Revision as of 22:44, 9 January 2014
The introductory episode of Calvin and Hobbes The Series is an adaption of the first two strips of the comic. Upon failing to get his mother to give him tuna (as bait for his tiger trap), Calvin manages to get some via bribing a kid to distract her. After catching Hobbes (first attempting to shoot him down, which doesn't work) and "stuffing" him, Calvin introduces the wonders of imagination to him. And thus one of the most legendary friendships of all time was born!
Tropes:
- Five Five Five: Calvin's parents' phone number is apparently 555-7186.
- Adaptation Expansion: The episode is an adaptation of the first two strips of the comic, so this was inevitable.
- Anime Hair: Calvin's is Lampshaded:
No one knows why his hair does that. Is it static electricity? Is it hair gel? No, probably not. |
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: See Hobbes' Overly Long Name below.
- Everyone Meets Everyone: A two-person variant.
- I Meant to Do That: Said by Calvin upon shooting Hobbes in the nose.
- Mr. Imagination: Calvin, who ends up introducing it to Hobbes.
- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: Hobbes' Overly Long Name, seen below.
- Overly Long Name: Hobbes takes a deep breath before introducing himself as "The Ultimate and Most Powerful Predator on the Planet Earth, with Razor Sharp Teeth, Deadly Claws, and Urge to Kill Stuff, and Also Has Opposable Thumbs, and is Able to Stand Up On Two Legs". (Or just "Hobbes" for short.)
- Pilot
- Tempting Fate:
Calvin: I can shoot you down. I'm an excellent aim.
Calvin: I meant to do that. |
- We Need a Distraction: Calvin bribes another kid with 2 dollars to distract his mother while he makes a tuna fish sandwich to capture a tiger with.
