* FiveSecondForeshadowing: just before the climax, the Prince returns to Snow White's great relief, but he's acting strangely and leads her deeper into Maliss' castle instead of out of it. [[spoiler: He's really Maliss in disguise and is leading her to where he plans to turn her into stone. The biggest clue is that the "Prince" is now speaking with the exact tone and inflections as Maliss, especially when he asks Snow White, "Don't you trust your beloved Prince?"]]

* SpiritualSuccessor: Filmation previously did a sequel to Snow White in 1980, ''WesternAnimation/ASnowWhiteChristmas'' - it was a ChristmasSpecial, and only lasted 50 minutes. That one also much more obviously ripped off Disney - by the time ''this'' film was made, the Mouse had gotten wiser.

* AnAesop: The ending has a tacked-on lesson against smoking, as Mother Nature forces Scowl to quit the habit by ripping the cigar off him, and Scowl remarks that he can finally breathe, spontaneously changing him from a wannabe bad guy to wanting to work for Mother Nature.

* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: While Scowl and Batso hide inside a suit of armor, their eyes can be seen from the darkness inside, making the empty armor look like it has eyes itself.



* KnightsArmorHideout: After causing Maliss to fail in capturing Snow White, Scowl hides with Batso inside a suit of armor in the castle while Maliss looks for him and screams his intent to punish him.



* OminousOwl: Scowl is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]]. Despite being on the bad guys' side, he's a ButtMonkey and not threatening at all despite his insistence that he's the baddest of the baddies.

* TheMaker: Mother Nature comforts a crying Snow White over the loss of the latter's friend, the Shadow Man, by saying that love "makes humans the most special of all '''my creatures'''." This implies she is a creator goddess in the setting.

* AwardBaitSong: [[https://youtu.be/oi4RqIE4oEs "Love Is the Reason"]], performed by [[Film/{{Flashdance}} Irene Cara]], is a pop-rock ballad that plays over the end credits (the beginning credits too in some versions) with inspiring lyrics about how "you" have untapped potential hidden deep inside and should reach for it.

%% * GratuitousRap: "The Baddest".
* TheGrotesque: It's never shown what the Shadow Man looks like under his clothes, but it is implied from the appearance of his hands (brown and gaunt with sharp nails and only four fingers on each hand) and fear of letting Snow White come close and touch him that it's probably not a pleasant sight. [[spoiler:Then it turns out he was the Prince all along, with Maliss having cursed him into that form as his form of revenge.]]

%% * GratuitousRap: Scowl's rap song "The Baddest".
Baddest", about how supposedly bad he is. It comes very early in this fairy tale movie and the only prompting he needs to launch into it is Maliss leaving the castle, after which he flies down in silence and suddenly begins singing it.

Misuse; Spanner In The Works is about foiling the bad guy's plans by accident; Thunderella stopping Maliss the way she did was very much intentional on her part.


* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Thunderella ultimately proves to be this to Maliss; Maliss successfully petrifies almost all of the Dwarfelles, but Thunderella escapes and is able to distract Maliss with a lightning bolt, allowing Snow White to petrify him with his own cloak.]]

* {{Mordor}}: The Realm of Doom, controlled by Maliss. It's a place of perpetual darkness and desolate rocky landscapes that's populated by all manner of weird and dangerous creatures that do Maliss' bidding. Mother Nature herself has no power over that land until Maliss is defeated.
* MotherNature: Mother Nature is a mentor to Snow White in her quest to find her Prince, teaching her how to reach the Realm of Doom. She's portrayed as a sort of hippie-esque mad scientist who loves to mix and match things to create new living beings. The element-wielding Dwarfelles are her direct subordinates.
* MysteriousProtector: The Shadow Man [[spoiler:(a.k.a. The Prince)]].is a hooded figure who goes around protecting Snow White and the Dwarfelles, with the latter distrusting him because he's so weird and mysterious and keeps himself at a distance. [[spoiler:At the end, it turns out he's Snow White's Prince under a curse, so of course he'd be invested in protecting them.]]

* RefrainFromAssuming:
** "Thunderella's Song" is a to-the-point but forgettable title, leading a lot of people to think its actual title is "Get It Right", the phrase that concludes the song's refrain.
** Scowl's rap is variably called "He's Bad", "I'm Bad" or "Bad". Its actual title is "The Baddest", an expression that never crops up in the song.
