Joe Roth, Producer, on Oz The Great And Powerful
“…during the years that I spent running Walt Disney Studios — I learned about how hard it was to find a fairy tale with a good strong male protagonist. You’ve got your Sleeping Beauties, your Cinderellas and your Alices. But a fairy tale with a male protagonist is very hard to come by. But with the origin story of the Wizard of Oz, here was a fairy tale story with a natural male protagonist. Which is why I knew that this was an idea for a movie that was genuinely worth pursuing.”
“hard to come by”
In fact, you took a book by a feminist who was husband to the daughter of a noted suffragette and feminist activist (Maud Gage) who was no “wilting flower” herself to this “men need more power” purpose. From a book series where-in women are repeatedly portrayed as the leaders, heroes and sources of power in the world, and your “male protagonist” is revealed to be a con-man and a fraud, and not heroic at all.
Sir. Go read a book or two.
