Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} [[File:220px-Gordy_poster_9487.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''"Go play your banjo, goober!"''}} A 1995 movie in which a piglet goes on a search for his family and along the way, he meets a country-singing girl with no mother and a rich boy with no father (Hey, [[Inspector Gadget (~~Film~~film)\|it's a]] [[Disney]]-distributed [[Inspector Gadget (~~Film~~film)\|movie!]]). Eventually, Gordy becomes famous. The film was a failed attempt at providing an acting vehicle for [[Country Music]] singer Doug Stone, who also sang many of the songs in its soundtrack (including "More Love", which was a hit single for him). ~~----~~ ~~This film contains examples of:~~ {{tropelist}} * [[You Fail Film School Forever\|Artistic License - Film Production]]: Nobody during the filming of a commercial ''looks through the camera'' to see if they liked the footage so that they can't notice {{spoiler\|the lens has been replaced with a wide-angle lens}}. * [[The Cameo]]: Louis Rukeyser. * [[~~Caligulas~~Caligula's Horse]]: Gordy is the head of a major company after the owner gives it to him. * [[Guess Who I'm Marrying]] * [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Jessica. Line 18 ⟶ 17: * [[Light Is Not Good]]: In a really awkward transition scene the main villain looks as if he's being surrounded by a heavenly glow, as a result of the effects guys doing a poor job of matting out the wall behind him. * [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: Rarely does Gordy actually speak, but the trailer makes it seem like he speaks throughout the movie. * [[One -Book Author]]: Still the only thing Doug Stone ever acted in. Strangely, his ''singing'' career also died not long afterward, but the film had nothing to do with that — health problems rendered him temporarily unable to record, and by the time he fully recovered, his style was out of mode. * [[Notable Original Music]]: "Pig Power in the House", a rap song which was made for the movie and even has a [[Music Video]] for it. * [[Pet Heir]] * [[Random Events Plot]]: The movie begins with Gordy being separated from his family and somehow ends up making him head of a major corporation. * [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: According to this film, anyone can understand animals if they take the time to listen. Which apparently amounts to about ten seconds of silent observation. * [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?]]: For some reason, the villains never consider just killing Gordy. {{reflist}} [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:Gordy]] [[Category:~~Trope~~Film]]
