Line 15:
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Typical of Clampett's work.
** Notably the scene where Prince Chawmin's steps out of his limousine and walks around very oddly.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: Part of why Clampett made the cartoon was so that he could use it to help his black friends get a foot in the film industry. He even wanted to replace Carl Stalling's standard orchestra for a full jazz orchestra, but this was vetoed. Also why he originally wanted the film to be a two-reeler.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Delivered by the queen when she thinks shes "blacked out So White."
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: So White.
Line 26:
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: All of the dialogue.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** The short has many parallels to [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Walt Disney's take on the tale]], notably the scene where So White stands over a well and says, "Some folks think I'm kinda dumb / but I know some day my prince will come."
** When Prince Chawmin' arrives for [[The Big Damn Kiss]], he declares, "I'll give her a kiss and it won't be a dud / I'll bring her to life with my special..." It then cuts to a black screen with the Prince's disembodied lips exclaiming, "'''''[[Citizen Kane|Rosebud!]]'''''"
** So White sings, "I work all day, and I get [[Cab Calloway|de bluuuuuues in de night]]." This was because Bob Clampett was a fan of African American jazz music.
