Line #14 YMMV/LostTalesOfFantasia


1	* CanonDefilement: Played for drama and horror, with characters from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White\|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'', and ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea''.
2	* CrazyIsCool: Doctor XXX, while incredibly evil and twisted, is also epically insane and over-the-top.
3	* CreepyAwesome:
4	%%** Most of the Magician's Council.
5	** Doctor Facilier's villain song, "Put a Feather in Your Hat", with fireworks, musical skeletons, and dancing tombstones.
6	%%** [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] in ''University''.
7	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Hitler's VillainSong.
8	%%* EvilIsCool: Alice, the Headless Horseman, and even Doctor XXX can all get this reaction.
9	* FirstInstallmentWins: ''Fantasia'' has gotten much more attention and favorites than ''University''.
10	* FridgeBrilliance:
11	** ''Fantasia'' is about a devastating war and the characters involved in it, while ''University'' is much LighterAndSofter and more sitcom-ish, rather jarringly so. This becomes genius when you realize that ''University'' draws more from modern Disney output such as Creator/DisneyChannel, which generally leans more towards domestic situations and comedy, while the older Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon that ''Fantasia'' draws from is about struggles between the forces of good and evil. The stories' tones match their primary source materials.
12	** In ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King\|1994}}'', Scar's VillainSong [[PuttingOnTheReich was based off of scenes in]] ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill''. So it makes sense that a human version of Scar would be a Nazi.
13	** In 1971's ''Disney on Parade'', [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Yen Sid]] was identified as [[TheMagnificent "Merlin the Magnificent"]]--presumably the makers of the special weren't aware that the character already had a name due to his obscurity. This might be why they're one and the same person in the fic.
14	** ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'' is loosely based off of ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid''. In ''Fantasia'', twisted versions of the main character attack the characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid\|1989}}''.
15	* GeniusBonus: The references to the more obscure Disney works.
16	%%* {{Moe}}: Shego, definitely. Mickey too.
17	* MoralEventHorizon: The Headless Horseman crosses it when he kills [[spoiler:Hergo]].
18	* NightmareRetardant: In the beginning of ''University'', there is a serious prologue with [[Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace Alex Russo]] about to risk her life, and putting a sleeping spell on her boyfriend so he is not in danger as well. As she steps out into the ominous rain, she hears a hidden being emit an EvilLaugh... that sounds like "BOOOOYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
19	%%* OneSceneWonder: [[Film/MaryPoppins Bert]].
20	* TakeThatScrappy: The Series/ImaginationMovers only appear in one chapter of ''University'', and all they do is briefly get in the way of the protagonists. [[WordOfGod The author himself said]] that he only included them for completionism, and that they definitely won't be appearing again.
21	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Well, given that it takes place during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII...
22	* TheWoobie: Many of the characters qualify to some extent, but the biggest one has gotta be Shego. At five years old, she is forced to fight in a horrible, bloody war against her will, only to see her sister get killed by the Headless Horseman, which leads to her having to burn the Headless Horseman while it's wearing her sister's head and getting HeroicBSOD from it, and all while having to take orders from the completely unsympathetic Major Monogram. Seriously, after reading all that, you ''will'' want to hug her.
