Best Answer

Enchantments, little people, magic and talking animalsare the folktale elements in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the enchantment is evidenced in the story of the Tin Woodman, whose axe turns upon him due to the Wicked Witch's enchantment. The Munchkins function as the little people even though they are not the typical folkloric dwarves. Magic can be found in Glinda the Good and in the Wicked Witch of the West. Unexpectedly talking life forms are the Cowardly Lion and the Fighting Trees.
