* Creator/MargaretHamilton, who played the Wicked Witch, managed to give her character one of these when she appeared on ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'', so younger viewers could understand that the Wicked Witch wasn't real, just a nice old lady wearing a costume and playing pretend. True to form, Fred Rogers and Margaret talked about the Witch like she might have been if she had been a real person, and as nasty as she was, she was a very unhappy, lonely person who never got any of the things she wanted, and none of her victories made her happy.

* Dorothy's dream of Kansas on her first night in Oz, particularly the image of Uncle Henry and Aunt Em standing mournfully beside the foundation of their lost house after the cyclone. This TruerToTheText adaptation brings forth the FridgeHorror of Oz being a real place, and not AllJustADream as in the 1939 film: throughout Dorothy's time in Oz, Uncle Henry and Aunt Em are left to think their niece is dead.
