History Film / WeeSing

* 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, no even the Twirlypops, can see them, although they can hear them.

* 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 ''We Singdom'', he breaks into an equally distraught rendition of the same song just because he forgets his lines in a stage performance.

* OhCrap: In ''Big Rock Candy Mountain'', Little Bunny Foo Foo does this after he realizes he just bopped the Mincy Mice for a 3rd time despite being warned.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In ''Under the Sea'' Weeber the penguin, Ottie the otter, and humans Devin and his Granny can breathe just as easily underwater as the fish characters.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Most of the ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'' animals sport bright colors not found in their species in real life. Likewise, Melody Mouse in ''Wee Sing Together'' is pink (justified, since she's a [[LivingToys Living Toy]]), the Harmonies in ''Wee Singdom'' are ladybugs with bright purple bodies, and in ''Wee Sing Under the Sea'', Weeber the Penguin's strange blue color is a plot point.

** 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.]]

* 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 music and 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).

The series initially started out as a series of songbooks, the first of which was titled "Wee Sing Children’s Songs and Fingerplays". In 1981, the series would add audio cassette tapes to the books as companion pieces, with the books becoming more or less lyric sheets.

* WaxingLyrical: The four Smith kids in ''The Best Christmas Ever'' are named Will, Nellie, Johnny and Susie: i.e. the "Johnny," "Susie" and "Nellie" mentioned in the song "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" and the "Little Nell" and "Little Will" mentioned in "Up On the Housetop." If any viewer doesn't get it right away, it becomes clear when the songs are actually sung.

* DisabilityTropes: In ''The Best Christmas Ever'', one of the carolers that visit the family uses a wheelchair.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Most of the ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'' animals sport bright colors not found in their species in real life. Likewise, Melody Mouse in ''We Sing Together'' is pink (justified, since she's a [[LivingToys Living Toy]]), the Harmonies in ''Wee Singdom'' are ladybugs with bright purple bodies, and in ''Wee Sing Under the Sea'', Weeber the Penguin's strange blue color is a plot point.

** Several of the little girls in the series – Sally in ''Wee Sing Together'', Jill in ''King Cole's Party'', Biffy Bitty Booty in ''Wee Sing in Sillyville'', Nellie in ''The Best Christmas Ever'' and Casey in ''The Wee Sing Train'' – have them too.

* 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, 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.]]

* MisplacedAccent: Dutch Girl from ''Grandpa's Magical Toys.'' She dresses in a traditional Dutch outfit, but sounds like she's from Brooklyn.
** FridgeBrilliance: New York City's first European colonists were Dutch.

* FollowTheBouncingBall: The ''Wee Sing Favorites'' duology recycled songs from previous videos with this feature.

* OhCrap: In ''Big Rock Candy Mountain'', Little Bunny Fufu does this after he realizes he just bopped the Mincy Mice for a 3rd time despite being warned.
-->'''Fufu''': What's the problem? (Looks at his hand and it dawns on him) Oops!

* GrandFinale: ''Wee Singdom'', which features a bunch of characters from past ''Wee Sing'' videos (minus the ones from the first two) coming together to sing songs.

* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: Largely of the AnimateInanimateObjects model. It's most apparent in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'': virtually everything in the titular house is alive, but the degree of its "humanity" is heavily dependent on how human it looks. The music boxes (or to be technical, the figures ''on'' the music boxes), photos, and suits of armor look the most human-like and are all capable of movement and speech; the doorknocker and hat rack are human-object hybrids who can talk, but don't move much; and the grand piano, stairs, and dining room chairs lack all human features, have virtually no mobility (the piano can play itself and the chairs can lean backward, but that's about it), and don't speak at all except for playing a few notes.

* TotallyRadical: A few of the films include an updated "cool" version of one of the children's songs featured. Examples include the remixed "I'm A Little Teapot" in ''Wee Sing Together,'' the hip-hop take on "Down by the Bay" in ''Sillyville'', and the stuffed animal carousel's rap rendition of "Hambone" in ''Grandpa's Magical Toys.''

** The Spurdlegurgles of ''Sillyville'' speak exclusively in rhymes; it also doubles as [[FinishingEachOthersSentences]], as there are four of them, and they simply pass the rhyme from one to the next.

** Doorknocker in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion'' both only talks in rhymes and gives rhyming riddles to anyone who tries to enter the house.

* TranslatorBuddy: In ''Big Rock Candy Mountains'', Felicity the Unicorn serves as one of these for Profster. It's a rare case because Profster actually speaks English--it's just that everything he says is a vague moral lesson, and it falls to Felicity to help the rest of the group understand how it applies.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The adults sometimes have this reaction because they're not privy to what happens in their kids' worlds. In ''Big Rock Candy Mountain'', Lisa's mom has this reaction. 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 remember Punchinello as an old friend. Also subverted by the parents in ''The Best Christmas Ever'', who go with the kids to Santa's workshop, and by Uncle Rubato and Aunty Annabella in ''Marvelous Musical Mansion,'' who openly use a magical hand gesture to activate his music boxes.
