Tidbits

The Wizard of Oz is also referenced in the non-canonical Gargoyles/The Spectacular Spider-Man crossover "Religious Studies 101: A Handful of Thorns". [1]

Early in the development of Gargoyles, there was going to be a villain called "The Sorceror/Sidero" who was described as manifesting himself in a Wizard of Oz state as a big floating head. [2][3][4]

Greg Weisman is a fan of the film and has implied the Banshee is too. [5][6]

The fourth book of L. Frank Baum's "Oz" series upon which the movie was based, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (1908), featured a race of gargoyles underground; these were made of wood, were mute (and disliked loud noises), and had detachable wings.
