mygreenelixr: ozconfessions: A new map of Oz Disney created for the upcoming film Oz the Great and Powerful. Notice how the Munchkin Country is incorrectly in the West. This was most likely the result of the map maker replicating the incorrect Oz map from the books.  There’s no Shiz on the map, or the Uplands or Upper Uplands, and I swear Winkie country and Munchkin country were the other way round… Glinda would definitely not live in Quadling country… It’s not entirely based on “Wicked” (I don’t think it legally could be), but the style looks to be based on the “Wicked” map. Glinda living in the Quadling Country is one bit they actually took from Baum.

jaredofmo: ozconfessions: A new map of Oz Disney created for the upcoming film Oz the Great and Powerful. Notice how the Munchkin Country is incorrectly in the West. This was most likely the result of the map maker replicating the incorrect Oz map from the books.  I reject this map as any type of official Oz canon. For this movie and any sequels, okay. But not for anything else! Totally a rip-off of the “Wicked” map, right down to the alternate spelling for Oogaboo. And why is the China Country in the Munchkin County instead of the Quadling? At least they mention the Wogglebug.

ufansius: World Map - Heinrich Bunting, circa 1600By the time Bunting made this map the tradition of centering such maps on Jerusalem had almost disappeared. America makes an appearance at lower left; also note the Red Sea, the pink area between the bases of the Asia and Africa leaves of the shamrock.
