The Powerpuff Squirrel/Tropes

This is the list of tropes for The Powerpuff Squirrel.

Tropes
Boxing Joe: “Wait a minute, I don't have a pouch!” Bullet: “You have got to be kiddding me.” Boxing Joe: "All my girlfriends have pouches! This is not fair!" Kyle: “Joe, only female kangaroos have pouches. Is there something else to do?” Boxing Joe: “Oh yeah, that's what I'm gonna do, mate! I'll box 'em!” Paige: “Atta boy, Joe!”
 * 2D Visuals, 3D Effects - They are everywhere.
 * For example, computer-animation has been rendered on some background animals, such as white-tailed deer, caribou, elk, American bison, pronghorn and muskox.
 * Birds were rendered with computer-animation as well, such as Canada geese, red-winged blackbirds and American flamingos.
 * Absentee Actor - Buddy and Reynard didn't appear in He Loved Me with Science, while Bullet only appeared at the beginning since she has a date with Finn, thus leaving Kyle and Paige to spy on Dexter and Blossom, Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane, and Dee Dee and Beau. In the rest of this episode, the two falcons save Dexter, Professor Utonium and Beau from the clutches of Princess Morbucks, with the help of Blossom, Ms. Keane and Dee Dee.
 * Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal - Mayor McTurkey has a black top hat and a monocle like the Mayor of Townsville has.
 * Freddie the red fox wears sunglasses.

 * Affably Evil - While Harry the red-tailed hawk poses a threat to Bullet, Buddy and Reynard, he is apparantley a nice and friendly guy toward other animals. He still has to prey on rodents and rabbits, though.
 * This applies to most other animal antagonists in constrast to the criminals and giant monsters. Despite being predators, they have to kill and eat their prey in order to survive. Examples include Nova, Big Al, Catherine, and of course the Big Bad, Mister Bobtail.
 * Animal Talk - Almost all the animals can talk to one to another, but not to humans. Expect for Bubbles.
 * In The Bear and the Beau, Barry and Beau come across a crowd of people that are about to see the erupting geysers. Then, Barry starts to sing to the people about his life being a bear. Then, the scene switches to the people's perspective, in which they got scared and only hear Barry roaring and growling. After he's done singing, Barry notices that everyone is gone, and Beau tells him that he scared the people away.
 * For Dexter and Blossom, this is quite weird when seeing animals of different species talking to each other, even though all they hear is actual animal noises.
 * Animation Bump - The animation in this series is a lot more smoother and fluid than the original series.
 * Animesque - For all the realistic animal characters (sans Bullet the squirrrel and Mojo Jojo).
 * Arch-Enemy - Harry the red-tailed hawk to Bullet.
 * Also, the grey wolves to the American bison.
 * Artistic License - Biology - Cain and his coyote pack protray the same way as wolves do. Coyotes do live in packs or family groups, but mostly territorial. They often travel alone and hunt alone or in loose pairs.
 * Ascended Extra - Bullet is the star of the show.
 * Beau was originally an one shot character of Dexter's Laboratory episode, Beau Tie, but his character was developed and became Dee Dee's love interest, as well as being Dexter's best friend.

 * Despite being a supporting character, Ms. Keane's role is greatly expanded than the original series, especially in one of the four storylines with Professor Utonium.
 * Aspect Ratio Switch - The pilot movie begins in a 4:3 ratio where the Powerpuff Girls doing their usual crime-fighting, and in this case, saving Professor Utonium from Mojo Jojo.

Then, after Bullet and her friends leaves for the ceremony at Mayor McTurkey's big rock, Shellbert starts to walk fast, but he's very late. This is why Shellbert's the most slow-moving turtle in the forest, as mentioned by Mayor McTurkey. Shellbert is never seen again until the ending, when Shellbert finally makes it to the ceremony, he finds out that this is a different ceremony as Bullet and her friends finally became true heroes.

 * Near the end of Revenge of Goodlady, Sedusa's hair is once again got wet and ruined, and this time she got sprayed on by the elephants.

 * For starters, Bullet is being friends with a fox, a kestrel and a peregrine, all of them are known predators to squirrels. Bullet's other friend is a rabbit, which is a herbivore and is also prey to a fox.

 * Dexter and Blossom; Both are smart and are little redheads. And they're always fighting crime and solve problems together.
 * Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane; One's a professor and other's a teacher. Both supportive to the girls. And they try to confess each other and eventually make up after the events of Keen on Keane. This is the most mature when compared to three other subplots.
 * Dee Dee and Beau; Dexter's blonde sister is in love with a science-loving brunette boy. And Bubbles and Buttrcup became very supportive to the two.
 * Even the villians have their own subplot, in which it involves Mister Bobtail the bobcat and Catherine the cougar.
 * All four subplots were merged together into one episode called, He Loved Me with Science.
 * Friendly Enemy - Harry the red-tailed hawk is being friendly and nice to Kyle and Paige, while the hawk himself being the rival to Bullet, Buddy and Reynard.

 * Genre Shift - Compared to the first series, in which is an action-comedy about little girls saving the world with superpowers, the promos and trailers imply that this series is a slice-of-life about a superpowered squirrel and other animal characters of Townsvile.

 * Marvelous Deer - A white-tailed buck named Duke.
 * Misplaced Wildlife - Townsville is located somewhere in North America, and with the forest, prairies, swamp, desert, mountains and even the tundra sourround the Powerpuff Girls' homeland, you can expect all the animals that live in North America that interact with each other, yet don't actually meet each other in real life. For instance, American alligators (Old Al's species) live only in the Southern US, while the polar bear (Nanuq's species) lives in the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic. Downplayed with the American bison (Mighty Bill's species), grey wolves (Armaruq's species) and cougars (Catherine's species), though, as all three species were once widespread throughout North America.

 * Moose are Idiots - Mason the bull moose.
 * Multi-Part Episode - The two part Grand Finale has Bullet's team joining other animals with superpowers from all over the world. And meanwhile, Blossom, Buttercup, Professor Utonium, Ms. Keane, Dexter, Dee Dee and Beau all start to speak every animal language like Bubbles. But most of all, the main focus is Kyle and Paige's marriage.
 * Musical Episode - We're in for A Wild Night.
 * Myth Arc - As mentioned above, this series is less of a slice-of-life the way it was advertised and more of a dramedy romance story-arc with four different couples; Kyle and Paige, Dexter and Blossom, Professor Utonium and Ms. Keane, and Dee Dee and Beau. Three out of four couples' stories are all told from the perspective of the animals, especially Kyle and Paige.
 * Mythology Gag - Remember in Knock It Off where Professor Dick Hardly creates the Powerpuff Girlz Xtreme in the factory? Well, in The Woods is Not Enough, the now abandoned factory is used by the animals as a shelter after a forest fire occurred.

 * There's even a scene in The Great Acorn Rush where Bullet encounters a pair of realistically-drawn eastern grey squirrels fighting over an acorn.
 * This is especially Mind Screw when you mix cartoony human characters with realistic animal characters.
 * Ominous Owl - Nova the great horned owl.
 * Out of Focus - While Blossom still has a major role, Bubbles and Buttercup became Demoted to Extra as well as being Dee Dee and Beau's matchmakers whereas Dexter took over Bubbles and Buttercup's place.
 * Pilot Movie - The hour long first episode, The Fur Begins to Fly.
 * Playful Otter - Oretta the river otter.

This is because pythons like Diablo actually survive very long periods without eating anything again after swallowing their prey whole.

 * Edgar the bald eagle correctly chirps, rather than screech like Harry the red-tailed hawk.
 * Hare Hopdini, a snowshoe hare, is brown with white feet, which is a summer coat (hence his species' name, snowshoe hare), rather than fully white, which is a winter coat.
 * Bella the little brown bat is correctly decipted as a quadrupedal instead of being bipedal.
 * Pablo the Atlantic puffin afraids that he's going have a duller beak in the winter. In fact, this is true for Atlantic puffins in real life.
