Many of us remember the iconic movie, "The Wizard of Oz", which was notable in the year 1938 for the use of technicolor in television. The original movie made "Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers" famous. It is also known for having the actress Judy Garland in it, who played Dorothy herself. While this tale tells the story of Dorothy's strange childhood, now NBC has decided to do a twist on the movie. While the original movie had singing, this show sadly does not. Take a look at the trailer:
So from the first episode, it does mention "20 years later." This leaves me to believe that the original story has already happened, and this is just something that occurs years later. I don't want to give out too many spoilers. However, the dog Toto does actually make an appearance (even if he is a German Shepard police dog, given the name when Dorothy makes an appearance in the village of the munchkin). The first episode is about an hour roughly. This shows plot reminds me of "Once Upon A Time". I can promise viewers of NBC this show will be JUST as amazing!
I really thought it was just going to be a bad remake when I watched this, but it's incredible! The effects itself are worth watching! You can watch episode one entitled, "The Beast Forever/Prison of the Abject." on Hulu! If you have any thoughts on this and you have watched it, let me know in the comments below!
