History WesternAnimation / LostInOz

** [[spoiler:Dorothy is actually the great granddaughter of the Dorothy we know from the book and movie.]]

** The Wizard -- maybe. [[spoiler: According to Roquat, it was the Wizard who stole the old Nome King's magic belt and started the enmity between Emerald City and the Nomes, leading to the Nomes calling him the "Wicked Wizard." The Scarecrow, however, remembers the Wizard as a nice guy, so there may be something more going on there.]]

* CanonForeigner: Most of the cast, though we do see a few familiar faces show up as the series progresses, such as Glinda and the Scarecrow. [[spoiler: Dorothy and West are in fact descendants of the original Dorothy and Wicked Witch, not re-imagined versions of them, and it's hinted that Toto was named after the original Toto. It's also possible that Ojo and Reigh are also descended from the original Ojo the Unlucky and Cowardly Lion, though this is never confirmed.]]

* DystopianOz: The Emerald City and, to lesser extent, the rest of Oz becomes an oppressive police state when [[spoiler:langwidere]] disposes of Glinda and takes her place as ruler of Oz.

* MineralMacguffin: Ozonium, stated to be the rarest and most powerful magic within Oz, essential to getting Dorothy home, and per Ojo it's started more than one war. [[spoiler: It barely plays any part in the plot, post-pilot; the real MacGuffin of the series being the Pearl of Pingaree.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: West, after she [[spoiler: has aided Langwidere in taking over Oz, and discovers just what an evil tyrant a Langwidere-in-power is.]]

** [[spoiler: Fitz]] controls the flying monkeys with a device set in his bowler hat. In the original ''Wizard of Oz'' novel, the Wicked Witch of the West commanded them with a magical cap.
* NotInKansasAnymore: [[ObligatoryJoke Naturally]], Dorothy's reaction to the streets of the Emerald City. [[spoiler: Twice, even -- in the second season when she finally manages to get all her friends back to Oz, the line is said in triumph rather than the normal confusion.]]

** [[spoiler: Dorothy is actually the great grand-daughter of the Dorothy we know from the book and movie.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Unlike most versions with Dorothy being raised by her aunt and uncle, her mother is still very much alive and part of the plot. Dorothy still has a DisappearedDad, though.

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: the first villain turns out to be Fitz, apparently a dorky young clerk Dorothy met right after landing in Oz. Later villains, such as [[spoiler: Langwidere]] and Guph, have more clearly villainous designs.

* ThreeAmigos: Dorothy, Ojo, and West form this set. Reigh and the Scarecrow function as additional team party members on several occasions.

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Goths probably don't exist in Oz, but West, the group's resident witch, certainly ticks most of the boxes: dresses in black, in a style that is a mixture of old and modern; has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair violet hair]] worn in a punkish style; pale skin; DeadpanSnarker...

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Seems to be common in Oz. Ojo has bright blue hair, appropriate for a munchkin, and West has violet hair.

* TheMagicGoesAway: The situation in Oz when Dorothy shows up, [[spoiler:thanks to Fitz hoarding it all]]. Seeing as how Dorothy needs magic to get home, this is a bit of a problem.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The Wizard -- maybe. [[spoiler: According to Roquat, it was the Wizard who stole the old Nome King's magic belt and started the enmity between Emerald City and the Nomes, leading to the Nomes calling him the "Wicked Wizard." The Scarecrow, however, remembers the Wizard as a nice guy, so there may be something more going on there.]]

* PortalDoor: Upon arriving in Oz, Dorothy first meets a living brick wall, with one of these built into him. It leads into his office, where [[AlienGeometries he's waiting for her]].

* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Goths probably don't exist in Oz, but West, the group's resident witch, certainly ticks most of the boxes: dresses in black, in a style that is a mixture of old and modern; has [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair violet hair]] worn in a punkish; pale skin; DeadpanSnarker...

* ForgetfulJones: Scarecrow sacrificed his own memory to protect Ozma's secrets (no one could force the information out of him if he couldn't remember it). However, this affected his ability to form new memories, and now he has trouble remembering anything.

''Lost in Oz'' is an AllCGICartoon commissioned by Creator/AmazonStudios for Creator/PrimeVideo and animated by Creator/PolygonPictures (with Creator/ArcProductions for the pilot), loosely based on ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''. As in most versions of the story, the plot follows Dorothy Gale as she gets whisked off into the Land of Oz by a tornado. Unlike the source material or most other adaptations, the tornado isn't exactly a freak act of nature, but is a spell unwitting cast by Dorothy using a book found underneath the floorboards of her house. Oz itself is also quite a bit different, with the Emerald City reinvisioned as a Magitek driven metropolis. Oh, and Dorothy quickly befriends a jaded young witch named ''West''...

* AbandonedArea: [[spoiler:Fitz]] keeps his lair in the abandoned train station of the Yellow Brick Line.

* BadassAdorable: The little patchwork doll trying to bring back the magic. He's smaller than Toto and constantly evades the Flying Monkeys!

* ChekhovsArmoury: In order to save the day, [[spoiler: Dorothy rolling a ball down a staircase in her RubeGoldbergDevice, Fitz's EmbarrassingNickname, the battery-powered echo jar, and Ojo's whistling all come in handy.]] And that's just in the pilot -- the series proper is ''full'' of these.

* DastardlyDapperDerby: [[spoiler:Fitz]], when acting as a villain, sports a nice bowler and coattail ensemble.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Fitz, although he seems like the initial mastermind.]]

* EvilGloating: The bad guy's habit of this helps lead to his downfall.

* MagicEater: [[spoiler:Fitz, using his staff,]] has the power to drain magic from anyone born with it.

* OffToSeeTheWizard: Duh. Although the idea of actually going somewhere to see a magician doesn't come up until the end, and it's Glinda, not the Wizard.

* PortalDoor: Upon arriving in Oz, Dorothy first meets a living brick wall, with one of these built into him. It leads into his office, where [[MindScrew he's waiting for her]].

* TakenForGranite: Anyone who has their magic drained becomes a stone statue.

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: the villain turns out to be [[spoiler:Fitz, apparently a dorky young clerk Dorothy met right after landing in Oz.]]

* VillainExitStageLeft: In the end, [[spoiler:after having his lair exposed and losing the Ozonium, Fitz makes his exit by train, taking his stolen magic with him]].

* AscendedExtra: Reigh was in no way a minor character in Season One, though Season Two gives him a notably larger role.

* NotInKansasAnymore: [[ObligatoryJoke Naturally]], Dorothy's reaction to the streets of the Emerald City.

* CanonForeigner: Most of the cast, though we do see a few familiar faces show up as the series progresses, such as Glinda and the Scarecrow. [[spoiler: Dorothy and West are in fact descendants of the original Dorothy and Wicked Witch, not re-imagined versions of them. It's possible that Toto, Ojo and Reigh are also descended from the original Toto, Ojo the Unlucky and Cowardly Lion, though this is never confirmed.]]

The pilot originally was released in 2015. The series was picked up with an extended pilot (a CompilationMovie of the first 3 episodes) debuting in 2016, and the full first season dropping in August 2017.
