Swept away by a whirlwind into a magical and unknown world, Ellie and her new friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, set off for the Emerald City in search of the Wizard who will grant their cherished wishes.. Mentioned nearby. -Above: Russian Fairy Tale Movies (2024). You’re hooked the whole time, waiting for Ellie to finally meet the Wizard of Oz, and then they give you a lame "move on". There’s nothing memorable about the movie, because it’s all a setup to get you to watch the second part, which doesn’t yet exist in Russian cinema. In fact, I rate it much higher than Domovyonok Kuzya because the acting, graphics and plot are quite good. However, the film is unfinished. Modern films about Soviet fairy tales are similar: the phone is bad, then something happens, and the child ends up in a magical land. Modern things like the iPhone feel out of place and a bit forced. The movie cuts off in the middle, underestimating everything it showed earlier. After the ending, you feel like you’ve been cruelly cheated because there’s no proper ending.
