This animated movie (also featuring the vocal talents of Jane Horrocks, Tim Curry, and Bobcat Goldthwait) is a musical with five original songs and a prequel to the classic film.

    Also known as The Lion of Oz and the Badge of Courage, this animated adventure — billed as a prequel to the events of The Wizard of Oz — suffers from an excess of contrivance. Yet the vocal talents on duty are impressive. Jason Priestley voices the heroic circus lion who becomes increasingly cowardly on his travels, while Jane Horrocks plays the little girl who helps him resist the wiles of Lynn Redgrave's Wicked Witch of the East. Tim Curry, Don DeLuise and Bob Goldthwait add to the fun. But don't expect the cartoon equivalent of The Wizard of Oz; this is much flimsier in its construction.
