Line 33:
* [[Dem Bones]]: Centipede, James, and Spider face undead skeleton pirates in a shipwreck underwater.
* [[The Determinator]]: Say what anyone will about the aunts' [[Complete Monster]] status, but in the film, those two are REALLY determined to get "their" peach back, driving even through the frigid waters of the NORTH POLE!
* [[Early
* [[The Eeyore]]: The Earthworm.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Rhino in the film.
Line 54:
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: While the rhino from the book was a real rhino that escaped from the zoo, the rhino in the film is a supernatural being with no origin.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In the film, {{spoiler|Centipede. He turns out to be alive, though.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Absolutely Fabulous (TV)|Aunt Spiker]] is barely restraining herself from calling James a "bitch troll from Hell."
** [[Jurassic Park|Roland Tembo]] gave James the crocodile tongues, during which he even points out that James' parents' "troubles are over".
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The Centipede is [[Jaws (Film)|gonna need a bigger peach.]]
** Maybe it's a good thing [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|Earthworm]] can't see the full moon.
** Dammit, [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show|Miss Spider]], I love you!
** The man who gave the crocodile tongues to James must be in the habit of giving powerful substances to young people; he gave Romeo and Juliet their drugs in ''Romeo + Juliet''.
** Or rather, [[Inception|Fischer Sr]] clearly passed on to his [[Cillian Murphy|son]] [[The Dark Knight Saga|a love for powerful hallucinogens...]]
* [[High
* [[I'm Not Afraid of You]]: The [[Trope Namer]].
* [[I Should Write a Book About This]]
Line 80:
** Played with in the book as well, where the policemen and firemen spend most of their on-page time panicking upon seeing the bugs and naming the various kinds of monsters they think they're seeing. Of course, there's no actual danger involved here, since the bugs are all friendly.
* [[Rhino Rampage]]: At the start, both of James' parents are killed by an escaped rhino.
* [[Shout
** Incidentally, they even sell action figures including that costume, though still under the banner of ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''.
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Centipede and Miss Spider, in the movie.
