Dream Fiction Wiki/The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets/Tropes

This article is about the tropes found in The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets.


 * Animation Bump - The 1984 cartoon didn’t have the greatest animation. However, for the mid-90's, this series has really good animation.
 * Arch-Enemy - Anthem and Marilyn are very obviously this. Anthem even once tells Marilyn ”I’m just teaming up with anybody who’s against you!”
 * Avoid the Dreaded G Rating - In the original Kuboian dub, there are minor swear words, religious references, occasionally blood and references to alcohol. Reminder that this aired on Nick Jr. in the country, completely uncensored.
 * Outside of Kuboia, the show had to get heavily edited in most countries so it could air on Nick Jr. and other preschool channels.
 * Bowlderise - In the Latin American Spanish dub, swear words would be either cut off by the start of the commercial break or replaced with slang from Mexico City.
 * Breakout Character - Rod and Zedd's roles were made much more prominent compared to the 1984 cartoon.
 * Canon Foreigner - This show gave us a lot of new characters - Anthem, Hugh, Stumpy, Gunge, Martine, Tyh...
 * Covered in Mud - Louise and Hugh deliberately play in the mud in some episodes.
 * Curse Cut Short - In the Island of Sally, Playhouse Disney would often cut off swear words in the English audio under the voiceover.
 * Darker and Edgier - The 1984 cartoon was silly and lighthearted. This cartoon? Absolutely not.
 * Demoted to Extra - King Rojo is far less prominent in this series than the 1984 cartoon, and is sometimes absent from multiple episodes in a row. In Series 2, he was absent from half of the episodes overall, and was absent for four episodes in a row.
 * Early Installment Character-Design Difference - All of the human characters wear different outfits compared to the 1984 cartoon.
 * Even Evil Has Standards - King Rojo pities Zedd and Rod for their lazy parenting.
 * Out of Focus - Hugh usually just stands in the background whilst the other characters talk to each other. Only a limited amount of episodes have him playing an actual role.
 * Martine gets this even worse - in episodes where she appears with Zedd and Tyh, she usually has the least significant role out of the three. She has also never made an appearance without both of these two.
 * Punch Clock Villian - Stumpy only does evil deeds because it is his job, he actually isn’t evil himself.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl - Marilyn is the former and Anthem, her arch enemy, is the latter.
 * Louise could also be seen as a middle ground between the two.
 * Villian Decoy - Not only has King Rojo's prominence been decreased in this series, but in the episodes he does appear in, he is treated like a joke.
