3	''Disney's Anne Frank'' is an[[note]](imaginary)[[/note]] animated film released by Creator/{{Disney}} in Spring 1989. It is very, ''very'' loosely based on ''Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl'' (or most commonly known as "The Diary of Anne Frank") but takes a lot of liberties with the source material, adding three talking animal sidekicks, a Nazi necromancer FemmeFatale, and a HappilyEverAfter ending.
4
5	Despite Disney's assurances that they understood the sensitivity of the source material, it was critically panned for its handling of the Holocaust, particularly the ending, where Anne liberates Auschwitz. It was a BoxOfficeBomb and was largely buried by Disney outside of two home video releases (in 1990 and 2003), a limited theatrical re-release in 1995 to promote ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'' (since it is the other Disney animated film that is loosely based on a historical figure), and once-in-a-blue-moon TV airings (and both home video releases have ''no reviews on the box at all'', a la ''Film/{{Gigli}}''), and is the company's second-most infamous film after ''Film/SongOfTheSouth''.

7	This film has a rather fascinating behind-the-scenes history, though.[[note]](Basically, this movie was never actually made or conceived by Disney. The premise and poster were a joke used by [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Lindsay Ellis]] in her 5 Least Awful Disney Animated Sequels video to parody the {{Disneyfication}} of real events {such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}''}, and serious-toned stories {such as ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}''}. All the names of real people associated with this movie are only used as satire. In short, there is no actual ''Disney's Anne Frank'' movie, and this page is JustForFun.)[[/note]] Please keep the sensitive nature of this topic in mind.[[note]](Feel free to add whatever you'd like, but the tone should be that of a sincere, but extremely misguided, effort by a studio that didn't think too hard about the UnfortunateImplications. And the number of characters, songs, etc, should be within the limits of an animated film. Otherwise, anything goes. Remember, this whole thing's just for fun - the film itself doesn't even exist. It was meant as a joke on the part of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick. We just took it and ran with it.)[[/note]]
8
9	Compare other such unfortunate films as ''WesternAnimation/TitanicTheLegendGoesOn'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic''.[[note]](These movies ''are'' real, though. So yeah, this page is a joke, but this sort of thing ''does'' happen.)[[/note]] Also see ''WesternAnimation/DerFuehrersFace'', another WWII-themed Disney short that actually played before this movie during its brief theatrical run.

11	In late 2013, Israeli director Ari Folman, best known for his animated film ''Animation/WaltzWithBashir'' about the 1982 Lebanon War, announced his next project would be a more faithful adaptation of Frank's ''Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl'', though it would still be a family-driven animated one.
12
13	Compare to ''JustForFun/AladdinIVJafarMayNeedGlasses'', which is a similarly-infamous animated movie that Disney has gone out of their way to bury, and ''JustForFun/AnneFrankVampire'', another[[note]](fictional)[[/note]] supernaturally-inflected version of Anne's story with a much darker tone and more graphic violence. Compare also with ''Animation/WhereIsAnneFrank'' a [[note]]real[[/note]] fantasy animated movie that explores her legacy with the maturity and delicacy this thing could not.
14	----
15	!!''Disney's Anne Frank'' provides examples of:
16	* AGodAmI: Josef Mengele plans to become the "Great Archangel of Humanity", essentially becoming this as he would be worshiped by everyone.
17	* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: During the escape scene. It even has a mall, complete with German {{Valley Girl}}s out front. And a multiplex, showing... ''[[RecursiveCanon Disney's Anne Frank]]''.
18	* AdaptationDyeJob: Some of the promotional materials show that in the film's early stages, Anne was blonde. An animator, whose name still has not been revealed, said this should've been the moment when they realized this wasn't going to work.
19	* AdaptationalHeroism: Josef Mengele was, in real life, nothing more than a pseudoscientific butcher. Here, he's portrayed as trying to unlock the next stage of human evolution with his "experiments" ([[spoiler:and partially succeeds, becoming an angel in the climax]]).
20	* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
21	** Mrs. Van Pels was portrayed in Anne's entries as an nagging shrew, while in the film she is instead a CoolOldLady.
22	** Edith Frank is also portrayed as a mother who [[ParentsAsPeople wishes to connect with her teenage daughter]], but often struggles to, rather than the sarcastic, often aloof person Anne wrote about.
23	* AdolfHitlarious: {{Averted\|Trope}}; while the ''[[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]]'' are portrayed as buffoonish {{mook}}s, Hitler himself is depicted completely seriously in his only (and [[TheFaceless faceless]]) appearance.
24	* AlanSmithee: The movie went through several directors during development and filming with all of them ultimately deciding to abandon the project, which explains the film's uneven pacing and tone at points. Among the directors that worked on this project were Creator/TimBurton (who left to work on ''Film/{{Batman\|1989}}''), Creator/JerryLewis, and Creator/MelBrooks. Indeed, the only director that's credited in the finished cut is "Alan Smithee".
25	* AllGermansAreNazis: Played straight, especially during the musical number "Life is Heil-arious!", which shows uniformed SS soldiers serving as policemen, train operators, even bakers. It even has callbacks to Disney's propaganda cartoons ''WesternAnimation/DerFuehrersFace'' and ''WesternAnimation/EducationForDeath''.
26	* AllLovingHero: Anne.
27	* AllStarCast: And boy those it have one, almost rivalrying [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 The Lion King]]; the most notable are:
28	** Creator/MollyRingwald as Anne Frank.
29	** Creator/JohnnyDepp as Peter Van Pels
30	** Music/{{Madonna}} as Sgt. Olga
31	** Creator/AlanRickman as Josef Mengele
32	** Creator/MegRyan as Margot Frank
33	** Creator/TomCruise as Fritz Pfeffer
34	** Creator/RichardHarris as Otto Frank
35	** Creator/JulieAndrews as Edith Frank
36	** Creator/JerryLewis as Mr. Van Pels
37	** Creator/RitaMoreno as Mrs. Van Pels
38	** Creator/DanAykroyd as Private Ludvig
39	** Creator/JasonAlexander as Miep
40	** And let's not get started with the cameos
41	* AlmostKiss: Anne and Peter, right before they are captured by Sgt. Olga. And again at the end before Miep interrupts the two.
42	* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]]: Margot, in the beginning of the film.
43	* AluminumChristmasTrees: Sgt. Olga mentions that she's a member of the Thule Society, a real Nazi organization that investigated the occult. Of course, in real life, they didn't have actual magic powers.
44	* AmericaWonWorldWarII:
45	** {{Averted\|trope}} within the film itself; in this version of the story, the Jews just save themselves. The army that parades through Amsterdam in the final scene is American, though.
46	** After Anne and Peter get married, it is revealed in a newsreel-style montage that America won the war against Germany and Japan in the next month (Italy got cut from the Axis powers for some reason), and with next to no bloodshed.
47	* AnachronismStew:
48	** Lorenz and Marie-Rose Blanche are a very 1980s couple, modeled after real-life Eighties couple Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, so they particularly fall into this trap. The two sing Mickey and Silvia's "Love Is Strange", a song that wouldn't be released until 15 years after the events of the film take place. Which in turn is referencing [[Film/DirtyDancing a movie about the Sixties that wouldn't be released until 45 years later]].
49	** Josef Mengele in his angel form begins spouting pop-cultural references about ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Film/TheFly1986'', and ''Film/TheThing1982''.
50	* AnimalisticAbomination: Mengele's true form looks remarkably like a swan.
51	* AnimatedMusical: With songs by Creator/MelBrooks, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and Phil Collins. Yes, ''that'' Music/PhilCollins.
52	* AnimationBump: Given the animation department's TroubledProduction, the frame rates are wildly inconsistent, sometimes changing even within shots.
53	** One scene has Anne inexplicably replaced by a [[{{Rotoscoping}} rotoscoped]] model for a brief second, as she crouches down to pick up her diary on the floor.
54	** After Anne is captured and sent to Auschwitz, Sgt. Olga's animation becomes surprisingly smooth as she threatens Anne to run a film reel of ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill''.
55	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Anne's diary, Kitty, is personified as a small girl with cat ears and fangs. An odd case, as she goes back and forth between being a person and being a book, oftentimes with no regard for context. For example, when Sgt. Olga takes her away, she's a book - but just a few frames prior, she'd been a human. Even more damning, we later see her locked up in a cage... as a human.
56	* ArcWords: "Deep down, I believe everyone is good at heart." -Anne
57	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Which, in itself, is a symptom of Disneyfication (see below).
58	** Sgt Olga drives a car that closely resembles a Jaguar XK 120, which in addition to being a British car, was not produced until 1948.
59	** Even though a young Will Smith's voice cameo provided a small SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, not only did Jackie Robinson not become a Brooklyn Dodger until 1947, why would he even be in Amsterdam?
60	** Putting aside the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief required for a small egret to wear heels, a pearl necklace, and an evening gown, said evening gown reflects the Christian Dior "New Look" of long, full skirts, which wasn't introduced until 1948.
61	** One of the Nazis is referred to as Ernst Röhm, whom Hitler had actually murdered in 1934 during the Night of the Long Knives.
62	** There's one cut of the film where Sgt Olga and Josef Mengele marry. He already had a wife called Irene Schöbein, who doesn't appear in any version of the movie.
63	** In RealLife, Fritz Pfeffer was in his ''fifties'' when he hid out with the Franks and van Pels. Here, he's made into a teenager, apparently for no other reason than to PairTheSpares with Margot. Oy.
64	* AscendedExtra: Kaiser Willy in the Latin American cut.
65	* AwardBaitSong:
66	** "Living Free (Until the Nazis Find Us Again)" even though, as pointed out in the [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Nostalgia Chick]][=/=]WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows crossover "Top Ten AwardBait Disney Songs", it sounds suspiciously similar to Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth"...
67	** Marie-Rose Blanche's ''Film/ChariotsOfFire''-style song "Endurance", which she sings as motivation during Anne's seize on Auschwitz.
68	** The ending pop song was actually a Top 40 hit, although it has no official connection to this movie. The singer allegedly punched a reporter for even asking about it.
69	** Some fans would argue for "The World I See (from My Secret Window)" as the preferred award-grabbing ballad.
70	* BabiesEverAfter: While she lays dying, Marie-Rose Blanche tells Lorenz that she [[SomeoneToRememberHimBy "left you something to remember me by"]]. At the end of the film, before Anne and Peter leave for London, Anne and Peter bid Lorenz and Marie-Rose's mixed-species clutch of nestlings farewell. We also see Anne and Peter, along with what appears to be a human version of Lorenz and Marie-Rose, as beatnik-type married couples with children, during the '80s-music video-esque DisneyAcidSequence for "Leibchen".
71	* BackToBackBadasses: When Sgt. Olga is forced to give Anne a gun to fight off the Zombies that eat her squad.
72	* BadassBookworm: Anne Frank. Lorenz the Stork qualifies, especially after the (apparent) fall of Marie-Rose Blanche.
73	* BalloonBelly:
74	** During her VillainSong in a beer hall, Sgt. Olga enthusiastically guzzles down bigger and bigger mugs throughout, resulting in a huge one of these by the end.
75	** Anne gets one from gorging herself after the initial escape from Auschwitz. To be fair, she ''had'' been starved.
76	* TheBaroness: Sgt. Olga, of course.
77	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Anne yells at her mother that she wishes that she would never see her again. Then she and Peter get captured...
78	* BeamMeUpScotty: Several lines which were supposed to be taken directly from Anne Frank's diary were misquoted.
79	* BerserkButton: Being called a "goose" is one for Menegle.
80	* BetaCouple: Lorenz and Marie-Rose Blanche. One of the rare Disney cases in which one of them dies (even though she does get better).
81	* BigBad: Josef Mengele is the true mastermind behind everything.
82	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:[[invoked]]
83	** When Miep tries to cheer up Anne when her birthday turned out to be very disappointing, she leads into a big band musical number with a DisneyAcidSequence going on in the background. The whole thing is loud and bombastic to make Anne happy and flies directly into the face of the fact that at the start of the movie, Anne's father ''clearly'' stated that they had to try to be as quiet as possible.
84	* BigNo: Anne gets one when Auschwitz is overrun with zombies, complete with SkywardScream.
85	* BilingualBonus:
86	** Sgt. Hündin's surname means "bitch" in German.
87	** On the good guys' side, Rose Blanche means "White Rose" in French, although whether this intentionally references the 1940s pacifist youth resistance movement in Munich is unclear.
88	** Given Lorenz's penchant for quotes and aphorisms in foreign languages, every other word he says falls into this category.
89	** Olga's mooks say things like "I wanted to be a violinist..." and "Did you used to kiss your mommy with that mouth?!"
90	* BlackMagic: The villains tap into this, creating an army of Nazi zombie soldiers.
91	* BloodlessCarnage:
92	** When Anne and Marie-Rose are shot by Sgt. Olga.
93	** The Auschwitz uprising. [[ItMakesSenseInContext It helps that 9 out of 10 guards are zombies.]]
94	* BondOneLiner: Anne has quite a few, given her [[Creator/MollyRingwald actress]].
95	-->"[[Theatre/{{Cabaret}} Tomorrow belongs to]] ''[[Theatre/{{Cabaret}} us]]'' [[Theatre/{{Cabaret}} now]]."
96	* BumblingSidekick: Private Ludvig is the clumsy, bumbling henchman of Sgt. Olga. Being a zombie that can fall apart certainly helps.
97	* BusbyBerkeleyNumber: The shower scene. Many have thought the number invokes LyricalDissonance, but listen carefully and you'll find that the backing vocals are actually a jazzed-up nursery rhyme about personal hygiene. Apparently the vocalists were never told they were singing as ''prisoners of war!''
98	* ButtMonkey: Ludvig continues the long Disney trend of bumbling henchmen abused by their villainous masters.
99	* ButWaitTheresMore: Disney, prior to the film's release, developed a plan for a sequel that would focus on Anne's fictional daughter Anya as she searches for her lost younger brother Claus in Cold War-era Berlin, while Stalin's right-hand man Colonel Polov Vlagavich tries to catch her. However, due to the severely disappointing reaction to the film by critics and audiences, production was quickly ended and the animated sequences that were completed were retrofitted into other Disney works.
100	* TheCameo:
101	** Creator/TimCurry has a brief yet memorable performance as Winston Churchill in the breakdancing scene with Franklin Roosevelt, who is himself confusingly voiced by ''Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger''.
102	** Music/{{Prince}} as Kaiser Billy's singing dog in "I Used to be Ze Bad Guy".
103	** Creator/WillSmith as Jackie Robinson.
104	** Creator/ChristopherLee as (an [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] and [[TheFaceless faceless]]) Adolf Hitler.
105	** Creator/StephenFry as Olga's pet gibbon.
106	** John Inman as a clothing merchant.
107	** Creator/DonLaFontaine as a rabbi.
108	** [[Music/TheBeatles Paul McCartney]] has a very brief and uncredited one as [[Film/SchindlersList Oskar Schindler]]. It's also rumored that he helped write and compose many of the movie's musical numbers, going uncredited to avoid potential backlash.
109	** In traditional Disney fashion, there is a scene during the opening credits sweep of Anne Frank's home town where an orange tabby cat is visible that looks almost identical to Oliver. There's even an allusion to a (then-)future Disney film, ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', where a clock in the background of Olga's office looks a lot like Cogsworth.
110	*** The old gypsy in the beginning also looks a lot like an older, gray-haired Clopin from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}'', although he's more pointy and sinister-looking here.
111	** One of the rabbis in the scene where the zombies break into the synagogue looks an awful lot like [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad Ichabod Crane]] with a mustache.
112	** Michael Eisner in a split-second cameo at the end as an unnamed character in the background saying "somebody ought to make a movie about this".
113	** Leni Riefenstahl (producer of Nazi propaganda movies) shows up in one comedic scene, voiced by herself.
114	** The Weather Girls, performing the musical number "Israeli Men", a reworking of their 1983 hit "It's Raining Men".
115	* CanonDiscontinuity: [[DependingOnTheWriter Usually]] not listed in the official films by Disney. Reportedly, they even asked that this site not list it on our own Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon page. Further, when Disney included the original trailer of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}'' among that movie's laserdisc bonus features, they had Mark Elliot redub part of it so that it would refer to ''The Little Mermaid'' as movie #28 instead of #29. Nowadays, it seems that's the only version of the trailer they'll let the public see.
116	* CartoonBomb: Thrown by Sgt. Olga to take out Anne and Peter during their second encounter; Miep jumps in front of Anne at the last second and throws it back to Olga, giving her and Ludvig {{Ash Face}}s, and allowing Anne and Peter to escape into a nearby building for more hijinx (see PaperThinDisguise).
117	* CatchPhrase: "Alright, men, this is it... TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE ATTIC!"
118	* CatsAreMean: Peter's cat, Mouschi, tries to eat Miep, until Anne convinces them they should learn to get along.
119	* ChefOfIron: Mrs. Van Pels becomes one in TheClimax, when she raids the Aushwitz kitchen and fends off Nazi soldiers with various foods and kitchenware, including [[BrickJoke stuffing a soldier's mouth with endive]].
120	* ChekhovsGag: In the scene where Sgt. Olga first threatens Anne, Miep can be seen burrowing into her sandwich.
121	* ChekhovsGun: An Auschiwtz guard literally named Chekhov is shown to often forget his gun at the guard common room. In the climax, Chekhov forgets his gun once again, allowing him and his commanding officer to get eaten as well as letting Anne obtain a weapon to fight off the zombies.
122	* ChekhovsSkill:
123	** Early in the film, Anne is seen playing ping-pong with Margot and winning. Her skills come in handy later when the zombies start throwing grenades at her.
124	** Peter, in his EarlyBirdCameo, is seen shooting down wooden ducks at the carnival shooting gallery. He uses his ImprobableAimingSkills to take down Menegle in TheClimax.
125	* ConspicuouslyLightPatch: A lot of these, due to the low animation budget. Disney was pouring most of its resources into ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}''.
126	* CoolBigSis: Margot, later in the film. Killing two guards with a length of iron pipe and some good luck helped.
127	* CreativeClosingCredits: Throughout the closing credits are short throwaway gags of Sgt. Olga attempting to capture Anne, usually resulting in Olga being [[AmusingInjuries injured]].
128	* CreatorCameo: Creator/MelBrooks voices a funny rabbi that is held in Auschwitz.
129	* CuteKitten: Anne has one, [[{{Expy}} modeled after]] [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland Dinah]], which she's forced to leave behind one her family goes into hiding. Thankfully, they reunite in the epilogue.
130	* DarkReprise: Anne reprises [[IWantSong "Living Free"]] when her family and Peter are captured.
131	* DisownedAdaptation: Unsurprisingly, people who knew Anne in real life, such as Miep Gies (who was none too pleased that her name was used for an antropomorphic male mouse) and Hanneli Goslar (Anne's real life best friend), were pretty outraged at the changes made to the source material and promptly sued Disney over it (more information below).
132	* DeadpanSnarker: Creator/MollyRingwald as Anne, obviously. Peter gets his moments as well.
133	* DeathByIrony:
134	** Josef Menegle takes the form of a swan as a OneWingedAngel, and is shot out of the sky... like a bird.
135	** Sgt. Olga claims to Anne that she has "[[Franchise/TheHauntedMansion 999 'happy haunts' in hand, but there's room for 1000]]". Olga herself turned out to have been that thousandth soul.
136	* {{Deathtrap}}: Anne and her family rig up a series of traps à la ''Film/HomeAlone'' to keep the Nazis out of the attic, and facilitate their escape.
137	* DisneyAcidSequence:
138	** Anne's trip through the concentration camp when she almost dies from the gunshot. The music becomes minimal, the imagery becomes trippy...all for it to suddenly become lighter and lighter when a hideous winged figure dances around Anne. The sequence ends with the beautiful, angel-like spirit of the fallen Marie-Rose appearing to encourage Anne to live (and vice versa; see Crowning Moment of Heartwarming).
139	** Josef Mengele's "Dance of the Grateful Flesh" is brief, but the psychedelic lights and the deformed victims singing definitely invoke this.
140	* DisneyDeath:
141	** Anne Frank at one point looks like she won't be able to recover from being shot by Sgt. Olga. [[UnexplainedRecovery She gets better.]]
142	** When Marie-Rose Blanche dies, she gives a big, long, final speech to Lorenz. She winds up coming BackFromTheDead, however.
143	%%%* {{Disneyfication}}
144	* DisneyOwnsThisTrope: Surprisingly ''not'' Disney this time, but the Anne Frank Fonds at the time this film was made. The ''[[OldShame other]]'' reason for this film's absence from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon is because it was produced under the assumption that ''Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl'' was in the PublicDomain, unaware it needed to be authorized by the Anne Frank Fonds. When the latter group filed their claims, [[PowerfulAndHelpless Disney's legal team knew they had no chance]]: not only were they clearly in the wrong, but the public backlash would have been too severe had it been taken to court (not to mention the film itself being undermined by reality). Therefore, they agreed on an undisclosed settlement, along with heavy royalties and stipulations with each copy of the film.
145	* Franchise/DisneyPrincess: Although not even considered for that line, {{Urban Legend}}s still persist that one can see Anne's outline in some of TheMerch. She is however seen in a princess-like dress made from the blue-striped pajamas during the liberation from Auschwitz.
146	* DisneyVillainDeath:
147	** {{Subverted\|Trope}}. The scene where Ludvig pushes Olga off the tower is shot like one, but Olga survives it. However, see DraggedOffToHell below.
148	** Josef Mengele, on the other hand, is shot while flying 2,000 meters in the sky, so you can imagine how likely his demise was.
149	** Wilhelm and Goebbels also meet their ends this way, with accompanying {{Stock Scream}}s.
150	* TheDitz: Mrs. Van Pels, which Anne refers to by trope name.
151	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Anne gets sick of endives while staying in the Annex, so much that [[IHateSong she dedicates a song to it]].
152	* TheDogBitesBack:
153	** Private Ludvig, when he realizes Sgt. Olga is using the souls of the Auschwitz prisoners to reanimate a zombie army (of which he is the prototype).
154	** And a literal one several scenes after Josef Mengele pulls a street dog's tail.
155	* DoNotTauntCthulhu: When Josef Menegle enters his OneWingedAngel form, Peter [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him out for his actions]] while making a {{pun}} on how his efforts were "all for a WildGooseChase". Menegle responds by knocking Peter to the wall with HardLight, rendering him unconscious. {{Downplayed\|Trope}}, as Peter regains his consciousness after a brief moment, and shoots Menegle out of the sky.
156	* DraggedOffToHell:
157	** Sgt. Olga, after her Necromancy magic backfires on her and the spirits of all those she enslaved drag her into hell. Then the souls acsend to Heaven.
158	** Josef Mengele is implied to suffer this fate, but since his death is marked with bright golden light it can also be interpreted as [[KarmaHoudini his ascent to Heaven]].
159	*** A DeletedScene found in extremely rare copies explains this further. Since he was [[FridgeBrilliance the Angel of Death, he obviously has to go to Heaven]]. Once there, he is quickly judged and sent to Hell. Why this was cut out from the main film before screening even though the film totally bombed is anyone's guess.
160	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: For the Disney Renaissance. It was in production the same time as ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}'', and both Music/AlanMenken and Howard Ashman were too preoccupied with that project to give [[AlanSmithee the directors of this film]] any real guidance. Therefore, this film uses all of the tropes found in Disney's films during this period, but without an understanding how to apply them; at times, it resembles more like Disney's imitators, such as ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' or ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie''.
161	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Not only do all of the Annex members survive the Holocaust, but they also liberate Auschwitz.
162	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Sgt. Olga. Why? Well, in an early version of the plot, she was supposed to be the [[{{Dhampyr}} half-vampire daughter of Hitler]], hence the pale skin from the vampire side and the black hair from Hitler, but that was dropped when the writers realized she would have to be much younger. But they kept the look, 'cuz it looked evil.
163	* EndearinglyDorky: Peter often comes off as this.
164	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas:
165	** Private Ludvig. His mom's face is [[GhostAmnesia his only remaining memory as a zombie]], and remembering that Sgt. Olga killed her and him is what prompts his HeelFaceTurn.
166	** Josef Mengele keeps a photo of his parents [[NauseaFuel etched into his chest]].[[invoked]]
167	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Josef Mengele actually hates Nazi dogma and was only using them to gather resources and power to ascend and unite all of mankind under his rule. Likewise, Olga and the other Nazis are visibly repulsed by his ideals, although it's an extreme case of BlueAndOrangeMorality because they hate the fact that he will treat everyone equally.
168	* EverybodyLives: Yes, everybody in Auschwitz does. ThoseWackyNazis, not so much.
169	* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: Private Ludvig is a zombie. [[CaptainObvious There were no zombies in WWII in real life.]] The zombies were explained on the DVD commentary, which was shot but never officially released - the zombies were Disney's subtle allusion to the Conscription Crisis of 1944, in which quite a number of Canadian soldiers refused to go on active duty. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_Crisis_of_1944#Introduction_of_conscription These reluctant soldiers were called, at the time, zombies.]] Disney wanted to show that the camp guards could be considered equally reluctant since they'd been deprived of souls and, for most of the movie, much of what we'd consider free will.
170	** Might also be a bit of wordplay on [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Kadavergehorsam Kadavergerhorsam]], literally "[[UndyingLoyalty corpselike loyalty]]", which was officially how Nazi underlings in real life were supposed to behave but rarely did.
171	* EvilIsHammy: Sgt. Olga.
172	* {{Expy}}:
173	** Olga has a pair of contacts in Brussels, Belgium that she communicates with twice during the movie - a [[Literature/HerculePoirot portly, mustachioed gentleman]] and a [[Franchise/{{Tintin}} boy with a white dog]].
174	** Olga herself bears resemblance to [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade Dr. Elsa Schneider]], albeit without any ambiguity on where her allegiance with the Nazis lies.
175	** Mr. and Mrs. Frank resemble [[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail Papa and Mama Mousekewitz]] respectively, right down to the designs and voices.
176	** Mrs. Van Pels appears to be an inspiration for [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Mrs. Potts]], albeit [[TheDitz ditzier]] and [[TheFriendNobodyLikes more abrasive]].
177	* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Josef Mengele's true form has eyes absolutely everywhere.
178	* TheFaceless: UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler's face is kept off-screen [[Film/JamesBond Blofeld-style]] during his one small scene with Sgt. Olga. The song "I Used to be Ze Bad Guy" contains several references to his signature mustache, though.
179	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Poor Sgt. Olga. Or not.
180	* FallingInLoveMontage: During the AwardBaitSong "The Stars and Moon", as well as during "Leibchen (Means I Love You)".
181	* FoulWaterfowl: Mengele, who seeks world domination, has a OneWingedAngel form resembling an EldritchAbomination swan with seven wings completely covered with blue eyes.
182	* FreudianExcuse: Sgt. Olga's hatred of the Jews stems from her early childhood, where her once-wealthy family was ruined by her father's unscrupulous business partner. Her mother subsequently died of pneumonia and her father became a shell of his former self. Olga's older siblings claimed it was because the business partner was Jewish that he was evil, which warped the fragile young child into the monster Olga became. [[spoiler:The business partner later became Olga's first experiment in necromancy. The only problem is that the man wasn't responsible for what happened to Olga's family. The business was ruined because of her father's mistakes, and her antisemitic siblings blamed the man because they didn't want to admit their father was to blame. Olga [[VillainousBreakdown doesn't]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone take it well]].]]
183	* FridgeBrilliance: Josef's OneWingedAngel form is pretty spot on considering how his nickname in real life was "The Angel of Death".[[invoked]]
184	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In some of the scenes, you can see a couple (a man with a mustache and newspaper and a woman with curly hair) with their bubble-blowing son.
185	* FunnyForeigner: A lot of these, usually with the Germans.
186	** Mickey Rooney as the Japanese soldier, possibly an homage to his character in ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys''.
187	** Mel Brooks as the Ukrainian rabbi.
188	* GeniusBonus:
189	** This verse from "Dance of the Grateful Flesh" - "I've mastered war./Keep Sun Tzu und Clausewitz./I can win/With zombies built in Auschwitz."
190	** One scene in Auschwitz shows a man in vaguely Middle Eastern clothing among the assembled Axis bigwigs, a nod to allegations that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husseini Amin al-Husseini]] accompanied Adolf Eichmann on inspection tours of the camps.
191	* GhostAmnesia: Originally, Ludvig can't remember anything about his previous life, except his mother's face. Later, he is able to remember that Olga Hündin killed him and his mom, prompting his HeelFaceTurn.
192	* {{Ghostapo}}:
193	** Sgt. Olga Hündin. Helps that she serves an angel.
194	** And she practices necromancy; BlackMagic by all counts.
195	** The part where Himmler is shown drinking blood of pure Nordic virgins to gain health.
196	* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Margot and Anne. They reconcile at the end, though.
197	* GirlsHaveCooties: Josef Mengele claims that he believed this when he was young.
198	* GoKartingWithBowser: The Nazi top brass, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin all attend a bar mitzvah together. They even sing together ("It's Tough at the Top", a song with one of the most lamentable hip-hop verses of all time).
199	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Private Ludvig sports polka-dot boxers. When Ludvig bends to fix his pants, three of the dots fold together to make a [[EasterEgg Hidden Mickey]] for a [[FreezeFrameBonus split second]].
200	* GrammarNazi:
201	** Literally. Sgt. Olga routinely belittles Pvt. Ludvig's mumbling zombie speech.
202	** Inverted with Josef Mengele, whose grammar is atrocious no matter what language he speaks. Foreshadowing for the fact that he is not human at all.
203	* GrenadeHotPotato: A variation. Miep and Sgt. Olga play catch with a CartoonBomb.
204	* HamToHamCombat: Creator/MollyRingwald versus Music/{{Madonna}}, anyone?
205	* HeelFaceTurn:
206	** Private Ludvig, right before he helps Anne and Peter break down the walls of Auschwitz. This is somewhat foreshadowed by Ludvig's often-overlooked, mournful solo acapella early in the film titled "Step by Stumbling Step (I Still Can't Find Mein Mutter)" where his characteristic mumbling is temporarily comically changed into an excellent singing voice. It also echoes the descent into racist fascism of the German state, not just in lyrics, moving from a cabaret-style song into a grand marching rhythm.
207	** Mr. Goebbels makes a more humorous but consequential turn late in the film.
208	** Sgt. Olga was ''supposed'' to make one. See VillainousBreakdown below for more on this.
209	* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: Anne Frank. She certainly wasn't ''unattractive'', but here she looks like one of the Disney Princesses.
210	* HomeAloneAntics: The Annex members subject Karl Silberbauer and his [[NoNameGiven unnamed accomplice]] to a series of {{Booby Trap}}s stewn about, culimating in a StaircaseTumble.
211	* HumanoidAbomination:
212	** It's implied that the old gypsy in the beginning was one, and the one who taught Olga her black magic in the first place. Kinda ironic, actually.
213	** Josef Mengele, although his true form is a pure EldritchAbomination, but a [[SwansASwimming swan]]-like one.
214	* IAmSong: "Anne Frank" at the beginning of the movie.
215	* IHateSong: Anne initially begins "Nothing But Endive" with a rant on how they have endive with every meal, until Mrs. Van Pels leads it into an extravagent OdeToFood, with kitchen-themed {{spectacle}} rivaling that of [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast "Be Our Guest"]].
216	* ImagineSpot: After listening to Winston Churchill's Autumn 1942 radio broadcast, the Annex residents imagine themselves on various WWII battles while singing "This Is Not The End (But The End Of The Beginning)". This includes [[ArtisticLicenseHistory battles that historically wouldn't have occurred until later in the war]], including the Normandy landings and the Battle of Iwo Jima; clearly, Disney was going for SmallReferencePools.
217	* InNameOnly: The film is totally unlike the book, as detailed on ArtisticLicenseHistory.
218	* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: {{Justified\|Trope}}; Sgt. Olga spends the bulk of the film trying to capture (and later kill) Anne Frank, and is thus Anne's greatest personal threat. Meanwhile, [[BigBad Josef Menegle]] is never shown leaving Aushwitz, and so none of the Annex members even see him until TheClimax.
219	* IWantSong: Anne sings about being free from the suffering her family experiences in a song called "Living Free".
220	* JewishAmericanPrincess: Half-literally, as Anne was originally intended to be a part of the Franchise/DisneyPrincess lineup. She also embodies some of the nature of the trope, even though she's nicer than the norm for this trope.
221	* JewishComplaining: All of the Secret Annex residents have their fair share of this. Anne herself dedicates ''two'' songs to complaining: [[IWantSong "Living Free"]] and [[IHateSong "Nothing But Endive"]]. [[JustifiedTrope It's hard to blame them with their difficult circumstances]].
222	* JewishMother: Both Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Van Pels, but especially the latter.
223	* JewsLoveToArgue: Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels are heard arguing in the background of certain scenes, whether it's on whether they made the right decisions prior to hiding in the Annex [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking or which Disney film is the best]]. Anne intervenes and chastises them at one point.
224	* KickTheDog: When the chips go down, Olga attempts to sacrifice her own dog, Mr. Goebbels, to gain a last shred of necromantic power. Mr. Goebbels [[TheDogBitesBack gets revenge]] by piddling on her ritual circle, culminating in Olga getting dragged down to Hell.
225	* KilledOffForReal: Olga and Josef Mengele.
226	* KillTheCutie: Averted when Anne is shot. She doesn't die, but comes very close to it.
227	* KnightTemplar:
228	** Josef Menegle. What else do you call someone whose idea of peace is to have everyone worship him and live in fear for their lives?
229	** Sgt. Olga also qualifies, as she thinks Nazism will make the world a better place.
230	* LargeHam:
231	** Kaiser Vilhelm is an enormously bombastic man.
232	** Sgt. Olga really lets loose with the overacting, especially during her VillainousBreakdown.
233	** Molly Ringwald's entire performance as Anne Frank rivals [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Tony Montana]] in terms of sheer scenery-chewing. [[HamAndCheese And it's part of the film's perverse charm.]]
234	* LastMinuteHookUp:
235	** At the very end, Miep is seen holding paws with that one girl mouse [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics with the bow]], [[AllThereInTheScript Golda]]. Where'd that come from?
236	** The same thing with Margot and Fritz, though that was at least hinted beforehand (when he saved her from falling off the cliff).
237	* LighterAndSofter: And ''how''. It's still one of Disney's darker works overall.
238	* LightEmUp: Josef Mengele, who casts divine light from his fingers and eyes using Quran verses. Needless to say...
239	* LightIsNotGood: [[MadDoctor Josef Mengele]], who is actually an angel of death.
240	* LullReduction: This movie has an impossibly large cast, a once-simple plot [[KudzuPlot twisted and overburdened]] by ExecutiveMeddling, 29 musical numbers, and yet is [[BeyondTheImpossible only 96 minutes long]]. ''Every second'' has either someone talking, someone singing, someone moving, a scene change, or -- in the case of the German army's march -- all of the above.
241	* MakeupIsEvil: Sgt. Olga, who wears burgundy lipstick so dark it's almost black, and has swooping silver eyeshadow.
242	* MisterMuffykins: Mr. Goebbels, Olga's dog.
243	* MoodWhiplash: Anne and Sgt. Olga's first encounter is expository; their second encounter is slapsticky and played for laughs; their third and subsequent encounters are played for serious drama (especially when Anne is shot).
244	* MoralSociopathy: Josef Mengele. Of course, emphasis on [[TheSociopath "Sociopathy"]].
245	* {{Montage}}: Anne and her family clean up the attic to the song "Life Up Above".
246	** The opening has one, played to the song "[[IAmSong Anne]] [[TitleDrop Frank]]".
247	* MST3KMantra: Invoked by then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner after early criticisms of the movie; sadly, the re-branding to Creator/TouchstonePictures did little to help.
248	* MustHaveCaffeine: The captured American fighter pilot that Anne and Klaus the rooster rescue from Mengele's dungeon spends most of his on-screen time complaining about the lack of coffee, and wondering why Anne can't produce some for him. [[spoiler:In the end, he is finally seen with his coffee.]]
249	* NationalAnimalStereotypes: Mr. Goebbels, the German dog is a Dachshund, and Miep is a Jewish mouse.
250	* NaziZombies: Sgt. Olga's is in control of a whole army of them, including Private Ludvig.
251	* NiceJewishBoy: Peter.
252	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The gun which Sgt. Olga uses to shoot Anne Frank with later winds up in the hands of Peter, who shoots the OneWingedAngel Menegle out of the sky with ImprobableAimingSkills.
253	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The Nazi Succubi.
254	* NonHumanSidekick:
255	** Miep the mouse ([[http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/018/5/9/miep_by_jewelleddragon13-d4mu18k.jpg here's another picture of him]]).
256	** And his villainous counterpart Mr. Goebbels the dachshund for Sgt. Olga.
257	** Peter has Mouschi the cat.
258	** Arguably Kitty, who vacillates between human and cat (and who was, in real life, just a book).
259	* NoSwastikas: All swastikas are replaced by black [=Xs=], including the one on Sgt. Olga's sleeve. The word "Nazi" is absent, except (weirdly) in the song numbers, most notably "Free Again". The [=Xs=] may be a reference to ''Film/TheGreatDictator'', another movie that treats the Holocaust in a humorous fashion, albeit much more successfully.
260	* NotHelpingYourCase: The film was made partially to deflect criticism that Creator/WaltDisney - and by extension his company - is anti-Semitic. The film's [[{{Disneyfication}} handling of its subject matter]], the company's [[OldShame lack of willingness to promote the film]], and [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope legal troubles with the Anne Frank Fonds]] have done nothing to qualm these comments.
261	* OffModel: All over the place, especially on Anne's parents during the song "Block Party".
262	* OneBookAuthor: The only film animated by Walt Disney Feature Animation New York City, the most obscure of the Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationUnits (their only other credits are uncredited work on ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 DuckTales]]''). 90% of the animation staff from the unit (with the exceptions of Creator/JimJinkins and [[Creator/MichaelSpornAnimation Michael Sporn]]) aren't credited for much else; allegedly, they answered a newspaper ad placed by Buena Vista International under the false name of "Animation Control Corp."
263	* OneWingedAngel: Josef Mengele's true form is that of an EldritchAbomination angel swan.
264	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: A common theory is that that it was an angel that saved Anne from death. The angel is very very biblical. Josef Mengele turns out to be an angel as well. Strangely enough, he adheres to the original EldritchAbomination depictions of angels, being a [[SwansASwimming swan]] with seven wings completely covered with blue eyes.
265	* PaperThinDisguise: Anne and Peter when they infiltrate Joseph Goebbels' bar mitzvah.
266	* PayEvilUntoEvil: The first soul to [[DraggedOffToHell drag Sgt. Olga off to Hell]]? Her very first victim: the unscrupulous business partner that ruined her family's fortune in the living.
267	-->"[[PreAssKickingOneLiner It's time to pay your dues, madam]]."
268	* PiggybackingOnHitler: Mengele was only using the Nazis as part of his plans for world domination.
269	* PimpedOutDress: Not in the film, but seen in the leaked promotional materials. Apparently, they just never found a good justification to have her wear it, with even a DreamBallet sequence being scrapped.
270	* PunchClockVillain / JustFollowingOrders: Private Ludvig.
271	* RecursiveCanon: The multiplex in the AbsurdlySpaciousSewer briefly shows a movie poster for ''Disney's Anne Frank''.
272	* RetroactiveRecognition: Jim Jinkins (of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' fame) is credited as an animator.
273	* ReligionIsMagic:
274	** When the Ukrainian rabbi counteracts Olga's spells with Hebrew prayers.
275	** Josef Mengele uses Quran verses for some of his spells.
276	* RightHandAttackDog: Olga's villainous dachshund, Mr. Goebbels.
277	* ScoobyDoobyDoors: The chase scene in the Achterhuis near the beginning of the film.
278	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Mr. Goebbels declines to share Olga's final fate - which, given that she was attempting to sacrifice him just before, is pretty understandable.
279	* ShortTank: Anne is one near the end.
280	* ShoutOut:
281	** Caricatures of [[Series/HogansHeroes Col. Klink and Sgt. Shultz]] can be spotted during the ballroom scene.
282	** A mouse as a sidekick may be a nod to the graphic novel ''ComicBook/{{Maus}}'', also dealing with World War II oppression. A few scenes seem to pay homage to the work too, for the attentive comic fan.
283	** During the flashback of how Ludvig was reborn, the scientists both have "Herr Dr. MD" on the backs of their uniforms, as an homage to how Mel Brooks (the lyricist of this film) always wore the same thing whenever he played a scientist.
284	** The clown in the background at the concentration camp may refer to ''Film/TheDayTheClownCried''.
285	** At the end when the Americans ''finally'' come, they mention something about a guy named [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers. Also, the guy making the reference is named Private Barnes.]]
286	** One of the grains of rice is shaped like [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Gusto Gummi]].
287	** The Nazi uniform buttons feature Hidden Mickeys in three separate scenes.
288	** The marching band from the Donald Duck cartoon ''Der Furher's Face'' can be seen during "Life is Heil-arious", accompanying the occupation.
289	** Olga's muscular older brother's name is "Ronald" (an anagram of "Arnold") and he has a very Schwarzenegger-like voice.
290	* SoftSpokenSadist: Mengele.
291	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Several German names are butchered, so as not to confuse the poor English speakers. Most commonly replacing W's with V's (such as in Ludvig, native German Ludwig) but the most weird change has got to be "Harry" which is spelled "Flavius" in native German.
292	* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''JustForFun/AnneFrankVampire''. This film has the Nazis as tools of an occult EldritchAbomination and Anne as an ordinary PluckyGirl with IncorruptiblePurePureness. In the latter film, the Nazis are just as evil as they were in real life but are entirely mundane, while Anne is a terrifyingly inhuman vampire DarkActionGirl who goes on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge on them because of the Holocaust.
293	* SpringtimeForHitler:
294	** One of Mel Brooks' contributions (that was never used) was a version of [[Film/TheProducers the trope namer]] being sung by various townspeople in the opening credits, concluding with the Frank family themselves. (It was replaced with a song simply titled "Anne Frank".)
295	** Rumor has it Molly Ringwald knew what kind of movie she was getting involved in, and decided to make her performance intentionally hammy. It didn't work out as she anticipated, and there was even talk of a Razzie nomination for Worst Actress of the Decade.
296	* TheStarscream: Josef Mengele for the Nazis, as his experiments turn him into a OneWingedAngel powerful enough to overthrow the Führer...
297	** Sgt. Olga also plans to become the Führer herself, as she sees herself as more capable for the position, and thus, part of the climax involves her fighting against Josef for the position after she has Hitler killed.
298	* StarterVillain: {{Invoked\|trope}} by Sgt. Olga, when she send Karl Silberbauer out to raid the Secret Annex. [[HomeAloneAntics It doesn't end well for him]].
299	* StockScream:
300	** Joseph Goebbels lets out a Goofy holler after being pushed out of his flying zeppelin laboratory.
301	** A briefer Goofy holler is used near the end, when the last Jew in the queue is kicked into the shower.
302	** Kaiser Vilhelm lets out a [[MeaningfulName Wilhelm scream]] in the middle of his VillainSong.
303	* StorybookOpening: Used as a reference to previous Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, and also allowed the studio to conclude the film with a TitleDrop of the original published work - one of the few moments they have ShownTheirWork.
304	-->'''Narrator:''' All this love... From the pages of ''Literature/TheDiaryOfAYoungGirl''.
305	* SuccubiAndIncubi: There are Nazi succubi... in a Disney movie.
306	* SymbologyResearchFailure: It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it mistake, but Sgt. Olga wears a sickle and hammer pin in the scene she dies in. Fascists and Communists '''''hate''''' each other.
307	* TakingTheBullet: Anne for Peter. Both of them survive anyway.
308	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Various songs in the film are questionable in their relevance to the story. The most egregious offender is "That Reminds Me Of A Song" (sic), a duet between Kitty and Anne in which the the former tries to cheer the latter up with a {{medley}} of [[NothingButHits the most popular songs of that era]].
309	* ThoseWackyNazis: So wacky, they're comic relief!
310	* TriumphantReprise:
311	** "This Is Not The End (But The End Of The Beginning)" is reprised as "This Is The End (The Beginning Of The End)" during the Aushwitz liberation scene, with the Annex members leading the vocals, and [[CrowdSong the rest of the prisoners making up the chorus]].
312	** "Living Free" is reprised in the very last scene, as a CrowdSong.
313	* UnholyMatrimony: Sgt. Olga and Lieutenant Manfred marry midway through the film.
314	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: ''Hellz yeah.''
315	* VillainousBreakdown: A short scene near the end, of Sgt. Olga ranting at those under her command, has some uncanny similarity to the famous "Hitler Reacts" scene from ''Film/{{Downfall}}'' (so far, no parody videos have shown up).
316	** Originally, Sgt. Olga was supposed to [[BreakTheBeliever realize that she was wrong and what she had done was evil]], and then decide she was beyond forgiveness and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide by throwing herself into the well of souls who's deaths she contributed to]], but [[ExecutiveMeddling the producers decided that be too dark for a Disney movie]] and cut out the bit where she sees that she and her ideology are evil, decides she's beyond forgiveness, and jumps, leaving the "DraggedOffToHell" scene in... But they kept in some of the breakdown, which makes a heck of a lot less sense without the fallout or the HeelRealization.
317	* VillainSong:
318	** "Dial Up Ze Nazi", where Sgt. Olga sings about being in charge of Auschwitz.
319	** Josef Mengele's "Dance of the Grateful Flesh", where he sings how his human experimentation and mutilations are for the greater good and how the victims love it.
320	** "[[Film/TheProducers Springtime for Hitler]]" was originally in the [[DevelopmentHell second]] Creator/HarlanEllison version of the script. And he wanted it to be sung by A NAZI Creator/BrianBlessed! It (almost) eventually made it into the final film, albeit under different circumstances (see above).
321	** The Ghost of Kaiser Vilhelm's number, "I Used to be Ze Bad Guy".
322	** "Life is Heil-arious!", sung by the German occupation troops.
323	** There was a planned song that Hitler would have sung called "Mein Kampf", but it was cut and Hitler was made TheFaceless.
324	* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: Olga explains to Joseph Goebbels that this is why her dachshund got his name, [[YouHaveFailedMe before she pushes him (the human Goebbels, that is) out of his zeppelin laboratory]].
325	* WhamLine:
326	** "I've read... your diary..."
327	** "I remember." Said to Olga by Ludvig when his memories of his mother come rushing back.
328	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
329	** What happened to Klaus, the wisecracking Jewish rooster? [[spoiler:Given the setting of this film, [[FridgeHorror what do you think?]] Sgt. Olga eats chicken soup in a later scene, so...]]
330	** Olga's gibbon also disappears after the one scene he's in.
331	* WhiteMagic: Josef Mengele [[LightIsNotGood uses it]]. It has healing purposes...which he uses to keep his victims alive while "doing nasty things to them".
332	* WideEyedIdealist: Anne.
333	* WilhelmScream: An SS officer named Wilhelm falls off a ledge during the final battle. Guess what happens afterwards.
334	* YouMustBeThisTallToRide: Anne can't get on a ride in the opening montage, so she does...[[TotemPoleTrench some]][[PaperThinDisguise thing]]. When they are walking onto the ride, Anne almost does an IllTimedSneeze, but luckily it's [[AntiSneezeFinger averted]].
