interesting world
26 December 2019
It's 100 years after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Victoria Wright works endlessly to keep the steam engines under Emerald City working. The Witch of the North, Locasta, with her flying monkeys warns Victoria that Tin Man who now runs Emerald City is pushing the world to war as the city keeps expanding its destructive influence. Victoria helps Oscar 'Oz' Diggs escape who turns out to be the Wizard's brother. They meet Magnus, the son of the cowardly lion. They're joined by munchkins.

The animation is low grade CG. The story is a generally flat road movie. The most interesting part is the world construction itself. It's fascinating to see Oz 100 years later. The Tin Man story is intriguing. This does need a better road trip. The quest needs a different starting point. It should start with a munchkin losing its home due to Tin Man's Emerald City and the munchkin would head off to the city. The group would arrive at the city like traveling to the Heart of Darkness. This world is a wonderful world to play in. It just needs some better writing and more grown up CGI.
