| Recorded in Japan in the spring of [[2002]], while promoting ''[[Maladroit]]'', ''The Lion and the Witch'' was released on [[September 24]] of that same year - exactly six years after the release of ''[[Pinkerton]]''. It was distributed as a limited edition release in independently owned music stores with only 25,000 copies having been made.

| Like ''Maladroit'', the marketing of this EP caused a rift with Weezer's [[Geffen Records|record label]]. The band wanted an eight-song EP with a unique packaging that wouldn't involve crystal cases. Geffen told the band that the packaging idea was too expensive and the number of songs on the EP needed to be reduced from eight songs to six as to not upset the other retailers who wouldn't be getting the disc. The artwork and packaging stuck but the disc's length was reduced to six songs including a "hidden track." This hidden track was an instrumental track titled "[[Polynesia]]" that opens the disc.
