I've heard that book Oz is completely different to MGM Oz. I've also heard from those same people that book Oz is painfully boring compared to MGM Oz, so I never got around to reading it because I don't particularly care enough about Wizard of Oz to learn the deep lore from the books.
Yes, it is completely different, and no, it's not painfully boring. If anything, it's a hell of a lot more interesting.
And probably why I didn't watch it at all. It was tone deaf.
They later gave a tragic reason why. But I can see how it would turn people off
Please, tell us, I need to see how cringy it is.
Apparently Stitch was waiting for lilo to appear on the beach before she left for college only for her not to show up. Later it turns out because Nani was having a baby and Lilo miss Stitch because of that.
It really doesn't, since he lived with them.
Yeah I don't understand that either. Since they never said he didn't live with them when that was going on. I don't know how Stitch wouldn't know Nani was pregnant.

I read this as Halle Berry at first and was like isn't she old to play the little mermaid.Disney’s Live-Action 'The Little Mermaid' Star Halle Bailey Responds To Race-Swap Criticisms: “The Reassurance That Little Girls Just Like Me Should Be Princesses Was Something I Needed As A Kid”
The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey believes that her casting as Ariel in the upcoming Disney remake is a huge win for black representation.
We wuz mermaids n shiet. I hope this movie bombs so studios will get the message that minorities don't want white people's hand-me-downs, but I'm scared it won't since Disney's fanbase is filled with retards who'll eat anything Disney shits out no matter how bad it is.
Yeah, I can definitely see that; I’m also pretty sure Disney was making a lot of grittier/darker films in the 80s so this movie in particular was no exception.
Sometimes the orginal source material not being popular may be a good thing
In the case of Oz, there are three adaptations that people are familiar with: the 1939 MGM film, the Wicked musical, and the Sam Raimi film that is spiritual prequel to the MGM film (which was produced by Disney). Given the source material is in public domain, it's surprising Disney hasn't made a move to acquire the rights.
Disney’s probably too busy milking it’s other IPs to start on any others right now, but i wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually do.
If the books are PD, well, someone should do them.
And now I'm thinking of anime adaptations like these (god sakes the forum is buggy)...
Yes, the books are wildly different in tone. Boring is a matter of personal preference. Tin Woodman's backstory is that he was once a normal human man, until the Wicked Witch of the East cursed his axe, which caused it to chop him up bit by bit. And since people can't die under normal circumstances in Oz, this meant he had to replace the missing parts with tin ones so that he could still be "whole". And it caused his girlfriend to leave him. I don't think that's particularly boring, but like I said, personal preference.
Yeah, Oz was huge in the first half of the 1900's, but it's popularity declined after that. I do believe that particular adaptation is the main reason why. It's not at all particularly accurate to the source material, but it became so beloved and well regarded that interest in the books waned significantly because of it. And it's not at all uncommon for fans of a movie adaptation to snub the book it was adapted from for being different.
>The Disney Oz film was made by Sam Raimi.
And don't forget the later book where we see that the Tin Woodman's severed head is still living in a closet, and his girlfriend is now dating a guy made up of parts of him and another guy.
My girl Tiana is literally right there and deserves SO much more love than she gets. By her saying this, she's saying that Tiana isn't a real princess or good enough because she's not ridiculously popular like Ariel, and instead of working to increase Tiana's popularity and give her the attention and love she deserves, they will instead just give little black girls the sloppy seconds of more popular characters because they don't actually give a shit about them.Disney’s Live-Action 'The Little Mermaid' Star Halle Bailey Responds To Race-Swap Criticisms: “The Reassurance That Little Girls Just Like Me Should Be Princesses Was Something I Needed As A Kid”
