The original series had that well enough, as did the first movie, but here it's just way, way too much. Third, the show is a little too self-aware. The original also had some that it could have done without, but at least there it was almost an afterthought - here, flatulence and urination abound. Second, it could have done without the crude humor. In short, the script had the seed of a good idea, but needed quite a bit of reworking. The overall movie is (mercifully) short already, but this could have been made up for by giving a little more attention to the Mean Lion (how did the miss a reference to "The Wiz" on that one?) and working his subplot a little more closely into the main plot. To begin with, the first twenty minutes of the film could have been compressed into just five or maybe ten. There are just so many things wrong with this movie.
