Oz Historians React to WICKED Trailer #2

Oz Historians Ryan Jay and Tori Calamito react to the official WICKED movie trailer #2 - released on September 5, 2024.

[@jeffblue19_2.0]

The International trailer #2 has SO MANY new and different scenes and really focuses on the animal rights part of the story. It even shows the chalkboard with "ANIMALS SHOULD BE SEEN NOT HEARD" written on it. Please react to that one!

[@pedroneto4145]

Yess pleaseee

[@noelmaisonet]

I can’t find it! They censor everything in American. Do you have a link to the international trailer

[@noelmaisonet]

Okay I found it!! And wow!! It’s like a completely different trailer! Thanks for mentioning

[@fbueller]

@@noelmaisonet It truly is a must watch!

[@da96103]

There was a bit of violence in the International Trailer concerning a certain animal character.

[@anthonywilliamromeo2228]

I love how they added the "witch" music when she puts the hat on. It's almost the same melody of that they used in the WOZ. (39:24)

[@OliveNLuv]

@@anthonywilliamromeo2228 Actually, it’s the same melody, as was explained!!!

[@ginneybilbray]

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one crying during the trailers LOL!

[@wanderingseth]

I ugly-cried the whole way through haha. I've never had that reaction to a trailer. I was literally sobbing. Tears, snot, everything haha

[@kell_checks_in]

I would love to see theatres showing the 1939 MGM film and Wicked I as a double feature. It could even be a lesson for kids (don't tell them) in seeing stories from a variety of perspectives.

[@angelapolly1]

i plan to show my 8 (almost 9 yr old daughters) the original again before seeing this Part 1 movie of Wicked.

[@OliveNLuv]

I love the "sweet Oz" during the "you're green" scene!!! It's subtle, but I heard it!!!

[@taylorpoirier1765]

15:17 I could’ve swore it was a dog in there when I first saw it. I realized it was the lion cub but goodness that was brilliant

[@jakeholmes9618]

I wonder if Glinda gasping seeing shiz is actually her starting to sing “old” as she normally enters in dear old shiz

[@wanderingseth]

I unexpectedly started ugly-crying about 20 seconds in, and was still a mess five minutes after. Maybe I need a cry, but still. The first film I saw was The Wizard of Oz at age 4, I owned all 14 Oz books by Baum and a few of the Thompson ones, I first saw Wicked on Broadway in 2005, I saw Idina play Elphaba in London in 2007, I met Gregory Maguire... this is so emotional for me.

[@angelapolly1]

i’m oh my goodness, sooo much great insight regarding the music which i cannot get enough of in these trailers. i can’t wait to hear the 7 pieces hidden in the score and hope you’ll do a video on them after the movie comes out in case i can’t recognize them all. brilliant!

[@Miss_wicked]

Why didn't they talk about the fact that the "witch theme from the movie of 39" is in the movie? Like I loved that reference

[@joseitohirose-5428]

They did 14:16

[@jaimekay]

Here from TikTok, I am so excited for wicked! It’s going to be so great. All the details are so perfect and everyone involved is so passionate about it and it shows.

[@ballerinafromtheblock]

I just GASPED at the miss gultch theme literally shocked

[@courtneythompson6179]

I enjoyed hearing the musical percussion more than I thought I would

[@blainedavis8819]

There’s a brasil trailer that’s totally different!! It shows Dr. Dilly!!! A lot!!!

[@RashaundaManning]

My theory is that Diana Ross is in the wicked movie as a cameo and that elphaba older version might be Diana Ross at the end

[@MICHAEL-s9w2d]

@@RashaundaManning don't be silly , she is 100 !

[@matthines4748]

You should check out the Wicked Trailer 2, Brazil. It’s so much more and very different. Adds so much more texture.

[@mastersword648]

I’d really love a reaction to the international trailer, it’s very different!

[@fbueller]

7:24. Would love to watch this in the theater with Tori!

[@willem9538]

With regards to the international trailers, countries that have had the musical translated and performed locally use the lyrics from the translations. The German trailer uses a couple of lines from Defying Gravity in German, same for the Flemish (Dutch) trailer and the Mexican trailer.

[@Jrsdigest]

What I loved about my first time watching the stage musical is not knowing who the antagonists were and being shocked. I wish they would removed the following lines from future trailers: "Don't let her get away...this wicked witch" & "It's the wizard who should be afraid of me." Or they should have those play in the background as audio without showing who is saying those lines.

[@EdwardWinters-l4o]

Tori has emerald eyes. Love this. Wicked the movie is going to be the new Wizard of Oz.

[@robbytheplaywright]

“I think the thing out of glindas suitcase is like you said a ball like the quaffle for “you’ll be good at sports.”

[@alexmercer674]

Never saw the stage musical. My hearinf sucks as pee hearing aids But this last part of the trailer that simply allows the vocals to carry thru is wonderful

[@scod9746]

Thanks for doing such a good job covering Oz news!

[@reneepope-munro8115]

Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to/break down the international trailer?

[@jakeholmes9618]

In popular, with the “quaffle” I’m assuming will be for “good at sports” and we see them being much sportier in other shots also !

[@angelapolly1]

I wish they’d just show the entire movie instead of breaking it up into part 1 and part 2 separated by a whole year.

[@kell_checks_in]

It would be interesting to somehow survey readers and find out how many people did not finish reading Maguire's novel. I found it to be incredibly cynical and depressing, with no likeable characters, and to have a level of emotionless and irresponsible sexual promiscuity that simply does not resonate with most people. I think a lot of people bought it thinking it was going to be a fun read and then couldn't bear to finish it because it's just so cringe and weird and icky. What actually sold most of the copies of the novel, which initially sold only 500,000 copies, was the success of the entirely different, far more life-affirming, stage musical. Winnie Holzman is the mother of what we see in the musical and will see in the film, even though she kept some of Mcguire's names. It's a shame she doesn't get the primary credit for this far more successful and worthwhile work. It's also deeply concerning that there's going to be a release of Maguire's novel coincident with the movie because a lot of people, including parents, are going to buy it thinking it's something that it's not. And that doesn't even get us into the issue of how many will let their kids read it, not realizing it's R/NC-17 rated as well as horribly cold and cynical.

[@fbueller]

I actually forgot about all the sex in the book!

[@michaelhardwick2928]

Please react to the INTERNATIONAL trailer released yesterday too!

[@starquilt]

I am so excited for this movie! November cannot come soon enough.

[@lastkryptonbaby]

EXCELLENT VIDEO ✨thank you 🙏 🫶

[@bazzi3473]

just check out the new german trailer, there are some new scenes wich are not in this trailer

[@Charlierose214]

I wonder if Antonio Banderas and or Melanie grifitth might have a little cameo since Gregory thought of Antonio as foyer and Melanie was the inspiration for Malinda's voice

[@adamgriffith9114]

Where in wicked can you hear if I only had a brain? Dancing through life I assume?

[@BryanMcclerren]

Ok, I have looked everywhere, where can you get the pink goes good with green sweatshirt with the silver lettering that Tori is wearing?

[@joey4grande]

im looking for the shirt that ryan is wearing…. I think that tori’s is the aerie collection…. do u have any info for ryans shirt pls

[@mrlij6534]

Everyone seems to have slept on return to Oz, i always loved that movie, horror fantasy sequel from the 80s

[@davidgrahamchannel]

I will never look at the white cliffs of Dover in the same way again. So the entrance to the school in Oz is through the White Cliffs of Dover. Who knew? 😂. The White Cliffs of Dover are in England, for those who don’t know. Well, the cliffs are part of Englands coastline. There’s even a famous World War II song called the White Cliffs of Dover. Do have a listen to that song if you haven’t heard it. Love the new trailer on your reactions to it.

[@DavidJPont]

How did y’all find the ornaments? I went online and can’t find them anywhere for preorder

[@MettnerIsHere]

Where did you get that Pink Goes Good With Green sweatshirt?

[@da96103]

Another parallel to this election is that Kamala's sorority colors are PINK AND GREEN!!

[@kristianliljegren7614]

OMG! On Universal Pictures Sweden's official KZbin account there is another 2nd official trailer, with new scenes and more of Dr Dillamond! I don't know if it is available globally, or not, but here's a link, for those who want to see it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OUc6SPa6akepo

[@christopherfelipe60]

It’s to early to say for Oscar nominations but I am hoping it’s a good film. Tropes and Easter eggs do not make a good movie it’s pure exhibitions. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@joey4grande]

Please does anyone know where we can get ryans shirt and also tori’s?!?

[@romeostruedude]

Just hope they make it different from the musical cuz I like the musical but I felt like the novel had more teeth to it. Elphaba in the book actually TURNS into the wicked witch. She just lets that identity define her. A tragedy but that’s why we love her. But I get it. We gotta feel sympathy for the villains now and I wish that wasn’t the case.

[@wgratza]

I’m paranoid that they were using autotune at the end there.

[@Nobobase5068]

I’m hoping that it’s more to do with them manipulating the tempo/pitch of the audio to fit the pace of the trailer because it almost feels distorted rather than autotuned

[@cookieguygaming]

I’m really curious how Defying Gravity’s gonna play out cos on stage, she’s in the air, but she’s static. In this she’s gonna be zipping around the sky’s. So when do we get to see her sing and when do we see her fly.
