Line 21:
* [[Are We There Yet?]]: Fievel asks this on the boat ride to America in the first movie, and on the train ride out west in ''Fievel Goes West''.
* [[Armed with Canon]]: ''Fievel Goes West'', the [[Lighter and Softer]] first sequel which [[Don Bluth]] wasn't involved with, seemed to take a few shots at the first movie (such as Tanya getting tomatoes thrown at her for singing "Somewhere Out There", and New York turning out to be a [[Crapsack World]]), and in general carried itself as if [[Lighter and Softer]] equaled better. Then the third movie came along, with yet another different team of writers. Fievel wasn't out west anymore, but in New York, and the writers decided to throw in a [[Wham! Line]] about Fievel having a dream where he moved out west, implying that the second movie is now [[Canon Discontinuity]]. They then proceeded to erase the [[Love Interest]] of Tony Toponi from the first film and pair him with their new character (which didn't even work in-story).
* [[Art Evolution]]: And in its sequels, devolution. [https://web.archive.org/web/20111118122512/http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs26/f/2008/132/4/5/The_Real_Tanya__by_Skyline19.jpg Take this, for instance.]
* [[The Artful Dodger]]: Tony Toponi, a streetwise orphan mouse.
* [[Award Bait Song]]: "Somewhere Out There" in the first movie. They tried to do it again in the sequels, "Dreams to Dream" from ''Fievel Goes West'' being the only other remotely successful attempt, as it also received a Linda Ronstadt cover.
Line 95:
* [[Cue the Rain]]: As Fievel, all alone, curls up in Orphan Alley to cry, it starts to rain.
* [[Cut Song]]: Fievel was supposed to have another song in the sweatshop.
* [[Digital Destruction]]: The DVD release was horribly tampered with, as is discussed on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111118051409/http://donbluthanimation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=991 this forum]. Background music and sound effects were changed or added, new voice-overs were inserted, and the orphans who bully Fievel near the end have different voices (though at least the added/alternate dialogue was from the original recording sessions, even for the orphans - if you look at the lip sync of the animation, you can see that their mouth movements match the voices on the DVD version. It still doesn't excuse it, though).
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: "We're a Duo", Fievel and Tiger's ode to [[The Power of Friendship]], vaguely resembles one of the music videos from [[Michael Jackson]]'s "Off the Wall" album.
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Well, sort of.
Line 303:
* [[Wasn't That Fun?]]: Fievel chimes in "Let's go on that ride again!" after he and his family have a terrifying trip down a sewer waterfall in a discarded tuna can.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Jon Lovitz as a nasty, web-spitting (huh?) [[Giant Spider|tarantula]].
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Cat R. Waul wears a top hat with a cane (though in the proper time period), speaks with a British accent, and adores high-class songs, making Tanya [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Cat_R._Waul_introduces_Tanya.JPG his own personal diva]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Young Gun]]: Fievel daydreams about being a Young Gun at the beginning of ''Fievel Goes West'', complete with his hero Wylie Burp telling him to 'get out while he still can', and Fievel blatantly disobeying him and shooting out a gang of villainous cats.
