''Fubee'' (2007) The first truly feature-length film from TracyMooreProductions, ''Fubee'' follows the story of an average klutz named Fubee Snopatropalopolis and her cheese-obsessed mother Carla, as they try to figure out who robbed seventeen million dollars from the bank that Carla used to work at. They follow a trail of clues through gossip DVD's, the newspaper, the weird answering machines and more to track down the robbers. The movies tag line is "A Different Kind of Strange," and it's probably fair to say, "And how!"

In 2006, a seventh grade student named Tracy Moore made a film for a class. With his friends and their parents and teachers as actors, he went on to create no fewer than five feature films over the course of the next five years. This is the page about those films. In order, they are:

''The Heir in the Window'' (2006) The original Tracy Moore film, about a baby named Kimberly Lauren abandoned by her evil mother Regina Roberts as part of Regina's convoluted plot to kill Queen Elizabeth II and seize the throne of England. When Regina and her son Frederick drop in on the Queen for a visit at the Queen's summer home in New York twelve years later, Frederick discovers a baby picture hidden in his Mother's luggage, spurring him to go on a quest to find his long-lost sister so they can return and defeat Regina's evil plot. Also features Tracy Moore himself in a crossdressing role as the CloudCuckoolander maid Helen.

''Fubee'' (2007) The first truly feature-length film from TracyMooreProductions, ''Fubee'' follows the story of an average klutz named Fubee Snopatropalopolis and her cheese-obsessed mother Carla, as they try to figure out who robbed seventeen million dollars from the bank that Carla used to work at. They follow a trail of clues through gossip DVD's, the newspaper, the weird answering machines and more to track down the robbers. The movies tag line is "A Different Kind of Strange," and it's probably fair to say, "And how!"

''Special Delivery'' (2008) centers around Dr. [[PunnyName Cheryl Feelings]] and her niece Mindy in a TwoLinesNoWaiting style. One day, Cheryl finds a mysterious box on her doorstep, which it turns out is actually the "house" of a crazy homeless lady named Mrs. Hinkle. She also receives several generous offers to buy her house from a very persistent realtor named Kathy Calzone. As it turns out, one of the therapy patients, Robert, is an [[CorruptCorporateExecutive evil insurance salesman]] who all but bankrupted Mrs. Hinkles and is now getting therapy in an effort to get at and destroy the evidence from his corrupt dealings. He and his henchwoman Kathy intend to do this by [[StuffBlowingUp blowing up]] Cheryl's house. It's up to Cheryl, Mrs. Hinkles, reporter Clow Harris and schizophrenic patient Alfred to stop them. Meanwhile, Mindy and her Writing Club get together to try to publish the journals of Mrs. Hinkles's late husband Frank into a book.

''Slick'' (2009) follows the eponymous pickpocket as he attempts to defeat a villainous ex-FBI agent named Edith who is obsessed with flip-flops. She has unconstitutionally in-depth files on lots of people, Slick included, and Slick wants his file destroyed. She also has an evil plan to brainwash people using caramels and turn them into 3-D glasses-wearing slave labor for her flip-flop empire. Having traced her down to Salisbury, West Virginia, he decides to hole up with his Uncle Herb, a theater hermit with a shameful past. He blackmails three people into helping him using things he pickpocketed from them: a zucchini gardener, a muffin chef, and a guy obsessed with light bulbs. Together, they defeat the villain, and with his new friends' help, Slick begins to rethink his identity.

''Vector'' (2010) is a DarkerAndEdgier turn in the TracyMooreProductions catalog. A SuperOCD mailman becomes suspicious when he finds a [[MadScientistLaboratory bio lab]] on his route. When the people on his route become sick, he must balance his family and his investigation as he uncovers horrific evidence connected to a bioterrorist.

** Slick
** Jeremy
** Slick
** Uncle Herb?
** Creator/HarrisonFord
* EnforcedMethodActing: For ''Fubee'', Moore only gave his actors scripts for the scenes they were in. It led to some confusion in the behind-the-scenes interviews.

* FieryCoverup: Robert and Kathy are trying to use their UBM (Underground Black Market) explosives on Cheryl's house in order to perpetrate one of these in ''Special Delivery''.
* FridgeLogic: ''Heir in the Window'' is full of it. Why is the Queen vacationing in New York, in a small house, with only two security guards and an eccentric maid for company?
* GoodCopBadCop: Parodied and Subverted. Slick and Jeremy try to pull one on Judge Janelle in ''Slick'', but they both want to be the bad cop, so they end up just both shouting at her. And it doesn't matter, because the Brainwashing has worn off and she's perfectly willing to cooperate.
--> '''Jeremy:''' Who are you working for?
--> '''Slick:''' ''(muttering)'' Get outta here, Jeremy. ''(full volume)'' You're gonna talk either way.
--> '''Jeremy:''' I thought I was gonna be the bad cop.
--> '''Slick:''' You're not gonna be the bad cop; I'm gonna be the bad cop.

--> '''Priscilla:''' No! Not the darkness! NOT THE DARKNESS!
* LethalChef: Shondre in ''Heir in the Window'' is implied to be one.

* MadScientistLaboratory: Victor has one in his garage.
* TheMagicPokerEquation: From ''Fubee'': "A Royal Flush?! And all I have is a three and a seven."

** Also, Regina Roberts, who wants to be Queen (Regina is Latin for Queen).
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [[spoiler:Piinkee Mulddoomm. Despite the copious quantity of double letters in her name, she is not the solution to the "Trust Double" clue.]]
* TheMissionary: The late Frank Hinkles.
* MrExposition: In ''Heir in the Window'', when Frederick first meets Kim, he does a very good job summing up the plot so far for her and those of you having trouble following along at home (which at that point would probably be most of you.)
* [[spoiler:NinjaMaid: At the end of ''Heir in the Window'', Helen reveals her BadAss side by helping take out Regina.]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]]: Fubee, in a world that's a different kind of strange.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: See the second PaperThinDisguise entry below.
* PaperThinDisguise: In order to sneak up on the Flip-Flop Zombies, Slick wears his normal outfit plus a pair of 3D glasses. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because the only thing that distinguishes the Flip-Flop Zombies from normal people is their 3-D glasses and jerky movements (which Slick also imitates).
** Earlier on, he tries to fool Marsha by claiming to be a lumberjack, merely pulling his baseball cap over his eyes and adopting a really bad [[CanadaEh Canadian]] [[OohMeAccentsSlipping accent]]. She sees right through it...because she recognized his smell.
* PlaceboEffect: [[spoiler:Subverted. Edith claims that her plan has nothing to do with the caramels, and they're only a placebo. She then samples one. Big mistake.]]
--> '''[[spoiler:Slick:]]''' [[spoiler:No, Edith, it's all about the caramels.]]
* {{Poker}}: At the beginning of the movie, Fubee learns how to play from the eccentric Boris (Tracy Moore). She later turns this into a ChekhovsSkill to get information out of Rudy.
* PunchClockVillain: Garth. He's only evil because Edith offered him a job.
* PunnyName: Cheryl Feelings, psychiatrist.
* RealLifeRelative: Mother-daughter team Carla and Fubee Snopatropalopolis are played by RealLife mother-daughter team Carol and Claire Doolittle.
** Also, [[EvilMatriarch Regina Roberts]] and her [[LongLostRelative Long Lost Daughter]] Kimberly Lauren Smith are played by the mother-daughter duo of Jo and Aimee Woodard.
* TheRival: Jeremy is this to Slick. They work together to fight Edith, however.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: The Pickpocket Duel has even more of this than BuffySpeak, particularly with Slick. This may be ActorAllusion, as Slick is played by high school English teacher Ricky Ganci.
* ShaggyDogStory: Boris tells one about an actual dog in ''Fubee.''
* ShoutOut: Carla is commending Fubee's sleuthing.
--> '''Fubee:''' I learned from the best.

* ThoseTwoGuys: Elaine and Martha, the Queen's loyal security experts.
* TiedTogetherShoelaceTrip: Jeremy perpetrates these with SuperSpeed, first to Slick and later to [[spoiler:Judge Janelle.]]
* [[BlackMarket Underground Black Market]]: In addition to his psychiatry practice, Dr. Felix Davenport runs one of these in ''Special Delivery.''
* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: At the end of ''Slick''.
* WorldGoneMad: Less pronounced in some works, as Moore lacked the budget to do things with special effects, but the characters more than make up for it. Meaning that it really is [[TagLine a different kind of strange.]]
