Brian Roberts (10)

A send-up of The Wizard of Oz, this VeggieTale illustrates the biblical parable of the prodigal son. Young Darby wants to go to the Wizard of Ha's amusement park with his pet pig Tutu, but his hard-working, dental-floss farming pa doesn't want him to use piggy-bank savings on a fleeting pleasure. So, Darby rebels. Snatching his bank and pet, he heads for roller-coaster heaven. On the way, a tornado lands Darby in magical Munchee land and "fat-free" fairy Splenda shows Darby the way via the Yellow McToad (an old Scottish frog). There are no scary flying monkeys, fields of poppy, or evil green witches. But there is a scarecrow, tin man, and lion, and a desire to go home. Only in this case, Darby thinks he can't go home, because he's disobeyed and disappointed his father. But as anyone familiar with the prodigal son story knows, the father welcomes Darby home with open arms. (from common sense media)… (mehr)
