TONTON: Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)

Oz the Great and Powerful features several artistic allusions and technical parallels to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. The film's opening sequence is presented in black-and-white, transitioning into color when the protagonist arrives in Oz; additionally, the aspect ratio changes from 4:3 Academy ratio to 2.35:1 widescreen[4], and the audio transitions from monaural to surround sound.[5]As in the 1939 film, Glinda travels in giant bubbles, and the Emerald City is actually emerald – in the novel, characters wore tinted glasses to make it appear so. The iconic green look of the Wicked Witch of the West is close to her look in the classic film, as in the novel the Witch was a short, one-eyed crone. The Wicked Witches are portrayed as sisters – an idea which originated in the 1939 film. Several actors who play Oz characters make cameos in the Kansas segments. One such character, Annie (Michelle Williams), informs Oscar that she has been proposed to by a John Gale, presumably hinting at Dorothy Gale's parental lineage.[6] She also wears a gingham dress, similar in style to Dorothy's iconic blue and white outfit.

The film also alludes to L. Frank Baum's original novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Scarecrow, who is built by the townspeople as a scare tactic; the Tin Man, whose creator is introduced as the Master Tinker; and the Cowardly Lion, who is frightened away by Oscar after attacking Finley.[7] Similarly, various other races of Oz are depicted besides the Munchkins(the only race named in the classic film), including the the Winkies, the the Quadlings, and the china doll inhabitants of Dainty China Country. Also, Oz is presented as a real place (as it was in the novel) and not a dream, as the 1939 film presented.
