Line 16:
* [[Animated Musical]]
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Ruber's potion, which somehow transforms his henchmen into metalized versions of themselves. [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel|Not that it helps anyways]].
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Ayden's silver wings can get a pass due to their in-universe meaning. But how can he maintain himself in mid-air? He's a falcon, not a hummingbird.
** Actually, several species of falcon can hover, including the peregrine and hobby (both of which look a lot like Ayden), although they do so more rarely than say, kestrels.
* [[Award Bait Song]]: ''Looking Through Your Eyes'' is the one that has all the trope characteristics, but ''The Prayer'' was the one which actually won an award.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Ruber -- his [[Twitchy Eye]] makes it clear. [[Lampshade Hanging|And he's so glad you noticed! He's been working at it for years!]]
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: Out of all the knights, Ruber is the only ugly one. {{spoiler|He betrays them.}}
* [[Become Your Weapon]]: Ruber uses a potion that causes this on his army.
* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Kayley, near the end.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor, ''poor'' Griffin. First he is harassed by a falcon that is ''ten times'' smaller than he is, then at the very moment we discover he is owned by Ruber he is threatened and harmed. It's all downhill from there, as no matter how loyal he is, he's incompetent as hell, and Ruber has no problems with punishing him for that. At the end, when he finally gets to have revenge on the falcon, he is burned, presumably to death, by a two-headed dragon. On top of that, many consider him [[The Scrappy]], even though in the end he is probably one of the most sympathetic characters in the movie (aside from the leads if they aren't considered [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]]). [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]] indeed.
Line 27:
* [[Cool Sword]]: Excalibur, of course.
* [[Composite Character]]: To the extent that ''any'' of the characters resemble the ones in ''The King's Damosel'', Garret appears to be a cross between Gareth (would-be knight, the name) and Lucius (blind loner).
* [[Conflict Ball]]: Garret's reasoning for not accompanying Kayley to Camelot: He doesn't belong in that world because there Kayley would realize that he's inferior to other men. This might make sense if Garret hadn't already proven himself to be the best fighter in the entire film.
** In the Forbidden Forest he has an advantage of highly dangerous and unpredictable environment he had years to familiarize with. His foes fight not only against him, but also against the forest itself and are often taken by surprise. This fits his fighting style. Camelot is an unknown territory for him and he was shown to feel less secure there.
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]: The "ogre" (aka the rock monster) and the round table scene.
* [[Cool but Inefficient]]: Once Ruber has Excalibur, he fuses it to his arm so that he can hold it forever. The end result is cool looking, but it doesn't seem to benefit him in any way in terms of sword-fighting and it later gets him killed. [[Justified]] in that Sir Ruber is insane and wouldn't think about the costs.
Line 84:
** Also a [[Monty Python]] shout-out during the dragons' song, when Devon (voiced by Python Eric Idle) declares, "You'd be nothing without me -- you'd be extinct! '''You'd cease to be!'''"
** And during the lines when Cornwall sings about being "the Dragon King", he holds Devon up on a kopje in open parody of Simba's presentation in ''[[The Lion King]]''.
** During the scene where Cornwall has a chainsaw, he is wearing a hockey mask. (Although Jason Voorhees [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre|isn't the slasher who wields a chainsaw]])
** Garret is a teenager/young adult dressed in green with a wooden weapon looking in an enchanted forest for a mythical sword. [[The Legend of Zelda|Think about that for a second. I'll wait.]]
*** Funny enough, the Gameboy Color game was obviously based on the 2D Legend of Zelda games.
