History Film / TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure

* {{Hipster}}: Goobie has the appearance of one (beanie and glasses), though his personality is more of a HollywoodNerd.

* ParentalBonus: Multiple attempts, but they're all really transparent. Who in the target audience would understand the reference to the vacuum being named [[StealthPun J. Edgar?]]

* PolishTheTurd: {{Downplayed|trope}} in the trailer; when Toofie brings up Matthew Diamond as an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-''[[ExactWords nominated]]'' director, he uses a celebratory tone of voice that makes it sound like he actually ''won'' the award. While being nominated for is an achievement in itself, it doesn't bear the same amount of weight as winning the award. This lends itself to the implication that the award-winning directors of the time would have had too many superior alternatives to lend their name to this project.

* AlliterativeName: Several characters or groups of characters.

* AstroTurf: The movie's rating on Website/IMDb used to be quite high (peaking at '''8.1''', and reaching 6.0) due to lots of {{sock puppet}}s of the producers, as 82.1% of the overall voters gave it 10/10, yet the ratings by demographics (read: by users who bothered to fill out their profile info, which most astroturfers don't) mostly hover around the more realistic 2 to 4 points range. Furthermore, almost all of the positive reviews are the only reviews of their authors and many have dubious formatting (paragraph breaks in mid-sentence) and/or fall victim to a TranslationTrainWreck, all clear signs of astroturfing.[[note]]The website caught on to discard those from the formula and the current grade is 2.1, which would rank ''Oogieloves'' among the 5 lowest in the [[https://www.imdb.com/chart/bottom?ref_=tt_awd Bottom 100]][[/note]]

%% * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: All over the film, especially in the climax.

* {{Crunchtastic}}: The characters all have a CatchPhrase with this type of word.

%% * {{Hipster}}: Goobie is certainly dressed like one.
%% * IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Goobie's catchphrase.
%% * LikeIsLikeAComma: How Jubilee Rounder talks.

%% * PeopleInRubberSuits: Well, maybe not rubber, but it's still very conspicuous.

%% * {{Spexico}}: Lero and Lola Sombrero embody this trope, despite neither being played by a Spanish or Hispanic actor.

[[InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt From Kenn Viselman]], the marketing genius (''not'' creator) behind such franchises as ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'', comes the [[{{Crunchtastic}} adventuriffic]] 2012 kids' film ''The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure'', based on costumed characters in a 2009 series of {{P|ublicServiceAnnouncement}}SAs, who in turn were based on characters from a little-known 2004 kids' show called ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bedbugs My Bedbugs]]'', whose rights were sold off to Viselman by its owners as their production company was about to be shut down during the 2008 economic meltdown.

* FlatCharacter: Every single character. The closest to having a personality is Ruffy, and even then his basic character is being {{grumpy|bear}}.

And yes, this is a ''theatrically-released film'', not a DirectToVideo movie.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Apparently if a balloon is somehow attached to the horizontal stabilizer on the tail of a full size plane, it cannot take off. At all. As [[WebVideo/ReactionAndReview one reviewer]] put it:
-->''"No, no, no! That's fucking stupid and you don't put something that absolutely idiotic in a fuckin' children's film, that's going to teach kids incredibly stupid things! God, fuck this movie! Jesus...CHRIST!!"''

* AudienceParticipation: Strongly encouraged here.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: All over the film, especially in the climax.

* ExcusePlot: The plot is not so much threadbare as it is a single fraying string. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKLwprcW8Ew As pointed out by]] WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob…

** As pointed out by Bobsheaux, there are many other ways the Oogieloves could've gotten the balloons. They could've just simply asked the people for their balloons back or get a ladder to climb up to get the higher placed ones, rather than having to do half of the things they do in order to find get the balloons back.

* {{Hipster}}: Goobie is certainly dressed like one.
* IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Goobie's catchphrase.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: How Jubilee Rounder talks.

* MsFanservice: Rosalie Rosebud, played by R&B singer Toni Braxton.

* NoIndoorVoice: The Oogieloves themselves.
* {{Omniglot}}: Zoozie can speak [[UpToEleven every]] language, [[SpeaksFluentAnimal including animal talk]].
* OwlsAskWho: Despite allegedly speaking fluent animal, Zoozie encounters this problem when asking an owl where Milky Marvin is.

* PeopleInRubberSuits: Well, maybe not rubber, but it's still very conspicuous.

* RunningGag: Goofy Toofie! Pick up your pants!

* {{Spexico}}: Lero and Lola Sombrero embody this trope, despite neither being played by a Spanish or Hispanic actor.
* SugarBowl: The [[RetroUniverse 1950s-inspired]] Lovelyloveville.

* PolishTheTurd: {{Downplayed|trope}} in the trailer, when Toofie brings up Matthew Diamond as an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-''[[ExactWords nominated]]'' director. While being nominated for is an achievement in itself, it doesn't bear the same amount of weight as ''winning'' the award. This lends itself to the implication that the award-winning directors of the time would have had too many superior alternatives to lend their name to this project.

This lends itself to the implication that the award-winning directors of the time would have had too many superior alternatives to lend their name to this project.

* MenAreGenericWomenAreSpecial: Each of the main characters has one trait apiece: Goobie is a scientist (and male), Toofie is adventurous (and also male) and Zoozie is female. [[UnfortunateImplications Which is apparently a character trait while being male isn't.]]

* AstroTurf: The movie's rating on Website/IMDb is 6.0 as of May 2019 (down from a high of '''8.1!'''), but this is very obviously due to what looks like {{sock puppet}}s of the producers, as 82.1% of the overall voters gave it 10/10, yet the ratings by demographics (read: by users who bothered to fill out their profile info, which most astroturfers don't) mostly hover around the more realistic 2 to 4 points range. Furthermore, almost all of the positive reviews are the only reviews of their authors and many have dubious formatting (paragraph breaks in mid-sentence) and/or fall victim to a TranslationTrainWreck, all clear signs of astroturfing.

* ValleyGirl: Dottie's granddaughter Jubilee has the speech patterns of one, using [[LikeIsLikeAComma "like"]] and "totally" repeatedly in her conversations with the Oogieloves. She also refers to things she thinks is cool as "totally square", relating back to her square obsession.
