* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/HayaoMiyazaki was heavily inspired by the film. In fact, the film’s main plot would provide the plot structure for Miyazaki’s directorial debut, ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro''.

* CompleteMonster: The [[FauxAffablyEvil Portrait of King Charles]] is a tyrant who views himself as [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to have the love]] of the Shepherdess. He [[KillAndReplace murders his creator and takes his place]] in order to send the police force after her and the Chimney Sweep, killing any of them who displease him without a second thought. In order to get his bride, Charles endangers his subjects without a second thought and threatens to [[ForcedToWatch force the Shepherdess to watch]] him feed her love to lions to force her to marry him, and attempts to do so to a blind musician for annoying him. Even after she agrees, he condemns the Chimney Sweep and the Mockingbird to hard labor, and later attempts to have them [[ILied fed to the lions anyway]]. When his plans are foiled, he attempts to kill the Chimney Sweep and Shepherdess in a fit of spite. Despite being only a portrait of the original, the Painting of King Charles proves himself viler than his creator ever was.
