Oz Thread

Is it at bedrock yet?

...

Dang, never heard of this.
Dorothy's daughter is a cute lil loli

Either they didn't feel like paying Judy Garland's estate, or they wanted to make her permanently sepia toned

Just Disney corporate philosophy. "Grab It All, Own It All, Drain It All."
Look at Disney's history- suing a daycare centre for painting Disney characters on its wall, trying to get away with not paying Roger Rabbit's creator, trying to get away with selling Pixar lamps without paying Pixar or getting their permission, closing their 2D animation studios EVERY time a new CGI film comes out, they try to screw everyone as a matter of policy.

And you notice they waited until Bratz was successful before they attacked.
To them, ex-Disney talent is just an investment in their future careers. You can't leave Disney then have a career, if you ever make it big they'll try to steal everything you've made.

Damn, that's sinister.

How about none of the above?

This was the best one.

Well summer fag, its called maintaining a monopoly without anyone noticing. If a competitor is making a certain amount of cash that could threaten a Disney product they attack it through a number of legally questionable means to drain them through lawyer costs.

Okay
Disgust
I weep for you glass cat.

It was okay but it never ended properly as I recall. Return to Oz was the best Oz adaptation

Some of the designs are down right terrifying.

I'm surprised they haven't adapted the books considering at least one of them has a guy that turns out to have been a girl all along.

Fuck it just is terrifying. It's about the Kid and the world. Like a child that's about to undertake electric shock therapy…
I know that chans are too cool to care but there is something so truly gruesome about that.

Its not some badass, kid against monsters, or a squad. It's just a kind well behaved girly girl. And that makes all her opponents all the more horrifying.

There was a Muppet TV movie based on Oz that had the sliver slippers, but presumably mostly because the ruby ones are copyrighted

Was it any good, I usually like the muppet movies.

It's from 2004, right after the Disney buyout

It's subtle, but the first Dorothy is non-white too.

She's kinda cute though, looks like Coraline with that art style

Looks more like tan than straight up brown.

It also had a weird but cute Brave Little Toaster cameo.

I honestly never found Return to Oz creepy, aside from the headless Mumbi. But the books could be pretty damn creepy to be honest. Didn't you read the Tin Man's origin story? Shit was fucked up.

First time I ever heard of this.

Explain, I never did.

Ignore him

...

yeah, whatever you say Holla Forums

You want me to tell you Tin Man's origins or about the non-white Dorothy bullshit?

yes

The Wizard of Oz anime is the best animated Oz.

Does Tin-Man have rocket punch In this adaption?

what are you idiots talking about?
This is not white.

Well, some of the books don't have a clear plot and it's more a travelog than a story.

Still the books have enough lore to make an RTS or Japanese style RPG.

Do you even try, murricans?

HBO's

That looks that's based on the Magic Land books.

Tin Man was a munchkin lumberjack named Nick Chopper who was in love with some chick named Nimmie Amee who was the slave of an evil old woman. She didn't want Nick taking her property, so she went to the ruler of the land, the Wicked Witch of the East and paid her to cast a curse on Nick. The witch cursed his axe so it would "accidentally" slip and chop off a piece of his body every time he would try to use it. And each time, Nick had a limb or body part replaced with a tin prosthetic courtesy of the tinsmith. Luckily, no matter how much the axe chopped, it couldn't kill Nick because the land of Oz (which was in the heart of the continent of Nonestica) had an enchantment over it (covered in a previous book), where the fairy queen had chosen the land to be the new domain of the fairies after their original homeland was overrun with humans or some shit, so she enchanted it so nothing in Oz could ever age or die and allowing most animals and plants to talk (so if your wife was knocked up, she'd have to travel to one of the other countries in Nonestica to give birth, so naturally, the enchantment had both its perks and its flaws for humans and animals, and a person's soul could choose whether or not they wanted to stick around in the living world or even if they wanted to keep using their broken body or continue existing in a new vessel). As such, Nick eventually ended up losing all his most important bits, until he eventually chopped off what was left of his own head. But rather than die, his soul chose to stick with the tin body, since Nick liked the fact that his tin body never grew tired and he was stronger than ever, so he had the Tinsmith make a new head for him, and thus the hollow Tin Man was born but he never got a chance to see his gf again because he rusted in the rain. Also, he apparently let the tinsmith keep all his human bits apparently.

After the events of The Wizard of Oz, Tinman became king of the Winki country (the wicked witch of the west's old domain). While at his tin palace, the Tinman wanted to find his old gf again after talking to Scarecrow and Woot the Wanderer, and so the trio went on an adventure to find her, but along the way, they ran into some old giant witch who tried to screw with them. Eventually they make it back to Tinman's old home and near the area, they find another rusted up tinman. After oiling him up, the tinman reveals that is named Captain Fyter and that he had also fallen in love with the same bitch and lost all his fleshy bits because of it. So the two decide to work together in hopes of finding her more quickly and have her decide who she loves best. As they continue their quest, they find their old "friend" the tinsmith and ask him if he knows where Nimmie is. The old bastard then reveals that he bought some cursed glue and used it to put their old body parts back together and make a boyfriend for Nimmie, creating a frankenstein abomination called Chopfyt, much to the anger of the two tinmen and worst of all the Fleshman had gone off to live with her some time ago. Also, the only body part left was Nick's head, which was now emotionless and soulless, and the Tinman didn't want it back because it was a douche. They then went to get revenge and along the way ran into a hideous hippogiraffe creature and an invisible wall. Eventually, they find Nimmie's new home and are ready to beat the crap out of the Fleshman. But Nimmie is pissed at the two tinmen for attacking her new frankenhusband and wants nothing to do with the tinmen. Having been cucked by their old glued up body parts, the two tinmen joined the woman haters club. The Tinman went back to his tin palace and Fyter was made a royal guard in Gillikin Country, Scarecrow fucks off somewhere and Woot goes back to wandering because no one gives a shit about Woot.

Also that happy cover is deceitful as fuck.

They're talking about the Boomerang 2D Dorothy you idiot. 4th and 5th pictures damn you.

dumbass, all of you fail at reading comprehension

How?

Oh how the times have changed.

I haven't read the Oz books, so how'd that work?

Dorothy is blonde in Oz canon

bump

Hey Holla Forums

Why didn't they model her nostrils? This is a real letdown.

Laziness

Nice to know.

Aside from not catering to nostril fetishishts, this shit has been going on for a while, and in high budget disney movies too.

These designs are committee tested and shit to be as inoffensive as possible

Budget

And of course they had a bear.
