There was no need to include such a scary, confusing, depressing and off message scene in a Children’s Cartoon.
That would be like taking the Wizard of Oz, and shooting a scene with Dorothy being carried to the Munchkin Hospital by The Tin Man, to have her Munchkin Doctors perform an emergency hysterectomy.
The panicked Scarecrow is tased by Security for causing a scene in the Operating Theater. The Cowardly Lion faints into a coma at the first whiff of rubbing alcohol and must be revived by a choir of Fairies.
A la movie Wicked
