Line 18:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Well, the Universe seems to be trying... {{spoiler|At the end, almost succeeding}}
* [[Brick Joke]]: Movie: When Pollyanna and Jimmy are in Mr Prendegast's house he randomly feels Jimmy's hair and says "don't they ever cut your hair in that orphanage". This then shifts to a dramatic scene with Aunt Polly and about 20 minutes later we see Jimmy and Prendegast in the barber shop.
* [[Can't Get Away Withwith Nuthin']]: In the movie, Pollyanna {{spoiler|falls off the roof and paralyzes herself}} while sneaking back into the house from a town gathering Aunt Polly forbid her from going to. Crosses over with [[Too Dumb to Live]] because {{spoiler|she was safe but went out to fetch a prize she won at the fair only to fall off the roof}}.
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Three main examples. There's Mrs Snow, the crabby old woman convinced she's ill and who is rude to everyone. Also, in the movie only, Angelica, the cynical maid in the house. And of course Aunt Polly herself. Pollyanna defrosts them all.
Line 31:
* [[Kissing Cousins]]: Not literally but, in the movie, Nancy lies saying her lover George is actually her cousin Frank. Pollyanna is not fooled when she sees them kissing.
* [[Letting Her Hair Down]]: In the 1960 movie, Dr. Edmund Chilton says that Aunt Polly was so much nicer when she used to wear her hair down. After an emotional conversation with him, Aunt Polly goes upstairs and lets it down for a moment.
* [[Licked Byby the Dog]]: Some people find Pollyanna's friendliness to be this, at least at first.
* [[Plucky Girl]]
* [[The Pollyanna]]: The [[Trope Namer]].
