* FailureInducedTransformation: In the climax, the Nome King challenges Dorthy and her companions to a game to decide the fate of Oz: if they can guess which object in his extensive ornament collection is the Scarecrow, he'll be restored to normal. However, if they fail all three allotted guesses, they'll be transformed into knickknacks themselves - and the Nome King doesn't tell them this until the Gump has lost the game. For good measure, the Nome King also grows progressively more human for every defeat that Dorothy suffers. [[spoiler: Once Dorothy figures out the hidden key and begins winning, the Nome King is progressively reverted to his monstrous earth elemental form for every friend she restores.]]

Though the film was decried by critics for being too scary for children and did poorly at the box office, ''Return to Oz'' has gained a cult following. It also tends to be popular with fans of the original Oz books by Creator/LFrankBaum; much of the plot is loosely adapted from his first two sequels to ''The Wizard of Oz'', and the visual look and tone of the film is modeled closely on the original in-book illustrations. It is important to note that the original ''Oz'' series really could get this strange, and the famous [=MGM=] film is much LighterAndSofter.
