History WesternAnimation / AmericaTheMotionPicture

* InsaneTrollLogic: To fine the Gettysburg Address (here a literal address in Gettysburg, the location of which Benedict is supposedly heading to), George comes up with the theory that Abe, who he claims was a cryptologist, named the country "America" as a secret code to help him find it, despite this having nothing to do with Abe or his death and him dying long before the location was even established. Even better, when George solves the "code", it's literally a matter of deciding A=1, and thus the address is "1, Merica St".

* GenderFlip: Thomas Edison is a woman in this version.

* InternationalCoproduction: The film's animation production was a collaboration between studios in Brazil, Canada and Mexico.

** A lot of George and Lincoln's backstory shows them being HeterosexualLifePartners. That said, Mary Todd is never mentioned when Abraham offers to go on a double-date with Arnold and "Rich", he is astonishingly cool with the idea of [[MistakenForGay Arnold coming out]] (though straight/gay allyship might be commonplace given the [[AnachronismStew film's version of America]]) and George admits that he and Lincoln had both lost their virginities on the same night together.
** When George tells Martha that he and Lincoln had lost their virginities together, Martha gives the following line.

* TakeThat: Pretty much constantly throughout to jingoistic American Nationalism, with George constantly having MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments when he realises what he's creating, and both Geronimo and John Henry admitting they're only helping them with the revolution because the Brits are ''even worse''.

* {{Eagleland}}: Adams dips into both sides of the trope. Proud and patriotic, but also very openly racist and sexist, though he does make an effort to change.

* {{Irony}}: The British plot to [[spoiler: turn all American's British...during a period of history when most people in the colonies were ''already'' British.]]

** There are several American icons attending Lincoln's funeral, mostly various future presidents, but also Marilyn Monroe and ''John Rambo''.

** Alexander Hamilton as portrayed by Creator/LinManuelMiranda in [[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} the eponymous musical]] is also in attendance.

* SpotOfTea: As it turns out, [[spoiler:exposure to tea is capable of turning American revolutionaries into British, a fact which the British intend to weaponize]].

* GenderFlip: Thomas Edison is a female in this version.

* FatBastard: King James is about as wide as he is tall has a very unpleasant personality.

* UncleSamWantsYou: Near the end, George says to Samuel Adams (who now after the final battle has greying hair) that when Martha gives birth to his son, he will make him his honorary uncle, and gives him a top hat with stars and stripes as a present. Adams then wears it and says something like "Uncle Sam? Sounds good!" while pointing the finger towards the viewer.

* BlandNameProduct: There's a sign for "Britweiser" beer in the Vietnam pub, then there's "Colonial Sanders' Fried Chicken" and an arcade cabinet named "Yankee Kong".

** One of the participants in the final battle is a patched-up [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie Ben Franklin]].

* HeroicSacrifice: Paul Revere on his horse runs away with a bomb that's about to blow up, to save his newfound friends who were caught in a trap, but his horse Clyde drops him and convinces him to go back to Washington and the others, being suddenly able to talk (with [[RuleOfFunny a Hispanic accent]] even). Then the animal gets killed in the resulting explosion.

** King James physically takes after [[Literature/{{Dune}} Baron Harkonnen]], while his plan is like [[Franchise/StarWars Vader and Palpatine]], with a IHaveYouNowMyPretty moment modeled after Jabba the Hutt. He also once tents his fingers while saying "Excellent!" just like [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]].
