The topiary lion takes a shit.

And the shit is leaves.

Its gross but funny but also done in a PG way.

I wanted that sense of magic and sweetness.

But in the end, the kid basically gets a shit taken on him with leaves.

Its one of those things thats so ridiculous, so unexpected.

Wait, did they just actually …?

You dont see that in a Spielberg movie.

You dont see kids getting shit on inmostmovies.

And its not taking itself too seriously.

But its still real in the context of this universe.

Thats just my humor, he concludes.
