Review Summary

A young circus lion travels via hot air balloon to the wonderous land of Oz. There, he is separated from his friend Oscar and runs into the Wicked Witch of the East, who forces the lion to bring her the legendary Flower of Oz. Along the way, the Lion runs into new friends and learns about courage. A musical feature with five original songs, and a prequel to the classic musical film.
