Line 24:
* [[Christmas Elves]]: The Kringles (well, the males in the family) appear to be little old men with beards.
* [[Christmas Special]]
* [[Continuity Nod]]: [[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Animation)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]] makes a brief cameo, with S.D. Kluger telling us that his origin is another story.
* [[Cool Car]]: Kluger's snowmobile/truck
* [[Crystal Ball]]: A crystal ''snow'' ball! This is what Santa uses to know whether you're naughty or nice.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: "No More Toymakers to the King."
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Jessica... about five seconds after Kris meets her.
** Trope could also apply to the Winter Warlock, once Kris gives him the toy train he's always wanted. He ''literally'' defrosts.
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: The Winter Warlock is hyped up in his debut scene as the potential [[Big Bad]]...but Burgermeister Meisterburger winds up having that position instead.
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: The song Jessica sings, "My World is Beginning Today," and its animation are straight out of [[The
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: What spurs the toy-ban? The Burgermeister ''tripped on a toy and broke his leg in the fall.'' Upon discovering the cause of his accident, Meisterburger declares [[
{{quote| "I hate toys...and toys hate me. Either they are going, or I am going, and I am certainly not going!"}}
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: "So ''that's'' why he __________!"
* [[Door
** Unique in that the person who owned the doorstep Kris was left on (Burgermeister Meisterburger!) had no interest in raising a child, and had the baby sent to an orphan asylum. It's only due to the forces of nature and some friendly animals that Baby Claus ended up with the Kringles.
* [[Environmental Symbolism]]: Sombertown and its citizens are done in drab grays with occasional muted blues or purples, whereas Kris and the Kringles are bright and colorful.
* [[
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Burgermeister Meisterburger delivers one after announcing his intention to initiate a worldwide manhunt for Kris. It's the last thing we ever hear him utter while he's onscreen (his reading of the WANTED poster shortly afterward doesn't count).
* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: Sombertown. The whole town is somber.
Line 64:
* [[Narrator]]: Fred Astaire's Arctic mailman, S.D. Kluger.
* [[Non Human Sidekick]]: Topper the penguin.
* [[Not So Harmless Villain]]: Grimsley proves how scarily competent he really is when he and a Meisterburger posse bust the Kringles' toy-making operation (leaving only Jessica unscathed in the ambush):
{{quote| '''Grimsley''': NOBODY is going to do ANYTHING! You are ALL under arrest for defying the law and making toys... ''[points to Winter] and for being an accomplice to [[Public Enemy]] Number One, KRIS KRINGLE!''<br />
'''Meisterburger soldier''': ''To the dungeon!'' }}
Line 74:
* [[Rhymes On a Dime]]: All of the male Kringles -- other than Kris -- have first names that rhyme with Kringle, such as Wingle and Dingle.
* [[Santa Claus]]
* [[Shout Out]]: To ''[[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (Animation)|Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]]''.
* [[Single Palette Town]]: Sombertown is gray, which makes Kris' red coat stand out all the more.
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: There is apparently only ''one'' female Kringle. Then again, she ''is'' explicitly called "the elf queen", and is twice the size of the males; maybe they have a biology similar to bees...
* [[Title Drop]]: When the [[Title Theme Tune]] is sung at the beginning and at the end, and very nearly when Kris [[Waxing Lyrical|Waxes Lyrical]] to the kids of Sombertown ''(See below)''.
* [[Ultimate Authority Mayor]]: Burgermeister Meisterburger, who has the power to ban toys "throughout the land, from sea to sea."
