can't believe we're now in the age of watching two films that were made 85 years apart...

That song & Judy Garlands voice brings a tear to my eye after all these years

[Moomin.trolll]

this is not a remake of Wizard of Oz. This is a adaptation of the musical wicked, which is a wildly different story

[KelliBlanchard]

I watch the old one every Christmas without fail just like I did with my grandad many years ago I miss him x😢

Wizard of Oz is nothing like Wicked. Two different plots and one is a musical.

Nothing is better than the original 😌 Judy garlands voice will always bring me to tears.

I feel like Arianna is in the wrong role😂

[seeleygirl]

I forgot how magical and perfect Judy Garland’s voice was.

The original Glinda dress was much more beautiful and well thought out. Judy Garland's voice will always bring me to tears.

Wicked isn't a remake. Its a prequel.

Do people really not know that Wicked isn't a remake of the Wizard of Oz? Cuz that's crazy 🤣

RIP All Those In The Wizard Of Oz Trailer 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Yall its not a remake. Its a musical and its more of a prequel. Its the story of how each of the witches became who they were in the wizard of OZ.

As someone with 3 tattoos based on the original Oz books, I love these little homages to the film. The journey from original book series to film adaptation, to prequel novel to musical adaptation, and now to film make me very happy. I adore Wicked, and I desperately hope that they do it justice

[RyanRafanan]

Almost a hundred years. So much has happened and innovations in our dreamy world. I hope it never ends. 😊❤❤❤😊

Wow I didn’t realize how similar the trailers were😮

[KelvinR]

Ariana gasping at the beginning is so funny to me 💀💀💀

[Jean_grey]

The effects they pulled back then was nothing short of incredible

[orangutansoda]

I’m high key excited for this tbh. People don’t think Ariana can do it but I think she is a great fit. I love seeing Ariana acting and singing in musicals again. I think she loves it too seeing as i think she requested this role herself.

Original green witch was more frightening, and Glinda was more beautiful and poised!
