Leave it to Disney to destroy a classic children's story. Mary Poppins was the worst travesty (IMHO and if you disagree, I suspect you have not read the books) but I may change my vote after this one comes out. But we all love a good visual battle between good and evil, don't we? What would L. Frank Baum think? I suspect he might love this one.
