Combines elements of The Wizard of Oz, The Marvelous Land of Oz, and Ozma of Oz, the first second, and third books of L. Frank Baum's Oz series. However, the name Ojo (but not the character attached to it) comes from the seventh volume The Patchwork Girl of Oz.
Only now catching up with Emerald City. I originally thought it would be a trite version of the original Wizard of Oz but was pleasantly surprised by a fresh and interesting fantasy. Vincent O'Onofrio's wizard steals every scene while the performances of the rest of cast makes this series a worthwhile investment. Puzzling why there was no sequel but in my opinion Emerald City as a story (or a long movie) comfortably stands alone.
