Oz The Great And Powerful Now On Blu-Ray, DVD & 3D ~ Giveaway

As a little girl, my mom read to me the stories of the land of Oz. The old hardbound books that were hers as a girl were yellowed with age, and that familiar musty smell lingered with each turn of the page. Listening to my mother as she read stories of an enchanted land and fanciful creatures from books that her mom once read to her is a special memory. A memory I hope to repeat with my daughters — if we can find those old books. Thank you to Disney for sending me a review copy of this special story. 

Because Oz has always held such a special place in my heart, I watched Disney’s Oz The Great And Powerful on the edge of my seat, delighted at every story twist and new character reveal. While this darker tale of Oz is still a bit too much for my girls to enjoy, I will save this Blu-Ray to watch with them when they get a bit older. For now, it is mom’s special movie.

This is not The Wizard of Oz story that you know, nor is it one of the subsequent 13 stories in the original series. This is an all new tale that goes back to the beginning to explain how an ordinary man became an extraordinary wizard in the land of Oz.

Oz The Great And Powerful Glinda Oscar Bubbles

Remembering my beloved stories, I watched with excitement as the story unfolded explaining how things came to be and leading perfectly into The Wonderful The Wizard of Oz. Telling the tale of not only Oscar, who becomes the wizard, but also that of the sisters, Evanora and Theodora, who become the Wicked Witch of the East and the Wicked Witch of the West. Haven’t you ever wondered just what made them just so wicked?

Oz The Great and Powerful is truly a beautiful movie with visuals becoming of the land of Oz. Like the move The Wizard of Oz (circa 1939), Oz The Great and Powerful opens in black and white land allowing the land of Oz to become a colorful and stark contrast to the dull and lifeless Kansas from which both Oscar and later Dorothy hail. 

Once in Oz, one cannot help but to fall in love with the kind witch Theodora. Although I knew what was to come, watching her innocence and child-like optimism be crushed by evil still makes me sad. 

Along his journey to becoming the wizard everyone believes him to be, Oscar is befriended by Finley the flying Monkey (Zach Braff), China Girl (Joey King) and Glinda the good (Michelle Williams). And while he may not be exactly what the good people of Oz were expecting, in the end he turns out to be exactly what they needed. And, more importantly, they are exactly what he needed to find his greatness.

Oz The Great and Powerful is now available on DVD, DVD & Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray and 3D Blu-Ray. (FYI – If you are 3D capable, this is a movie where the 3D is really stunning.)

Prefer to buy in store, snag this printable coupon for $7 off. 

BONUS – The Blu-Ray/DVD combo back includes a free movie ticket to see Lone Ranger this fall!!!
