The Wizard of Oz
Adventure / Family
In this charming
film based on the popular L. Frank Baum stories, Dorothy and her dog
Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of
Oz. Here she meets some memorable friends and foes in her journey to
meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and
possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and
courage.
Dorothy
is a young orphaned girl raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the
bleak landscape of a Kansas farm. She has a little black dog Toto, who
is her sole source of happiness on the dry, gray prairies. One day the
farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is caught up in a cyclone and
deposited in a field in Munchkin Country, the eastern quadrant of the
Land of Oz. The falling house kills the evil ruler of the Munchkins, the
Wicked Witch of the East.
The Good Witch of the North comes with the
Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy the Silver Shoes (believed
to have magical properties) that the Wicked Witch of the East had been
wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good
Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the
"Emerald City" or "City of Emeralds" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help
her. Before she leaves, the Good Witch of the North kisses her on the
forehead, giving her magical protection from trouble. On her way down
the road of yellow bricks, Dorothy frees the Scarecrow from the pole he
is hanging on, restores the movements of the rusted Tin Woodman with an
oil can, and encourages them and the Cowardly Lion to journey with her
and Toto to the Emerald City. The Scarecrow wants to get a brain, the
Tin Woodman wants a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wants courage. All four
of the travelers believe that the Wizard can solve their troubles. The
party finds many adventures on their journey together, including
overcoming obstacles such as narrow pieces of the yellow brick road,
vicious Kalidahs, a river, and the Deadly Poppies.
When the travelers
arrive at the Emerald City, they are asked to wear green spectacles by
the Guardian of the Gates as long as they remain in the city. The four
are the first to ever successfully meet with the Wizard. When each
traveler meets with the Wizard, he appears each time as someone or
something different. Dorothy sees the Wizard as a giant head, Scarecrow
sees the Wizard a beautiful woman, Tin Woodman sees the Wizard as a
terrible beast, and the Cowardly Lion sees the Wizard as a ball of fire.
The Wizard agrees to help each of them....but only if one of them kills
the Wicked Witch of the West who rules over the western Winkie Country.
The Guardian of the Gates warns them that no one has ever managed to
harm the very cunning and cruel Wicked Witch.
As the friends travel across the Winkie Country, the Wicked Witch sees them coming and attempts various ways of killing them: First, she sends her 40 great wolves to kill them. The Tin Woodman manages to kill them all. Then
the Wicked Witch of the West sends her 40 crows to peck their eyes out.
The Scarecrow manages to kill them by grabbing them and breaking their
necks.
Then the Wicked Witch of the West summons a swarm of black
bees to sting them to death. Using the Scarecrow's extra straw, the
others hide underneath it while the bees try to sting the Tin Woodman. Then the Wicked Witch of the West uses her Winkie soldiers to attack them. They are scared off by the Cowardly Lion.
Using
the power of the Golden Cap, the Wicked Witch of the West summons the
Winged Monkeys to capture Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion and Toto, and to
destroy the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. This plan is successful and
the survivors are carried to the Witch.
The Wicked Witch forces
Dorothy to do housework for the castle, all the while scheming to steal
Dorothy's magical shoes. She also locks up the Lion without food until
he will submit to being a pack animal (he never does, as Dorothy sneaks
him food at night).
The Wicked Witch melts, from the W. W. Denslow illustration of the first edition (1900).
When
the Wicked Witch gains one of Dorothy's silver shoes by trickery,
Dorothy in anger grabs a bucket of water and throws it on the Wicked
Witch. To her shock, this causes the Witch to melt away, allowing
Dorothy to recover the shoe. The Winkies rejoice at being freed of the
witch's tyranny and they help to reassemble the Scarecrow and the Tin
Woodman. The Winkies love the Tin Woodman, and they ask him to become
their ruler, which he agrees to do after helping Dorothy return to
Kansas.
Dorothy, after finding and learning how to use the Golden
Cap, summons the Winged Monkeys to carry her and her companions back to
the Emerald City. and the King of the Winged Monkeys tells how he and
the other monkeys were bound by an enchantment to the cap by the
sorceress Gayelette.
When Dorothy and her friends meet the Wizard of
Oz again, he tries to put them off. Toto accidentally tips over a screen
in a corner of the throne room, revealing the Wizard to be an ordinary
old man who had journeyed to Oz from Omaha long ago in a hot air
balloon. The Wizard has been longing to return to his home and be in a
circus again ever since.....
The young Erwin Smith is a rising star in the Survey Corps, humanity's
only hope of defeating the man-eating monsters known as Titans. Ruthless
and dispassionate, Erwin's mind is devoted to strategies and intrigue.
But beneath Erwin's feet is another world, the "Underground," where
humans are born and die surrounded by the garbage the Capital throws
away. Here, the criminal Levi survives on his wits and agility. But when
these two ambitious men cross paths, who will prove himself stronger?
The long-awaited origin story of Levi and Erwin, two of Attack on
Titan's most beloved characters!

Plot summary:
Many
Years ago, a tormented Demigod walked the earth: Hercules was the
powerful son of the god king Zeus. For this, he received nothing but
suffering for his entire life. After twelve arduous years of labor and
the loss of his family, the dark and world-weary soul turned his back on
the gods, finding his only solace in combat. Over the years, he warmed
to the company of six similar friends, their only bond being their love
of fighting and presence of death. These men and women never questioned
where they would go to fight or why or whom, just how much they would be
paid - until the King of Thrace hired them to train his men to become
the greatest army of all time. It was time for the group of lost souls
to finally have their eyes opened to see how far they have fallen, when
they must train an army to become as ruthless and bloodthirsty as their
reputation has become.

Part 3
Here is part 3 of the movie, where after whacking one of Cluny's men
with a tree branch, Matthias surprisingly befriends Basil Stag Hare.
After
a little "humorous" introduction to each other, and after Matthias
tells Basil that the vole family has been captured and he plans to get
the tapestry of Martin, Basil agrees to help Matthias against Cluny.
Little
do they know that after leaving the unconscious rat behind, he regains
consciousness and bites himself free. Suddenly, Asmodeus, a venomous
snake, eats the up rat, and at Redwall, a diversion is suddenly made, as
an attempt to get in the Abbey wall!
Matthias and Basil return
to find the unconscious rat missing, but Matthias doesn't hear Basil
properly about Asmodeus, and mispronounces it by 'Smodeus'.
Later,
Basil is immediately accepted into the Abbey, and Cluny is rather
unimpressed and surprised that his hostages have been freed! Angered,
he tries to walk a plank to get to the wall, but Constance and Matthias
tip it over, sending Cluny to the ground.
At first, Matthias thinks he's dead, but once he awakens, he realizes that he was only unconscious for a few minutes.
So, Cluny is still alive, with an injured leg.
Disclaimer: Nothing To Own
http://youtu.be/ENDSdaUqFpQ
Part 4
With Cluny trying to recover, mysterious writing is discovered from where the tapestry stood, Cornflower and Methusula realize that the words, "I AM THAT IS", is suddenly changed to "I MATTHIAS"! With the help of Mr. Foremole, Martin's tomb is also discovered.
Trapped inside the tomb until help arrives, the three find Martin's belt and shield, and Methusula declares that Matthias is Redwall's next defender, although Matthias disagrees.
Part 1
Introduced in 1999, and later on PBS for television, based on the book by Brian Jaques, I am pleased to introduce to you...
The Redwall Movie!
The
story starts as John Churchmouse introduces the story of young orphan
mouse Matthias, as his town is attacked, and his family is killed by a
villianous rat, named Cluny the Scourge!
Matthias and his sister
travel many days and seasons trying to reach the abbey, but upon their
arrival, Matthias' sister, Myrtle, sick and exhausted, dies.
Now
on his own, Matthias experiences abbey life, while those around him
protect and befriend him, such as Cornflower, Methusula and Abbott
Mortimer.
Then, one night, while running down a hall with a
tapestry of Martin the Warrior, because he had outgrown his habit,
Matthias trips on it, dropping a basket of nuts.
At least more than half a dozen are spilled out.
As Matthias picks them up, he looks at Martin, and though as a joke, he asks if he was never clumsy.
Seconds later, Martin says Matthias' name!
Before anything else happens, Abbott Mortimer comes to Matthias, and Matthias tries to tell him that Martin spoke to him.
Wondering what to do with him, Matthias, tells Abbott Mortimer that he wants to be like Martin... a great warrior!
Abbott then tells Matthias about how Martin gave up fighting, after reaching Redwall.
(You can see that sort of adventure in Martin The Warrior)
After
telling Matthias to stop dreaming and resume work, Abbott Mortimer also
makes sure that he reminds Matthias for a habit that fits.
Matthias
returns to work, for Abbott Mortimer's jubeliee feast, but as Matthias
leaves, the Abbott looks at the tapestry, and notices something on the
right side... Cluny the Scourge, who is already making his way to
Redwall!
An hour later, the Redwallers have their feast.
Afterward, Abbott Mortimer sends Matthias, Constance and Cornflower on a special job.
As
the three finish their task, while walking in the woods, and just as
they make their way back, they hear the thunder of a horse.
Luckily not to be seen, Cornflower and Constance see the rats on the cart, and Matthias recognizes them!
After getting back, Constance tells everyone else what they had seen.
Knowing
he's seen them before, Matthias decides that everyone should fight the
rats, but before anything could be considered, they hear pounding on the
door, and Matthias immeadiately fears who it is!
On a pillar
above the abbey door, the look down to see the rats, and at first
refused to go in, the rats are then brought into the abbey by Abbott
Mortimer.
Once inside, Cluny unveils his hood, demands the abbey to him, and orders Dark Claw to read the articles of surrender.
Dark
Claw finishes reading the first three rules, and is just reading the
4th, when Matthias shouts "I AM THAT IS!!", and tears the rules in half,
with his staff!
Cluny then notices the tapestry of Martin, and
before he can do anything else, he's ordered by Constance to leave the
abbey, and says he will have is revenge!
http://youtu.be/_T0BcXdP_30
Part 2
This is part 2 of the Redwall movie, whereafter Cluny is ordered out of
the Abbey, he orders Shadow to get the tapestry of Martin the warrior.
In
front of the tapestry, though, Matthias is talking to Martin, not only
realizing what he did to Cluny, even though he hates him for what he's
done, but Matthias also asks Martin why he spoke to him, and sadly adds
that he's no-one and has nothing.
As Cornflower approaches
Matthias, she sympathizes Matthias' feelings and realizes that Matthias
has Compassion and a noble heart.
As Matthias notices Cluny on
the tapestry, wondering what it's supposed to mean, Cornflower tells him
not to fear Cluny, because he saw Matthias' courage and was scared Not
only of Matthias himself, but of his spirit, too.
Outside, once Shadow makes it to the roof, Matthias and cornflower leave, and Matthias goes to find Methusula.
No sooner do they leave, the torches are suddenly doused by Shadow, and he begins to cut off the tapestry with Martin on it!
Matthias
has just stepped into a hallway with stairs, then after hearing
Martin's voice, he realizes that Shadow is stealing the tapestry!
Matthias races after Shadow in order to take it back!
Unable
to retrieve it, Matthias loses the tapestry to Shadow and Cluny, who
later at night has nightmares about Martin/Matthias attacking and
killing him.
By morning, as Cornflower is bandaging Matthias'
head, Methusula tells them about Martin's sword, and Matthias thinks
that if only it could be found, then there would be a real fighting
chance against Cluny.
After finding out about the words, "I Am
That Is", which was above Martin's head in the tapestry, in attempt to
find out about the secret code, Matthias says that it was what Martin
said to him.
Before anything else can be said, Constance walks in with 3-month old Colin, and says that Cluny has the Vole family.
As
Constance and Methusula leave, Cornflower gives Matthias her kitchen
knife, and though Matthias gently refuses to take it, at first, he then
accepts it, and Cornflower promises not to tell Matthias where he's
gone.
At Cluny's camp, he orders the vole family locked up in the
old church, then he orders his troops high aloft, and the plank in
position, to strike on the Abbey, hoping to see how well, they'll fight!

Brave hits theaters on June 22nd, 2012.
Cast: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Craig Ferguson, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Robbie Coltrane
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.
