Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The lifeless face and strange remarks of Margaret can be quite frightening, especially Jack's first scene with her, which is accompanied by psychedelic music and her emotionless look.

* GenreShift: The film includes an alternating fairy tale, horrors, musical, silly comedy and all this under a frightening psychedelic sauce.



* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The music is reminiscent of songs from the 70's when it was made, especially the music the salesman plays on his lute, and in the original Japanese version near the end of the "Tulip" song he does an Elvis Presley impression. There's also a bit of ValuesDissonance when Jack's mother spanks him onscreen.

* OneSceneWonder: The paper priest only appears in one scene and is nothing more than a literal puppet, but the song he sings is one of the most memorable parts in the movie.

*** Some translations like the german one made it a bit less random by having Cosby, the cow and the mice talk. Which then again starts the question on why they can (the magical mice as an exception) or why Jack is surprised to hear Cosby sing.

Added DiffLines:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: One of the most well-known elements of this film is his strange love for the abundance of strange scenes that almost unrelated to each other.
** Also, ''Crosby the dog'' has his own musical number, even though he has never talked previous to the scene in question and never speaks again after it.

* GenreShift: The film includes an alternating fairy tale, horrors, musical, silly comedy and all this under a frightening psychedelic sauce.
* EpilepticTrees: [[spoiler:When Tulip killed his mother, why were her remains all mechanical?]]
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: While the implications behind it are kind of [[TearJerker depressing]], some of the insults the wind-up Hecuba doll shout at Tulip are pretty hilarious.
-->'''Hecuba doll:''' You're so mean and ugly you should be ''against the law!''
* JerkassWoobie: Tulip. He's a villain, but his mother treats him awfully.
* MemeticMutation: "Are you hapPYYY?"
%%* {{Moe}}: Margaret
* NarmCharm: It's hard to take this film seriously, but between the various psychedelic scenes and equally psychedelic music, it's hard to forget.
* OneSceneWonder: The paper priest only appears in one scene and is nothing more than a literal puppet, but the song he sings is one of the most memorable parts in the movie.
* SpecialEffectFailure: It seems that the animators forgot to picture Margaret's opening mouth when she sings. Although, in the original Japanese, her singing voice echos, implying it's all an inner monologue.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFcuRVb0nLM Margaret's song]] sounds very similar to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gRiWWcBKvs "Top of the World"]] by Carpenters in the way the lyrics and rhymes are structured (the melodies are almost virtually identical at moments), but sung at a slightly slower speed and without the Carpenters hit's country flavor. As this was a very popular song in Japan while the movie was being made, the similarity may be more than coincidental.
* TearJerker: Jack and Margaret having to be separated from each other once Hecubah and Tulip are disposed of.
* UncannyValley: The lifeless face and strange remarks of Margaret can be quite frightening, especially Jack's first scene with her, which is accompanied by psychedelic music and her emotionless look.
* WatchItForTheMeme: The film quickly fell into this after WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic devoted his review of it to its psychedelic atmosphere and absurdity.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Some of the scenes manage to scare ''adults'', but the film is meant for children.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Being a 1974 film, it tends to get kinda... trippy.
