History Literature / LlamaLlama

* AdaptationExpansion: The original "Llama Llama, Red Pajama" book was just Llama Llama (then known as Baby Llama) in bed wanting his Mama. The episode based on the book adds a first half with him and Mama Llama riding around town on their bikes and hanging out, then Grandma and Grandpa Llama coming over right before Llama goes to bed.

* AgeLift: A minor example with the titular protagonist Llama Llama. Between "Llama Llama Red Pajama" until "Llama Llama Misses Mama" he was clearly a toddler and openly cried after Mama Llama leaves on his first day of preschool. In the Netflix series, he's capable of speaking full sentences and already started Kindergarten making him possibly around the age of 5 or 6.
* AgelessBirthdayEpisode: "Happy Birthday Llama Llama".

* AreWeThereYet: In "Noisy Neighbor," Llama Llama asks this of Mama Llama during the walk to the house whose yard he and his friends are cleaning, despite it being just across the street. Although this is not obvious at first, a scene a bit later actually shows them to waving to each on opposite sides of the street.

** The same can be said for Euclid the sheep who's also a main character in the Netflix series. Prior to the Netflix series, he only appeared in the book "Llama Llama Easter Egg" which was one of Dewdney's last completed Llama Llama books before her passing in late 2016.

* CharacterTitle[=/=]CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: The animated series is titled simply ''Llama Llama''.

* EveryoneLaughsEnding: Mama Llama and Llama Llama have a laugh at the end of "Time to Share" when she "shares" the last piece of cake with him by smearing the icing on his, her and possibly Fuzzy Llama's noses.[[note]]There's no visible indication she's the one who smeared it on Fuzzy, which may have something to do with the "semi-sentience" of Fuzzy described in the show's pitch bible.[[/note]]

* FurryReminder: In the episode "Llama Llama And The Bully Goat", when Llama Llama and his friends are practicing their singing skills in Kindergarten. Gilroy is seen mocking the other students singing skills (mainly at Llama Llama). At one point, he's heard mockingly bleating at Llama to further embarrass him.

* PaperThinDisguise: In "Llama Llama Lemonade," Mama Llama, trying to cheer up Llama about his not getting any customers for his lemonade stand, shows up to his stand wearing a brown fedora, coat and pants and bad fake mustache, speaking in an awful Australian accent and calling him "mate."

** In "Job Day," right before the kids are told which adults they're going to be paired with for Job Day, Luna expresses to the other kids that there's no way she'd want to be paired with Officer Flamingo, whose job isn't creative.

His mother is Mama Llama, and other characters include Nelly Gnu and Gilroy Goat.

* TalkAboutTheWeather: In "Snow Show," none of the kids are allowed to talk with Llama Llama about their snow sculptures because he's the judge. So when Luna Giraffe encounters him, she comments on how they're having "nice weather" which results in a bemused "I guess" from him because it's a gray, cloudy winter day. She says it looks like it might snow, but they won't talk about snow because then they might talk about snow sculptures, which just isn't allowed.

* TwoTimerDate: In "Spring Fever," Llama Llama is scheduled for both Nelly Gnu and Luna Giraffe's beginning-of-spring events and tries to help them both.
