Disney Releases First Oz Posters

Disney's Oz - The Great and Powerful
Official Disney Artwork

Trending now on Twitter are the first images of the promotional posters for the upcoming Disney film Oz - The Great and Powerful (release: March 2013) directed by Sam Raimi, the director of the original Spiderman trilogy and starring Spiderman veteran James Franco as Oz himself. The story is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz and shows Oz's rise to prominence and power.

Now I'm having a rough time associating Oz with Disney after all those years of the original Wizard of Oz classic being the standard bearer for MGM (do they still exist?) but Raimi is a quality director and producer. Keep an open mind....keep an open mind....

A Couple more Disney images of Oz.
