Line 14:
But that's not the end of it! The [[Norse Mythology|Norse god]] of mischief and original creator of the Mask, Loki himself (Alan Cumming) is making the rounds, trying to find the Mask to take it back to Valhalla because it's caused too much trouble in the human world, under the instruction of [[Sadly Mythtaken|his dad]], Odin the All-Father (Bob Hoskins). The movie's climax features a Mask'd Tim and Loki duking it out over possession of both the Mask and the Son it has spawned.
This movie is pretty much universally hated by everyone who's seen it. Sad thing is on the special features on the DVD, the cast and production team is very happy about making it. They talk excitedly about their roles and describe the top-notch special effect this movie pioneered. They were proud of their baby, in other words.
As the movie had time to settle down now, reactions are mostly mixed and many don't see it as bad as most made it out to be, citing it at least as a nice love letter to old school cartoons (particularly [[Tex Avery]] and [[Bob Clampett]] style). Alan Cumming portrayal of Loki was also applauded.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abnormal Limb Rotation Range]]: Alvey does this when Tim mentions ''[[The Exorcist]]''.
* [[An Aesop]]: About the importance of getting along with your family, delivered by Tim.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Jamie Kennedy's brief [[Malibus Most Wanted|rap number]] at the Halloween party.
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: Boy howdy! Only the dance number at the start is from the original mini-series.
* [[Adult Child]]: Tim's opening scene has him play a Mario game on a gameboy while his wife tries to talk to him.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: This movie flat out ignores the cartoon series which was made as a direct follow-up and sequel to the first movie.
Line 29:
* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The Japanese theme song for ''[[Son of the Mask]]'' is [http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTc1NTYwMTgw.html "Mask"] by Tackey & Tsubasa.
* [[Amusing Injuries]]
* [[Animals Lack Attributes]]: Otis the dog is partly played by a real dog and partly by horrifying animation. When the dog is real, it obviously has the equipment you would expect but as soon as it puts on the mask and becomes animated the downstairs department is noticeably lacking. This could have been handwaved as being an effect of the mask itself, had it not been for the fact that the whole premise of the movie is that a human male impregnates his wife whilst wearing the mask.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: You can't get pregnant that fast!
** Well, the Mask ''is'' magical...
** Actually, the first 20/30 minutes of the movie took place during October (The party Tim goes to while wearing the mask is a Halloween party.) and when Loki looks up the birth of Alvey and the other babies on the hospital computer, the date is July 29, nine months after October.
Line 44:
** Unless you count [[Badass Longcoat|Loki's outfit]] as cool. And you should.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Tim walks up to Odin, the king of Norse gods and says "Hold on a minute, ''Grizzly Adams''"
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Tim ultimately becomes a cartoonist, but he has to go through a lot of crap to make it happen.
* [[Everytown, America]]: Fringe City
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: Odin Chief of the Norse Gods, and is Supreme Ruler of Midgard & Valhalla.
** "LOKI!"
* [[Evil Plan]]: Averted; there is no single villainous plan driving the plot. There are, however, a number of smaller ones.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: Alvey and Otis' battle royale.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: [[Critical Research Failure|Wasn't Loki trapped ''inside'' the Mask before?]]
Line 63:
{{quote|'''Tim:''' Say Dada
'''Alvey:''' [Overly masculine voice.] MOTHER!!! }}
* [[Pin
* [[Plot Hole]]: Several, how ''did'' they get the Mask back?
** {{spoiler|Stanley Ipkiss threw the mask into the river, and Milo and Charlie ''both'' jumped in to get it, and Milo is seen swimming away with it at the end.}} Alternatively, the sequel shows Otis finding the mask in a another river.
