Added DiffLines:

* AnachronismStew: The two [[LiveActionAdaptation Live-Action Adaptation]]s starring Creator/SofiaVassilieva were ostensibly set in the 1950s, based on the clothing and certain vehicles, but it seems like the producers forgot to keep it true to Kay Thompson's 1950s setting. [[http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_102460-Ford-Crown-Victoria-1999.html Cars from the 1990s and early 21st century]] appear in certain scenes, and a montage shot of the [=MetLife=] building and several other present-day structures, particularly Times Square at the time the film was shown, showed up halfway through.

!!This film provides examples of:

* AngryChef: Played by Creator/JulianRichings, the chef in the film is loud, dramatic, angry and an extreme worrywart.
* BrattyHalfPint: Eloise, somewhat averted by the fact that she means no harm, but much of her behaviour is consistently annoying, disruptive and rude.
* TheJeeves: Mr. Salomone is this character to a tee.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Leon's father is oppressive and callous, but he means well. Having [[spoiler: lost his wife]], he only wants to protect his son.
* RebelliousPrincess: Leon, in this case a rare male version of the trope who runs away with Eloise for a day in New York City to get away from his oppressive father and enjoy life as a regular boy.
