Line 139:
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, You Are My Father]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Gender Flip|Gender-flipped]]. Virginia has to tell the Evil Queen that she is her long-forgotten daughter.}}
* [[Mage in Manhattan]]: The trolls, but only for a short while.
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Despite the fact that in part one, Wendell's transformation into a dog and of the dog into him is shown through a now-somewhat-dated but still effective slow-morph, his later restoration at the end of the series occurs in only a few split seconds while he and the Dog Prince whirl around in each others' arms and then fly apart [[Everything's Better with Sparkles|with a burst of magical sparkles]]. The only explanation for this sudden change in the speed of transformation is an attempt to show off the special effects, most likely as a minor example of the [[Rule of Cool]]. (More dramatic, after all!).
* [[Magic Mirror]]: Lots of these. Besides the main set of mirrors that the Evil Queen has ("mirrors to travel, mirrors to spy, mirrors to remember, mirrors to forget, mirrors to rule the world!"), people can use them like videophones. The Huntsman even has a small pocket mirror that acts as a video cellphone!
** At one point, the heroes are shown to a mirror which answers questions, and finds that that particular kind of mirror is incapable of even ''understanding'' a question that isn't spoken in rhyme.
