Crosswicking new trope.

Added DiffLines:

* HiredByTheOppressor: EvilPoacher [=McLeach=] captures and kills wild animals, but uses a pet lizard to assist him in his actions.

None

Added DiffLines:

* HeartIsWhereTheHomeIs: While all three participants are from different nationalities, the trope is set up in a way that is meant to appeal to Americans. American mouse Bernard, who has finally had enough CharacterDevelopment to be Hungarian Bianca's equal, faces the adventurous, AwesomeAussie Jake for her affections. Bianca, who has returned Bernard's feelings since the previous movie, is not swayed by Jake's charm and picks Bernard.

Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: Downplayed, but the RAS Chairman and his opinion of Bianca and Bernard. In the first movie, he was concerned about sending Bianca into danger, and had a low opinion of Bernard (for understandable reasons, as he ''was'' the RAS Janitor at the time). Between the success of the Devil's Bayou mission and their off-screen adventures in the interim, those concerns are long gone. It's clear from his first scene that the Chairman now considers Bernard and Bianca to be the RAS' flagship team and thinks very highly of them.

Calling the flight scene infamous is a little unfair - it's very fondly remembered generally


** Cody is given a whimsically-thrilling motif that plays during many of his scenes, most notably the infamous flight scene with Marahute. This could also double as her theme.

A brief POV Cam during Cody's first flight

Added DiffLines:

* POVCam: We briefly experience Cody's [[TheJoyOfFirstFlight euphoric point-of-view]] as Marahute holds him in her talons, looking down at the Outback that is at least a mile below his swinging feet.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* MidflightWaterTouching: On their first flight together, Marahute holds Cody above a river and lets him skate on the surface.

Yes, Bernard is The Hero, it's even stated in the ending by Bianca, but to say he saves the day by himself is ignoring the fact that it still is a team effort where he has to distract the bad guys and she and Jake have to free Marahute who then saves him and Cody. It's really a team effort and Bianca is very part of it.


* DemotedToSatelliteLoveInterest: Bianca becomes one (in the first film, she and Bernard are equally important in the story). Unlike the first film, Bernard is TheHero in this film, while Bianca's role revolves around her UnresolvedSexualTension with Bernard and being in the middle of the LoveTriangle with Bernard and Jake. Though she does get to help save the day along with Jake ||spoiler: by helping to free Marahute so she can save Cody and Bernard when they are about to fall to their deaths.||

Added DiffLines:

They take some liberties (golden eagles don't live in Australia), but they're a 100% real species


* IncorrectAnimalNoise: Marahuté is an eagle, but has the typical falcon cry as its call. While she is a fictional species, it's unlikely that such a different species would sound the same.

* SweepingTheTable: Early on in the film, Jake the kangaroo mouse is playing checkers (the board is as big as a table to a mouse) when he gets a call from Wilbur the albatross, who is about to land on the runway. Jake hurriedly turns the checkerboard over, scattering the checkers in the process, to look at the bird identification guide on the other side. It confirms his suspicion that [[OhCrap the runway is too short]] for Wilbur to safely use.

** Downplayed. Some of the Australian animals featured are not found in the same parts of the continent; crocodiles are found in the northern regions, but there are also wombats, which are only found in the southeast and in Tasmania. ** The most egregious example is Marahute herself -- not only are golden eagles not found in Australia, ''they're found only in the Northern Hemisphere!''
** Justified with the razorback, as feral pigs are one of the many invasive species that were brought to Australia.

** A fairly obscure one: one of the birds on Jake's bird chart is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowerpiercer flowerpiercer]], which is a South American species - it was probably confused with the similarly-named [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowerpecker flowerpecker]], which does live in
Australia.
