3 | Back in [[TheSixties 1967]], Creator/ToeiAnimation made a feature-length animated film in between a couple of ''Manga/{{Cyborg 009}}'' movies. This movie was called ''Shōnen Jakku to Mahōtsukai'', which directly translates to ''The Boy Jack and the Witch''. [[TheSeventies A few years later]], this was brought over to America, where it was dubbed by Creator/AmericanInternationalPictures, and became a perennial favorite on local UsefulNotes/LosAngeles station KTLA-TV, where it was shown every UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve. |

5 | Sadly, the English dub [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes has yet to receive an official DVD release]], [[InformationWantsToBeFree but it can be found if you look hard enough]]. |

7 | ---- |
8 | !!Includes examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AerithAndBob: Or in this case, Allegra and Jack. |
11 | * AlliterativeName: |

13 | ** Dinah Dog |
14 | ** Phineas Fox |
15 | ** Harvey Harpy |
16 | * BigBad: Queen Auriana |
17 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Squeaker gets harpified and is downright gleeful when turning on his former friends. |
18 | * DefrostingIceQueen: [[spoiler: Allegra, literally]]. |
19 | * {{Determinator}}: No matter what you throw at them, Jack and his friends will not give up. |
20 | * ADogNamedDog: In the original Japanese version, along with a mouse named Mouse, a fox named Fox, and a bear named Bear[[note]]His literal Japanese name is "Kokuma", which literally means "bear cub", but it can still be translated this way. The same also applies to "Koinu" (literally, "Puppy").[[/note]]. |
21 | * FaceHeelTurn: Happens to [[PunnyName Squeaker]]. |
22 | ** [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Happens to Allegra, Harvey and eventually all the other Harpies.]] |
23 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[EvilIsDeathlyCold The Cavern of Ice]]. |
24 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: A RunningGag throughout the movie is how Harvey constantly lassoes our heroes... but is dragged [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=srauqt2fcncf4balyc8btmq2 due to his lack of strength]]. Harvey eventually learns from his mistakes, and ties his rope to something more sturdy than himself, [[spoiler:which indirectly causes the queen's death, which is yet another example in itself.]] |
25 | * [[NamedByTheAdaptation Named By The Dub]]: Squeaker Mouse, Dinah Dog, Barnaby Bear, and Phineas Fox were all originally referred to only by their species in the Japanese original (See ADogNamedDog above). |
26 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:If Squeaker hadn't thrown the CrystalBall, the other {{Loyal Animal Companion}}s wouldn't have figured out how to stop [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the evil Queen]]...]] |
27 | * NiceMice: Squeaker, although he isn't nice for much of the movie... |
28 | * NoOntologicalInertia: [[spoiler: Once Queen Auriana was killed, all of the Harpies were turned back into children.]] |
29 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: Jack and Allegra]] |
30 | * OhCrap: The Queen has two of these; [[spoiler:first, when after leaving a TimeBomb for Jack whilst escaping in her CoolAirship, [[WhyAmITicking suddenly starts hearing a ticking noise...]] then, when she tries to get the aforementioned bomb off her ship, she suddenly realises she's about to hit a brick wall]]. |
31 | * RedemptionDemotion: [[spoiler:Allegra loses her magical powers following her HeelFaceTurn.]] |
32 | * SaveTheVillain: Jack immediately nurses Allegra back to health when she's injured trying to kidnap him and his friends... again. His friends immediately {{lampshade}} this, pointing out just how '''stupid''' it is, given how many times she's tried to capture them, and suspect he's falling for her. |
33 | * SimpletonVoice: Barnaby Bear talks like this in the dub. |
34 | * SwissArmyTears [[TearsOfRemorse of Remorse]]: [[spoiler: Allegra cries these when she thinks Jack [[HeroicSacrifice died to rescue her]]. This cements her HeelFaceTurn, as it was {{foreshadowed}} that Harpies were UnableToCry.]] |
35 | * TakeOverTheWorld: This appears to be the Queen's goal. |
