History WesternAnimation / TheDaltons

* MsFanservice: Lou, the female prisoner from the episode "The Lady Bandit". She's a tall, buxom, redheaded lady with HartmanHips, who wears a BareYourMidriff version of the prison uniform and is consistently drawn and animated to look as sexy as possible, to the point where one shot focuses on her bouncing breasts.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: William Dalton, who along with Jack served as a faire-valoir in the previous incarnation of the character, is here presented as a more intellectual person, often citing cultural knowledge he finds in books, being a consummate reader in the show. To elaborate, he has knowledge about: the Aztecs, water pressure, amnesia, dreams etc. In a setting with seldom characters who read, it almost makes him look like a genius.

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: The Daltons never DO manage to escape from prison (at least, never for very long). Therefore unlike the comics and the episodes featuring a certain cowboy's adventures the whole plot always occurs around the prison's perimeter.

* RenaissanceMan: Averell has shown to be the most skilled of the Daltons outside of crime: artist (painter, sculptor, interior decorator, puppeteer, origami crafter), cook(baker, pastry chef, french fryer...), gardener, karate master...

* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGoofs''.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Pete and Emmet have... strange reactions when they see each other undressed. Yes they're blushing, but there's also this strange look they give each other

** Oggy from ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' makes a couple of cameos in a few episodes, most notably both he and the cockroaches briefly appear in Joe's dream in the episode "The Secret Passage."

* DubNameChange: Rintindumb, as per usual. While his most common name in English translations is "Rin Tin Can" (with the Hanna-Barbera series naming him "Bushwack"), in modern animated appearances like this one he's usually "Rintindumb." In the original French he is of course "Rantanplan."

The show focuses on the Daltons of ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke'' fame as they repeatedly try (and fail) to escape from prison, all the while surrounded by a colourful cast of characters.

* DogsAreDumb: Rintindumb. It's in his English dub name.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* AdaptedOut: Apart from a couple of very brief cameos in flashbacks and such ([[BerserkButton with predictable reactions from Joe]]), Lucky Luke does not appear in the series. Justified, since he's the one who goes after the Daltons whenever they escape in the comic -- since they never manage to do so here, his role would be redundant.

* CanonForeigner: Every character except the Dalton brothers, Rin Tin Can, Ma Dalton and Ming Lee Foo. And Ming Lee Foo has [[YouDontLookLikeYou undergone a drastic design change and barely resembles his original comic counterpart]].

* DenserAndWackier: The general look and personalities of the Daltons and Rin Tin Can is the same as ever, but both they and the world around them are a ''lot'' zanier and more cartoony than in the comics... though not ''quite'' to the degree of the ''Go West: A Lucky Luke Adventure'' movie.

** Rin Tin Can -- ''slightly''. He's still TheDitz who tends to miss the point by a mile, and a completely inept guard dog, but in this series he's better at actually understanding what people are saying to him, even when they ''aren't'' talking about food.

* AnimalJingoism: Whenever Rin Tin Can sees the prison cat, he chases it.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Some characters like [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Averell]] and [[DogsAreDumb Rin Tin Can]]

* DogsAreDumb: Rantanplan (also dubbed as the name Rin Tin Dumb in English)

* DogsAreDumb: Rin Tin Can (also dubbed as the name Rin Tin Dumb in English)

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In the episode "Enemy Sisters", the Daltons plan to do an [[EvilTwin Evil]] TwinSwitch with Miss Betty's criminal twin sister Lucy. They knock Miss Betty out with a sleeping drug, and as she sleeps, Joe removes her dress so that Lucy can dress up as her. We don't actually see Miss Betty sans dress in this scene, but we ''do'' see William and Jack get rather wide-eyed and sweaty at the sight. [[spoiler:Later on, when Miss Betty wakes up, it turns out she's wearing a rather modest underdress.]]
