Reply to In Return to Oz (1985) the nightmare fueled sequel to the Wizard of Oz, why do so many of the characters look completely different from the first film? by ilovemychickens

From what I understand, Disney had the rights to the characters in the book but not the rights to the characters in the MGM movie. So Disney can make "The Tinman" but if it looked like the MGM design, they'd be risking a lawsuit. There is one exception: the book has the slippers as silver but the movie has them as Ruby Slippers and Disney paid a lot of money to include Ruby Slippers in the movie because they're so iconic.
