🎬 The Wizard of Oz (Remake) Genre: Fantasy / Adventure / Musical Tone: Heartfelt, imaginative, and humorous with a modern sense of wonder --- 🧠 Story Overview: When a fierce storm whisks young Dorothy Gale (Millie Bobby Brown) away from Kansas, she awakens in the magical Land of Oz — a realm of wonder, danger, and self-discovery. Determined to find her way home, Dorothy embarks on a journey down the Yellow Brick Road, joined by three unforgettable companions: The Scarecrow, who longs for a brain to think clearly, The Tin Man (Ewan McGregor), a kind but rusting soul searching for a heart, and The Cowardly Lion (Jack Whitehall), a nervous yet lovable beast yearning for courage. Their journey takes them through enchanted forests, haunted lands, and emerald cities — all while being watched by the sinister Wicked Witch of the West, who will stop at nothing to claim Dorothy’s ruby slippers and her power. In the dazzling Emerald City, the friends discover that the great and mysterious Wizard of Oz (Christopher Walken) may not be all he seems. The journey becomes one of inner discovery, as each learns that what they were searching for was within them all along. --- 🌈
