** Another blatant reference to ''Film/ReturnToOz'' is when the Scarecrow comments on how Dorothy and Ozma are NotSoDifferent, claiming (much to Dorothy's dismay) that "you could be each other's mirror images."

* The third season has a ton of references to ''Film/ReturnToOz''. Most notably, Billina sneaks into the room where Princess Langwidere keeps her extra heads, to look for the key to Dorothy's cell, figuring that the Langwidere will keep important things in the same place as her original head. She's most indignant when she finds out that Langwidere actually had the key in her pocket the whole time.

* Perhaps an unintentional reference, but in the third season, Billina comments that Princess Langwidere changes her heads "like hats." In the [[Anime/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz 1986 anime]] Langwidere's thirty heads had famously been [[LighterAndSofter softened]] down to a collection of hats that she kept changing depending on her mood.
* While on the road to Ev, the Scarecrow comments how different the landscape is from the first journey he was on and adds "Music/GoodbyeYellowBrickRoad!" Dorothy dryly asks him how long he's been waiting to say that.

Added DiffLines:

''The Chronicles of Oz'' contains a lot of references to the expanded Oz canon and the various adaptations that have been made over the years. The [[Film/TheWizardOfOz 1939 movie]] probably gets the most references, usually by a character referencing a line or a song from the movie, or events from the movie being alluded to (and in some cases being dismissed as too ludicrous), but there are a lot of other references too, to other Oz stories and adaptations:
* The Tin Woodman's characterization as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold recalls how he was characterized in the ''WesternAnimation/TalesOfTheWizardOfOz'' cartoon.
* The Wicked Witch of the West has an assistant called Ugu, who's named for the villain of ''The Lost Princess of Oz.''
* A conversation between Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West name-drops Queen Zixi of Ix as a mutual former friend.
* The Guardian of the Gates is given the name "Faramant," which is the name he was given in Alexander Volkov's ''Literature/TalesOfTheMagicLand''. Likewise, the Queen of the Field Mice is named "Ramina," like she was in that series.
* "What did the Woggle-Bug say?", which is repeated a few times by several characters, was originally a recurring contest question from the newspaper serial ''Queer Visitors from the Marvelous Land of Oz.''
* In one conversation between her and Locasta, Glinda says she's never strived to be [[Literature/{{Wicked}} popular.]] It's also revealed that she and the Wicked Witch of the West used to be friends.
* Fans of the original book have speculated for years that the unidentified liquid the Wizard gave to the Cowardly Lion was booze. This adaptation makes it ''blatant'' that it's moonshine, and the Lion spends the rest of the episode acting drunk.
* In a flashback sequence in the second season, the Wizard tells the Wicked Witch of the West that [[Literature/{{Wicked}} "nobody mourns the wicked."]]
* The second season contains a lot of quotes and song titles from the ''Woggle-Bug'' stage musical.
* In the second season when everyone is riding the Gump, Tip laments that he didn't build it well enough, to which the Tin Woodman replies, [[Film/{{Return to Oz}} "it can't be helped now."]]
* In the second season, the Scarecrow is talking about visiting Munchkinland, and he says that they can just "[[Theatre/TheWiz ease on down the Road]]".
* The third season has a ton of references to ''Film/ReturnToOz''. Most notably, Billina sneaks into the room where Princess Langwidere keeps her extra heads, to look for the key to Dorothy's cell, figuring that the Langwidere will keep important things in the same place as her original head. She's most indignant when she finds out that Langwidere actually had the key in her pocket the whole time.
