'''[[What Could Have Been|Cancelled films]]:'''
Line 77 ⟶ 83:
* My Peoples (due to the closure of the Florida studio, which was the only one making the movie)
* Fantasia 2006 (due to shifting management; several shorts were completed and released separately)
* ''[[
* Sequels were also planned for films such as ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' and ''[[Bambi]]'' during earlier phases, though didn't get past early production stages (allegedly due to Walt not being a fan of sequels). Actual follow ups were made much later on, but are not part of the Disney canon.
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]
Line 92 ⟶ 98:
By definition, none of Disney's films fit the trope [[All Animation Is Disney]], [[Captain Obvious|but they are still the]] [[Trope Namer]].
{{
* [[Animorphism]]
* [[Animated Musical]]: But then ''The Black Cauldron'' broke that trend, but was restored by ''The Little Mermaid'', but broken again by ''Tarzan'', but restored again by ''The Princess and the Frog''.
Line 118 ⟶ 124:
** But the darkest is ''The Black Cauldron''.
** While ''Cauldron'' features animated skeletons and self-sacrifice, it doesn't quite touch on the darkness that was ''Hunchback''... which, as you remember, had an older man [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|lustfully sniff a young woman's hair and then singing about his uncontainable lust]].
** While ''Cauldron'' features animated skeletons and self-sacrifice and ''Hunchback'' an older man lustfully sniffing a young woman's hair and then singing about his uncontainable lust, both don't reach the darkness of ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''... which replaces the songs, colors and [[Non-Human Sidekick]]s with action, explosions and many background characters dying.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: How Ursula from ''The Little Mermaid'', Hades from ''Hercules'', and Dr. Facillier from ''The Princess and the Frog'' all work. Is it telling that all these share the same directors?
* [[Death by Cameo]]
Line 138 ⟶ 145:
* [[Happily Ever After]]: Averted with both ''{{spoiler|The Fox and the Hound}}'' and ''{{spoiler|Pocahontas}}'', however.
* [[Held Gaze]]: Has been used in several of the romance-focused movies to imply the underlying [[UST]] of the characters. Notable films that use this trope are ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', and ''[[Tangled]]''.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Karmic Death]]: Happens to many if not most of the villains.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Many characters have been thought to be dead, but others are really killed.
** Villains killed: {{spoiler|The Evil Queen, Maleficent, possibly Madame Medusa, The Horned King, Ratigan, Sykes, Ursula, Percival McLeach, Gaston, Scar, Frollo, Shan-Yu, Clayton, The Carnotaurs, {{spoiler|Rourke}}, {{spoiler|Helga}}, Scroop, Dr. Facilier, Mother Gothel, King Candy {{spoiler|a.k.a. Turbo}}.}}
** Villains not killed (Karma Houdini villains in ''italics''): {{spoiler|''Honest John and Gideon'', ''Stromboli'', ''the Coachman'', Monstro, ''Chernabog'', ''Man'', The Wolf, Willie the Giant, Mr. Winky, ''The Headless Horseman'', ''Lady Tremaine'' (she got her karma in Cinderella III, though), ''Queen of Hearts'', Captain Hook, ''Si and Am'', Cruella, Madam Mim, Shere Khan (until the sequel came around), Edgar, Prince John, Jafar (again, until the sequel), Governor Ratcliffe, Hades, Yzma (is {{spoiler|[[Baleful Polymorph|stuck as a cat at the end]]}}, and possibly gets more karmic backlash in the sequel), Gantu, Alameda Slim, Bowler Hat Guy, The Backson, {{spoiler|Prince Hans}}, The Duke of Weselton, {{spoiler|Yokai/Professor Callaghan}}.}}
** Heroes and neutral characters really killed: {{spoiler|Bambi's mom, Willie the Whale, Slew Foot Sue, Cinderella's dad, Tod's mother, Bartholomew the mouse and Felicia the cat, Flotsam and Jetsam, Mufasa, Kocoum, Quasimodo's mother, Kerchak, Sitka, Tiana's father, {{spoiler|Ray the Firefly}}, King Agdar and Queen Idun, and {{spoiler|Tadashi Hamada}}.}}
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: Though some may still be somewhat comedic, a lot of villains have a very menacing tone (especially in the earliest examples) and are responsible for a lot of [[Mood Whiplash]] away from Disney's usual whimsy. See [[Nightmare Fuel]] for their rather haunting effect on many audiences.
* [[Large Ham]]: Enough examples exist for [[Large Ham/Film/Disney Animated Canon|their own page]].
* [[Light Is Good]] and [[Dark Is Evil]]: Both tropes are played straight in most of the movies.
** [[Dark Is Not Evil|In]][[Light Is Not Good|verted]] in ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', and ''Tarzan'', however.
Line 157 ⟶ 169:
** [[Disappeared Dad]]
** [[Missing Mom]]
* [[Period Piece]]: Most of the films in the canon take place at some time in the past. Only nine films (''[[Dumbo]]'', ''[[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', ''[[The Rescuers (Disney film)|The Rescuers]]'', ''[[Oliver and Company]]'', ''[[The Rescuers Down Under]]'', ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'', ''[[Chicken Little]]'', ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', and ''[[Bolt]]'') are set in [[The Present Day]] of when they were made. Well, ''[[Bambi]]''
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
* [[The Power of Friendship]]
Line 166 ⟶ 178:
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Some [[Big Bad|villains]]:
** Pride=[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Queen Grimhilde]] and [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Queen of Hearts]] (they're queens, or in the case of Queen Grimhilde, wants to be the most beautiful). Also [[Beauty and The Beast|Gaston]] (Wants to be the handsomest man in town)
** Envy=[[The Lion King|Scar]], [[Hercules (
** Greed=[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Prince John]] (steals money from all people in Nottingham)
** Wrath=[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]] (gets angry and sets a curse on Aurora [[Disproportionate Retribution|because she wasn't invited to the birth]])
Line 173 ⟶ 185:
** Sloth=[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Lady Tremaine]] (puts Cinderella in charge and doesn't do anything)
** Lust=[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Judge Claude Frollo]] (wants to love Esmeralda or she will burn at the stake)
* [[Stock Footage]] (see [https://web.archive.org/web/20100529054101/http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1906578 this video] for examples, with ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]'' being the worst offender).
* [[Storybook Opening]]: [[Trope Maker]].
* [[Talking Animal]]
* [[Training Montage]]: ''[[Mulan]]''
* [[Vile Villain, Saccharine Show]]{{context}}
** Even less so with its more mature films, however.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Two books have been written on the subject, ''The Disney [[Stealth Pun|That]] [[Kingdom Hearts II|Never Was]]'' and ''Disney Lost and Found'' (focusing on My Peoples and Wild Life specifically alongside deleted segments from completed works.)
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: There are things that anthropomorphic animals do in ''[[Oliver and Company]]'', ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' and ''[[The Lion King]]'' that Disney would ''never'' allow in human portrayal.
** [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]
* [[White Magic]]: ''[[Fantasia]]'', The Sorcerer's Apprentice"
