25	!!Tropes associated with Tim Story's work:
26	* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: He averted it with ''Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'', which has a PG rating despite many similar superhero films, including its prequel, are given a PG-13. Played straight with ''Tom & Jerry'', which was PG, mainly for its cartoon violence.
27	* HotterAndSexier: His films feature plenty of fanservice.
28	* LighterAndSofter: His films usually have a great sense of humor.
29	* PlayingAgainstType: Although it's a bit of a stretch considering ''[[Film/FantasticFourRiseOfTheSilverSurfer The Silver Surfer]]'' was LighterAndSofter than its [[Film/FantasticFour2005 predecessor]], the most recent ''Film/TomAndJerry2021'' officially marks his first foray into family-friendly territory.
30	* {{Recut}}: He made one of ''Fantastic Four'' with deleted scenes reincorporated in the film.
31	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: He leans towards the earlier.
