In the film, it is largely implied that Oz was a head-trauma-induced delirium, instead of a real place, while in the series it was a real place. While the series is mostly based on the 1939 film, there are some issues with the canon of it. A reversal of the archetype from the film was that Dorothy got herself from Kansas to Oz by clicking her heels in her slippers and saying "There's no place like Oz". Toto, as in the film, also seems to be able to "smell" the Wicked Witch or her spellwork, even when she's in disguise. In addition, the series incorporated music from the original film, including a slightly altered version of " We're Off to See the Wizard". At the same time, the character of Dorothy was designed with an appearance similar to that of Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid and was not intended to resemble Judy Garland, as well as Dorothy's dress being a solid blue as opposed to the gingham style from the film. The series incorporated visual elements from the 1939 film version, including the Scarecrow's diploma and Dorothy's ruby slippers. The Cowardly Lion also gets to wear them briefly.

However, Truckle manages to steal them from her, and she is unable to use their power to their full advantage. The Wicked Witch does manage to get the slippers once in the series. The episode "Crystal Clear" explains that this was caused by the ball's creator having intentionally stabbed/cracked it with a carving knife, during the witch's theft attempt, in order to prevent her from using its full potential. Similarly, the Wicked Witch's crystal ball was unpredictable, often only working once a day. Glinda often told her to only use them as a last resort. In the second episode, she clicks her heels four times to correct the Witch's damage to the Emerald City, as to imply that a fourth click has more power than three. They often didn't do exactly as she asked, acting unpredictably.

To combat the idea that the slippers would provide Dorothy with ultimate power against the Witch, they didn't always work correctly, apparently because she wasn't entirely sure how to use them. Author Jeff Lenburg mentioned an aspect of the series wherein Dorothy has to learn to believe in oneself. Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion set out to rescue him and defeat the Wicked Witch once and for all.
