3	''West and Soda'' (a.k.a. ''The West Way Out'') is a 1965 Italian animated film by Creator/BrunoBozzetto. Although technically a SpaghettiWestern (and a rare animated one), it is a pastiche of Western movies from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood.

But a stranger named Johnny arrives on Clementina's ranch. Johnny is a former gunfighter turned sworn pacifist trying to drop his habit of killing.

9	!!This animated film provides examples of:
10
11	* TheAlcoholic: Clementina's dog.
12	* AnnoyingArrows: Parodied during the opening credits as a gunslinger gets shot [[HumanPincushion full of them]] as well as bullets and even a tomahawk! And he still walks off alive!
13	* AntagonistInMourning: Downplayed. Il Cattivissimo takes off his hat and sheds a respectful tear during the final battle after assuming he successfully killed Johnny, but then he smiles triumphantly.
14	* AutomatonHorse: Parodied. A man is shown fixing horses like he would fix cars, including oiling their bellies and mouths.
15	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Urus and Smilzo have some sadistic fun tormenting Clementina's farm animals upon her refusing to marry Il Cattivissimo.
16	* BaldOfEvil: Urus and Il Cattivissimo.
17	* BarSlide: The bartender tries to do this for a customer at the beginning, who keeps missing his glass.
18	* BeautifulDreamer: How Clementina sees Johnny. Even when he's lying flat on his front with his hands over his guns and rubbing his bare feet together.
19	* BigBad: Il Cattivissimo is literally called "the baddest".
20	* ClothingSwitch: Johnny is dressed all in black when he prepares to save Clementina and kill the bad guys.
21	* DamselInDistress: Clementina at the climax.
22	* DisproportionateRetribution: Smilzo kills two saloon pianists, just because they played a wrong note, which is a BerserkButton for him.
23	* TheDoorSlamsYou: When Johnny visits Esmeralda, he tries to kick the door closed and it bounces back and smashes him into the wall.
24	* DraggedOffToHell: Il Cattivissimo is literally dragged into Hell after Johnny shoots him down in a rare PlayedForLaughs version of this trope.
25	* EvilRedhead: Esmeralda is seductive and dangerous. However, she's a natural brunette, and is only wearing a wig.
26	* EyesAlwaysShut: Smilzo when he's calm.
27	* EyesOutOfSight: One of Clementina's cows has a mane that completely obscures her eyes.
28	* FatAndSkinny: Urus (fat) and Smilzo (skinny)
29	* FatBastard: Il Cattivissimo and Ursus.
30	* GigglingVillain: Smilzo, constantly.
31	* GoingNative: Esmeralda, after being willingly carried off by an Indian, is shown wearing a feather headdress.
32	* GunTwirling: Il Cattivissimo, Smilzo and Johnny do this. Johnny goes the extra mile and twirls his ''cigarette''.
33	* HartmanHips: Esmeralda has enormous hips, though she could just be wearing a bustle. Clementina on the other hand definitely has very wide hips given she only ever wears jeans.
34	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Esmeralda.]]
35	* HiddenEyes: Johnny's eyes are constantly hidden by his hat.
36	* TheHyena: Again, Smilzo.
37	* ImprobableAimingSkills: Il Cattivissimo can shoot a fly. Johnny later shoots Il Cattivissimo down from a distance, and manages to gun down Ursus and Smilzo upside down and blindfolded.
38	* LastBreathBullet: Smilzo fires his pistols after he keels over, but half to get at Johnny and half to propel himself off the ground.
39	* LimitedAnimation: Very simplistic and UPA-ish.
40	* LiterallyShatteredLives: After being shot dead multiple times by Johnny, Urus gets covered with cracks and crumbles down into pieces like broken pottery.
41	* MadeOfIron / SuperToughness: Johnny shows off an impressive durability and [[SuperStrength strength]]. During the final battle he nonchalantly gets up balancing the IndyEscape boulder Il Cattivissimo tried to kill him with on the top of his head.
42	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Johnny isn't fooled by Esmeralda's seduction tactics and is even a bit intimidated by her. It doesn't stop Clementina from [[NotWhatItLooksLike getting the wrong idea]].
43	* PopTheTires: Invoked. At one point during TheChase between Johnny and Il Cattivissimo, the latter's horse gets a flat ''hoof''. Il Cattivissimo stops, re-inflates it with a bike pump and resumes running.
44	* RidingIntoTheSunset: Parodied. The sun sets ''very'' rapidly so that Johnny and Clementina can ride off towards it.
45	* SacrificialLion: Clementina's dog. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted; he's badly hurt but still alive in the ending.]]
46	* SpaghettiWestern: A parody of Hollywood Westerns, but made in Italy.
47	* TeethFlying: Johnny knocks a tooth out of Ursus when they first meet.
48	* TechnicalPacifist: Johnny. He just shoots cans most of the time.
