* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: It takes the Sailor Guardians a while before they realize that their attacks on the Snow Dancers in Tokyo accomplished nothing, as they automatically regenerate. Kakeru managed to save a fever-induced Luna from getting run over by a car, which caused her to harbor deep feelings for him.

* StockScream: In the Canadian dub, a Wilhelm scream is heard seconds after the Outer Guardians learn about the second wave of freezings and transform.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Luna is willing to cheat on Artemis with Kakeu, but in a future episode, she does not take it well when she accuses Artemis of doing the same to her.

* ZergRush: During the climax, the Senshi are completely swarmed by an army of regenerating snow dancers to the point they even interrupt their attacks.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The movie specifically focuses on Luna more than anyone else.

Kakeru managed to save a fever-induced Luna from getting run over by a car, which caused her to harbor deep feelings for him.

* JerkassBall: Save for Minako, the Sailor Guardians hold this towards Artemis by showing NoSympathy towards him when Luna cheats on him with Kakeru. For bonus points, in a future episode when Luna accuses Artemis of cheating on ''her'' with someone else, ''[[DoubleStandard they all take Luna's side]]''.

* RescueRomance: Kakeru managed to save a fever-induced Luna from getting run over by a car, which caused her to harbor deep feelings for him.

* WeHaveReserves: During the climax, the Senshi are completely swarmed by an army of regenerating snow dancers to the point they even interrupt their attacks.

* SurpriseSantaEncounter: Sailor Moon encounters with Tuxedo Mask disguised as Santa during her battle with the Snow Dancers. It gets ''weird'' to think about when one realizes it's the middle of '''''summer''''' when the movie takes place — the villains' snow-based powers notwithstanding, and one has to wonder where the hell Mamoru managed to get the stuff from in the middle of summer break.

* MacGuffinBlindness: Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune look for three artifacts, said to be inside the hearts of normal people. [[spoiler: They are, respectively, inside Sailor Uranus and Neptune themselves, and inside Sailor Pluto.]]

* CanonDiscontinuity: Averted, since most of the details point to it taking place after episode 122 and it's based on Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's short story. There are however odd elements, like the personalities of the Outer Senshi, which are more like their manga counter parts, as it's a direct adaption.

* HumanityEnsues: Luna transforms into a human [[spoiler:so that she can help Kakeru reconcile with Himeko]]. Notably, her human form is noted to be "A year younger then Usagi" in appearance in Takeuchi's own notes, which causes issues with the 90's dub where Luna was given a "British Nanny" style voice. This form also makes further appearances in the manga, where it's revealed the other cats can take such forms in times of crisis. The form being natural versus one created for her by Usagi is one of the largest differences between the movie and the manga.

''Sailor Moon S: The Movie'' (initially released with the subtitle ''Hearts in Ice'' in North America) is the second ''Manga/SailorMoon'' film. This time around, it's based on a manga short story written by Creator/NaokoTakeuchi. It was originally released in Japan on December 4, 1994, between episodes 116 and 117 of the '90s anime, with it premiering at the winter 1994 Toei Anime Fair (along with a film from the ''Aoki Densetsu Shoot!'' series and ''Osawaga! Super Baby''). The film was dubbed into English by Optimum Productions in 1999 and was eventually picked up by Creator/VizMedia in 2014 for a re-dub using their own cast.

* NeverSayDie: In the Canadian dub, Sailor Moon says "death" while confronting the BigBad. Later on she plans to beat the BigBad with the Silver Crystal, the power of which will invariably cause her death. Sailor Venus calls her out on this, and Uranus resolves to prevent it.

* ShoutOut: The film is loosely based on, you guessed it, Creator/HansChristianAndersen's ''Literature/TheSnowQueen''.
