The Super Bowl ad for Disney’s “Oz The Great and Powerful” has already aired, and we have gotten to see more of what this amazing-looking fantasy film has to offer. If you want to get more psyched for this film, check out the ad below the post.

Here’s the official synopsis for “Oz The Great and Powerful,” starring James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and directed by Sam Raimi:

“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.”

“Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8. Go to the film’s site and Facebook page to learn more.
