History Film / TheHug

* PandaingToTheAudience: Pandory is an animatronic panda bear. [[spoiler:He is also a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of this trope.]]

* {{Jumpscare}}: Three examples to be exact. One in the very beginning with a kid screaming during the logo,[[BaitAndSwitch only to cut to kids yelling around the pizzeria]]. Another is when [[spoiler:the camera shows the real and hideous face of Pandory]]. And the final example at the end [[spoiler:where Aiden loudly screams and bursts his arm out of Pandory, trying to escape and reach for help]].

Aiden, however, isn't about to let a "dinner break" keep him from getting what he wants. So, he manages to swipe the key's to Pandory's controls and turn him on... he'll soon come to realize he should have listened to the guy.

* NightmareFace: You can see what [[spoiler:Pandory's face]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/2/2f/True_Pandory.JPG/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20181017190839 really looks like]] for the brief moment when [[spoiler:he's pulling Aiden behind the curtain to eat him]].

-->''My pan pizza's number one!''

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: '''P'''andory's '''P'''an '''P'''izza '''P'''alace, of course.

** Pandory's appearance resembles that of Billy Bob from ''Theatre/TheRockAfireExplosion'' animatronic show.

AdultsAreUseless: Aiden's mother certainly wasn't paying much attention to Aiden right until the end of the film. Subverted with the male employee who specifically told Aiden not to approach the Pandory animatronic, but then became too preoccupied with the birthday party and failed to realize [[spoiler:that Aiden pickpocketed his keys and activated Pandory. The male employee even showed frightening concern once he realized what happened and attempted to check on Aiden, only to realize Pandory had already eaten Aiden.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Once the male employee realized that [[spoiler:Aiden got close to Pandory, he starts rushing to Aiden's aid and walks over the party table (even accidentally flinging a pizza at one of the kids) while holding a pizza server in his hand, making the scene very unsettling and even implying that he was going to use the pizza server as a possible weapon to save Aiden.]]

* OhCrap: The male employee has this reaction when he realizes [[spoiler:Aiden activated Pandory with the keys]].

* {{Jumpscare}}: Three examples to be exact. One in the very beginning with a kid screaming during the logo,[[BaitAndSwitch only to cut to kids yelling around the pizzeria]]. Another is when [[spoiler:the camera shows the real and hideous face of Pandory]]. And the final example at the end [[spoiler:where Aiden loudly screams and pokes his arm out of Pandory, trying to escape and reach for help]].

-->''Pandoooory's Pan PizzaPalace!''

Aiden is a kid who's celebrating his birthday at Pandory's Pan Pizza Palace, a [[SuckECheese Chuck E. Cheese's-like]] family fun centre. After cheating his way to a huge ribbon of tickets, he's decided he's ready for a show from Pandory. However, one of the employees has roped off the stage, stating that Pandory's on his dinner break, and that you do [=NOT=] want to disturb Pandory when he's eating.

* SuckECheese: Pandory's Pan Pizza Palace. Sure, it has the games and the pizza, but it only has one animatronic character, Pandory. [[spoiler:And he likes eating kids if he can get them close enough to him.]]
