Acting as a prequel to the much-loved classic 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939), the film explores how the titular hero, Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a largely unsuccessful circus magician in Kansas, may have found his way to the Land of Oz and his early days in the magical realm. Seeing his new home as a world of opportunity, Oz firmly believes his luck has changed for the better when he is introduced to three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who suggest that he is destined for greatness beyond his imagination. However, before Oscar can realise his true potential, he must journey through Oz and come face-to-face with the problems that haunt the fantastic land. Review: "Stunning on the eyes" - This film is "excellcent" and "brilliant" and a visual feast on the eyes,even though it starts in "black and white" it does add to the film. The "story line" is more a prequeal/origin to "The Wizard of OZ" but as a film in its own right is certainly worth watching:),James Franco plays an excellcent role as the selfish,arrogant,and show side magician "Oz",who turns out to be a man who does care.The land of Oz itself is presented beautifully and great thought and design went into it,but what else due we expect from Disney!!. A very enjoyable movie,both for adults and children highly recommened,and the sequences with the "Broken china doll" are outstanding and quite moving.Just watch it and be trilled by it,its like the first time watching the "Wizard of Oz" just a really nice film where you can leave this modern world aside and just lose yourself in something totally fun and silly. Review: Beautiful - Having seen the original Wizard of Oz that used colour, in those days, to great effect I feel the theme was carried on in this film. This is really the prequel to the original telling us about the witches and how the Wizard arrived in Oz. The colours are stunning and the scenes and sets are magical. I don't really know James Franco too well but was pleasantly surprised with his acting contribution. There are some good actresses too which make it a very enjoyable film in all. I would recommend this film for all the family - great fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BL1BHZE | | Actors | James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.40:1 | | Audio Description: | English | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (812) | | Director | Sam Raimi | | Dubbed: | Russian, Ukrainian | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | BUA0195501 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (Dolby Digital 5.1), Russian (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 81.65 g | | Release date | 1 July 2013 | | Run time | 2 hours and 10 minutes | | Studio | Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, Estonian, Greek, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian, Ukrainian | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Sam Raimi - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 10 minutes ## Images ![Oz: The Great and Powerful [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CX1oWXWYL.jpg) ![Oz: The Great and Powerful [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812E1mG9cAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Stunning on the eyes" *by Y***N on 21 July 2013* This film is "excellcent" and "brilliant" and a visual feast on the eyes,even though it starts in "black and white" it does add to the film.

This is really the prequel to the original telling us about the witches and how the Wizard arrived in Oz. The colours are stunning and the scenes and sets are magical. I don't really know James Franco too well but was pleasantly surprised with his acting contribution. There are some good actresses too which make it a very enjoyable film in all. I would recommend this film for all the family - great fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oz previsited *by F***0 on 7 April 2013* This epic fantasy covers Oz's history prior to the 1939 Wizard of Oz film, based on the first instalment of Frank Baum's books. These wonderful, escapist stories have been called the only truly American fairy-tales. Prequels like Tin Man for TV and Wicked for the stage concentrated on the witches that roam the place but Oz, short for Oscar Diggs, is about the arrival of said prestidigitateur in the land. The film's style is a tribute to the 1939 Wizard of Oz, as some of the Oz actors appear in the B&W Kansas scene first. Oz's conning lead him to escape in a balloon, and after a scary time in a twister he ends up in the enchanting, rich-in-detail world of Oz (e. g. the River Fairies are deliciously vile cuties). After a false start with ghastly consequences, wherein the womanizing Oz becomes indirectly responsible for calling the most wicked of witches into existence, he makes a pact with yet another witch, Glinda the Good. Oz's world of lush art direction becomes the metaphorical background for Oscar's gradual transformation into a better person. The screenwriters convincingly manage to let Oz's tricks triumph over the magic and get him installed as the powerful man in Emerald City. We all knew James Franco could give us a dashing lead, but he masterfully keeps us sympathising with a character that in essence is not likable, at least not until way into the second act of the movie. Of the three witchly sisters only Rachel Weisz has the style necessary to appear in a costume movie. Strangely, the scriptwriters denied her character to connect with The Wizard of Oz - in which she made a short and corpsy appearance (or aren't we to assume she is the Wicked Witch of the East under Dorothy's house?) They just had to let Weisz don a pair of striped stockings, visible on her last escape - that, and a certain pair of ruby slippers. It would have made the movie a completely clarifying prequel, and given the fact 'it works hard' to be that, this is a peculiar error. But this is just an afterthought, it didn't bother me during watching. Notwithstanding the overdone girlishness of the broken doll and a bit of a 3D let down I applaud this well-handled movie, from its nostalgic, vaudeville start to its Emerald City-end, that sets the stage for the original story we have come to love ... and Judy Garland's glorious debut. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/48098191-oz-the-great-and-powerful-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/48098191-oz-the-great-and-powerful-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
