* AnimateInanimateObject: Among the inhabitants of Toyland are a number of sentient objects, including a monkey-like monkey wrench who gets thrown into "the works" of a factory as a LiteralMetaphor. (Don't worry, the wrench ends up being fine.)



* NamedByTheAdaptation: Unlike in most versions, here, Barnaby has a full name (his last name is crookedman).

Added DiffLines:

* ZombieGait: hilariously, the toy soldiers advance against goblins looks a lot like that - they are slowly advancing, swaying with every step, arms raised in front of them. And (from goblins point of view, of course), they are unstoppable threat that shrug off anything goblins could throw at them.

* OffModel: The animation is extremely inconsistent. The shape of characters' heads tends to shift from scene to scene as well as their eyes, which sometimes spazz out and change direction or cross. There is also a misspelling on one of the calendar pages that surround Tom during the factory song. Instead if "Two days left," it reads "Two days leet."

* ImMelting: The Goblin King is killed this way, when he gets [[WeaksauceWeakness light shined on him for so long]] that he simultaneously explodes and melts.


Added DiffLines:

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: The Goblins, especially the Goblin King, have darker, ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''-like character designs, with the Goblin King in particular [[EvilSoundsDeep having a]] [[HellIsThatNoise very reverbed and loud roar]], and [[SavagePiercings wearing earrings]], and they later [[SugarApocalypse invade Toyland]] and [[RapePillageAndBurn set it on fire]]. There's also the fact that the Goblin King is [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath killed rather violently]] for a film geared towards kids.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverHadToys: In Barnaby's VillainSong, "A Crooked Man," it's explained that Barnaby wants to destroy Santa's toys and ruin Christmas because [[IfICantHaveYou he never had any toys as a kid, so he thinks that no one else should have any either]]. The movie never explains why exactly he didn't have toys, but he doesn't sound too sad about it. In fact, he sounds rather proud about that fact, as if it makes him superior to everyone else.

* SweetSheep: Sheep and lambs are spotted working at the toy factory and are seen working on the hats for other toys. One lamb is seen witnessing Gonzargo and Roderigo (disguised as sheep) acting suspicious at the toy factory. The same lamb would later reappear during the film's climax as the factory is on fire. However, a grown ram quickly takes notice of Gonzargo and Roderigo's disguises and headbutts them out of the stable that the sheep are grazing in.

* FearSong: "[[https://youtu.be/YFc3xHTTcEY The Worst Is Yet To Come]]" starts out as a VillainSong, as Rodrigo and Gonzargo, who are taking the {{kid hero}}es to the land of goblins, taunt the kids about their imminent deaths. But it becomes a sort of musical OhCrap moment near the end as Rodrigo and Gonzargo start to realize that, by entering the goblins' territory, they've put ''themselves'' in danger too.
-->'''Rodrigo:''' Your nerves are jarred, your heart beats hard,
-->'''Gonzargo:''' Like a kettle drum!
-->'''Rodrigo:''' You're hearing shrieks and eerie squeaks!
-->'''Gonzargo:''' Where is that one coming from?!
