This colorful
VeggieTales twist on
The Wizard of Oz reworks the Biblical parable of the
Prodigal Son, as taught by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. At the center of the movie is the character of
Darby, the son of a Kansan floss farmer, who wishes to travel to the strange and enchanted land of Ha's and to meet the
Wizard who can make dreams come true - though doing so means directly disobeying his father's orders. Once there, he meets a series of characters including a cotton candy-loving lion and a tin man who loves roller coasters. Just like the
Prodigal Son, however,
Darby will soon learn the meaning of heeding his father's wisdom - and the value of parental forgiveness.
