Wicked (2016)

Wicked (2016) is a upcoming movie. Its an animated musical adaption of the broadway musical Wicked. Itfeatures special appearances from 2 of the original cast members.

Development
In 2014 Disney got permission to do a live action version of the Wicked musical. Disney was criticized on "dumbing down" the musical, but Disney said they weren't going to change anything except a little extra dialogue in some scenes.

The cast of the movie was considered and the costumes were being made. Disney paid a lot of money for special effects and costume material. They also had to struggle with fitting in the Clock of Time Dragon stage which they said they wanted to do. They brain stormed on the idea and debated on if they should include it or not. The original idea would be the audience would see the play as a big stage, but it was scrapped. One worker suggested the idea of 3 friends sneaking up to a clock tower only to learn the story of Wicked. The idea was in development and Disney announced it to the public. Though it was still considered of the idea of them just being in a school production of the Wizard of Oz.

The movie continued in development after that including the cast of the 3 friends. All they had was the 3 friends, but after drawing concept art of the costumes Disney artists loved how it looked. They continued to draw pictures out of the original casts' like ness and fell in love with the idea. Disney then revealed the movie would be a animated musical except for the part with the 3 friends.

They were criticized again, but fans still freaked out when it was announced Indiana Menzel would reprise Elphaba in the musical. Kristen Chenoweth got on board when she found out Indiana was going to. The rest of the casts was concidered and they finally found the roles to play the animated characters. The girl that currently plays Nessaroe on broad way revealed she would be playing her character in the movie.

 * The scene when Galinda changed to Glinda is sung and turned into a song called "The Name Change"
 * The scene when Fiyero says "let the green girl go!". Unlike the musical he adds "Or else!"
