* SpiritualSuccessor: This is show basically is a threefer.
** On one extent the idea of Warner Bros Animation doing an Oz series was clearly being tested in the WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry CrossOver and it's sequel.
** Next it can be argued cartoons like this aka loose {{Animated Adaptation}}s happen to have been a regular occurrence at the [[Creator/HannaBarbera studio]] Warner Bros Animation is easily seen to be a SpiritualSuccessor to in the modern day by heavily utilizing legacy characters of both their own studio and the studio they started at, MGM.
** Lastly and most forgotten, things produced for MGM after the end of the original cartoon studio are also MGM legacy properties. In the 1960s MGM had Creator/ChuckJones create animated versions of the Oz characters for the show "Off To See The Wizard". Making this show as much of a legacy MGM animated property as the cat and mouse mentioned above.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNationality: Several characters who were explicitly American in the books are here native to Oz.
** Both Billina and Eureka were brought to Oz by Dorothy in the books, but here they already live in Oz. Eureka even comes from a village of cats.
** Cap'n Bill, Trot and Button-Bright were all Americans in the books (Button-Bright was from Philadelphia, Trot and Cap'n Bill from California), but here they seem to be native to Sky Island. In addition, Trot and Button-Bright speak with ''British'' accents.
* AgeLift: In the books, Cap'n Bill is at least past middle age. Here he's a young boy.

Added DiffLines:

* GladIThoughtOfIt: On occasion, Frank will point out a rather logical detail pertaining to a given task (e.g. steal the slippers while Dorothy's sleeping, as no one wears shoes in bed). If she likes it, Wilhelmina immediately takes credit for whatever he said and pats herself on the back for being a genius.


Added DiffLines:

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Ozma possesses a Copy Cat charm that allows her to duplicate anything or anyone. The Wicked Witch wants to use it to create a new army of Flying Monkeys, but Wilhelmina opts to create numerous duplicates of herself instead. The Wilhel-army as she calls it proves quite useful but also very annoying to the original, due to each copy trying to take charge and engaging in assorted quirks that sidetrack them from the task at hand.


Added DiffLines:

* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Wilhelmina lets it slip in "The Wizard Gets Witched" that she has this view of the Wicked Witch. She's helping her aunt trick the Wizard into marriage just to "finally, finally, ''finally''" get the castle to herself again.


Added DiffLines:

* WrongGenreSavvy: Scarecrow spends the first half of "Brain Power of Love" gibbering like an idiot whenever he sees Patchwork Girl. After a while, Dorothy picks up on the pattern and points it out. Dorothy immediately understands this is just a case of GibberishOfLove, but the magical residents of Oz believe it means Patchwork Girl is a powerful witch casting a spell on Scarecrow. This puts Patchwork Girl in quite a bind when Wilhelmina kidnaps her and refuses to release her, until she reveals all her supposed magical secrets.

* ArtifactTitle: The show is called ''Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz,'' but while Dorothy is the main character, the Wizard is completely absent, never even referred to during the entire first season (let alone appearing in the opening intro). The second season seems to rectify this, though, as he finally appears in the second-season premiere and looks like he'll be staying around.

Added DiffLines:

* YouDontLookLikeYou: While most of the characters are at least visually recognizable as versions of the classic characters from the books or MGM movie, a few of them... aren't. Most notably the Woozy; in the books he was a blue, almost hairless animal made primarily out of squares and flat surfaces, and about the size of a large dog, but in the cartoon he's a soft fluffy creature about the size of an elephant, with yellow fur and pright pink spots.
