Toy soldiers and other characters fight many flying monkeys that blacken the sky as they fly; the soldiers use long sticks and spears against the animals as they land (we see no blood), and a straw man takes a tin man apart and uses one metal arm as a boomerang to knock out a monkey while the tin man's head becomes a machine gun that fires gumballs at the camera and into the mouths of monkeys that stop and blow bubbles; a catapult shoots many sticky gummy balls to glue dozens of monkeys' arms and wings down, a chocolate soldier falls apart but his hands punch monkeys independently, and a tin man's arms rotate around his body like a propeller and knock away several monkeys.

A large funnel cloud fills the screen and twirls amid lightning and thunder, raising debris for a short time. A funnel cloud twirls fast as it is seen in several angles (side view, top view and moving away from the camera) and it carries away an evil Jester who shouts and "whoops" as he is taken away.

A gigantic rainbow chases a little girl and her dog, fashions a hand and grabs them up into the sky. A rainbow cylinder spins around a girl and her dog to magically transport them from Oz to Kansas.

An unscrupulous and pompous government worker and his assistant enter a town recently hit by a tornado and claim the US Government is evicting them for safety reasons; a young girl becomes upset and stops them and a police officer arrests them for fraud; a dog bites one of the con men on the leg (no blood is shown) and chases the other into the horizon.

A man is rude to people and knocks another man down when he opens his car door (no injuries are seen).

A large hand smashes through a wooden door toward the camera, followed by three flying apes that break down the door and tie up a good witch whom they take an evil jester; the jester turns her into a marionette and hangs her in a display case beside other marionettes in dimly lit glass cases. Many marionettes dance a macabre dance in a circle and sing, "All hail the generous Jester," and then float back to their glass cases.

In a candy land, soldiers arrest a girl and a large owl for eating candy; a judge sentences them to death, but then commutes the sentence when he finds that the girl is famous.

A lion, a tin man, and a scarecrow fall off a castle roof, use a large cloth as a parachute and are carried off in a large tarpaulin-like bag by flying monkeys; taken to an evil jester, they are respectively placed into a cage, a tank of water that causes rust and a rotating carnival knife-throwing-act wheel standing inside a circle of fire.

An old tree says that he is over 900 years old and will sacrifice himself to become a useful boat, rather than to take up someone else's sunshine; later, the boat falls over a rapids and the camera cuts to a beach, where the riders wake up in the sand, rattled but unharmed; one passenger, a china princess is broken to pieces and several people cry.

A lion and a man of tin push and shove each other briefly. An ape picks up a magic broomstick and shocks himself; we see electrical bolts and his white skeleton for a few seconds.

Some of the action sequences may be a little intense for younger audiences.

The scene where Dorothy comes across Glinda the good witch (who was turned into a puppet by the Jester) might come off as truly nightmare-ish.
