That makes sense as to why they left a lot of things out. I kept waiting for the ruby slippers to show up somewhere, or one someone humming one of the melodies from the old songs. They didn't even put the mole on the witches face, which I found odd but I'm guessing that was a legal issue too. So yea, if they had limits put on them it totally makes sense why it lacked as a solid prequel. It probably would have been much, much better if they were allowed to reference whatever they wanted. Though, I still didn't care for the casting of the witches. Rachel Weisz looked like a wicked Snow White and Mila Kunis was a poor choice for a witch.
