* TheToothHurts: In the novel, Manny loses all of his teeth courtesy of the donkey's kick (aided by the "YOU SHALL SUCCEED" coin), which leads to his Heel Face Turn because he can no longer defend himself, or chew most of the foods he used to eat.

A novel by Russell Hoban, ''The Mouse and His Child'' tells the story of a wind-up toy mouse-and-child pair and their friends the Tin Seal and the Elephant in a small-town toy shop. The central point of the novel is the nature of free will and self-determination; in the toy shop, the toys are told that they can only do what they're "wound" to do, but Mouse and Child want to be "self-winding" and determine their own future, and live with their friends as a "family" instead of being sold or disposed of.

The novel was adapted into an animated movie in 1977, bankrolled by Creator/{{Sanrio}} (the people behind Franchise/HelloKitty) and [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates]], and animated by Murakami-Wolf (the same studio that made ''WesternAnimation/ThePoint'' and the 1980s ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' series), with a score by composer Roger Kellaway (probably best known for the closing theme of ''Series/AllInTheFamily''; he had just been nominated for an Oscar for the 1976 version of ''Film/{{A Star Is Born|1976}}''). It flopped at the box office, but [[CultClassic was popular years later]] on cable and pay-TV services, especially {{Creator/HBO}}, and was released on VHS in the early 1980s. It hasn't been released on DVD, but the whole movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OWdw1IwdYY is available on YouTube.]]
