Editing Ruby slippers (section)

==Television==
In the 1990–1991 animated TV series ''[[The Wizard of Oz (TV series)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (produced by [[DIC Entertainment|DiC Animation City]]), the ruby slippers' powers are significantly enhanced. Not only do they retain their movie-inspired ability to repel the Wicked Witch of the West's touch, as well as the capability to teleport their user (and an unspecified number of companions) to any location desired, but they also demonstrate numerous other attributes and capabilities as well. Among them are the ability to:
* cloud/block the view of the Witch's crystal ball, but only as long as they remain glowing
* negate, dispel, or reverse hexes or magical energy used against their wearer by the Witch
* levitate an object and control its trajectory through the air
* immediately adjust their size/shape to fit their wearer

In this series, Dorothy remains inexperienced and unfamiliar with the shoes' magic, calling upon their power only as a last resort, often resulting in a [[deus ex machina]] scenario. The Cowardly Lion and Truckle, the Wicked Witch of the West's chief Flying Monkey, also briefly wear them.

In the 2002 ''[[Charmed]]'' [[Charmed season 5|season 5]] episode "Happily Ever After", Piper returns home using the ruby slippers after going to the Fairytale Castle to vanquish the Wicked Witch.

The slippers briefly appear in the 2012 [[Warehouse 13 season 4|season&nbsp;4]] episode "Fractures" of ''[[Warehouse 13]]'' in the Dark Vault, seemingly having a life of their own, accompanied by a witch's cackle and a few notes of "[[Over the Rainbow]]". They are supposedly an "Artifact"&nbsp;– a potentially dangerous and malicious object that grants the wearer dangerous powers&nbsp;– since many artifacts are based on works of fact and fiction.

The season 9 episode [[Supernatural season 9#Episodes|"Slumber Party"]] of the series ''[[Supernatural (U.S. TV series)|Supernatural]]'' features Dorothy and the Wicked Witch. Here portrayed as a hard-as-nails fighter, Dorothy realizes the shoes are the only thing that can kill the seemingly invincible witch. At one point, she admits she never really wore the iconic shoes, having considered it "tacky" to wear the shoes of a dead witch. Near the end of the episode, Charlie Bradbury uses the shoes to kill the Wicked Witch and foil her plot to bring her armies to Earth and take over the world.
