When a circus magician from Kansas is whisked away to a magical place, he must
learn who is good and who is evil.
This is the story of how Oz, the Wizard, came to be — and although it is rated PG,
I would strongly suggest parents preview the trailer first as there is quitea bit of
action and discussion of good vs. evil.
From Up on Poppy Hill

The story of how a group of Japanese teenagers save their school from being
