Disney unveiled the trailer for  "Oz: The Great and The Powerful" at Comic-Con this week.

Director Sam Raimi clearly has a  knack for amazing visuals with an easy-on-the-eyes spectacular.

Based on the original books with a heavy nod to the 1939 Wizard of Oz film too, but there are some elements from that film won’t be in this movie,  like say ... the red slippers.

There are things like the air balloon that you’ll recognize though.

It looks like another big-budget film for Disney but the footage looks good enough and there are enough stars in this to draw people to the theater.
