“Oz The Great and Powerful” is only a couple of weeks away from its theatrical debut and Disney released a really cool makeup and costume featurette that gives more insight into how this incredible-looking film was made.

You can take a look at the featurette below, but if you want my quick opinion, I would have loved for the featurette to be even longer. I know it can’t, but just getting a taste of what went into the costuming and makeup, I’d love to learn much more. I was dubious about this film at first, but it looks like it’s shaping up to be an extremely awesome film. I can’t wait to see it when it comes to theaters March 8.

“Oz The Great and Powerful” is directed by Sam Raimi and stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz:

“Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.”
