Added DiffLines:
* BrokenAesop: The film frequently comments on the racist treatment of Native Americans and immigrants, with its major theme revolving around breaking down barriers and tolerating other cultures. Despite this, one of the main antagonists, Chief [=McBrusque=], is not only an [[{{Oireland}} exaggerated Irish caricature]], but is also portrayed as a sinister DirtyCop who gladly enforces the persecution of these other minorities, despite Irish immigrants actually facing similar discrimination in America at this time. In the climax, Tony even refers to [=McBrusque=] as "Potato for Brains" and isn't called out for it, [[DoubleStandard despite similar disparaging remarks about the Natives being criticised]].
Added DiffLines:
* MinorityPoliceOfficer: The DirtyCop leading the police, Chief [=McBrusque=], is clearly an Irish immigrant, but has no qualms abusing his power and threatening other foreign mice on behalf of the factory owners.
Added DiffLines:
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The three factory owners, particularly Mr. Grasping, have an intense disdain for the poorer mice they employ, especially the foreign immigrants among them, and force them to work long hours with little pay while making themselves rich off their labour. When they learn about the tribe of Native mice living below the city, one of which is now walking out in the open with the Mousekewitz family, the owners then decide to provoke their workers into hunting them down and exterminating them.

* HatedByAll: The Factory owners are disliked by the mice of Manhattan, due to their greed and corruption, and their refusal to give decent treatment and pay to their workers. Once Papa is able to rally the citizens together and make them see the three Factory Owners are the real enemy, not the Indians, they form a worker's union under Papa’s leadership, and got on strike that is so bad they are forced negotiate with their workers.

* PragmaticVillainy: When the factory owners are unable to quell their protesting employees, they use the Lanape mice as a scapegoat to turn the workers on them instead. When it's pointed out that the resulting race riot would result in heavy losses for the workers as well as the Natives, Mr. Toplofty reasons that the majority of casualties will be the more passionate protesters, thus eliminating two threats at the same time.

* {{Interquel}}: If you interpret Fievel's gunslinger dream as DreamingOfThingsToCome, then ''Treasure Of Manhattan Island'' takes place before the events of ''Fievel Goes West'', with the Mousekewitz family still living in New York. Supporting this is the fact that the film uses the younger characters designs from the original film, rather than the older ones from the second.
