* RecycledAnimation / StockFootage: The show features a lot of it, such as reusing the same walk cycles for characters frequently, the same animation of the Wicked Witch of the West cackling, and quite a few other bits of animation get reused as well.

Per TRS. Talking To Himself is a disambig and merged with Acting For Two.


* CastAsAMask: Initially averted in "Double Trouble," when the Wicked Witch transforms herself into a Rusty Tinman clone to cause trouble with Socrates and Dandy, due to [[TalkingToHimself Rusty and the Witch having the same voice actor]]. Then played straight at the end, when the Wizard dresses up as Rusty for a masquerade party and perfectly imitates his voice.

In 1964, a TV special loosely based on the series was produced, "Return to Oz," (no relation to the [[Film/ReturnToOz Disney live-action film of the 1980s]]), with refined character designs and a few recast voices.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalDyeJob:
** Dorothy's an interesting case. Her hair color wasn't really described in the books, but in the illustrations by John R. Neill (who illustrated most of the Oz books) she's depicted as blonde. ''Tales from the Wizard of Oz'' gives her auburn hair like in the MGM movie, but the Dell comic makes her blonde.
** Toto is specifically and repeatedly described as having black fur in the books, but here he's white.
** Dandy Lion is orange all over in the series proper, but in the ''Return to Oz'' special he has a red mane. In the Dell comic he also has a red mane, but his body is brown.

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfFocus: In the Dell ComicBookAdaptation, Socrates and Rusty have surprisingly small roles. Rusty in partucular is barely involved in the story (he only appears briefly in the beginning, and then in the final few pages, where he blows up the balloon that's meant to take Dorothy back to Kansas, but is then so exhauted he spends the rest of the story unconscious). Instead, the comic focuses mainly on Dandy, Dorothy, Toto ([[AscendedExtra who has a larger role here]]) and the Wizard.

** Dorothy's intro scene also establishes her PluckyGirl/FearlessFool character quite quickly, after she's fallen into Oz through a hole in the landscape and collided with Dandy.

** Dorothy's intro scene also almost instantly establishes her PluckyGirl/FearlessFool character quite quickly, as a PluckyGirl who easily slides into FearlessFool territory, after she's fallen into Oz through a hole in the landscape and collided with Dandy.
