* [[Answering Echo]]: There's a song done entirely like this between Baby Lickety Split, who's bemoaning her troubles at a well, and Flutter Pony Morning Glory, who's trapped inside.

* [[All Trolls Are Different]]: The Grundles. [[Unusual Euphemism|"Aw, Grundlemumf!"]]
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[Hate Plague]]: Anyone splashed with Smooze becomes mean and ill-tempered.
* [[The Hecate Sisters|Hecate Sisters]]: The witches, here and in the series, invert this trope despite not all being sisters. Reeka has aspects of all three types, Hydia is The Crone and the more manipulating aspects of The Mother, and Draggle is The Maiden.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Who would have guessed that a movie apparently made to market a children's toy would star [[Batman Returns (Film)|Penguin]], [[The Simpsons (animation)|Bart Simpson]], [[Cheers|Carla Tortelli]], [[Young Frankenstein|Frau Blücher]] {(*[[Irony|WHINNY]]*), and [[Blazing Saddles|Lili von Schtupp]]?
** Lickety-Split is [[Doug|Beebe Bluff]], with Spike as [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Buster Bunny]], and Danny is [[Captain Planet and Thethe Planeteers|Ma-Ti]], The Moochic is [[The Odd Couple|Felix Unger]], North Star is [[Powerpuff Girls|Blossum]], and [[Peter Cullen|Optimus Prime]] is a Grundle.

Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Reeka and Draggle.
* [[Inevitable Waterfall]]: Spike, Baby Lickety Split, and the Grundles go over one at one point.
* [[Irony Asas She Is Cast]]: After hearing the part of "I'll Go It Alone" where Lickety Split and Spike start trying to sing high notes but just come off as screaming, most people have assumed that Lickety Split has no hope in the music business. In real life, her voice actress, Alice Playten, has done work on Broadway and actually has something of a nice voice.
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: Just try to pick any individual scene from the movie and explain it to someone who's never seen it before. See how many "wtf" faces you get.
