WHY?

The last thing people want is another butchering of the Oz books.

People (not just me, but a lot of others) are tired of Oz movies with "twists" and just want a faithful adaptation.

The Oz books by L. Frank Baum are wonderful, and are prime material for an enchanting and exciting  movie. You don't need to change a thing.

Most of us have actually read the books by now. Most of us became fans. And most of us just want a faithful adaptation.

This isn't "Big Hero 6", this isn't a disposable Marvel comic. We are talking about a literary classic the likes of which readers have never seen since.

I want to see Ozma, and the Kalidahs, and Mombi, and the Nome King, and the Field Mice, the Wise Donkey, the Phanfasms and Magical Mimics.

I want the silver slippers. A Wicked Witch of the West that isn't green or "Elphaba".

I...most of us...just want to see Baum's vision on the big screen.

Disney could do it. "They always change things"...NO, THEY DON'T. They made very faithful adaptations of "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

Why can't they do the same for the Oz books?
