Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Alternate Character Interpretation: Thisweb reviewer repeatedly refers to Emily as "date rapey". Considering she at one point uses magic to pull Victor away from Victoria and back to the world of the dead against his will, the reviewer might have a point. While she does have a good Freudian Excuse, it's not exactly the best behavior and it makes her ultimate willingness to let go of him more meaningful..
Die for Our Ship: Victor/Emily fans loathe Victoria for being in the way. Rather ironic, considering that Emily is the one actually dead.
Genius Bonus: The bar in the underworld is called "The Ball & Socket". It's a great place, in fact one could call it a "hip joint"!
Hollywood Homely: Victoria has 'the face of an otter' and is a disgrace to her family. Ironically, Victoria's one of the most HUMAN-looking of the puppets in this production.
Likely, her parents say this just because they are assholes who need someone to look down on.
Moral Dissonance: See "Alternate Character Interpretation" above.
Moral Event Horizon: Decades ago, Lord Barkis left the still-living Emily waiting for him, and killed her to get the jewelry she took from her parents as a sort-of dowry.
Nightmare Fuel: The scene where Victor puts the ring on what he thought of as a twig... and the subsequent coming-to-life of Emily.
The Woobie: Emily could qualify, in a... weird way. She was killed by the man she fell in love with, then she's rejected by her new (unwilling) husband, and THEN she ends up letting him go although he was ready to join her in the afterlife. Damn, she really needs a hug.
To be honest, all three of the leads have their Woobie moments. Almost all of which are caused by Barkis, one way or another. Victor in particular is definitely a Woobie — the animators on the film started in an interview that they endeavored to make Victor as pathetic as possible.
