Want to hear what kids really think of the second ‘Wicked’ movie? Wicked is a hugely popular multimedia franchise with millions of fans worldwide and over the rainbow. I feel comfortable saying my two daughters—aged nine and eight—are in the top five percent of obsessive Wicked fans. They have Wicked dolls, brooms, and pointy hats. They sing Wicked songs while cleaning their rooms, or driving to visit grandparents, or whenever there are six or seven quiet seconds in our house.
My youngest had a Wicked-themed birthday party when she was six—before the Broadway musical about the witches of Oz became a movie. They performed “What Is This Feeling?” together at their school’s talent show last spring—in costume and green face paint. They saw Wicked: For Good on November 17, 2025, exactly one year from when they saw Wicked. In the 365 days in between, I doubt five days went by without some acknowledgement of the movies, the show, or The Wizard of Oz. So while I have my own thoughts about the sequel’s quality, the review I most wanted to hear was theirs. Now that my kids are starting to get older, I love taking them to press screenings with me—and even more than that, I love talking to them afterwards about the movies we see.
Original tone preserved through candid, kid-centered reflections on Wicked: For Good.
