Familiar and fresh "The Wizard of Oz"! Classic fairy tale takes on a new look

The Russian film "The Wizard of the Emerald City" is adapted from the classic fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz". It sets the time in a modern society where adults and children are addicted to mobile phones and the Internet, making the story more contemporary. In the trailer, the family of three was on a drive on a trip. The father discovered that the little girl Ellie had violated their agreement and was secretly playing with her mobile phone. Ellie lost her temper because her father wanted to confiscate her mobile phone and refused to continue traveling and get off the bus to go home. As a result, she was swept into an unfamiliar foreign world by a tornado, and her pet dog Toto miraculously spoke.

Ellie, the little girl who was forced to come to the other world in the movie, had to go to the Emerald City, ask the wizard Goodwin for help, and help the three magical creatures realize their wishes before she could return to the real world and reunite with her parents. To this end, Ellie embarked on a bumpy journey home. The film cleverly borrows the core character settings of "The Wizard of Oz"-Ally meets along the way with the scarecrow who craves wisdom, the rusty iron woodcutter who craves a heart, and the timid lion who hopes to become brave-through a new interpretation. Character interaction and modern narrative background give these classic characters a more distinctive personality and unique sense of humor. This practice of "new wine in old bottles" not only makes audiences familiar with the original work feel more friendly, but its unique Russian fantasy style also brings an unprecedented fresh audio-visual experience. This is a familiar and fresh fantasy adventure, waiting for the audience to walk into the theater to unlock this fairy tale surprise from a foreign country.

The ceiling of "edutainment and entertainment"! Family fun adventure carnival for big friends and children

"The Wizard of the Emerald City" is far more than just an audio-visual feast, but also fully leverages its entertaining and educational characteristics. As a new screen edition of the must-read masterpiece "The Wizard of Oz" recommended by the Ministry of Education's "New Curriculum Standards", the film presents profound qualities such as "wisdom, sincerity, and courage" through vivid and interesting plots and character interactions. During Ellie's exciting adventure, the children will naturally feel the true meaning of friendship, the meaning of persistence and the value of family companionship. The journey of finding wisdom, sincerity and courage is itself an excellent growth metaphor that guides children to think: true wisdom comes from practice and thinking, sincerity requires experiencing it through mutual love with others, and courage is the first step in the face of fear. The movie cleverly weaves these precious life philosophies into the clues of fantasy adventures, allowing children to enjoy them and subtly accept the influence of positive values.

For parents,"The Wizard of the Emerald City" also provides the perfect "Family Adventure Day" option. As the summer vacation is coming to an end, immersing your children in the magnificent fantasy world created by live-action fairy tale movies is not only a reward for your children's hard work and upcoming school, but also a valuable opportunity to create common topics and enhance family emotions. This is a happy journey that allows parents to let go of the fatigue of adults, return to fairy tale innocence, and gain warm parent-child time. The friendship, courage, love and the precious meaning of family shown in the film jointly create "The Wizard of the Emerald City", a veritable "educational ceiling" adventure carnival for all ages shared by big friends and children.

The movie "The Wizard of the Emerald City" was imported by China Film Group Corporation, translated and distributed by China Film Industry Group Corporation, and will be released on August 29, 2025. See you on the big screen!
