Line 60:
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: Both uses of "Ev'rybody Wants To Be A Cat".
* [[Disney Animated Canon]]: Depending on how you look at it, this film is either the last of Disney's "Golden Era", or the beginning of their Dark Age. It was the last movie Walt personally green-lit before his death, but the first he never worked on directly (''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' was the last film he produced).
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Duchess and Marie both fall under this trope.
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: O'Malley bravely dives into the water to save Marie, but it backfires when he himself can't swim back to shore and has to be rescued by two geese. Or, alternatively, ''from'' [[Stop Helping Me!|said geese.]]
* [[Expy]]/[[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]]: O'Malley has a similar personality (and the same voice actor, Phil Harris) as Baloo from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]''. Harris would play another, even more blatant, expy of Baloo as Little John in ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]''.
** The Geese sisters Abigail and Amelia are based on the "Pigeon Sisters" from ''[[The Odd Couple]]'' movie and are voiced by the same actresses, who went on to voice Maid Marian and Lady Cluck in ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]''.
Line 130:
* [[Railroad Tracks of Doom]]
* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: Although O'Malley's compliments of Duchess seem fairly genuine, the way he lathers the geese seems to be dripping with sarcasm.
* [[Say My Name]]: O'Malley learns Marie's name solely due to [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|the number of times Duchess yells it when she gets into trouble.]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: The kitten Berlioz is [[wikipedia:Hector Berlioz|learning to play piano]], while his brother Toulouse is [[wikipedia:Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec|a painter]].
** This isn't [[101 Dalmatians|the first]] animated Disney film to feature a moving van in the climax. In fact, they even simply used the exact same van for the one the cats use to dispose Edgar at the end of the film!
