great wizard everyone's expecting. Reluctantly drawn into epic problems facing Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it's too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity and even some wizardry, Oscar transforms himself into the great wizard and a better man as well.
