1* AnimationAgeGhetto: In-universe, the director expects the animation to be funny and carefree, and gets increasingly angry with the artist for not complying. The movie as a whole seems to criticize this attitude.
2* CultClassic: ''Bolero'' especially is a gem of its own of DerangedAnimation and detailed creatures before the age of CGI.
3* EsotericHappyEnding: At the end of the movie, [[spoiler:the earth explodes and the words "HAPPY END" appear]].
4* HilariousInHindsight:
5** The film poster and the opening sequence of the ''Boléro'' segment seem taken straight out from ''VideoGame/WorldOfGoo''.
6** The final piece is "The Firebird Suite", which Disney would also use for the final piece of ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000''.
7* JerkassWoobie: Surprisingly, the snake in ''Firebird''. Sure he tried to get Adam and Eve to eat the apple, but after [[spoiler: eating the apple himself and going through a hellish world of western commercialism]], who wouldn't want to comfort him?
8* RetroactiveRecognition: The animator is played by Maurizio Nichetti, who became known as the Italian Creator/WoodyAllen.
9* SignatureScene: The ''Boléro'' segment, particularly the shot of the soda bottle. The segment was frequently shown stand-alone, and was featured on many covers for the film.
10* SoOkayItsAverage: Outside of ''Boléro'' and ''Valse Triste'', none of the other segments really stand out despite their stellar animation. Though this can be somewhat made up for with the live-action segment in-between the animated segment; which are often just as a kooky and surreal as the former.
11* TearJerker: Watch the ''Valse Triste'' segment without tearing up. {{Lampshaded}} by everyone in the orchestra and chorus and onlookers bawling their eyes out.
12* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: ''Boléro'' is a masterpiece of DerangedAnimation.
13* TheWoobie:
14** The cat from ''Valse Triste''.
15** The artist is also this for most of the movie.
