=== Tropes: ===
* [[Babies Ever After]]: After all, why stop with just two adorable baby animals?
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Naturally, averted. The movie was extensively reworked from its original Japanese release... But the protagonist cat, Milo, is portrayed as good-natured and curious, and even his occasional mischievous moments are generally endearing rather than off-putting. Also somewhat unusually, he's close friends with a pug named Otis, hence the title.
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Milo
* [[Down Onon the Farm]]
* [[Enforced Method Acting]] - Allegedly, many of the stunts were done by actually putting the animal actors in danger and then filming. [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Milo_and_Otis:Adventures of Milo and Otis#Animal_cruelty_allegationsAnimal cruelty allegations|The other wiki]] mentions the allegations but notes that nothing was ever proven.
** It's rather cringe inducing either way to see the cat getting thrown down a river, pushed down holes, and falling off large cliffs and waterfalls, and the dog having to wrestle a ''bear.'' The [[Fridge Horror]] can really do a number on one's childhood.
** The Japanese version has a good bit of footage deemed too nasty for the American cut, including a much more violent fight between the pug and the bear, and one kitten that reportedly had its foot deliberately broken.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: Milo and Otis encounter several bears on their adventures.
** Or, perhaps with a bit of imagination, the same bear.
* [[Fantastic Foxes]]: The fox that both Milo and Otis meet on separate occasions appears to be crafty and fun-loving, though not necessarily a bad guy.
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Laughably Evil]]: If you count the bear. Despite being...well, a freakin' bear, he can't seem to defeat a little kitten after three encounters with him. Not to mention a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] where a bowling ball gets dropped on his head!
* [[Messy Pig]]: Baby pigs have terrible table manners.
* [[Missed Him Byby That Much]]
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Dogs and cats ''can'' be friends. Awww...
