Adventures from the Book of Virtues: Difference between revisions

* [[Aesop's Fables (Literature)|Aesop's Fables]]: Some of its stories appear in the show.

* [[Animation Bump]]: Happens frequently.

* [[Art Evolution]]: The animation design in the second half of season two has been changed, noticeably streamlining the designs on Zach and Annie to make them look a little like teenagers, in addition to darkening the backgrounds a bit and making the cells lighter. Finally, starting with the third season's second half, the animation quality is a little less smooth than the first two seasons and also added black outlines on the characters, even though the backgrounds are lighter again and the character designs are completely unchanged.

* [[Bag of Holding]]: Ari's bag of books.

** At the beginning of "Generosity", Zach was carrying a load of canned goodies for donation. Sock walks in feeling sleepy and accidentally ''bumps into him'' making the cans ''fall on the ground'' burying him and roll down, and even one of them rolls down into one of Ari's tunnels. Then the kids went on to gather up the cans in boxes.

* [[Episode Finishes the Title]]: Oh so much.

* [[Every Episode Ending]]: Plato reciting a few of the lines from a famous poem.

* [[Fable Remake]]: ''[[Jack and The Beanstalk (Literature)|Zach and the Beanstalk]]'' in "Courage" (1998).

* [[Forgiveness]]: Almost every episode, most notably "Responsibility".

* [[Former Friend of Alpha Bitch]]: At the beginning of "Friendship", Annie's "new friend" is a strange girl named Sarah who constantly teases her, so she stops being her friend.

* [[Framing Device]]

* [[Furry Confusion]]: Besides the main animal characters, some episodes have non-anthropomorphic animals show up when Zach/Annie isn't at Plato's Peak. Some examples include a dog that Zach plays fetch with in "Loyalty", Jake's pet dog in "Respect", and two squirrels that Zach mistakes for Sock and Ari in "Determination".

* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]/[[Portal Book]]: The Book of Virtues, itself kept by Ari.

* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: In the episode "Charity", Plato is seen wearing only a large white sheet around his body, and Ari and Sock are only wearing green and blue jackets respectively, due to the snow. However, in another episode involving snow, "Humility" (1998), they lack these clothes, just as in all other episodes.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Occurs in "Honesty".

* [[The Hyena]]: Sock always laughs maniacally. For example, in "Honesty", when he hears Plato say "big picture" and [[Incredibly Lame Pun|thinks it's funny]], and later in "Loyalty", when he watches Ari with his binoculars.

'''Sock:''' ...[[Tough Room|Guess not.]] }}

* [[Interspecies Friendship]]: Zach and Annie (both humans), Plato, Aurora, Sock and Ari.

** In the first one, Zach and Annie give up on their guitar and karate lessons respectively, because Zach said that playing a guitar is boring and Annie said that karate is very hard. At the end of the episode, after being told stories with the episode's virtue, the kids get over their problems and happily revisit the two topics.

** In the second one, Annie was racing with Zach on their bikes in the woods, but gets outrun by him when he wins the race and becomes so disappointed about it that she wants to quit. Later on, Annie tries racing with Zach again after resolving her problem and somehow manages to outrun him.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: The kids. Usually, Zach wears a yellow shirt and blue jeans, while Annie wears a pink shirt and lighter pants.

* [[Meddling Parents]]: Both Zach's and Annie's parents can be these sometimes.

* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: This happens twice to Sock: Once in "Perseverance", where he only shows up at the beginning; and again in "Courage" (1998), where he goes away when Ari (who has been toned down during this part) tells Zach the story of ''Zach and the Beanstalk''.<ref>However, this trope excludes Samuel the mouse, the story character.</ref> Also, he's completely absent in "Responsibility" (1998).

** Plato often recites [[Rudyard Kipling]] and other famous authors.

** At the beginning of "Perseverance", when the kids tell Sock that Plato's Peak looks just like Plato, he reminds them "Next you'll be tellin' me there's a mountain in South Dakota that looks like four presidents!". He's actually referring to Mount Rushmore.

* [[Speak in Unison]]: Sometimes used by the characters.

* [[Talking Animal]]: The animals at Plato's Peak.
