Oz the Great and Powerful (Disneycember)

(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing a poster for musical "Wicked")

Doug (vo): Hey, you remember "Wicked"? That Broadway show that took the world by storm by looking at a popular story and giving it a new point of view? (Posters for "Mirror Mirror", "Snow White and the Huntsman" and the recent incarnation of the Wicked Witch from series "Once Upon a Time" are shown) And...everybody has been trying to rip off in one way or another recently?

(We are treated to trailer clips and screenshots from "Oz the Great and Powerful")

Doug (vo): Well, now we have Disney's version! Uh...one of many. But this is one that actually takes place in Oz, too. It's "Oz the Great and Powerful". And imagine it take from director Sam Raimi, who makes his imagination and wonder with...awkwardness and...a lot of clumsy choices.

Story
Doug (vo): A magician, played by James Franco, wants to make a name for himself by doing great things, but he just can't seem to get off the ground. Well, one day, he literally gets off the ground with a balloon, gets sucked away into a storm and wakes up in the Land of Oz. He, of course, comes across some interesting characters and some interesting baddies, and he tells everyone that he is, in fact, a powerful wizard. By using his illusions and a salesmanship, he convinces everyone he can do great things, and, for the most part, everybody believes him. But soon, an evil witch, played by Rachel Weisz, tries to use his tricks to her advantage, while also using her sister, played by Mila Kunis, by manipulating her romantic interest in him to fulfill an evil plot.
