Rob the Robot (2018 Disney revival)/Tropes

See Rob the Robot (2018 Disney revival).

Tropes

 * Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Non-animal example. Orbit, who has two bandages taped to the back of his head.


 * Adaptational Name Change: Downplayed with TK; her name changes from the rather simple "TK" to the more K-9-esque "T-K".
 * Affectionate Parody: "The Bot in the Cloth" (episode 7 in Season 1), which is a parody of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.
 * All-CGI Cartoon
 * Animation Bump: The animation for the revival was done at Jam Filled Toronto and looked more realistic in terms of shading, lighting and shadows.
 * Bada** Bookworm/Bada** Adorable: T-K, a cute little red toolkit robot who is intelligent and capable of fixing things.
 * Rob, Ema and Orbit have their moments of Bada** Adorable as well.
 * Batman Can Breathe in Space: The main characters. Justified since they aren't human.
 * Bigger on the Inside: The gang's rocket.
 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: Rob does this as much as he does in the original non-Disney version.
 * Butt Monkey: Orbit sometimes falls into this trope due to his clumsiness.
 * Call-Back: The revival often revisits planets seen in the original version.
 * Cute Machines: Rob, T-K, Orbit and Squeak.
 * Disney Owns This Trope: The revival is made right after Disney got ownership of Rob the Robot.
 * Expressive Ears: Ema's antennae, which were originally static in the original series. In the revival, they now droop when she's sad, worried or scared, stiffen and wobble when she's excited, etc.
 * Five-Man Band
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The revival actually gets away with the title of it's episode "A Pain in the Glass" (it's episode 5 in Season 1) and "One Shell of A Time" (see Pun-Based Title below for number).
 * Hammerspace: T-K's tummy trunk.
 * Innocent Aliens: Ema, of course.
 * International Coproduction: A co-production between the show's original studios One Animation (Singapore) and Amberwood Entertainment (Canada), Jam Filled Toronto (also from Canada), and Disney Television Animation.
 * Nice Mice: Squeak.
 * Parental Bonus: See Getting Crap Past the Radar and Pun-Based Title.
 * Protagonist Title
 * Pun-Based Title:
 * "A Pain in the Glass" and "One Shell of A Time" (episode 13 in Season 1), unfortunately...
 * "Rob the Builder" (episode 9 in Season 1). Guess what?
 * Revival
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: Squeak, again.
 * Role Reprisal: The cast from the original series returned as their characters in the Disney revival.
 * Superstition Episode: "Bad Luck Bot". Orbit becomes scared when he realizes it's Friday the 13th today, so his friends take him to the Bad Luck Planet in an attempt to make him overcome bad luck.
 * Team Pet: Again, Squeak, the wind-up mouse.
 * The Klutz: Orbit, sometimes.
 * The Leader: Rob.
 * Vague Age: The exact ages of the main characters have never been defined.
