Line 19:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Disney sends up their own animated canon, and they have a lot of fun doing it.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: "Remember, when you go out, not to put on too much makeup, otherwise the boys will get the wrong idea. And you ''know'' how they are... They're only after one thing." From the ''6-year old'', no less.

* [[All Part of the Show]]:
Line 64:
* [[Decon Recon Switch]]: For princess and Disney fairytale tropes.
* [[Description Cut]]:
{{quote|
** Of course, since she is [[Susan Sarandon]], she is lovely, even dark.
* [[Development Hell]]: Disney bought an early version of the script in 1997.
Line 108:
** Giselle's lusty moment where she starts fingering Robert's chest...in a Disney movie. This is also the only scene in the movie where his chest can be seen, so it's definitely intentional.
** Then there's this little nugget of dialogue, from Morgan and Giselle's shopping montage:
{{quote|
'''Giselle:''' What's that?
'''Morgan:''' ... I don't know. Nobody will tell me. }}
** The high volume of Crap Got Past the Radar probably comes from the fact that the script originally wasn't written for Disney (it was first purchased by Touchstone Pictures, Disney's adult label), or for kids. According to an article in Entertainment Weekly that ran just before the film's release, the original script was quite risqué and Disney had to cut lots of crap as it was. Considering the original script apparently contained a scene where Giselle gets mistaken for a stripper, there were probably lots of [[Censor Decoy|Censor Decoys]] for Disney to deal with.
Line 116:
* [[Giant Poofy Sleeves]]: Giselle's wedding dress, Edward's shirt, {{spoiler|Nancy's wedding dress.}}
* [[Go Through Me]]: When [[Scaled Up]] Narissa announces she's going to kill everybody, starting with Giselle.
{{quote|
'''Narissa:''' All right, I'm flexible. ''(attacks Robert)'' }}
* [[Happily Ever After]]: Pretty much the theme of the entire movie.
Line 154:
** A subtle one was that the first song sung in the film contained the lyric "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss." The last song sung by Carrie Underwood in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] contained the lyric "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss." Also counts as a [[Book Ends]].
* [[Meet Cute]]: Lampshaded when Giselle falls onto Edward's horse running from a troll he was hunting.
{{quote|
* [[Missing Mom]]: Morgan and Giselle share a bonding moment over neither having ever had a "shopping with Mom" experience. Bonus points in that {{spoiler|Morgan's mom ''isn't'' dead, but actually left her family.}}
* [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal]]: Nathaniel gradually realises that he's just a convenient tool to Narissa, and steps forward to help the heroes at the end. The tipping point provides the page quote for the trope:
{{quote|
'''Radio Therapist:''' I think you need to take her aside and find out how she really feels about you.
'''Narissa:''' Hello, worthless. Miss me? }}
* [[Mood Whiplash]]:
Line 176:
* [[Only One Name]]: Nathaniel. Even when he writes a book, only "Nathaniel" is printed on the cover as the author's name.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Giselle starts singing in the middle of Central Park, a [[Crowd Song]] breaks out around her. [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice King]] Robert, the one being sung to, is the only one who wonders how that is even possible.
{{quote|
* [[Opposites Attract]]: Giselle, the cheery optimist, and Robert, the sarcastic pessimist.
* [[Out of Sight, Out of Mind]]: Narissa's initial plan -- obviously, it doesn't work.
Line 223:
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: "Part of Your World" and "Beauty and the Beast".
* [[This Is Reality]]
{{quote|
'''Robert:''' It's reality!
'''Giselle:''' Well, I think I'd prefer to be in Andalasia. }}
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Even if you're a princess.
* [[Throw It In]]: The novelization of the film provides some insight as to which lines were ad libbed. It follows pretty much the entire script of the movie and even some of the deleted scenes, so the comic material not included was most likely ad libbed. This includes a couple of the more risque lines, such as Nancy's comment about Robert and Giselle having some "grown-up girl bonding time" and Morgan's comment that "Boys are only after one thing", but nobody will tell her what it is. Morgan's "Kick what?" response to Nancy's line "Hey, girl, you ready to kick it?" isn't in the novel, nor is Edward's "I don't know what melodramatic means." And then there's this amusing exchange between Robert and Morgan when they're trying to shoo away the vermin from Giselle's "Happy Working Song":
{{quote|
'''Robert:''' Get them outside! Get rid of them! Get rid of them!
'''Morgan:''' Put them back?
'''Robert:''' Put them outside! Don't put them ''back!'' }}
* [[Title Drop]]: [[Carrie Underwood]] does this in the song "Ever Ever After":
{{quote|
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Giselle is definitely a very frilly and girly girl, while Nancy is a career woman who wears pantsuits and glasses.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: {{spoiler|Giselle in the climax.}}
Line 260:
* [[X Meets Y]]: "[[Disney]] meets Reality".
* [[You're Insane!|You're Crazy!]]
{{quote|
* [[You Said You Couldn't Dance]]: Word for word.
{{quote|
'''Robert:''' I said I ''don't'' dance. I didn't say I ''couldn't''. }}
