Line 31:
* [[Big Bad]]: Queen Narissa.
* [[Big Damn Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Robert and Giselle's kiss in the rain near the end of the movie.}}
* [[Bigger
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: A rare in-universe version. Robert is confused when all of Central Park bursts spontaneously into song during the "That's How You Know". To ''him'' it's a BLAM. His reaction is also [[Lampshade Hanging|a lampshade]] of the [[Spontaneous Choreography]], since unlike a pure BLAM the sequence also advances the plot. It leads to a romantic make-up gift from Robert to Nancy because of the earlier [[Not What It Looks Like]] scene.
* [[Big Never]]: Delivered by Narissa during the opening. It's so big, in fact, that she [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|briefly appears to turn into]] [[Scaled Up|a dragon]].
Line 51:
* [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: The TV in Edward's motel room is showing an interview with Giselle when he asks it to reveal where she is. It does appear that he's been channel surfing all evening, though.
* [[Could This Happen to You?]]: The news report of Pip being spotted at the restaurant parodies this, with the reporter rhetorically asking if this is a sign of a rising trend.
* [[Crapsack Only
* [[Creative Closing Credits]]: The credits featured animated silhouettes with a "woodblock printed paper" background, many of them references to previous Disney films.
* [[Creepy Cockroach]]: Played with in the "Happy Working Song" scene, in which roaches pitch in to help the rats and pigeons clean up the apartment.
Line 73:
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Giselle goes barefoot in the animated segments.
* [[Double Subversion]]: A ''lot'', due to the film's refusal to commit to being a parody or not.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Overlooker]]: See the poster illustrating this article. That giant woman is Queen Narissa. {{spoiler|And so is that giant worm so she's in it ''twice'', both times in a watching pose. How's that for overkill?}}
* [[Evil Sorceress]]: Narissa (see [[Vain Sorceress]] below).
Line 82:
* [[False Soulmate|False Soulmates]]: Towards the end, [[True Love's Kiss]] indicates that the couples {{spoiler|Edward/Giselle and Robert/Nancy}} aren't meant to be with each other, but that {{spoiler|Edward/Nancy and Robert/Giselle}} are.
* [[Fantastic Romance]]: {{spoiler|Cartoon princess-to-be meets real world lawyer.}}
* [[Fantasy
* [[Funny Background Event]]: There is one point in the big "That's How You Know" dance number where the performers are all marching across a bridge and people in the boats in the water below do not pay any attention to them.
* [[The First Cut Is the Deepest]]: Robert's divorce, a decision that deeply affected him and made him become a divorce lawyer.
Line 124:
* [[High Concept]]: "Hey, let's do a [[Refugee From TV Land]] plot with a Disney princess", said one exec to another.
* [[High Collar of Doom]]: Narrisa has an outfit with one.
* [[Hot Dad]]: The divorced Robert, who was played by Patrick Demsey AKA [[Grey's Anatomy
* [[I Do Not Speak Nonverbal]]: Prince Edward towards the now mute and impressive mime Pip.
* [[I Feel Angry]]: [[Futurama|Other]] [[Trope Namer]].
Line 173:
* [[Novelization]]: There is one, and it's actually pretty good.
* [[Old-Fashioned Rowboat Date]]: Briefly seen in the "That's How You Know" montage, complete with a [[Parasol of Prettiness]] and a mariachi band on a couple of other boats.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Narissa turns into a dragon for the [[Final Battle]], in a clear homage to [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]].
* [[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.
Line 189:
* [[Prince Charming]]: Edward, parodied. In addition to his cluelessness, he's revealed to have a bit of an ego problem, but he never gets to the level of [[Prince Charmless]].
* [[Princess Classic]]: Giselle, also parodied.
* [[Prophetic Names]]: Robert's last name is Philip ([[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'s prince) and Nancy's is Tremaine ([[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]'s evil stepfamily). This last one is a subversion, though, as Nancy is actually quite nice and ends up a fairy-tale princess herself.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Like many Disney villains, Narissa engages in a bit of this once she has her big evil moment. "It's time to take our tale to new heights.... We're coming to the end of our story now. Are you at the edge of your seat, Giselle, just ''dying'' to know how it ends?"
* [[Record Needle Scratch]]: "Ever Ever After" and {{spoiler|Edward's wedding to Nancy}} screech to a halt as Nancy's phone rings.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]: Giselle.
* [[The Queen's Latin]]: [[Averted]]. In the fairytale land of Andalasia, they speak with [[American Accents]].
* [[Rhymes
* [[Refugee From TV Land]]: The fairytale Princess, her handsome Prince, a wicked Queen, and [[Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer]] all being transported to modern New York City.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: The "turtles are cute" subversion.
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: With just the sound of her voice, Giselle can control any animal and induce mass hypnosis in as large a group as she wishes. Why? Because Disney Princesses ''can just do that'', and therefore so can Giselle, or she wouldn't be one. That's why. Likewise following classic Disney tropes, Pip is agile and intelligent, Nathaniel can [[Paper-Thin Disguise|disguise into any human bystander]], Narissa has the power to transform into a creepy old lady and turn into a dragon, and Prince Edward...is a [[Large Ham]].
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: Nancy, Robert's fiancée {{spoiler|who takes up Giselle's place and marries Prince Edward in the end}}. Edward counts here, too.
* [[Scaled Up]]: Narissa transforms into a dragon as a homage to ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]'''s Maleficent.
* [[The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction]]: Narissa on Nathaniel. Nathaniel begins to realize he's a dupe when he sees a soap opera variant.
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Prince Edward parodies this typical status that Disney princes have.
* [[Shopping Montage]]: In this case however, the "protégée" is an adult, and the person who takes her shopping is a child.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** The movie is full of them, particularly to disney classic movies: The book opening sequence is a shoutout to many disney classics. When Giselle is looking at the fishbowl a song from [[The Little Mermaid]] plays on the background. (And Jodi Benson plays Edward's Secretary in that scene) While in the italian restaurant, "La Bella Notte" from [[Lady and
** There's also a big shout-out to [[King Kong]] in {{spoiler|Narissa's death scene.}}
* [[Show Within a Show]]: The soap opera that appears on the TV in Edward's motel room, starring Paige O'Hara (Belle from Beauty and the Beast) no less. Even better, the background music of said soap opera takes cues from the ''song'' "Beauty and the Beast".
Line 219:
* [[Suggestive Collision]]: Giselle, dressed only in a towel, falls out of the bathroom onto Robert. Right when Robert's girlfriend walks in.
* [[Summon Backup Dancers]]: When Giselle sings in Central Park.
* [[Surveillance
* [[Take That]]: At the beginning of the movie, when the old hag, who's really Narissa in disguise, pushes Giselle into the well, she says that she sent her to a place "where there are no happily ever afters." It turns out to be modern-day New York in reality. Nice.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: "Part of Your World" and "Beauty and the Beast".
Line 232:
'''Morgan:''' Put them back?<br />
'''Robert:''' Put them outside! Don't put them ''back!'' }}
* [[Title Drop]]: [[
{{quote| Let yourself be enchanted/You just might break through/To ever ever after!}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Giselle is definitely a very frilly and girly girl, while Nancy is a career woman who wears pantsuits and glasses.
Line 242:
** Giselle has an [["I Want" Song]] ''called'' "True Love's Kiss".
** It's also played straight near the end of the movie, when, like a good Disney princess, she's hexed to sleep. She needs a [[Troperiffic]] [[True Love's Kiss]] before midnight (of course) in order to wake up. {{spoiler|Robert, of course, manages to rouse her in the nick of time with a [[True Love's Kiss]].}}
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: The scene when Giselle trails off mid-rant because she's been distracted by Robert-in-his-bathrobe virtually ''screams'' this. That, or [[Distracted
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Zigzagged. Giselle's initial arrival in New York does get some odd looks (the fact that she causes a traffic accident certainly helps), and Edward's antics with the bus and Pip's appearance in the Bella Notte make the local news... but otherwise their presence (including Pip in another restaurant) doesn't garner a lot of notice. Also, Nathaniel manages to sneak into the latter restaurant's kitchen with only a chef's hat and strike up a conversation with a pot of soup without attracting too much unwanted attention.
* [[Up the Real Rabbit Hole]]: After one attempt to locate it, as far as Robert is concerned, Andalasia (a very real if [[Magical Land]]) is "fantasy", and [[This Is Reality]]. Nobody ever corrects him or acts as if this makes anything but perfect sense.
* [[Urine Trouble]]: When Edward is lurking outside Robert's apartment complex, waiting for an opportunity to get in a "rescue" Giselle, a passing dog relieves itself on his boot.
* [[Vain Sorceress]]: Narissa. Though, that ''must'' have been intentional; she ''is'' meant to be an amalgamation/parody/lampshade of the classic Disney "[[Evil Sorceror|Evil]]/VainSorceress" villains, most notably [[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Maleficent]], [[Snow White (Disney film)|the Queen from Snow White]], [[The Little Mermaid|Ursula]], and perhaps just a dash of [[Cinderella (Disney film)|Lady Tremaine]] (well, that last one doesn't really use magic unless you count one of the sequels, but still).
* [[Verbed Title]]
* [[Villains Blend in Better]]: Nathaniel seems to have much less trouble navigating New York than Giselle does, showing up in a variety of guises and apparent jobs. (Possibly he has a fairytale-villain-instant-disguise trait that carries over the way Giselle's fairytale-heroine-magic-singing trait does.)
