I... kind of love it. It reminds me of this book of fairy tales I had as a kid that was just beautifully illustrated.

I can't hate winged monkeys. Sorry.

Hum. *Not* the same costume designer as the Dune/Children of Dune miniseries. Thought I recognized that tendency of taking the production budget and blowing it all on hats.

I swear I had a lunchbox in 3rd grade with that exact image on it. Brr.

Reminds me of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Not a movie i wanted to be reminded of today.

That is the one association here that makes me worry. However, I feel like Sam Raimi gets a little more cred than Tim Burton for me (for now, before I google who actually directed that third Spiderman...)

Perspective-y

Love it. Love the poster, love when we're ganging up on Dustin.

What the hell? That's the best art I've seen all week! I wanna grab some brownies and just groove on this poster for the rest of the day. Like othes here, I read the unabridged Wizard of Oz when I as a little kid several times and this poster really takes me back. I loved the story's freaky creepiness. They don't write 'em like that anymore, no sir.

maybe i am having an inner kid on my sleeve day, but i don't see what is wrong with the poster? it looks enchanting, magical, like a fairy tale about a faraway land with a magical kingdom. and between the storm clouds and the scary flying monkey, it speaks of conflict and danger. What do you want an Oz poster to look like? The Oz stories were very specifically written to engage children.

Of course, I grew up reading the dozen or so oz novels in their DelRay paperback editions, and this poster is reminiscent of the style and kind of imagery.

Time for the caption contest already?

hahahahhaha! That made me laugh.

The little porcelain doll (is it really that?) mounted on the flying monkey is soooo gonna haunt my dreams

Those dolls haunted my dreams as a kid when I read the books, mainly because the illustrations were seriously messed up. If they stay true to the books, the dolls hail from Dainty China Country, which sounds like my grandmother's version of heaven.

Anyway, at least they're not as creepy as Demi Moore's dolls. Why Ashton didn't divorce her sooner? http://celebrities.ninemsn.com...

I must be missing something because I actually like the poster. It has the feel of the book not the Judy Garland musical.

what's bad about that?

She seriously reminds me of Carmen SanDiego in that get up. They could not have possibly missed that when designing her get up.

Really? All I can see is Catherine Zeta Jones. Is it just me?

Horribly ostentatious red hat + red coat = Carmen SanDiego by default for me.

Ashley Judd for me.

well, it appears they also missed the lipstick on her teeth.
