History Film / WeeSing

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** In ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'', Uncle Rubato's music box collection includes a one-man band, a tap-dancing group of a cappella singers, a quintet orchestra, and...a ballerina. The last definitely makes an impression as the only box not centered on song in some way, although she does sing while she dances. Tellingly, it's the ballerina's scarf that gets stolen during the mansion's crime wave, which also stands out as the only purely decorative item that goes missing (and makes Uncle Rubato's claim that she can't dance without it seem a little silly).
** In ''The Wee Sing Train'', the setting has a general country and western theme, with cowboys, a frontier town, a farm, various animals... and a castle with a fairy-tale princess and her enchanted [[BewitchedAmphibians frog prince.]] Yet just like all the other characters, the last two also sing classic American folk songs.

* {{Invisibility}}: In ''Wee Sing in Sillyville'', after realizing that unable to take Laurie and Scott to meet everyone in Sillyville, Sillywhim manages to make the kids invisible while using her magnifying wand blower (shaped as a musical symbol) to make sure that no one, not even the Twirlypops, can see them, although they can hear them.

* {{Catchphrase}}:

** On a more video-specific level: In ''The Big Rock Candy Mountains'', Profster spouts constant Aesops in the form of adages, much to the confusion of the other characters. Felicity initially serves as a translator--to the point where her catchphrase is "What Profster means is..."(Sometimes she says, “That’s right, Lisa” instead, and one time she says, “In other words…”)--but for the last three Aesops, the other characters are now able to understand them on their own, though Bunny Foo Foo and Lisa still offer their interpretations. Humorously, though, when Profster cries TearsOfJoy at the fly and bumblebee's wedding, even Felicity can't figure out a moral.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Grandpa in ''Grandpa's Magical Toys'' feigns this by repeatedly calling David "Leonard," in an attempt to get the shy boy to talk by correcting him. Also played straight in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'' when [[{{Malaproper}} Aunty Annabella]] first meets Kelly: she goes through several 'K' names before she gets it right.

* BerserkButton: Peter Rabbit in ''Wee Sing Together'' can't stand having flies buzz around his ears.

** The Froogy Frogs of Sillyville in ''Wee Sing Sillyville'' talk and sing just as well as any humans.

** ''Wee Sing Together'': As Sally tells Melody at the end, "When birthday magic is in the air, the very best times are the ones that you share." There's also a mild "Parties have to end" Aesop that isn't really discussed.

* CreatorCameo: Beall and Nipp show up in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'' as bird watchers.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: ''King Cole's Party'' was the only Wee Sing video to be different from the other videos for a few reasons. The first was that it was shot on film instead of videotape. The second is that it's the only one to be released two years after the first video. Videos succeeding that would get released once per year. The third is that it's the only one to not be composed by Cal Scott. Finally, unlike the first or later videos where they state magic exists, the whole plot is a dream by Jack with only the magical elements happening in the dream.

** Subverted by Grandpa in ''Grandpa's Magical Toys''; since Punchinello helped Peter's grandfather when he was a child; he seems to know the toys are alive and remembers Punchinello as an old friend.

* UniversalAdaptorCast: The father and children at the start of "King Cole's Party" play the roles of Jack, Jill, Little Boy Blue, Mary and King Kole.

** In ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'', Alex and Benji reminisce about Aunty Annabella's travels to Japan, Algiers, and Holland too, before they break into a rendition of "My Aunt Came Back."

** The jester in ''King Cole's Party'' is also prone to {{Spoonerisms}} .

* FollowTheBouncingBall: The ''Wee Sing Favorites'' duology recycled songs from previous videos with this feature. No lyrics onscreen, though.

* UsefulNotes/TheEighties & UsefulNotes/TheNineties: These films are ''VERY'' 80s and 90s.

* AnAesop: Each film features a "main" moral with a few smaller ones sprinkled along the way. ''Wee Sing Together'' is an exception, beyond a mild "Parties have to end" Aesop that isn't really discussed. The others, in order:

* ArtisticLicense–Biology: In ''The Wee Sing Train'', Tusky the elephant has difficulty passing through the passing cattle. In reality, elephants can easily overpower this.

* GrumpyBear: Hermit Crab in ''Under the Sea.''
** Profster of ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'' is also a mild version, but he's more stuffy and overly prim than grumpy.

* BalefulPolymorph: In ''The Big Rock Candy Mountains'', as per his song, Little Bunny Foo Foo is turned into a goon by the Good Fairy. His goon form is PlayedForLaughs, looking just like his normal form, but bright purple, with crooked ears and covered in polka dots.

* EasilyForgiven: Little Bunny Foo Foo in ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'' is quickly forgiven for bopping the Meecy Mice on the head once he explains why he did it and apologizes, as is [[spoiler: Andy Bandy Man]] for stealing in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion''. Of course in Bunny Foo Foo's case, he had already been punished enough by being [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a goon.]]

* LargeHam: Little Bunny Foo Foo in ''Big Rock Candy Mountains''. His rendition of "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" after he's been [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a goon]] is so melodramatic that Lisa and the Snoodledoodles roll their eyes in [[AsideGlance Aside Glances]]. When he returns in ''Wee Singdom'', he breaks into an equally distraught rendition of the same song just because he forgets his lines in a stage performance.

* AnAesop: In ''The Big Rock Candy Mountains'', Profster will spout these on a dime, much to the confusion of the other characters, until Felicity is able to explain its meaning. For the last three aesops, the other characters are now able to understand what they mean (although Bunny Foo Foo and Lisa still explain their meaning, without Profster having to depend on Felicity). However when Profster cried TearsOfJoy at the fly and bumblebee's wedding, even Felicity couldn’t explain this.

* FairPlayWhodunnit: The second part of ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'' becomes this type of mystery when various musical items go missing. [[spoiler: The fact that [[ChekhovsGunman Andy Bandy Man]] is accidentally left awake after he performs and is clearly shown envying the other [[LivingToys music boxes]] makes it easy for kid viewers to solve the mystery along with the characters. There's also a liberal amount of clues sprinkled throughout the film, including Andy being the only person ''not'' missing something he needs for his performances (although he is [[RedHerring missing his shoe]]), a sentient piano playing his theme when Alex asks if it knows anything, and the musical staircase playing the notes AB-DB, or ANDY BANDY, over and over.]]

* DeletedScene: ''The Big Rock Candy Mountains'' have a couple jokes cut out, but seen on ''Wee Sing Favorites: Classic Songs for Kids''.

* Invisibility: In ''Wee Sing in Sillyville'', after realizing that unable to take Laurie and Scott to meet everyone in Sillyville, Sillywhim manages to make the kids invisible while using her magnifying wand blower (shaped as a musical symbol) to make sure that no one, not even the Twirlypops, can see them, although they can hear them.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''King Cole's Party'' was the only Wee Sing video shot on film instead of videotape.
