  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

 Hi, my name is Dot Hugson, I'm eight years old. I live in a farm in Kansas in the countryside. I'm a farm girl. My favorite habit is to play with my dog Toto, my brother Neddie and my farm animals, riding horses, hanging out with boys and having fun. (laughs) I was born on June 21st, That's about it. It began on a bright summer day, Neddie and I are happily spent our childhood in my farmhouse. But suddenly, my family, Toto, Neddie and I were caught up in a tornado and carried away! And then, when we woke up, I discover the magical Land of Oz, my very own magical world! Oh, well, I guess everything will be okay.
—Dot Hugson's Opening Narration

The Oz Kids is an American animated fantasy comedy-drama television series produced by Hyperion Animation based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, L. Frank Baum's classic children's novel, and its various sequels. It aired on ABC from 1996 to 1999; from 1996-1997 nine early episodes were released in VHS format.

The two main characters of the series are both human: Dot and Neddie Hugson (the children of Dorothy and Zeb). The minor characters are Boris and Bela (the children of the Cowardly Lion), TinBoy (aka Nickie) (the son of the Tin Woodman), Scarecrow Jr. (the son of the original Scarecrow), Jack Pumpkinhead Jr. (son of the original Jack Pumpkinhead), Frank (the son of the Wizard), and Andrea, daughter of Glinda.

Tropes used in The Oz Kids include:

  • Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Otto and Andrea
  • Cool Big Sis
    • Dot Hugson is Neddie's playful, imaginative and adventurous big sister.
    • Bela is Boris's bratty big sister.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Frank, who is a supporting character, became the main protagonist of "Underground Adventure".
    • "The Monkey Prince" stars Neddie as the main character.
  • Denser and Wackier: Compared to the Oz-related books and films.
  • The Ditz: Dot and Neddie
  • Expy: Andrea, Glinda's daughter, bears a distinct resemblance to Ozma, who is one of the few major Oz characters who do not appear in this series.
  • Five-Man Band
  • Four-Fingered Hands: Dot and her brother, Neddie in the series' earliest episodes.
    • This trope makes Dot and Neddie even cuter.
