I saw the movie today and let me just say, IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!
I was on the edge of my seat, and everything was amazing. The cast, the effects, the make up, the costumes you name it. This movie takes place in Kansas 1905 in a carnival circus. Now I've seen a lot of movies and they are all must see films, but this one, this movie reached my movie chart. Now one day you'll say to yourself "I wanna go & see a movie" and this is the movie I'd recommend. 5 Stars, great acting, a great Wizard of Oz  film with a hint of Snow White. Rated PG, and for children of all ages is also recommended! 
P.S,
Any children under the age of 6, might be a little scary.
