In meticulous detail, it moves Elphaba, Galinda, and the other characters through Emerald City in a trailer that takes a one-to-one approach, attempting to mimic not just the general characters but every single beat from theWickedtrailer. Even in the LEGO version, the trailer includes some special effects, including floating flowers and moments of explosion. TheWickedcharacters are also fairly accurate representations of what they look like in the film, from the green Elphaba skin to the blonde locks of Galinda. Even the Wizard seems to resemble Goldblum’s look, and the emerald curtain is shown in LEGO form.
Wicked’s LEGO Trailer Calls Attention To The Actual Trailer’s Impressive Visuals

8 Biggest Reveals From The Wicked Movie Trailer
The trailer for Wicked: Part One reveals a number of previously unseen characters, the colorful setting, story elements, and a major Dorothy change.
There is also something that even the well-done LEGOWickedtrailer is missing, and that is the VFX. While the LEGO trailer has its special effects moments, the notable lack of them draws attention to just how hard the realWickedtrailers have worked to showcase the film’s production quality. Magical swirls around characters as things float, flying monkeys leap through the air, and set pieces are given movement that is larger than life.
IfWickedcan maintain this level of visual prowess in the full film, audiences are in for quite the ride. The stage musical is known for its impressive elements, replete with animatronics and flying equipment for the show’s standout song “Defying Gravity.” With the power of cinematic tools such as VFX, audiences will have to use less energy to suspend disbelief as the phantasmagoria ofWicked’s Emerald City hits the big screen.
