* [[Brawn Hilda]]: The [[Sleeping Beauty]] Germany, when awakened, proves to be a fat, beer-swilling [[Valkyries|Valkyrie]] à la Wagner's ''[[The Ring of the Nibelung|Ring of the Nibelung]]''.
* [[Cunning Like a Fox]]: Used by the Nazi teacher to demonstrate that [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|the strong and cunning should naturally devour the weak and timid]].
* [[Darker and Edgier]] than the vast majority of Disney productions.
Line 17:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]
* [[Fan Disservice]]: The scene involving the aforementioned [[Sleeping Beauty]] Germany.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] / [[Sinister Silhouettes]]: The Nazi officials.
* [[Laser Guided Tykebomb]]: Hans and company.
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Hitler receives this from Princess Germany in the ''[[Sleeping Beauty]]'' section.
Line 23:
* [[Poirot Speak]]: Though most of the German in the short is genuine, Prince Adolf's speech to the newly wakened Princess Germany is garbled nonsense.
* [[Regional Riff]]: When the chalkboard rabbit is hunted by the fox, the tune playing is ''‟Im Wald und auf der Heide‟'', an old German hunting tune.
* "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]": Heralds the advent of Prince Adolf in the retold Nazi version of "[[Sleeping Beauty]]".
* [[Rotoscoping]]: Presumably used to animate the human characters.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: All of the methods explained in the short '''were really used'''. On another note, most of the German spoken in the short was genuine.
* [[Something Completely Different]]: Compared to other Disney shorts, this one '''really''' stands out — it's probably to Disney what [[Chuck Jones]]' "[[Old Glory]]" was to ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.
* [[Standard Snippet]]: Besides [[Richard Wagner]]'s "[[Ride of the Valkyries]]", reference is also made to histhe [[Lohengrin and Mendelssohn|wedding march]] from ''Lohengrin''. When the Nazis are shown burning [[Felix Mendelssohn]]'s music, we hear a snippet of '''his''' wedding march from ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream|Ein Sommernachtstraum]]''.
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: Hans.
* [[User Operation Prohibit Flag]]: The DVD versionsversion's Maltin intro is unskippable and un-fast-forwardable.
* [[Wartime Cartoon]]
* [[Wicked Witch]]: How the Nazi version of ''Sleeping Beauty'' depicts Democracy.
