* ChildrenAreInnocent: Fluffy the kitten, who generally acts on instinct and therefore genuinely doesn't realize that his actions tend to cause inconvenience for the other characters. He's also sometimes targeted by the raccoons so that they can achieve their own ends without punishment.



* FatIdiot: Mercury. Not only is he none too bright (hence getting roped into Freddie's schemes, for one), he also tends to be distracted by the things that he wants to do until Freddie points him in the right direction.

New work page for this 2019 CGI cartoon

Added DiffLines:

''Mighty Mike'' is a French CGI-animated series which is co-produced by TeamTO and Digital Dimension, and first launched in 2019.

It follows the adventures of Mike, a pug as he tries to woo a dog called Iris and he has help from three turtles as they try to stop two raccoon brothers.

[[https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/french-studio-teamto-built-new-animation-software-for-its-hyper-real-slapstick-series-mighty-mike-the-wild-bunch-160058.html The series is notable for using hyper-realistic design]].

!!Tropes found in Mighty Mike:
* ActualPacifist: Mike is a high-minded character who won't do anything to ''hurt'' anyone physically, although he is not above humiliating the raccoons.
* AllCGICartoon: This has been animated entirely in CGI.
* AntiVillain: Mercury the raccoon wouldn't be as villainous were it not for the schemes of his brother Freddie; if anything, he's largely too easily influenced by him.
* BottleEpisode: A curious variation as every episode only takes place in the house, around the pool or the raccoons' cave, and it doesn't go outside of it.
* ButtMonkey: Freddie and Mercury the raccoons, who [[CosmicPlaything the universe has it in for in negative ways]] as consequences.
* CodeOfHonour: Mike has been described in some online listings of this series as a high-minded pug, which would suit his moral code.
* ComicBookTime: The flow of time in the show isn't explained, and none of the central characters have aged a bit since the first episode.
* CuriousQualmsOfConscience: Sometimes Mike's expressions on the show when he's foiled the raccoons' schemes are as if to say "Was this ''really'' the right course of action"?
* {{Determinator}}: Mike, as no matter what he experiences, he will always find ''some'' way to overcome the situation.
* GenreThrowback: Despite the CGI, it's a throwback to the old 1960s ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther'' due to its lack of dialogue and slapstick the protagonist experiences.
* HarmlessVillain: Freddie and Mercury are the central villains, but easily defeated due to Mike's ingenuity whatever they scheme to get every episode.
* LightIsGood: Mike the pug is beige and the good guy, Freddie and Mercury the raccoons are gray and the bad guys.
* MimeAndMusicOnlyCartoon: There's no real dialogue apart from unintelligible dialogue now and then in the series.
* MinimalistCast: There's no guest stars, only Mike the pug, Iris the dog, Porthos, Athos and Aramis the turtles and Freddie and Mercury the raccoons.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Freddie and Mercury were named after Freddie Mercury from English rock band ''Music/{{Queen}}''.
* NegativeContinuity: Given the slapstick humor of the show, even if things are damaged, they will return to normal next episode with no explanation.
* SadistShow: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], given the target demographic, but bad things happen to all the characters, although because Mike's a {{Determinator}} and the villains are harmless, the level of sadistic behavior is rather low for a show like this and more a comic variant of sadism.
* StaticCharacter: The entire cast does not go through any character development, but this is
* StatusQuoIsGod: The series will always return to Mike dealing with the raccoons' schemes and trying to win over Iris, no matter how often it's shown Mike and Iris being a couple, or one of the raccoons learning their lesson.
* TheGadfly: Freddie and Mercury are a ''duo'' whose only main role is to annoy Mike and his friends until they give in.
* WhiteAndGreyMorality: The protagonists are portrayed as pure good, but Freddie and Mercury the raccoons aren't the most evil of characters, at best the annoyance.
