Why would you want the Cowardly Lion to have a name? Why does he NEED to have a name? The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman don't have names (well, Tin Man later does in one of the Baum books, but it's hardly important in the first one).

I believe it was Steven Spielberg who suggested to Katzenberg that he should produce an animated version of The Ten Commandments, wasn't it?
Both could be true, I'm not sure but it could make sense.

It was probably Spielberg, though. I have the movie from Netflix now, but it says nothing of Katzenberg turning the Project away.

We're talking about feature animated movies, not sequels.

Doesn't have to be excataly like MGM's verison, have the Sherman Bros/John Willaims write up the score/lyrics. The Lion can actualy have a name along with Tin Man/ScareCrow.
This is the one that was pitched on the one episode of Mickey Mouse club right? Or wait a minute, it wasn't an episode of the Mickey Mouse club, I think it was just the Mouseketeers presenting it.
I'd have loved to have seen how Disney's "The Rainbow Road to Oz" panned out, especially with Darlene Gillespie as Dorothy and Annette Funicello as Princess Ozma. There is a fantastic article concerning the project on the Jim Hill website. :)
