1* AdaptationDisplacement: Not many people remember that this short is based on a book.
2* DesignatedVillain: The tanner never does anything bad, but is treated as a terrifying villain because he'll buy Small One for his skin. He's not even a VillainyFreeVillain, he's polite and honest with the boy.
3* TheWoobie:
4** Small One, a kind old donkey who has to be sold because he's not strong enough to work anymore -- and one that nobody wants to buy except the tanner.
5** The boy. He has to sell his beloved animal, who is his best friend. And [[spoiler:at the end he never learns that the people he ended up selling Small One to were Mary and Joseph, but does at least know they are kind and loving people.]]
