Lion of Oz

(2000)

This lion goes for a balloon ride with some idiot and ends up falling out in the land of Oz. Since he's wearing a medal with a big "C" on it everyone assumes he's courageous, even though for all they know the C just means he won runner-up in a calypso contest or is named "Clarence" or something. At any rate, the Wicked Witch of the East shows up and forces the lion to go on a quest to find the "Flower of Oz". Along the way he meets a super-annoying red thing that looks like a broken Tickle Me Elmo, a couple of puppets, a chick, and a bunch of Mini Munchkins.* In the end it turns out that the Flower of Oz was really the chick the whole time, which means the only question now is who, exactly, gets to deflower her. I was rooting for the lion, but the movie pretty much ends here so we never get to find out. Just when it was about to get good, too. What a crock of shit.

*"Mini Munchkins" sounds like it would be some sort of treat, doesn't it? Like maybe little balls of ice cream dipped in chocolate? Man, that sounds good. I don't think you should refer to yourselves as something that sounds so much like food when you're a foot tall and hanging around a lion.
