Tale

Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. After an encounter with the Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads. Cynthia Erivo in “Wicked” and more actors who completely transformed themselves for their roles. The wicked witch’s name, Elphaba, came from the phonetic pronunciation of the initials L-F-B of the original “Wizard of Oz” author L. Frank Baum, which became Elphaba. Glinda: Don’t be afraid. Elphaba: I’m not afraid. The wizard should be afraid of me. The Universal Pictures logo features the globe in pink (for Glinda) and the company name in green (for Elphaba). The background of the galaxy nebula is grayish-black. Seen in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Chip n’B Dale: A New Legacy (2022).
