Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: Pudge the Penguin.
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: HumansThe towardshumans have a low opinion of animals. The whole movie can be interpreted as an allegory for the prejudice and marginalization African-American actors and singers faced in the 1930s and 40s in Hollywood.

'''Sawyer:''' I can't do this.
'''Tilly:''' So?
''*CUTSMOKE COVERS THE SCREEN*''

* [[Happy Ending]]: Danny and company do get their big break...
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* [[The Renaissance Age of Animation]]{{context|reason=Is this a trope?}}
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Danny giving this to the animals when asked why they're even staying in Hollywood since they couldn't become actors: because they just couldn't forget their dreams.

Line 123 ⟶ 124:
* [[Show Within a Show]]
* [[Sitting Sexy on a Piano]]: During Darla's "Big and Loud" number -- since it's a Max-sized piano and she's small, she can roll around for several minutes with no danger of falling off.

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Darla, obviously.
* [[Squashed Flat]]: Darla gets this treatment in the climax.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Max.
