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.
Older Than They Think: DC once stated in print that the earliest occurrence of the classic "Phone Booth Costume Change" happened in 1948. In the comics, perhaps — but the Fleishers were there first by seven years in "The Mechanical Monsters" (1941).
Visual Effects of Awesome: The rotoscoping looks amazing, and the animation still holds up well to this day.
What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: Especially "Jungle Drums," which is loaded with Nightmare Fuel, introducing images such as barbaric natives attempting to burn Lois alive. (Amusingly, this cartoon made its way onto a "Parent Approved" home video VHS tape of Public Domain cartoons.) The poisoned needle and giant Egyptian tomb guardians in "The Mummy Strikes" are also unpleasant bedtime contemplation for nervous children.
