History Film / TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen

* TheTeam:
** TheHero: Baron Münchausen, the GentlemanAdventurer leader.
** TheLancer: Berthold, the snarky [[SuperSpeed speedster]].
** TheBigGuy: Albrecht, the [[SuperStrength strongest man in the world]].
** FriendlySniper: Adolphus, whose enhanced sight allows him to be an [[ImprobableAimingSkills incredible shot]].
** PintSizedPowerhouse: Gustavus, a man of short stature who has [[SuperHearing enhanced hearing]] and [[SuperBreath powerful lungs]].
** TagalongKid: Sally, who looks up to the Baron and decides to help him in his quest.

* AvengersAssemble: A big chunk of the movie is dedicated to Sally going on a quest with the Baron to reunite his super-powered companions in order to fight off the invading Turks.

** When Sally excitedly describes to the adults how the Baron jumped onto a cannonball and flew miles up into the sky, she is enraged when he tells he didn't, assuming he's calling her a liar. After Sally storms off, the Baron explains that it wasn't "miles" but more a mile and a half, and that he didn't precisely "fly" but merely held on to a mortar shell.
* ExternalRetcon: Played with. The real Baron is enraged by the "inaccuracies" of the stage show depicting his tales that he hijacks it and gives a more precise account of the events, which also doubles as an elaborate ExpositionDump to explain the citizens the real reason behind the invasion of the Turks.

* ExactWords: For his part of the wager, the Sultan said that the Baron could take as much of the Sultan's treasure as the strongest man could carry. Unfortunately, the Sultan did not anticipate that the Baron's strongman Albrecht would be able to carry out all of it all at once. Except for one coin.

* ShoutOut: The Sultan's "organ" ''might'' just be a ShoutOut to Creator/TerryJones' mouse organ from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'', comprising a row of mice, strapped to a board, which ''supposedly'' squeaked musically when hit with hammers. (Both are based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katzenklavier Katzenklavier]], a conjectural (and thankfully never realized) instrument in which nails would be driven into the tails of a series of different-sized cats in order to play a tune. Or just create an almighty ruckus and be mean to animals along the way. The Sultan's instrument probably owes far more to the [[Literature/TheElricSaga Melnibonean]] music form, since both involve torturing slaves.)

* JabbaTableManners: The King of the Moon stuffs his mouth with a fruit rather messily.

* JustForPun: ''(While being held in a cage by the King of the Moon)'' This cage isn't real! It's just a party of the King's ''luna''cy.

* ClockworkCreature: Sybil, the King of the Moon's three-headed [[RocBirds giant bird]] creature. When her victims go in different directions, she splits up into three parts, revealing clockwork mechanism underneath.

* DawnOfAnEra: PlayedForLaughs when an enchanted Desmond comments on hot air balloon the Baron has [[MacGyvering MacGyvered]] out of women's underwear: "Look at all that underwear, isn't it beautiful? It's like a dream come true! It's the dawning of the age... of lovely, intimate things!"

* GoneHorriblyRight: The manner of leaving Vulcan's place. After telling the Baron that they must hurry back to town proves unsuccessful (with him being too distracted waltzing with Venus) Sally making Vulcan snap by informing him that the Baron kissed his wife does the trick... but she definitely didn't want to leave via being set across the Earth and get eaten by a SeaMonster.

* HatDamage: Albrecht interrupts the Baron's execution by blasting the executioner's axe, which sends its blade flying off and barely misses the Sultan, at the cost of his turban getting horizontally chopped.

* SneezeOfDoom: The King of the Moon's disembodied hand [[TemptingFate brags about being free from his evil body]], only to inadvertently have an inch to the nose and ending up sneezing so hard he hurls himself into deep space.

* ClockworkCreature: Sybil, the King of the Moon's three-headed [[GiantFlyer giant bird]] creature. When her victims go in different directions, she splits up into three parts, revealing clockwork mechanism underneath.
