"Honeymoon Hotel" is a [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation 1934]] ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' short directed by Earl Duvall. Along with ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast1934'', it is one of the first Warner Bros. cartoons in color and one of only two Creator/WarnerBros cartoons from the 1930s made in Cinecolor (with every other color cartoon being made in Technicolor until 1947-1949).

The cartoon takes place in the ([[MouseWorld literally]]) small town of Bugtown. A young ladybug couple has just gotten married, and have a stay at the honeymoon hotel, although a fire breaks out midway through the night.

!!We are here to trope what we have to trope:
* AnimateInanimateObject: The ladybug couple's car comes to life after they arrive at the honeymoon hotel.
* CovertPervert:
** After the bellhops and maids drop everything off in the couple's room, they all look through the window at the top of the door. One of them, who can't reach, uses a parascope.
** The mustached bug who tries to look into guests' rooms.
* DastardlyWhiplash: In the middle of the cartoon, there is a mustached bug smoking a cigar who tries to look into guests' rooms. He bears the stereotypical villain look.
* DawnOfAnEra: In a meta example, it holds the distinction of being the very first Warner Bros. cartoon in color.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Midway through the short, there is a mustached bug with a cigar in his mouth who tries to peek into the rooms.
* HarmlessVillain: One gag in the cartoon has a bug trying to look into guests' rooms, only to be knocked out by a single slug in the face from a ''doorknob''.
* HouseFire: The short's main conflict is a fire that breaks out and destroys the titular hotel.
* InkblotCartoonStyle: The bugs are all drawn in this style.
* TheManInTheMoon: After the ladybugs finally think they've gotten their alone time, the moon looks through their window, says that he can see everything they do, and blushes when they turn out the light.
-->'''Moon:''' Is my face red!
* MouseWorld: Bugtown is populated entirely by insects, with buildings made out of objects like cans, lunch boxes, and tea kettles.
* NoAntagonist: The closest this short has to a villain is a mustached bug who tries to look into guests’ rooms, and he’s only there for a brief gag. The main conflict of the short is a fire that breaks out at the hotel.
* NoNameGiven: None of the characters are given names.
* SecretMessageWink: At the end, the ladybug couple, who are in a murphy bed, wink at the audience and go back into the wall. On the bottom of the bed is a calendar with a baby on it, who also winks.
* SettingIntroductionSong: The short begins with a song about Bugtown, sung by some bugs painting the lyrics onto a sign.
