It's funny how a teaser poster can get you so excited for a movie,
but then how quickly all that goes away
when you see the official poster.
That's EXACTLY what happened to me when I saw the teaser poster for The Witches of Oz.
This poster really draws you in and makes you look closer to see what's inside the ball. The design is simple, and it takes a second to realize that you're looking at the infamous city of Oz.
I guess you could say I was ready to follow the yellow brick road and run out to the theatre to see this film, well, until I saw the official poster for it.
It's not that this poster is necessarily bad by any means, there is just way too much going on here. From the overly photoshop'd faces, to the flying car, and Christopher Lloyd dressed up like Sergeant Pepper, I'm just not sure where to look.
...and where is that yellow brick road anyway?
This definitely isn't the Oz that I grew up with, but I guess that is the point since it's a re-envisioned version. "It's more like the book" the studio has been saying in defense.
From the looks of this poster, I'm thinking it's going to be a little bit Stardust with a lotta bit Hocus Pocus, which might not be so bad afterall.
