* ItsAllAboutMe: Mok, to the point where it often falls squarely into AGodAmI territory - this is a man who routinely writes songs solely about how divinely awesome he is, and how everyone must worship him. When people don't ''completely'' worship him, he snaps and decides to summon a demon to teach them a lesson.

* TheBGrade - Mok's motivation--no, really.

* CardCarryingVillain. Mok. ("My name is Mok, thanks a lot. I know you love that thing I've got. You've never seen the likes of me; why, I'm the biggest thing since World War III - girls?")
* TheCaretaker: Toad seems to be this with his brothers and sister. It doesn't stop him from being a jerk to other people, though.
* CatGirl - Angel may be either this or a ''rat'' girl. Singing voice of Debbie Harry no less! (Her speaking voice was Susan Roman.)
* TheChessmaster: Mok.
* CityNoir: Nuke York.
* CloudCuckooLander: Stretch.
* CoolAirship: Oh man, Mok's airship.
* CoolOldLady: Dizzy's aunt Edith. How many aunties run their own tattoo parlors?
* CyberPunk
* DiscoTech: Mok uses music and Angel's voice to conjure up a demon from another dimension.
* DisneyAcidSequence - Care of trippy early-80's [=CGI=].
* DisneyVillainDeath
* [=~Don't Think. Feel~=]: Dizzy's advice to Omar when he refuses to save Angel from Mokk.

* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: "No, ''you'll'' get the evidence!" [[SubvertedTrope It appears not to work]]...[[DoubleSubversion but then the heroes get the cop's car]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Dizzy mistakes a man for a woman in the club scene.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: What's-Her-Face.

[[WhatWereYouThinking Never mind that the only ring in the entire film appears, serves its purpose, and dutifully vanishes within the first 10 minutes]]...
* {{Expy}}: Mok's never-heard full name is [[TheRollingStones Mok Swagger]].
** According to [[JohnKricfalusi John K.]] and [[http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2008/09/rock-n-rule-mok-robin-budd.html his analysis of the movie]], Mok's character design was an inspiration for Professor Ratigan in TheGreatMouseDetective, also a villain.
* FanDisservice: Cindie Schlepper is only in a few scenes, yet she shows off more of her boobs and butt than Angel does in the whole movie.
* FantasticRacism: Mutants. Never mind that the opening narration established that they were ''[[HypocriticalHumour all]]'' [[HypocriticalHumour mutants]]. In a more straightforward example, Toad calling a rat a fink.
* FinalLoveDuet: How Omar and Angel defeat Mok's demon.
* FiveBadBand:
--> BigBad: Mok
--> TheDragon: Toad
--> TheEvilGenius: Mok's computer
--> TheBrute: Sleazy
--> TheDarkChick: Zip
* FourManBand:
--> TheHero: Omar
--> TheLancer: Angel

--> TheBigGuy: Stretch
* FurriesAreEasierToDraw - Justified. If you'd like to see Nelvana's skill at animating humans at around the time they started this film, check out the Boba Fett scene in the ''StarWarsHolidaySpecial''.
* FurryConfusion - The scene where a Dog-Woman character gives a Rat-man a tattoo of a traditional [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] (fish tail on a human lady) as a non-anthropomorphic cat looks on is practically a LampshadeHanging.
* FunbagAirbag: Stretch turns right and his face wedges into a lady's chest in Club 666. She doesn't appreciate it.
* GenkiGirl - Cindie. Toad forces her to leave the club. Then [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse she disappears from the movie]].
* GetALoadOfThatSquare: Cindie's reaction to Angel trying to [[TotallyRadical sound hip]].
* GoGoEnslavement: Angel's outfit during the finale.
* {{Gonk}}: Mok to high levels.
* GoodBadGirl: Angel is only really intimate with Omar, but she's not above using feminine charms to get her way.
* GRatedDrug - The Edison balls. You wait and wait for someone to say "I'm trippin' balls!" though.
** Considering Mok smokes marijuana and snorts cocaine, and at Club 666 they're selling 'ludes and uppers, the Edison Balls are more of a ShoutOut to ''{{Sleeper}}''.
* HeelRealization: Zip, thanks to Uncle Mikey. [[spoiler: It leads to his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Zip. Though in the original Canadian verssion, it's not permanent.]]
* HeyItsThatVoice" Mok is voiced by [[TheVelvetUnderground Lou Reed]], appropriately enough.
** Actually, Mok is voiced by Don Francks, who had previously done the voice for Boba Fett's first appearance in the Nelvana-animated segment for the infamous [[TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial Star Wars Holiday Special]]. Francks is also the father of [[TinyToonAdventures Cree Summer]]. Lou Reed did one of the songs sung by Mok in the movie, as did [[IggyPop Iggy Pop]].
** Catherine O'Hara has a bit role as Aunt Edith, you little scumbag.
* HugeSchoolgirl: Cinderella ''might'' count.
* HumanitysWake
* IndyHatRoll
* InferredHolocaust: The first concert burnt down the entirety of Nuke York. It was described as "[[SophisticatedAsHell Whoa Bad Karma, Man]]".
* InsaneTrollLogic: "Evil spelled backwards is 'live', and we all want to do that!"
* InstrumentOfMurder - Omar uses his curiously-shaped, futuristic guitar as an axe to severe the power cables of Mok's machine and free Angel.
* InsultBackfire: Between Mok and Angel during a rather [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment creative torture session with Omar and the others.]]
-->'''Angel''': "You-you're totally crazy!"
-->'''Mok''': (completely unfazed): "Thank you. Shall we see them off?"
* IWantSong: Angel's song qualifies. It's essentially about her faithfulness to Omar, despite his apparent coldness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Omar. At first he seems to be an all-out {{Jerkass}}, but then [[LoveRedeems he gets better]].
* LargeHam - Mok
* LatexPerfection - "Get me... Whatsherface!"
* MadScientist: Mok. He's even got an outfit for it.
* ManipulativeBastard: Mok.
* MasterOfIllusion: Mok.
* MushroomSamba
* NeverSayDie
* NippleAndDimed: Several times in the club.
* NoManOfWomanBorn: Mok's computer predicts that the demon can only be turned back by "the magic of ''one'' voice, ''one'' heart, ''one'' soul," but then adds there is "no one" who can stop his plan. [[spoiler: Mok doesn't count on Omar and Angel singing ''together'' as one voice, one heart and one soul.]]
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Angel tries thwarting Mokk's plans by seducing him, but he catches on too quick.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: Mok. This lasts about two seconds before the computer [[LampshadeHanging calls it cliché]] and explains that he ''can'' be stopped.
* ObviouslyEvil - Mok. He's so incredibly creepy in everything he does, it makes one wonder how he can be popular enough for an album to go "from gold to platinum to plutonium(?) in one day".
** AffablyEvil - Need I say more?
** We don't see anything of what Mokk was like when he started his career, he could have been considerably more appealing and his long career having resulted in his ego expanding to the point of his decay into the evil he became. This would explain his ratings dropping to the point he can't sell out his concerts anymore, he simply couldn't conceal his evil enough anymore and only the most blind fans remained.
* OffModel - Quite a bit of the animation doesn't sync up with the soundtrack, along with occasional bits of delayed reactions. But then again, it's not much of a surprise considering these are the same people who created the animated segment in the ''StarWarsHolidaySpecial''.
* PantyShot: There are none of these, as it's easier to describe when you ''can't'' see Cindie's underwear.
* PeoplePuppets: What Mok does to Angel.
* PettingZooPeople - Most of the cast. The [[CartoonCreature exact species]] of several of the characters is up for debate.
** And the movie forgets it most of the time anyway - [[FurryDenial characters still refer to each other as "men", "human beings", etc]].
* PluckyComicRelief: Stretch, and two of the three Rollerskating Schlepper Brothers.
* PoliceAreUseless: Officer Quadhole and the Nuke York border guard.
* PoliceState: Ohm Town has ridiculous laws against things like "improper swimwear". And then when Nuke York has a blackout, it means the city is put under martial law.
* ThePowerOfLove
* ThePowerOfRock - It is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* PrepareToDie:[[spoiler:"My brother's '''dead'''!"]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath:[[spoiler:Zip, temporarily.]]
* RollerbladeGood: The Schleppers are always wearing roller-skates for some reason.
* ScreamingWarrior: Omar
* ShoutOut: Mok '''''does''''' look a bit like either Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger.
* SlowDoors
* SophisticatedAsHell: The news anchor.
* TakeThat: The "Uncle Mikey" scene and the conversation between Mok and his minion afterwards, in addition to being one of the best scenes in the movie, is a straight-up slam on moral relativism.
* ThisCannotBe: [[OhCrap "You can't do this to me!]] '''[[ThisIsSparta I! AM! MOK!]]'''"
* ThoseTwoGuys - Stretch and Dizzy
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Guys]] - The Rollerskating Schlepper Brothers, Toad, Sleazy and Zip.
--->'''Mok:''' ''Mes assistantes stupide.''
--->'''Sleazy:''' [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench I just love it when he speaks French.]]
* TimTaylorTechnology
* TokenGoodTeammate: Zip serves Mok primarily because he doesn't know better. When he starts to question Mok's actions, [[HeelFaceTurn well...]]
* TroubledButCute - Omar
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Zip in the original version.]]
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Mok has several costume changes in the movie. This even extends to his hair, since it's all wigs.
* VillainSong: 'My name is Mok' and its attendant DisneyAcidSequence. Plus there's the fact that it was sung by Lou Reed which only adds to the awesomeness.
* VillainousBreakdown: Mok goes beserk with outrage as Omar and Angel banish his demon.
** He also has a more minor freakout earlier in the movie after another defiant speech by Angel. He goes into his costume room and goes completely beserk for a little while before one of his henchmen find him.
* WatchItStoned: For example, this movie.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome
* WhatIsEvil - The aforementioned "Uncle Mikey" scene.
* WickedCultured: Mok.
* WretchedHive: Club 666.
* YoureInsane: Angle to Mok. Mok doesn't mind.

Mok, a legendary super rocker, has retired to Ohmtown. There his computers work at deciphering an ancient code which would unlock a doorway between this world and another dimension. Obssessed with his dark experiment, Mok himself searches for the last crucial component: a very special voice.''
-->-- OpeningNarration
In this [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot gloriously insane]] animated film from Canada (The first entirely produced within that country), a [[EvilSorcerer dark magician]] [[SmallNameBigEgo aging rock star]]'s wicked plan to summon a [[EldritchAbomination grotesque demon]] are thwarted by [[PettingZooPeople Furries]] who sing [[ThePowerOfRock early 80's rock music]] about ThePowerOfLove.
Yes, that is the actual plot.
Compare ''{{Jem}}'' and ''KiddVideo''.

!!Tropes used include:
* AfterTheEnd - There's some jazz in the prologue about how a disaster killed off all the humans and now extremely anthropomorphic animals have taken our place as detailed in the quote above. Because why the hell not? It has ''absolutely'' no bearing on the plot at all, just [[MST3KMantra go with it]].
* AirVentPassageway: Cindy Schlepper escapes this way every Saturday night, apparently, which is convenient for Angel.
* AllDrummersAreAnimals: Averted by Dizzy, TheSmartGuy and the drummer of the FiveManBand.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Angel for Omar, probably, though she's not exactly a saint herself.
* AllPartOfTheShow: [[spoiler: After the demon is sent back and Mok vanishes, Mylar states this, and claims that Mok's just backstage relaxing.]]
* AntiLoveSong - ''Born to Raise Hell'' ("You're so pretty / Pretty useless!")
* BadassDamsel: Angel doesn't put up with being kidnapped and refuses to cooperate with Mokk so much that he finally has her drugged and wired to a computer just to make her sing.
* BaldOfEvil: Mok. Any hair he has is really a wig.
* BandToon - Technically.
* Either BigBeautifulWoman or BrawnHilda: Cindy. In-universe, likely the former.
* BigDamnHeroes: Omar's CrazyAwesome attempt at rescuing Angel.
* BigNo: Omar's reaction to the sight of an Angel impersonator snuggling up to Mokk.
* TheBGrade - Mok's motivation--no, really.
-->'''Mok:''' My last concert was not ''completely'' sold out!
* BlandNameProduct: Fold, Disa, Nuke York, Carnage Hall (Car-NAH-Gee).
* [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Brainwashed and Corny]]
* CardCarryingVillain. Mok. ("My name is Mok, thanks a lot. I know you love that thing I've got. You've never seen the likes of me; why, I'm the biggest thing since World War III - girls?")
* TheCaretaker: Toad seems to be this with his brothers and sister. It doesn't stop him from being a jerk to other people, though.
* CatGirl - Angel may be either this or a ''rat'' girl. Singing voice of Debbie Harry no less! (Her speaking voice was Susan Roman.)
* TheChessmaster: Mok.
* CityNoir: Nuke York.
* CloudCuckooLander: Stretch.
* CoolAirship: Oh man, Mok's airship.
* CoolOldLady: Dizzy's aunt Edith. How many aunties run their own tattoo parlors?
* CyberPunk
* DiscoTech: Mok uses music and Angel's voice to conjure up a demon from another dimension.
* DisneyAcidSequence - Care of trippy early-80's [=CGI=].
* DisneyVillainDeath
* [=~Don't Think. Feel~=]: Dizzy's advice to Omar when he refuses to save Angel from Mokk.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Dizzy can't drive yet ends up doing so three times in the movie. Two of these end up with the car getting wrecked.
* DuckSeasonRabbitSeason: "No, ''you'll'' get the evidence!" [[SubvertedTrope It appears not to work]]...[[DoubleSubversion but then the heroes get the cop's car]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Dizzy mistakes a man for a woman in the club scene.
* EldritchAbomination: Mok's demon. Made possible by the creative use of cow brains.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Dizzy's real name is Alphonse. Only his aunt Edith calls him that.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: What's-Her-Face.
* EvilLaugh: Mok enjoys doing this so much he'll pull it randomly.
* EvillyAffable: Mok is ''not'' AffablyEvil...
* ExecutiveMeddling - Before releasing the film to US theaters, {{MGM}} redubbed the hero's part completely and changed the title to ''Ring of Power''. [[WhatWereYouThinking Never mind that the only ring in the entire film appears, serves its purpose, and dutifully vanishes within the first 10 minutes]]...
* {{Expy}}: Mok's never-heard full name is [[TheRollingStones Mok Swagger]].
** According to [[JohnKricfalusi John K.]] and [[http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2008/09/rock-n-rule-mok-robin-budd.html his analysis of the movie]], Mok's character design was an inspiration for Professor Ratigan in TheGreatMouseDetective, also a villain.
* FanDisservice: Cindie Schlepper is only in a few scenes, yet she shows off more of her boobs and butt than Angel does in the whole movie.
* FantasticRacism: Mutants. Never mind that the opening narration established that they were ''[[HypocriticalHumour all]]'' [[HypocriticalHumour mutants]]. In a more straightforward example, Toad calling a rat a fink.
* FinalLoveDuet: How Omar and Angel defeat Mok's demon.
* FiveBadBand:
--> BigBad: Mok
--> TheDragon: Toad
--> TheEvilGenius: Mok's computer
--> TheBrute: Sleazy
--> TheDarkChick: Zip
* FourManBand:
--> TheHero: Omar
--> TheLancer: Angel
--> TheSmartGuy: Dizzy
--> TheBigGuy: Stretch
* FurriesAreEasierToDraw - Justified. If you'd like to see Nelvana's skill at animating humans at around the time they started this film, check out the Boba Fett scene in the ''StarWarsHolidaySpecial''.
* FurryConfusion - The scene where a Dog-Woman character gives a Rat-man a tattoo of a traditional [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]] (fish tail on a human lady) as a non-anthropomorphic cat looks on is practically a LampshadeHanging.
* FunbagAirbag: Stretch turns right and his face wedges into a lady's chest in Club 666. She doesn't appreciate it.
* GenkiGirl - Cindie. Toad forces her to leave the club. Then [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse she disappears from the movie]].
* GetALoadOfThatSquare: Cindie's reaction to Angel trying to [[TotallyRadical sound hip]].
* GoGoEnslavement: Angel's outfit during the finale.
* {{Gonk}}: Mok to high levels.
* GoodBadGirl: Angel is only really intimate with Omar, but she's not above using feminine charms to get her way.
* GRatedDrug - The Edison balls. You wait and wait for someone to say "I'm trippin' balls!" though.
** Considering Mok smokes marijuana and snorts cocaine, and at Club 666 they're selling 'ludes and uppers, the Edison Balls are more of a ShoutOut to ''{{Sleeper}}''.
* HeelRealization: Zip, thanks to Uncle Mikey. [[spoiler: It leads to his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Zip. Though in the original Canadian verssion, it's not permanent.]]
* HeyItsThatVoice" Mok is voiced by [[TheVelvetUnderground Lou Reed]], appropriately enough.
** Actually, Mok is voiced by Don Francks, who had previously done the voice for Boba Fett's first appearance in the Nelvana-animated segment for the infamous [[TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial Star Wars Holiday Special]]. Francks is also the father of [[TinyToonAdventures Cree Summer]]. Lou Reed did one of the songs sung by Mok in the movie, as did [[IggyPop Iggy Pop]].
** Catherine O'Hara has a bit role as Aunt Edith, you little scumbag.
* HugeSchoolgirl: Cinderella ''might'' count.
* HumanitysWake
* IndyHatRoll
* InferredHolocaust: The first concert burnt down the entirety of Nuke York. It was described as "[[SophisticatedAsHell Whoa Bad Karma, Man]]".
* InsaneTrollLogic: "Evil spelled backwards is 'live', and we all want to do that!"
* InstrumentOfMurder - Omar uses his curiously-shaped, futuristic guitar as an axe to severe the power cables of Mok's machine and free Angel.
* InsultBackfire: Between Mok and Angel during a rather [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment creative torture session with Omar and the others.]]
-->'''Angel''': "You-you're totally crazy!"
-->'''Mok''': (completely unfazed): "Thank you. Shall we see them off?"
* IWantSong: Angel's song qualifies. It's essentially about her faithfulness to Omar, despite his apparent coldness.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Omar. At first he seems to be an all-out {{Jerkass}}, but then [[LoveRedeems he gets better]].
* LargeHam - Mok
* LatexPerfection - "Get me... Whatsherface!"
* MadScientist: Mok. He's even got an outfit for it.
* ManipulativeBastard: Mok.
* MasterOfIllusion: Mok.
* MushroomSamba
* NeverSayDie
* NippleAndDimed: Several times in the club.
* NoManOfWomanBorn: Mok's computer predicts that the demon can only be turned back by "the magic of ''one'' voice, ''one'' heart, ''one'' soul," but then adds there is "no one" who can stop his plan. [[spoiler: Mok doesn't count on Omar and Angel singing ''together'' as one voice, one heart and one soul.]]
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Angel tries thwarting Mokk's plans by seducing him, but he catches on too quick.
* NothingCanStopUsNow: Mok. This lasts about two seconds before the computer [[LampshadeHanging calls it cliché]] and explains that he ''can'' be stopped.
* ObviouslyEvil - Mok. He's so incredibly creepy in everything he does, it makes one wonder how he can be popular enough for an album to go "from gold to platinum to plutonium(?) in one day".
** AffablyEvil - Need I say more?
** We don't see anything of what Mokk was like when he started his career, he could have been considerably more appealing and his long career having resulted in his ego expanding to the point of his decay into the evil he became. This would explain his ratings dropping to the point he can't sell out his concerts anymore, he simply couldn't conceal his evil enough anymore and only the most blind fans remained.
* OffModel - Quite a bit of the animation doesn't sync up with the soundtrack, along with occasional bits of delayed reactions. But then again, it's not much of a surprise considering these are the same people who created the animated segment in the ''StarWarsHolidaySpecial''.
* PantyShot: There are none of these, as it's easier to describe when you ''can't'' see Cindie's underwear.
* PeoplePuppets: What Mok does to Angel.
* PettingZooPeople - Most of the cast. The [[CartoonCreature exact species]] of several of the characters is up for debate.
** And the movie forgets it most of the time anyway - [[FurryDenial characters still refer to each other as "men", "human beings", etc]].
* PluckyComicRelief: Stretch, and two of the three Rollerskating Schlepper Brothers.
* PoliceAreUseless: Officer Quadhole and the Nuke York border guard.
* PoliceState: Ohm Town has ridiculous laws against things like "improper swimwear". And then when Nuke York has a blackout, it means the city is put under martial law.
* ThePowerOfLove
* ThePowerOfRock - It is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* PrepareToDie:[[spoiler:"My brother's '''dead'''!"]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath:[[spoiler:Zip, temporarily.]]
* RollerbladeGood: The Schleppers are always wearing roller-skates for some reason.
* ScreamingWarrior: Omar
* ShoutOut: Mok '''''does''''' look a bit like either Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger.
* SlowDoors
* SophisticatedAsHell: The news anchor.
* TakeThat: The "Uncle Mikey" scene and the conversation between Mok and his minion afterwards, in addition to being one of the best scenes in the movie, is a straight-up slam on moral relativism.
* ThisCannotBe: [[OhCrap "You can't do this to me!]] '''[[ThisIsSparta I! AM! MOK!]]'''"
* ThoseTwoGuys - Stretch and Dizzy
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Guys]] - The Rollerskating Schlepper Brothers, Toad, Sleazy and Zip.
--->'''Mok:''' ''Mes assistantes stupide.''
--->'''Sleazy:''' [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench I just love it when he speaks French.]]
* TimTaylorTechnology
* TokenGoodTeammate: Zip serves Mok primarily because he doesn't know better. When he starts to question Mok's actions, [[HeelFaceTurn well...]]
* TroubledButCute - Omar
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Zip in the original version.]]
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Mok has several costume changes in the movie. This even extends to his hair, since it's all wigs.
* VillainSong: 'My name is Mok' and its attendant DisneyAcidSequence. Plus there's the fact that it was sung by Lou Reed which only adds to the awesomeness.
* VillainousBreakdown: Mok goes beserk with outrage as Omar and Angel banish his demon.
** He also has a more minor freakout earlier in the movie after another defiant speech by Angel. He goes into his costume room and goes completely beserk for a little while before one of his henchmen find him.
* WatchItStoned: For example, this movie.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome
* WhatIsEvil - The aforementioned "Uncle Mikey" scene.
* WickedCultured: Mok.
* WretchedHive: Club 666.
* YoureInsane: Angle to Mok. Mok doesn't mind.
