The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (anime): Difference between revisions

** Mombi and Tip, who don't appear in the first book at all, show up in episode 11, just after the defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West; Mombi has come to visit the Witch, but on learning she's dead settles for trying to steal the magic cap that controls the Winged Monkeys.

** Episode 16 has an early-bird reference to the Nomes.

* [[Empathic Environment]]: A forest being menaced by a giant spider is dark, sinister, and foggy until the spider is killed, then the very next scene shows it bright and sunny. [[Justified]] because Dorothy and her friends arrive when night is falling, and the scene after the spider's death is the following morning when they're preparing to leave.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: The Wizard breaks out an impressively scary Mwa-ha-ha when he's trying to get Dorothy and her friends to go away and not forget about making him keep his side of the bargain.

* [[Pull a Rabbit Out of My Hat]]: When Tik-Tok is telling Dorothy about the Princess of Ev's hat collection, he mentions that she has a magician hat, and that every time she wears it she keeps pulling rabbits out of it.

* [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]]: During the Tin Man's battle with the Growliwog.

* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Princess Ozma keeps running away from her royalty lessons to climb trees and play in fields.

* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: When General Jinjur's army attacks the palace to capture King Scarecrow, he digs a pistol out of the stuff the Wizard left behind and gives it to the palace guard to threaten them with. One of Jinjur's soldiers takes the gun off the guard, squints down the barrel, announces that she can't see anything so she doesn't think it's loaded, and throws it away. When it hits the ground, it goes off.
