About The Wizard of the Emerald City, Part I
Ellie lives in a distant city. One day, the evil witch Gingema conjured a hurricane that took Ellie and her dog Totoshka to the country of the Munchkins. To return home, Ellie and her friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion will set off along the yellow brick road to the Emerald City in search of the Wizard who will grant their cherished wishes.
Directed by Igor Voloshin, The Wizard of the Emerald City, Part I leans on a strong ensemble — Ekaterina Chervova, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Artur Vakha — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2025.
