* {{Bowdlerise}}: Unfortunately, the original American DVD release edited the Pecos Bill scene. They cut a scene of Bill rolling a smoke and lighting it with a lightning bolt and digitally removed all other shots of the offending cigarette hanging from his lips. The cigarette was edited out in each case resulting in the removal of almost the entire tornado sequence and some odd hand and mouth movements for Bill throughout. Fortunately, Creator/DisneyPlus kept all scenes of the cigarette intact, as did the Japanese Laserdisc and the DVD release in England.

* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Slue-Foot Sue. After donning a bustle and corset on her wedding day, she appears to have a ridiculously slender waist and an oversized butt.

* MsFanservice: ''Slue-Foot Sue''. Bright red hair and lips? Check. Big blue eyes? Double check. Gratuitous {{panty shot}}s aplenty? Oh yeah. [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure Ridiculously tiny waist]] paired with an absurdly big and round...[[https://giphy.com/gifs/disney-vintage-bustle-9oYWFBcpxNDiw bustle]]? You bet.

* SexyWalk: Slue-Foot Sue does a ridiculously exaggerated hip-sway whenever she walks. It doesn't hurt that her "bouncing bustle" really accentuates her behind.

* DownerEnding: Pecos Bill gets one after the loss of Sue. As this is the final section of the film, this trope could apply for the film as a whole.

* {{Disneyfication}}: The UsefulNotes/JohnnyAppleseed story adaptation. His life was originally much harder than it was presented in the film. It also plays up his positive qualities more and glosses over the fact that in real life, Johnny was a shrewd businessman and promoted his own religion.
