I know I've been one to dispise remakes on here, but it's not so much me hating the idea of retelling an existing tale (for example, one of my favorite movies ever is the Clooney remake of Ocean's 11), but rather how poorly and haphazardly they're created, with little to no care of the original material.

So it was with great trepedation I peered upon these designs for the forthcoming CG version of The Wizard of Oz.  Say what you will of the 30’s original, but it really didn’t touch the darkness and sadness of the Baum novels.

This CG version?  Might have what it takes.  I already really like the forlorn Tin Man, seen above.
