History WesternAnimation / MiniWolf

* AnAesop: Every single episode has some sort of moral to it, although one episode was noted for how it put across the CarpeDiem message.

* CharacterDevelopment: In early seasons, he was selfish, dishonest, arrogant and bossy but eventually TookALevelInKindness; most of the time he learnt AnAesop. He never ''intended'' to be malicious; when it was mistaken for malice, he immediately apologized.

* PrincessPhase: A rare male example, in that the male characters wanted to have a go at being a princess, for the time of one episode. PlayedForLaughs, but also had AnAesop that it's OK to enjoy girly things as a male.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter how many times some characters seem to learn the [[AnAesop moral of the episode]], it won't stick; Mini Wolf will revert to being a slightly mischievious, but well-meaning kid.

* AntiVillain: Napoleon, the youngest of the Grunt Brothers, who are warthogs, is only a villain by association with his two older brothers and being [[ObliviouslyEvil in a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed sense]]; he only goes along with his brothers' schemes to avoid upsetting them and would be a TokenEvilTeammate at worst, and he's been a NiceGuy at times very infrequently. If he didn't have brothers, he'd probably not be villainous at all, just TheFriendNobodyLikes due to his [[NoSocialSkills poor social skills]].

Following the adventures of Mini Wolf and his friends, this adaptation of a 1993 series of books.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: France is a huge country, but they seem to treat it as if it was one big town, and the distance between places can be ''huge'' - Paris to Alsace is a 5.12 hour drive.

* ComicBookTime: Mini Wolf stayed 7 for the entire duration of the show, and none of the rest of the cast aged at all in the 2 seasons it ran.
* {{Gasshole}}: Moussa the elephant has this behavior as one of his defining traits, although he's largely embarrassed over this.

* PrincessPhase: A rare male example, in that the male characters wanted to have a go at being one, for the sake of one episode. PlayedForLaughs, but also had AnAesop that it's OK to enjoy girly things as a male.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The town is never given a name, not even in the English dubs.

* BrattyHalfPint: For the first few episodes of Season 1, Mini Wolf behaved this way until CharacterDevelopment changed him a lot.

* CarpeDiem: Two episodes covered this topic, although it was in very different ways.
* CharacterDevelopment: In early seasons, he was selfish, dishonest, arrogant and bossy but eventually TookALevelInKindness; most of the time he learnt AnAesop.

* NoAntagonist: Not for the show as a whole, but there were some episodes where the conflict was a RaceAgainstTheClock or helping a family member rather than an interpersonal conflict.

* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter how many times some characters seem to learn the [[AnAesop aesop]], it won't stick; Mini Wolf will revert to being a slightly mischievious, but well-meaning kid.
* TheOwlKnowingOne: Mini Wolf's teacher is an owl, and a bit ditzy.

* VillainyFreeVillain: The three warthog brothers, the Grunt Brothers, aren't ''evil'', more like huge {{Jerkass}}es who try and make Mini Wolf's life a living hell.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The town is never given a name, not even in the English dubs.

* OvertookTheSeries: The books had ended in the 2000s, so this became the new source material, leading to a RecursiveAdaptation.
