History WesternAnimation / TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder

* GayAesop: "Father Figures" is notable for being the first Disney cartoon that directly deals with homophobia, more specifically kids of same-sex parents being bullied for that. Of note is hypocrisy in regards to their treatment versus that of Michael (who gets by due to his aggressive father) as well as the fact that even otherwise tolerant people can go with the crowd and ignore bigotry (Penny's friends, who genuinely aren't homophobic but go with the crowd anyways and admit their parents raised them on the idea that it’s not normal to have two dads).

** So far there hasn’t been any signs of Omar, Duke, or other secondary characters from the original show.

** In a flashback, teen Oscar is wearing Will Smith's trademark striped t-shirt, shorts and cap from Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir. Also he's thrown out by Trudy's father in the same manner as Jazz usually is.

* AnimationBump: "Old Towne Road" has some scenes where the animation is much smoother and fluid compared to other scenes in the series.

** So far there hasn’t been any signs of the Chang Triplets during the first season.

** A Princess Ball in a second season episode has Lacienega as WesternAnimation/ElenaOfAvalor, Dijonay as WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}, Penny as [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Tiana]], Zoey as WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, Trudy as [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]], BeBe and CeCe as [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Simba and Nala]], and Oscar as the drunk minstrel from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''.

* ComicBookTime: The show is set in TheNewTwenties but the characters haven't aged that much, save for the twins, who have aged about 2 years, and Michael, who had a growth spurt. Notably, even though she and her friends were actually given slight redesigns to look a bit older and are treated as such, the show acts as if Penny had just turned 14, even though she was already 14 in the original series and it ended when she turned 16. This is lampshaded in "When You Wish Upon a Roker", where Al Roker points out Penny has been in middle school for 20 years now. [=LaCieniga=] does celebrate her quincinera however.

* CostumeEvolution: Most of the teen characters get slight upgrades to their outfits, mostly retaining the same or similar color scheme but having one or two pieces of clothing in a different fit/style, maybe adding a new accessory (Penny’s skirt is now denim, her and [=LaCieniga=]'s shirts are now cropped, the latter now wears jeans and high heeled ankle boots, Zoey now wears green and has a jean jacket etc). Michael easily has the most notable upgrade, he even has more than one main outfit.

* DiscoDan: Uncle Bobby still is this, but [[https://www.animationmagazine.net/streaming/the-proud-family-returns-to-screens-louder-prouder-even-more-authentic/ now he wears]] Music/MCHammer pants.

** In "It All Started with an Orange Basketball," she immediately called out Lacienega for trying to steal Kareem (Penny's boyfriend in the ''Louder and Prouder'') from Penny.

* CastingGag: EJ Johnson, who now voices Michael, is the child of Magic Johnson who was the inspiration for the character Wizard Kelly.

* RuderAndCruder: While not too vulgar, the show is allowed to get away with slightly cruder content that they could never have on Disney Channel, such as Penny feeling her chest, implied sex, and Oscar even saying "damn". Hell, the rating had been bumped up to TV-PG[[note]]Before the show premiered, it was rated TV-G.[[/note]] compared to the original's TV-G rating.

* ComicBookTime: The show is set in TheNewTwenties but the characters haven't aged that much, save for the twins, who have aged about 2 years, and Michael, who had a growth spurt. Notably, the show acts as if Penny had just turned 14, even though she was already 14 in the original series and it ended when she turned 16. This is lampshaded in "When You Wish Upon a Roker", where Al Roker points out Penny has been in middle school for 20 years now.

* TimeSkip: The characters are a bit older and there's a lot of modern technology. Plus, the theme song is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ymJFF2JZfA updated]] to have a trap beat.

* CostumeEvolution: Most of the teen characters get slight upgrades to their outfits, mostly retaining the same or similar color scheme but having one or two pieces of clothing in a different fit/style, maybe adding a new accessory (Penny’s skirt is now denim, her and [=LaCieniga=]'s shirts are now cropped, Zoey now wears green and has a jean jacket etc). Michael easily has the most notable upgrade, he even has more than one main outfit.

* TookALevelInKindness: Back in the original series, Dijonay tended to be the epitome of WithFriendsLikeThese--but in the reboot, Dijonay's a comparably better friend to the others (particularly Penny).
** In "It All Started with an Orange Basketball," she immediately called out Lacienega for trying to steal Kareem (Penny's boyfriend in the reboot) from Penny.

* {{Flanderization}}: There's hardly a heartwarming moment between Penny and Oscar like in the original series and his comical and negative traits are even more exaggerated. When he and Penny do have a heartwarming moment, it’s always treated as a serious moment.

* ArtEvolution: Unlike the original series' minimalist backgrounds, the revival's backgrounds are quite detailed, and the character animation is much more fluid as well, much like in the style of ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego'' (another series [=WildBrain=] provided animation for). For a bit of nostalgia appeal, flashbacks to events in the original series retain their original art form.

* TookALevelInKindness: At the very least, Dijonay tries to be a better friend. In "It All Started with an Orange Basketball", while she usually tended to be the epitome of WithFriendsLikeThese in the original series, she immediately calls out [=LaCienga=] for blatantly trying to steal Kareem from Penny. She even voted against Bobby kicking Penny out of [=LPDZ=] and defended Penny’s performance against [=LaCieniga=] when the latter was still critical after Penny wowed the crowd with her new voice.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: [=LaBrea=]'s mother. She flaunts an air of wealth [[RichesToRags to hide the fact that her family is broke]] and forces her daughter to keep up with the illusion against her will. She also tried to get her to lose weight and had her wear four girdles to allow her to attend [=LaCieniga's=] quincinera. This eventually drove [=LaBrea=] to hatch a plan to kill and replace [=LaCienega=] so she could move in with Sunset and Felix to escape her mother]].
** Downplayed in Oscar's case. While he is entirely too protective of Penny and refuses to let her mature into the young woman she is becoming, when you take the wacky world they live in into consideration it's not surprising that he's this way toward her. He's also not against listening to his daughters' attempts at reasoning with him, though it veers into ForgottenAesop territory when he goes back to his same old antics in the next episode.
** It's revealed that Suga Mama is estranged from her family due to her father being sexist and not letting her compete in the town's bull riding contest just because she was a girl.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Obviously Penny's but [=LaCienega=]'s family takes the cake. On her mother's side of the family Sunset and Melrose have a toxic rivalry influenced by the pressure their mother put on them, and it's led to Sunset desiring to outdo her sister in every way she can, with the latter holding her in contempt for her seeming lack of taste. This behavior ended up negatively impacting [=LaCienega=] and [=LaBrea=], instilling insecurities that erupted into a bitter rivalry that [[spoiler:the latter pulled really harmful pranks, culminating in her plotting to off her]].
