The heavens have darkened on Oz and Glinda and fire explodes towards them from some foreboding clouds. This is way more intimidating than some hag sky-writing “Surrender Oz.” Then we see Oz and his little friends being accosted by some botanical ancestor to Audrey II, but perhaps that confrontation occurred earlier on their journey? Finally, the flying monkeys — or perhaps more precisely in this case, flying olive baboons. Looks like Evanora is commanding them to fly, but tough to be absolutely sure…
Edgar Allen Poe would appreciate these two ravens that warn Oz and his companions that danger lies ahead. “Did those crows just say we’re gonna die?” asks bellhop monkey. Yes, they did, but don’t act so surprised, you talking monkey who pals around with a walking doll.
