Get to Know the Enchanting Residents of "Oz" - James Franco, Mila Kunis, Zach Braff, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Joey King, Tony Cox
Disney is delighted to introduce the inhabitants of the Land of Oz in the 3D fantasy adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful." Directed by Sam Raimi, the film reimagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz.
OSCAR DIGGS (James Franco): Oscar Diggs is a small-time magician who takes his magic act on the road as part of a traveling circus in the Midwest. A man with dubious ethics, Oz is a handsome, charming charlatan who is skilled at smooth-talking his way out of problems. When he is hurled into the magical Land of Oz, Oscar faces a fight-or-flight dilemma that holds the fate of a kingdom in the balance, forcing him to decide what kind of man he truly is before it is too late.
FRANK (Zach Braff): Frank is Oz's assistant and right-hand man - he's the money handler, costume mender and prop wrangler for Oz's magic act. Frank is put upon and underappreciated but is Oz's only friend.
THEODORA (Mila Kunis): Theodora is a beautiful, naïve witch who is protected by her powerful sister Evanora. Theodora only wants peace to come to the Land of Oz and truly believes that a prophesied wizard will arrive someday to restore order.
FINLEY (Zach Braff): Finley is a winged monkey that accompanies Oz on his journey. Finley doesn't have a high opinion of Oscar and lets him know it. Ultimately he becomes a loyal ally and helps Oz discover his true self.
EVANORA (Rachel Weisz): A witch to be feared, Evanora is Theodora's over-protective sister. With her penetrating gaze, she exudes a powerful presence and has positioned herself as the royal advisor and protector of Emerald City.
GLINDA (Michelle Williams): Glinda is a good witch who rules over a peaceful kingdom of simple, kind folk. Beautiful Glinda is not only a compassionate and benevolent witch, but also a fierce protector of her people. Though Glinda sees through Oz's façade early on, she knows genuine goodness lies within and helps Oz achieve his true destiny.
CHINA GIRL (Joey King): China Girl is from the village of China Town, where everything, including the inhabitants, is made of china. When destruction befalls her land, the brave, resilient China Girl encounters Oz and they strike up an unlikely friendship.
KNUCK (Tony Cox): Knuck is a dour, unsmiling Munchkin, who, as the Herald of Emerald City, announces all the visitors. Despite his cantankerous demeanor, he is loyal to Glinda and thus reluctantly becomes Oz's ally.
WINKIES: The Winkies are the formidable, spear-carrying, 8-foot tall, uniformed guards of Emerald City under the command of Evanora.
QUADLINGS: The Quadlings are inhabitants of Glinda's kingdom. They are kind-hearted, simple country folk who are mostly farmers.
TINKERS: The Tinkers, who live in Glinda's kingdom, are tall, thin, old men with long, white beards and elfish ears who can build anything. What they lack in stamina they more than make up for in ingenuity. They are led by the Master Tinker, who Oz finds the perfect foil for his plans.
MUNCHKINS: The Munchkins are giggling, happy little people, who live peaceful lives singing and making pretty clothes. Though they don't have a care in the world, they are loyal to Glinda and do their best to help her if and when she needs them.
Opening across the Philippines on Thursday, March 7 in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D and regular theaters, "Oz The Great and Powerful" is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.
