Unfortunately, I think that Disney OCs are problematic in the fandom because some of them really don't fit into the EAH world. Pocahontas is a prime example. Bad examples can be found at fucknoeahfanart.tumbler.com. The worst example is probably the Pocahontas OC review that has a picture of a black-haired guy drinking bleach. This OC was the daughter of Pocahontas and John Smith, and she looks 100% white. It comes with this ridiculous line: "She is definitely a Tomboy, and likes to hang out with Boys. She is NOT a Lesbian. She is still hetero."

There are some OCs for the later Oz books that are inspired by Baum's less famous characters, such as Tik-Tok. I was actually thinking of doing a daughter of Mombi, the Wicked Witch of the North. The MGM film really does contradict the later books because it implies that Oz was just Dorothy's dream, whereas in the books Oz is a real place and Dorothy eventually moves there permanently. And even then, the MGM film is not the worst offender. The 1925 film adaptation does not even resemble the book at all - in it, Dorothy is a kidnapped princess, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion are all human, there's a love triangle between Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man, and there's a weird combo of slapstick and melodrama. (It was a huge vanity project for a comedian named Larry Semon.)
