In her spare time, Disney animator Heidi Jo Gilbert put together a sensational animated storyboard to pitch her studio and composer Stephen Schwartz on an animated adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked. For those unfamiliar with the musical, it's based on the book by Gregory Maguire and takes a look at The Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch's perspective.  Gilbert took arguably the musical's best number, "Defying Gravity", and transformed it into what could have been a rousing animated sequence.  Unfortunately for Ms. Gilbert and for all of us, I believe that Universal currently holds the screen rights to Wicked (as the project languishes in development hell looking for a director). Hit the jump to defy gravity in animated form.Images via Gilbert's official website.  Video via The Daily What.
