Line 23:
* [[Animal Jingoism]]: Cats vs mice; though its used as a metaphor.
* [[Are We There Yet?]]: Fievel asks this on the boat ride to America in the first movie, and on the train ride out west in ''Fievel Goes West''.
* [[Armed with Canon]]: ''Fievel Goes West'', the [[Lighter and Softer]] first sequel which [[Don Bluth]] wasn't involved with, seemed to take a few shots at the first movie (such as Tanya getting tomatoes thrown at her for singing "Somewhere Out There", and New York turning out to be a [[Crapsack World]]), and in general carried itself as if [[Lighter and Softer]] equaled better. Then the third movie came along, with yet another different team of writers. Fievel wasn't out west anymore, but in New York, and the writers decided to throw in a [[Wham! Line]] about Fievel having a dream where he moved out west, implying that the second movie is now [[Canon
* [[Art Evolution]]: And in its sequels, devolution. [http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs26/f/2008/132/4/5/The_Real_Tanya__by_Skyline19.jpg Take this, for instance.]
* [[The Artful Dodger]]: Tony Toponi, a streetwise orphan mouse.
Line 370:
* [[Unfamiliar Ceiling]]: Tony wonders if he's dead after he and Fievel awaken staring up at the pit they fell through, after narrowly avoiding being run over by a subway train and falling into an underground cave.
* [[Villain Song]]: Both direct to video sequels did this. Pity the first two movies didn't actually.
* [[Wham! Line]]: "[[All Just a Dream|I dreamed we moved]] [[Retcon|out west and I]] [[Canon
* [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?]]: Cited nearly word for word by Fievel in ''The Treasure of Manhattan Island'' when he persuades an Indian Chief to let her daughter live among the Europeans for a time and see if they've changed their ways. And of course, things later [[Gone Horribly Wrong|go horribly wrong]].
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: A very literal example. Tony appears in the DTV sequels and in the third film, ''The Treasure Of Manhattan Island'', he has a [[Love Interest]] in the shape of Cholena. But wait... where the hell is Bridget? She was his girlfriend in the first film and ''Fievel Goes West'' actually featured a cameo of the two, as a newly married couple, with a child no less.
