History WesternAnimation / OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansIIPatchsLondonAdventure

* NeverGoingBackToPrison: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] - after some slapstick-filled hijinks involving Nanny and the pigs on the farm, Horace asks Jasper, "Can we go back to jail now?" in a similar tone to a kid asking to go home.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Patch appearing as the lucky dog in the front page headline photo at the Thunderbolt audition unfortunately ends up biting him, as reading the Ratcliffe's new address on his collar from the photo allows Cruella De Vil to know where Anita and Roger moved to and steal the puppies again. She even sadistically thanks him when he appears at her warehouse to rescue the other puppies.

* TemptingFate: After being denied entry to a fur store due to her probation, Cruella asks out loud in her still-totaled car if things could "possibly be any worse". About one minute later, the car has crumbled and gives out for good.

* JumpScare: Cruella's face suddendly coming out of the door and right in front of the camera during the cut from the puppies going to bed the night to the scene where she shows up might count as one because you don't expect it, especially with the loud sound from the door.

* LongTitle: Let's turn all the numbers into words here; it's ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians Two: Patch's London Adventure''. That's nine words in sixteen syllables. Of course, they couldn't use ''102 Dalmatians'' for [[Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians certain reasons]].

* ChekhovsGun: The dog tags Nanny makes for the puppies have the name of their new farm. Lucky has his picture taken with Thunderbolt while wearing the tag which makes the front page of a newspaper. Cruella sees Lucky's dog tag on the newspaper and uses it to look up the farm.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/101_dalmatians_2_poster.jpg]] ''101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure'' is the 2003 direct-to-video sequel to Disney's ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Two times in the film, Patch is laughed at for his pitiful attempt at mimicking Thunderbolt's heroic bark, first by his many siblings, and then by a whole crowd of spectators, both dog and human. Each time he gets called a Squeeky Toy.

* ChekhovsGun: The dog tags Nanny makes for the puppies have the name of their new farm. Lucky has his picture taken with Thunderbolt while wearing the tag which makes the front page of a newspaper. Cruella uses the paper to track the puppies down, using Lucky's dog tag.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:The last we see of Lightning, he's being hauled away to the pound after his attempt to dispose of and replace Thunderbolt comes to light.]]

-->'''Thunderbolt:''' I always arrive in the nick of time...(whispering to Patch) Hey, I may not be a real hero, but I can ''act'' like one.

* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:Lil' Lightning the Welsh Corgi]]. He informs Thunderbolt that his character is being killed off the show, when in fact, [[spoiler:he was lying just to trick Thunderbolt into getting out of the picture so that Lightning can have the spotlight for himself, having grown tired of being in Thunderbolt's shadow]]. Then upon hearing about Thunderbolt potentially still gaining fame while on a real heroic mission, Lil' Lightning then decides to join forces with him, along with the pup, [[spoiler:obviously just to stop them from ''succeeding'' as to prevent Thunderbolt from reclaiming the spotlight]]. Once they reach the bad guys' hideout, [[spoiler:Lightning persuades them to go for an open attack to rescue the puppies instead of a stealth plan, which of course fails and gets Patch and Thunderbolt locked up in cages along with the other puppies. He even reveals to them his true nature and intentions before leaving them behind in their cages]].

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Lil' Lightning. He is portrayed as the clumsy and loyal sidekick on TV, but the real Lightning is jealous of Thunderbolt for always taking the spotlight and plots against Thunderbolt to get him off the show. Thunderbolt is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] one, being portrayed as heroic on TV while he's more of glory-hog in real life who doesn't treat Lightning all that well. He's still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at worst at the end of the day, however, and the friendship he forms with Patch is legitimate.

* AntagonistInMourning: When Thunderbolt fakes his death in Lightning's arms, Lightning cries and seems to legitimately be in mourning, despite being hostile towards him up to that point.

* CatsAreMean: Only one cat makes an appearance, and while he's not an antagonist or is shown being mean to any of the main characters, he was shown trying to eat a bunch of baby birds, but was inexpicibly foiled by Thunderbolt trying to "save" him, and also crushed.

* DisneyDeath: Thunderbolt initially thinks that this is what Lightning means when he tells him that his character will die in the next episode, before learning that he's being KilledOffForReal and being replaced with a new dog (which is all a lie of course.)

* EurekaMoment: Patch is [[HeroicBSOD blue screening]] after his BrokenPedestal for Thunderbolt when one of his siblings references an episode of Thunderbolt's show where Thunderbolt escaped a cage like the ones they're trapped in, misidentifying the number. Patch dully corrects them before realizing that he can use his memories of the show to get out of his cage.

** Patch thinks that Thunderbolt is doing this after Cruella clobbers him with a paint can. But he was actually knocked unconcsious.
** Thunderbolt actually does try this during the climax in order to distract the villains so that the dalmatians can get away. He also seems to do this to troll Lightning too.

* KickTheDog: No pun intended. [[spoiler:Lightning not only leaves the puppies to be hauled off to what grim designs Cruella has in mind for them just because Thunderbolt is also imprisoned with them, but he gleefully reveals to Patch that Thunderbolt was just using him to boost his fame.]]

* WhamLine: Lil' Lightning reveals the truth about Thunderbolt after the latter has been captured by Cruella along with Patch.
-->'''Patch:''' I knew you were faking it!\\
'''Lil' Lightning:''' Oh, he's been faking it alright.\\
'''Thunderbolt:''' Lightning, little buddy.\\
'''Lil' Lightning:''' I an ''not'' your little buddy! And ''you'' are no Wonder dog! This kid trusted you, and look where it's got him!

* TheCakeIsALie: Thunderbolt is convinced by his co star Lil-Lightning that he needs to do some heroic work in order prove he's still a capable host in order to retain his position on his show (Lightning in actuality was attempting to get him to leave the studio so he could take his place on the show) but is hopeless without someone to guide him. So he tricks his avid fan Patch into helping remind him of his heroic antics on the show under the guise that it is a "junior deputy test" to see if he's capable of starring in the series with him (as Patch believes that all of the heroic stuff Thunderbolt does on the show is real). When the two of them get captured while attempting to rescue the other puppies from Cruella, Lightning cruelly reveals Thunderbolt's true intentions to Patch, to which Thunderbolt sadly confirms, much to Patch's dismay.

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Lil' Lightning. He is portrayed as the clumsy and loyal sidekick on TV, but the real Lightning is jealous of Thunderbolt for always taking the spotlight and plots against Thunderbolt to get him off the show. Thunderbolt is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] one, being portrayed as heroic on TV while he's more of glory-hog in real life who doesn't treat Lightning all that well. He's still a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at worst at the end of the day, however, and the friendship he forms with Patch.

* FreudianExcuse: Thunderbolt isn't very nice towards Lil' Lightning, [[spoiler:which can explain why Lil' Lightning ends up resenting him]].

%%* IntergenerationalFriendship: Patch and Thunderbolt.

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Lil' Lightning. He is portrayed as the clumsy and loyal sidekick on TV, but the real Lightning is jealous of Thunderbolt for always taking the spotlight and plots against Thunderbolt to get him off the show.

* EvilDetectingDog: The first sign that Lars isn't truly evil is the fact the puppies ''like'' him.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Patch and Thunderbolt.

TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Most of the animation is hand drawn, but objects such as cars and trains are down in 3D animation.

-->'''Thunderbolt:''' I always arrive in the nick of time...(whispering to Patch) Hey, I may not be a real hero, but I can ''act'' like one. I'll distract them.
* BrickJoke: The Newspaper headliner of Patch at the Thunderbolt audition. The Ratcliffe's fetch the paper, but Roger is too distracted by his piano to read the headliner and he tosses the paper aside. It's only after he looks at the paper does the family realize Patch is in London and not at the plantation with them. See also NiceJobBreakingItHero for more.

* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:Lil' Lightning the Welsh Corgi]]. He informs Thunderbolt that his character is being killed off the show, when in fact, [[spoiler:soon revealed to be a lie just to trick Thunderbolt into getting out of the picture in order so Lightning can have the spotlight for himself having grown tired of being in Thunderbolt's shadow]].
** Then upon hearing about Thunderbolt still gaining fame while on a real heroic mission, Lil' Lightning then decides to join forces with him, along with the pup, [[spoiler:obviously just to stop them from ''succeeding'' as to prevent Thunderbolt from reclaiming the spotlight]]. Once they reach the bad guys' hideout, [[spoiler:Lightning persuades them to go for an open attack to rescue the puppies instead of a stealth plan, which of course fails and gets Patch and Thunderbolt locked up in cages along with the other puppies. He even reveals to them his true nature and intentions before leaving them behind in their cages]].

* KarmaHoudini: Jasper and Horace. Not only do they SOMEHOW escape the police that are seen arresting them at the film's end, but they also become artists themselves, selling sundresses. But this is only seen during the film's end credits. It can be explained because they only followed orders from Cruella and stood up for themselves at the end. In short, they were pardoned by the police for testifying against Cruella.

* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Lil' Lightning. He is portrayed as the serious and tough sidekick on TV, but the real Lightning is jealous of Thunderbolt for always taking the spotlight.

* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: Thunderbolt uses his [[BrickJoke dramatic death scene]] to distract Cruella and her lackeys while the puppies get away.
