Building up shock value and taboo material when it's nothing more than the story of a clown who's lost his way and finds God thanks to a magical flute and his closest confidants - who just so happen to be talking forest animals!
It's like that new David Lynch movie. Straight Story. I know why he made it. Because he had exhausted anything truly shocking he could do, so he made this squeaky-clean G rated movie, and it in itself served as the shock value. Bryan Johnson did this, as the View Askew movies to be seen by the public have been pretty shocking thus far (language wise, at least).
