Not to be confused with the 1964 [[Rankin/Bass Productions]] animated TV movie of the same name, nor with [[Filmation]]'s rather dreary 1974 [[Animated Films]], ''Journey Back to Oz''.

== ''Return to Oz'' has examples of the following: ==
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]
* [[Affably Evil]]: The Nome King is quite courteous, even giving Dorothy and co. [[Alien Lunch|limestone pie and melted silver to eat]].
** [[Faux Affably Evil]]: {{spoiler|When Mombi arrives however, he reveals his sadistic nature, admitting to her he only gave her a chance because it's more fun to watch. He soon blatantly proves he never had any intention of actually going through with the bargain if she won. The Novelisation also insinuates most of his sympathetic act was just to toy with Dorothy while she was down.}}
* [[And Starring]]: [[Fairuza Balk]] (!) as Dorothy
* [[And You Were There]]
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Mombi only appeared in two chapters (not counting a cameo in the last) of the original novel, and had no relation to the main antagonist. She has a much larger role here.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: The Nome King challenges Dorothy and her friends to find the Scarecrow. {{spoiler|if they fail, they become ornaments, and the Nome King becomes human.}}
** While attempting the challenge {{spoiler|Tik Tok pretends to "wind down" in order to get Dorothy in the room with him; his plan is to make a random guess, that way Dorothy can see what he turns into, hoping it would give her a clue as to what the others were transformed into}}.
* [[Battle Butler]]: Tik-Tok.
** He even calls himself Oz's "army". This looks patently ridiculous at first glance, with him appearing to be a clumsy copper boiler with a head, two spindly arms and thick legs that make him slower than a glacier... and then you see him single-handedly wipe the floor with a LARGE''large'' pack of wheelers who are pure terror until this point in the story. Then as the rest of the wheelers flee, he grabs one in a chokehold and mercilessly interrogates him.
* [[Bedlam House]]: At first, it looks like the mental hospital where Dorothy goes will subvert this, as it looks nice, clean, and respectable, and the Dr. Worley seems awfully friendly and helpful. {{spoiler|And then you hear the wailing, which is later revealed to be patients who have been "damaged" and locked in the cellar.}}
* [[Beneath the Earth]]
Line 47 ⟶ 49:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Billina and the Gump.
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Tik-Tok.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: {{spoiler|Princess Ozma.}}
* [[Down the Rabbit Hole]]
* [[The Dragon]]: Princess Mombi.
