* DangerousInterrogative: A nervous servant approaches the Dark Queen at dinner to tell her Helena has escaped with the Mirrormask (and technically the second time it's happened). When the Queen growls "What?!", her voice goes VERY demonic, a prelude to her OneWingedAngel form.

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** The Henson Company asked Gaiman for a movie that's "[[GenreBuster whatever genre]] ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' [[GenreBuster is]]."
** In case you missed it the first time, Mirrormask was written by Neil Gaiman and directed by Dave [=McKean=]. Would you like to know what else was written by Gaiman, with illustrations by [=McKean=], a few years earlier? ''Literature/{{Coraline}}'', where Gaiman visits a few of these same themes-- an alternate universe with an alternate, oppressively-affectionate mother figure who has strange black eyes. This makes Mirrormask a sort of spiritual successor to Coraline. Then, a few years ''after'' Mirrormask, Coraline was adapted into a movie of its own, but the WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}} movie was directed by Henry Selick, making it look more like WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas than like its own source material.

* AbusiveParents: The Queen of Shadows saw her own daughter less like a child in need of a balanced childhood and more like a doll she could dress up and play with when it was most convenient for her. When the original Princess escaped into the real world, she enacts a destructive rampage across a defenseless City of Light (the White Queen left comatose by the imbalance this caused) to find her before finding Helena and deciding to use her as a {{replacement|goldfish}}. Even when Helena [[AntiSmotherLoveTalk explains to the Queen why her daughter left in the first place]], [[IgnoredEpiphany she just shrugs, trying to kidnap her all over again.]]
