It has that sort of Alice in Wonderland meets Enchanted feel to it.

Russell Brand would actually be a much better choice. Hell even, Sacha Baron Cohen. I love RDJ but the script doesn't give him much. If they're gonna go eccentric, they should push further.

Disney may think it doesn't need to do another Oz sequel after the Return to Oz, but as already mentioned in this post, prequels are annoying in that there is no suspense in the final outcome – we already know where things are headed.

Go back to the books. Get the characters and their voices right and move onward, not back.

Sometimes I wonder how these idiots in Hollywood ever became the decision makers. Their lack of originality and creativity is shocking and depressing.
