Carlton (film)/Tropes


 * Aborted Arc: Carlton's "FBI business" from the first two films.
 * Absentee Actor: The first film in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air franchise to completely omit Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
 * Big Bad: Johnny Banks.
 * The Bus Came Back: Hilary, Ashley, and Vivian Banks.
 * Character Development
 * Denser and Wackier: A bit more sillier and outlandish than the first two films, with the humor being cranked Up to Eleven and the colors becoming more cartoony.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Downplayed with Johnny. He's a con artist, but he's against the idea of actually robbing banks.
 * Laughably Evil: Johnny throws comedic quirks all the time. Being played by Damon Wayans helps.
 * Light is Not Good: Johnny Banks actually wears yellow.
 * Lighter and Softer: There is no adult humor at all (only being reduced to innuendo), the colors are more stylized, and the overall tone becoming more sillier. And it is the first The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air film adaptation to be rated PG! No wonder why it's called family friendly!
 * Mama Bear: Vivian Banks.
 * Spin-Off: To The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
 * Traitor Shot: Shortly after his introduction, Johnny grins evilly at the audience.
