    Listen - I know a lot of folks are gonna dunk on this (and believe me, there are dunk-worthy aspects to it), but I got to see it with my mom and grandma, who were literally giggling with excitement throughout it.

    Sometimes movies can be good thanks to good company!

    Ludicrous and over-the-top and hilarious and beautifully simple in all the best ways. What an ensemble!

    Joey Fantone’s delivery of “Hey Ian, we’re gonna kill ya. Ohpa!” is why I go to the movies.

    How do you adapt THE most iconic musical and one of the most fantastical settings in film history in a way that deeply respects the source material AND makes audiences feel like they’re hearing this music and visiting Oz for the first time?

    Truly breathtaking animation, a rich score, stellar voice performances, and a beautiful story of motherhood and community all combine to make this my favorite animated film since Into the Spiderverse, and one of my favorites PERIOD of the last few years. Cannot recommend enough.
