* AlternateAesopInterpretation: Some have interpreted the original fairy tale as a critique of the Tin Soldier's titular steadfastness, pointing out that if he'd just at any point done or said ''anything'' instead of merely standing at attention he might have prevented his and the Ballerina's ultimate fate. He nevr actually speaks to the Ballerina, making it questionable if she even knew of his existance, he never tries to save himself by taking direct action when he falls out of the window, even though he can move just like the other toys and he doesn't even try to get himself or the Ballerina out of the stove. In short: Being TheStoic and just taking whatever life throws at you isn't always good.

** Not really on character but in most translations the villain is called a troll and that he hides in a box during the day. Some illustrations take this that he is a jack-in-the-box versus an actual troll hiding in a box. The Fantasia version clearly uses a jack-in-the-box as the villain although whether Andersen meant it either way is not entirely certain. Since living inanimate objects and magical creatures both appear often in his work.

** Also the original story leaves it intentionally vague as to whether the troll was actually responsible for any of the Tin Soldier's hardships, making him either TheChessmaster or a VillainyFreeVillain whose idle threats were only met by dumb luck.
