10	------
11	!!''Doraemon: Nobita and the Winged Braves'' contains the following tropes:
12	* AcrophobicBird: Gusuke is afraid of flying due to the trauma falling when he was a hatchling. [[spoiler:He gets over this to save Nobita from Phoenicia, with encouragement from Icarus.]]
13	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the manga, Nobita wears a sparrow hat as a disguise in Birdopia, while in the film he wears a duck hat.
14	* AnimalJingoism: Besides humans, cats are also despised in Birdopia (since they are natural predators of birds), so Doraemon also has to disguise himself as a bird.
15	* AnimalStereotypes: You can expect the bird-people to be based on how their species is stereotyped. Which is why the eagle is heroic, the owl is wise, the stork helps with childbirth, and the villains are a vulture, a falcon, and crows.
16	* BrutalBirdOfPrey: Babylon is a falcon who is TheDragon to Segrid.
17	* CreepyCrows: The soldiers of Commander Seagrid are all crows, led by a particularly menacing captain.
18	* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: In a manner similar to ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheAnimalPlanet'', the gang gains bird-like powers and features after donning Doraemon's bird-caps.
19	* TheDragon: Babylon, a falcon who is Seagrid's lieutenant.
20	* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:Seagrid intends to use the giant, destructive Phoenicia as way to get revenge on the humans. Too bad the creature does not listen to him, especially after getting hit by the Transgression Beam.]]
21	* ExposedToTheElements: The climax have Nobita and friends, including Gusuke, racing to the top of the WorldTree somewhere in the clouds, and they're not affected by the cold. While it could be justified by Doraemon's Bird Cap granting them the same DNA as birds, however Nobita lose his cap at one point and doesn't suffer hypothermia or any ill effects.
22	* FantasticRacism: Commander Seagrid hates humans, due to them shooting him in the wing rendering him flightless. The crow soldiers also don't seem to be fond of cats, calling them "enemy to all birds".
23	* FurryConfusion: Downplayed. While flying bird-people are all {{Winged Humanoid}}s, flightless bird-people like ostriches and penguins look largely the same as their non-sapient counterparts.
24	* HappilyAdopted: Gusuke accepts his adoptive family.
25	* IAmNotWeasel: Subverted for once when the crow soldiers and an ostrich taxi properly identify Doraemon as a cat (to his joy), but then played straight when Professor Hou called him a tanuki.
26	* KickTheDog: Seagrid and Babylon mock Gusuke for participating the Icarus Rally when he won't fly on his own.
27	* NobleBirdOfPrey: Icarus, a large and powerful eagle who allies with the heroes in the final battle. [[spoiler:Gusuke is revealed to be also an eagle, since he's Icarus's long-lost son.]]
28	* NotSoExtinct: It turns out moas are not extinct but taken to Birdopia so that their populations can recover.
29	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Phoenicia is a large dragon-like creature. He doesn't show [[BreathWeapon fire-breathing]] until he gets accidentally evolved by the Transgression Beam.]]
30	* TheOwlKnowingOne: Professor Hou, a great horned owl.
31	* ScavengersAreScum: The main antagonistic bird is a vulture, with crows for henchman. Downplayed in that the vulture is a WellIntentionedExtremist and the crows are likely JustFollowingOrders.
32	* SealedEvilInAnotherWorld: Doraemon and friends visits Birdopia, an AlternateUniverse inhabited by BirdPeople and accessible by a portal in the sky, and in the Birdopian equivalent of Antartica the PrehistoricMonster Phoenixia was [[MonsterInTheIce sealed in the bottom of an ice shelf]]. Unfortunately, the Birdopian commander Seagrid who harbors a hatred towards humans have plans to awaken Phoenixia and lead the monster through the portal, intending to use it to wipe out humanity.
33	* ShownTheirWork:
34	** The ostriches have only claw on the inner toe, just like real ostriches.
35	** While wearing the albatross hat, Gian has to take a running start during take-off. When taking off from land, albatrosses must run to build up gusts for lifting their long wings.
36	* ThrowTheDogABone: Subverted. When the crow soldiers identify Doraemon as a cat, he cries TearsOfJoy because for once someone correctly called him a cat rather than a tanuki. This turns out to be bad, because cats are natural enemies of birds and thus not welcome in a world of bird-people.
37	* ToothyBird: The bird-people often show gritting teeth. [[spoiler:Possibly justified in that they're evolved birds.]]
38	* TransplantedAliens: [[spoiler: The bird-people are descended from the pets of a misanthropic ornithologist who brought them to another reality and used an Evolution Ray on them.]]
39	* UnpleasantAnimalCounterpart: The main heroic bird is an eagle, while the main antagonist is a vulture.
40	* VileVulture: Commander Seagrid is a vulture and the main antagonist for the majority of the film.
41	* WaxingLyrical: When Nobita asks Doraemon for a gadget to fly with, Doraemon quotes the lines from the theme song where he offers the singer a Take-copter.
42	* WingedHumanoid: The flying citizens of Birdopia are bird-human with wings growing from their backs.
43	* WouldHurtAChild: Seagrid sentences Gian and Suneo to execution just because they're human.
