NEW Disney “Oz: The Great and Powerful” Merchandise

10 March 2013 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

The new Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful had its big premiere yesterday. I had the chance to see the movie during a Disney Parks Blog event and the movie is a real feast for the eyes! The visual effects and costumes are amazing while the story gives you both laughs and tender moments. With a new movie, we luckily always get some new merchandise! Oz merchandise started to pop up at the Disney Parks in the recent weeks and offer something for both older and younger fans!

I found these things at Uptown Jewelers in Magic Kingdom, Mouse Gear in Epcot and World of Disney and Tren-D at Downtown Disney.

This week I also made a trip to the Disney Store and found even more Oz merchandise. The best thing is that most of the merchandise you find there is unique to the Disney Store. The adult Limited Edition Costumes of Glinda and The Wicked Witch of The West were really impressing as you usually can’t find adult costumes in the Disney Store.

So for you guys who have seen the movie, what did you think? Anybody thinking about dressing up as Glinda or the Wicked Witch of the West for next Halloween?

Be a Good Witch AND a Bad Witch with Urban Decay’s New Palettes

5 February 2013 by Suzannah Otis 2 Comments

There are so many movie/pop culture-make-up crossovers lately, it may be hard to keep up, but one I was instantly enamored with was Urban Decay’s The Glinda Palette and Urban Decay’s The Theodora Palette. UD is my favorite brand of eye shadows (so many sparkles!) and I tend to get a little obsessed with their new releases. This is no exception. The two sets are just gorgeous and seem to have a color for any occasion, eye color, or style. See the hues below:

From UD’s description: Inspired by the Disney film’s theme of good witch vs. bad witch (and the good witch/bad witch dichotomy in all of us), Urban Decay created two collectible palettes loaded with beautiful, never-before-seen shades. Recreate Glinda’s ethereal, spellbinding look with eight all new and exclusive eye shadows in six pans (this set includes two duo-shades that are split in half, with a different color on each side of the pan).

Fellow blogger Estelle from ThisHappyPlaceBlog.com picked up the Glinda palette and had these photos to share:

Urban Decay’s The Glinda Palette and Urban Decay’s The Theodora Palette are $49 each and available now. Now go get them before someone drops a house on you too! 😉

FIRST TRAILER For Oz the Great and Powerful

13 July 2012 by Suzannah Otis Leave a Comment

After revealing the intriguing new movie poster for Oz the Great and Powerful starring James Franco, Disney has now released the first trailer, shown yesterday at San Diego’s Comic Con. Oz the Great and Powerful tells the story of how Oscar Diggs went from simple Kansas man to the great Wizard of Oz.

I’ll just say five words: We’re not in Kansas anymore!

What did you think? Definitely much darker (as anticipated, I think) than we are used to seeing from this familiar storyline. More “Wicked” than “Wizard of Oz” I believe. Oz the Great and Powerful will land in theaters in March of 2013.

Breaking: First Official Poster for Oz The Great And Powerful

4 July 2012 by Suzannah Otis 1 Comment

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.
