I didn't really have issues with this film until I read this quote from the producer, "And the second reason was -- during the years that I spent running Walt Disney Studios -- I learned about how hard it was to find a fairy tale with a good strong male protagonist. You've got your Sleeping Beauties, your Cinderellas and your Alices. But a fairy tale with a male protagonist is very hard to come by. But with the origin story of the Wizard of Oz, here was a fairy tale story with a natural male protagonist. Which is why I knew that this was an idea for a movie that was genuinely worth pursuing."

That quote alone made me want to boycott the movie, so I haven't seen it.

I don't think he understands what a fairy tale is.

Right. Because The Wizard of Oz isn't a fairy tale. It was a book written in fairy tale tradition, but it is not a fairy tale.

Alice in Wonderland isn't a fairy tale either. Errgghh.

Lol, that guy hasn't read many fairy tales.
I have a big fat book that has fairy tales from around the world and it's got a shit ton of male leads (oftentimes the story is only about men, with women only being there as side characters).

So yeah, excuses excuses.

But you didn't miss out on anything.
That movie was a pain to watch. The visuals were great but the performances were painful and the character motivations were weird. Also, the "love story" made me laugh. It seriously opens with the fact that one of the witches is instantly in love with the protagonist.
This movie would have benefited from "show don't tell".

How many actual fairy tales has he actually read? o.0 Most of the fairy tales I've read are about men who overcome obstacles in order to save the day for themselves and/or everyone else. The men are sometimes surrounded by women, but those tend to exist only as backstory, motivation, temptation and threats to the hero: mothers, love interests, witches. And resourceful helpers; those are probably the ones that come the closest to playing an active role, but the hero would still usually get all the glory (AFAICR).
