Line 42:
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: In "Sheep Shape", when the wolf sees the singing senorita, he does a [[Wild Take]], and has two soda bottles he was holding [[Freud Was Right|erupt in a mountain of fizz.]]
* [[Strictly Formula]]: The studios cartoons are notorious for how formula-driven they were, although part of this was the result of Paramount's frugal budgets and explicit forbidding of the studio taking artistic risks--this was an attempt to prevent the studio from going through another financial meltdown like what had happened with the two Fleischer Studios features. Lee Mishkin, an inbetweener for the studio, even has a quote about it:
{{quote| ''"I think the problem lay in the attitude of the management. The bosses would go to screenings with a list of all the gags in a film on a clipboard. They'd put a check after each gag that got a laugh and use it in the next picture. If a gag got a laugh in three pictures in a row, it became a standard and they'd use it in every picture after that. They had a real nuts-and-bolts approach to making films."''}}
* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: Unlike some of the other studios of the time, Famous made the decision to aim the bulk of their cartoons exclusively towards the younger crowd.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Done in "Sheep Shape".
