In this version, Manny Kin, Metal Guy, and Mystical Mountain Lion, figures adapted from the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion respectively, pursue self-improvement in the form of "smarts", love, and power. Dotty (Dorothy) only wants to find a way back home, and eventually finds it down a path none of the others are willing to follow. Many of the elements of Oz are present in altered form: John Fornof wrote the script.
