* CreatorBacklash: Jenny Lewis considers her involvement with this movie to be mediocre at best, particularly after she established herself as the lead singer of indie rock group Music/RiloKiley. In [[http://defgav.com/rilokiley/articles/lunchdate.html an interview]] from 2003, Lewis described ''The Wizard'' as something that she wished people would stop asking her about, noting "That's cool and all, and that was fun, but it just gets like, a bit annoying because I feel like I have more interesting things to say." In [[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/jenny-lewis-on-the-line-new-album-interview-800113/ a 2019 interview]] with ''Rolling Stone'', Lewis explained that she was uncomfortable with her association with ''The Wizard'' because early in Rilo Kiley's career, hecklers would show up to their concerts just to yell video game references at her.
