Realize it is two pictures and seven sentences

  • One picture matches 3 sentences (in the fox and dog orientation, 4 sentences have underlines)

  • The other picture matches 4 sentences (in the other orientation, no underlines)

Realize one picture is THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG

  • This is the picture which orientation has 3 underlined sentences

  • Each sentence has all occurrences of some letters removed and replaced with dots (the WIZARD sentences just have the letters removed, no dots)

All sentences read

Final step

  • YOUR ANSWER THIS MOVIE'S NUCLEAR BLAST SHIELD --> WHAT WAS IT?

  • FRIDGE/REFRIGERATOR --> CORRECT

Hinting:

  • "Grumpy wizards make toxic brew for the evil Queen and Jack" is hard to find online if you're just searching for it. If you tell them that the name of a sentence with every letter of the alphabet is a Pangram, "pangram wizard queen" is enough to get you there.

    • This shouldn't be necessary; QUICK BROWN FOX is the break-in, and from that alphabet, solvers should be able to piece together the GRUMPY WIZARDS pangram by superposition.
