Trivia

Since the ruby slippers were created for the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie (the book used silver shoes instead), they are still protected by copyright. Disney had to pay MGM a huge sum of money for the rights to use them in Return to Oz, where they take the place of the magic belt in the books. See more...

Mistake Continuity: When the Doctor is setting up the machine for Dorothy, the power then goes out. Everyone leaves. If you look at the machine, it's 'tounge' is on the right side of it's 'mouth.' In the next shot it is now on the left, and it then stays there.
