I'm a con-man, only the best.

Oz the Great and Powerful had an amazing debut this weekend, ringing in estimations of around $80 million at the box office. It stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz. Franco plays Oscar Diggs, aka "Oz",  and he finds himself falling into the Land of Oz where he meets the three witches, Theodora (Kunis), Evanora (Weisz) and Glinda (Williams). I think that it's refreshing to see how the great wizard of Oz became who he is in the 1939 film, "The Wizard of Oz".


Before the release of this movie, Walt Disney created this whole interactive website in partnership with Google Chrome for promotions. I visited the website and I had a blast playing around with the games and tools that were available. Audiences have the option to visit the circus where Oz worked as a magician, where they can make their own "moving pictures" or visit the circus photo booth!  At the end of their journey, the latest movie trailer is shown. After the fun and games, audiences are allowed to share their work with friends on various social media platforms, like Facebook or Twitter.

You can find the website link here: http://www.findyourwaytooz.com/ . This website was chosen as site of the month by the Favourite Website Awards (FWA). I would encourage you to "Find your way to Oz" by going on this website or better yet, to a movie theatre near you! Here are my creative moving pictures, terribly sorry if I offend anybody with my horrible acting! http://www.findyourwaytooz.com/preview/zoe/120070100423883005

Also, here are some concept art from the movie. The animations and settings were amazing.





Cheers!
