* ShoutOut:
** Tom is blatantly an {{Expy}} of Music/TomWaits.
** The score when Tom is first wandering through Oz is based on ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon''.
** The Witch's song sequence is an homage to Tim Curry's number in ''Film/TheWorstWitch''.
** The Witch's song also borrows random clips from the Care Bears, ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show'', and the Peanuts ''Flashbeagle'' special.
** When the Wizard is making up new tasks for the heroes, he mentions the [[Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple Shrine of the Silver Monkey]].

[[TheTramp A vagrant drunkard]] named [[{{Expy}} Tom]] stops into a bar, gets hammered, and wakes up to find his shoes gone and the place empty, except for a pair of red sneakers on the ground. As soon as he puts them on and heads out the door, the bar vanishes, and he finds himself in a strange land....[[CrapsaccharineWorld that sucks]], so he seeks the help of a wizard to send him literally anywhere else. Along the way, Tom meets a few new friends who also seek various forms of aid from the wizard, but he also makes a powerful and mysterious enemy....

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Discussed in the Scarecrow's case.



* DirtyCoward: Nope, not the Lion. [[spoiler:It's the Wizard.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: The Cowardly Lion is actually a wandering {{Ronin}}.



* InformedFlaw: The Lion's cowardice. [[TheSoCalledCoward He's incredibly brave & stoic throughout his entire screen time, being far more proactive than any other character in fighting the villains.]]
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Metaphysically speaking. Metaphorically speaking, too. It's all good. (Special mention to the Lion, though, who ''never'' at ''any'' point shows ''any'' signs whatsoever of cowardice.)
* IncrediblyLamePun: "You may call me the Cowardly ''Lion'', so named for the cowardice which ''lines'' my very heart."
* KillItWithWater: Subverted. Dousing the Witch with water appears to have no effect other than being annoying. [[spoiler:It does keep the Witch distracted long enough for the Lion to slice his head off, though.]]
* MagicFeather: To represent the Scarecrow's brains, a [[UsefulNotes/AmericanEducationalSystem General Equivalency Diploma]]. To upgrade the Robot's operating system so he can process emotions, a copy of Windows XP. To reward the Lion's courage, a bowling trophy. [[spoiler:And absolutely nothing at all for Tom, because this Wizard is even ''less'' magical than the original.]]



* PlayingWithFire: The Witch's henchmen's power.
* RealityWarper: Seemingly the Witch's power.



* SirSwearsALot: Tom has a filthy, filthy mouth.

!!Features the following tropes:

*ActingForTwo: Almost all of the principal actors place more than one role. Tom, the Wizard, and the Wicked Witch are the exceptions.
*AdaptedOut: Toto (unless you count [[CompanionCube Tom's flask]]), Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, Miss Gulch, and Professor Marvel.

*OffToSeeTheWizard: Natch.
*TheManBehindTheCurtain: Or, at least, under a blanket.
