Wicked
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Wicked (movie/musical version).
Elphaba and Fiyero go out into the woods somewhere near Shiz and set the lion cub free.
Throughout the encounter, Elphaba is only gentle and sympathetic towards the cub, showing deep compassion.
It also ignores Fiyero’s role, who is mostly considered a hero in Oz.
The lion still gets his gift from the wizard (Jeff Goldblum inWicked) and finds his confidence.

Wicked adapts the Broadway musical into a two-part film, following the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, born with green skin, and Glinda, a popular aristocrat, in the Land of Oz. As they navigate their contrasting paths, they evolve into Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
