No Ultimate Evil in Oz

28 Oct 2009 05:09:16 PDT

Written by J. L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
More typical is how Baum introduces the villain in The Lost Princess of Oz (1917): A curious thing about Ugu the Shoemaker was that he didn’t suspect in the least that he was wicked. He wanted to be powerful and great, and he hoped to make himself master of all the Land of Oz that he might compel e...

Opinion: Wizard of Oz Back on Bestseller List

Written by J. L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
I’ll quote from the perceptive review (i.e., I agree with its points) from The Graphic Classroom: Shanower took care in this adaptation by giving us details that have – for most people anyway – been lost because of the celluloid translation. In fact, so many details were left out of the movie t...

Written by J. L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
This contemporary fantasy starts just outside Kansas, strictly speaking—in a patch of magically-made land between that state and Nebraska. But the Oz allusions are inescapable:swirling wind storms that send Mibs Beaumont, her brothers, and their neighbors on their journey of disco...

“I naturally thought of Oz”

24 Sep 2009 03:05:10 PDT

Written by J. L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
There may even be a rule that the closer American children’s books come to Kansas, the more they have to allude to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and/or its sequels. Case in point: Matt Phelan’s graphic novel The Storm in the Barn, set in Kansas in 1937.

I know this isn’t news for anyone by now, but I wanted to post a small tribute to Michael Jackson in honor of his passing today. I won’t go into all of the hits he’s had or his iconic music videos.

Opinion: "I like when Dorothy landed in Oz"

20 Jun 2009 11:12:24 PDT

Written by J. L. Bell(noreply@blogger.com)
I like when Dorothy met the Scarecrow and he woke up and winked at her and started talking. It was funny that the Scarecrow said that he doesn’t have a brain and wants to find the wizard with Dorothy and maybe he’ll get a brain. And the Scarecrow says because he is made of straw he doesn’t get hurt a...
