'The Wizard' (also known as 'Joy Stick Heroes' in Germany), is a 1989 adventure dramedy film starring Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, and Jenny Lewis. The film follows three children as they travel to California so the youngest, who has a condition that makes him emotionally withdrawn, can compete in a video game tournament. The film was also well known for being North America's introduction to what would become one of the best-selling video games of all time, Super Mario Bros. 3.

1.55 min. | 4.87 user rating		 A clip from Surrealist film "The Inconspicuous Furry Banana." Mia Crackpot and Iona Frisbee meet a wizard, who tells them a recipe to freeze time. But things go horribly wrong - instead of freezing time, they accidentally replace time with a tangerine! Then suddenly, they begin to experience vivid hallucinations. One of them believes they are an inconspicuous furry banana, and the other believes that they are half a metre long with wings that can fly. Together they believe that their mission is to meet the wizard master - and to save him from the imaginary sprites. Thanks to YouTube for the feature! Directed by Daniela Zappa.

It was created to fulfill a contractual obligation associated with Baum's personal bankruptcy caused by The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays, from which it was once thought to have been derived. It was partly based on the 1902 stage musical, though much of the film deals with the Wicked Witch of the West, who does not appear in the musical.
