** Before they even enter the Dark Forest, our heroes are welcomed by two crows who, rather than normal cawing, squawk out what sounds a lot like the promise "You'll die! You'll die!"

* When running through the forest, Oscar accidentally bumps into Finley and sends the China Girl flying into the air. She screams in genuine fear for someone to catch her. It's an unnerving reminder of how she has to spend her days in fear of being broken, or worse smashed into pieces.

* On a related note, the moment when Oz picks up a piece of china, only to discover it's the face of one of the broken denizens. This is particularly horrifying [[FridgeHorror when you remember]] that [[WordOfGod in at least some of Baum's books]], [[FateWorseThanDeath no one in Oz]] [[AndIMustScream can actually die]]. So either the China village citizens were ''all destroyed'', or they were stuck in pieces, unable to move or help themselves, until someone (probably Glinda) glued them back together again.
** Which means, there is still hope of China Girl getting her family back! (If the movie follows the book canon, by the time Dorothy arrives, China Country is repaired and more or less back to normal -- with the addition of full time menders).
*** This actually makes perfect canon sense; in the movie the China Country is just a regular village, in the original book it was hidden inside a massive china bowl you could only enter by climbing a ladder. Seems like Glinda gave extra precautions to help avoid another tragedy.
*** Although the book canon states that, if they leave the China Country, the porcelain people stiffen into porcelain figurines. Then again, the China Doll Princess may have been saying that just because Dorothy expressed an interest in taking her back to Kansas...
*** [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming But in the meantime, she's happy with the family she's got now.]]

He doesn't know much about the land of Oz and its magic, but he knows just enough to realise that something horrific has happened here.

** More Like World War One, as Dorothy wasn't there yet. But it's still disturbing.

** The flying baboons, at one point in the climax, attack a bunch of "warriors," shredding them to pieces. [[spoiler:They were only scarecrows,]] but at one point a baboon ''tears out'' ones throat. Thank Glinda for planning ahead.

* The poor China Girl before Oz and Finley find her in China Town. How long was she sitting in that house surrounded by the shattered pieces of her family and friends, unable to get away because her own legs were broken?
** According to her, one night.
