1	''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2157596/1/Calvin_and_Hobbes_The_Movie Calvin and Hobbes: The Movie]]'' is a fanfic written by Creator/{{Swing123}}, and is the first installment in what would become [[Fanfic/Swing123AndGarfieldodiesCalvinverse the Calvinverse.]]
2
3	ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes are forced to go to Camp Pine. Obviously, neither of them are thrilled by the arrangement, but things soon turn worse when aliens start coming...
4
5	The original is something of an OldShame for the author, so he's [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3608438/1/Calvin-and-Hobbes-The-Movie-REWRITTEN rewritten it.]] Tropes in that version are also included here.

11	* AdvancedTech2000: The "Take Over the World 3000". There are several of them, and they're all disabled.
12	* AllLowercaseLetters: Downplayed - Chapter 7 and beyond has a pretty bad problem with capitalization.
13	* AntiClimax: Lampshaded:
14	--> '''Calvin:''' You mean to tell me that [[MediumAwareness I wasted a perfectly good drama scene]] while Camp Pine wasn't even a mile from here!
15	* BatterUp: Hobbes is armed with one of these.
16	* BigNo: Calvin when Hobbes is "killed".

20	* BurningWithAnger: Calvin turns red when he learns of Camp Pine.
21	* CerebusRetcon: Calvin's declaring himself the Supreme Earth Potentate now has a bunch of aliens on his tail.
22	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Rupert and Earl's crew is actually ''intelligent''. They become their idiotic selves in the remake.
23	* CloseCallHaircut: Calvin gets one in Chapter 6, thanks to a laser gun.
24	* CreditsGag: The bonus chapter, which shows all the characters watching the movie, arguing about it.
25	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
26	--> "Hobbes stared in horror as an energy force field began to cover Hobbes up."
27	* DisneyDeath: Hobbes, who gets turned into his stuffed animal form - even to Calvin.
28	--> ''[[WordOfGod Swing:]] [[LampshadeHanging yes, don't worry. Hobbes will come back. It wouldn't be Calvin and Hobbes if he didn't.]]
29	* {{Fainting}}: Calvin does this at the end of Chapter 5, after learning the aliens' plan.
30	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The end of Chapter 2:
31	--> But none of them knew that by the end of the week, laughing would be a thing of the past.
32	** Then there's John Chill's sharp teeth, which the aliens also sport.

34	* {{Gasp}}: Calvin does it a few times.
35	* GhostStory: Calvin and Hobbes share a few at the beginning of Chapter 5.
36	* HeroicSelfDeprecation:
37	--> '''Calvin:''' Why would anyone want to save ME? All I do is prank my parents, prank other people's parents, and throw water balloons at anyone I see. I wouldn't be shocked if everyone was celebrating back at my house!
38	* {{Homage}}: The very end is a recreation of the climax of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie''.
39	* HostageForMacGuffin: The end of Chapter 9 -- either Calvin gives over the Earth, or his friends and alter egos die.
40	* IAmSong: Calvin sings one when harnessing ThePowerOfRock.
41	* InsistentTerminology: "His/her eyes bulged." Expect to see that a lot.
42	* LameRhymeDodge:
43	--> '''[[RougeAnglesOfSatin Nublar]]:''' hi bob. we were just on our way to the weaponry mph, murp snirk skittle.\
44	'''Galaxoid:''' he means the cafeteria. he feels that getting enough to eat is like arming yourself with weapons! Isn't that hilarious?
45	* LastNameBasis: John Chill.
46	* LemonyNarrator:
47	--> The king peeked over Spiff's shoulder and SAW... whew.\
48	Ok, relax.\
49	You think he saw Spiff's laser, and all of their plans were ruined, right?\
50	Ha, ha.\
51	[[SubvertedTrope Nope.]]\
52	Do you know what the king saw?\
53	IT WAS CALVIN'S DUFFLE BAG!
54	* LoopholeAbuse: As the narrative puts it:
55	--> "And," Chill went on. "You compete in races, and contests. There will be NO violence here at Camp Pine whoever is caught bullying another, will face the punishment!"\
56	[[JawDrop Moe's mouth dropped open,]] and Calvin felt somewhat better. But then again, Moe always found a loophole.
57	* MediumAwareness:
58	--> '''Hobbes:''' Why wait till tonight?\
59	'''Calvin:''' Hobbes the good part of the movie happens then. Do you want to RUSH through the movie?\
60	'''Hobbes:''' No.\
61	'''Calvin:''' Good. Then we'll wait for tonight.
62	** Then there's an absolutely fourth-wall ''shattering'' exchange in Chapter 8, where Calvin and Tracer's brawl interrupts the movie. It takes quite a while, and the news guy ends up undergoing some SanitySlippage.
63	** And there's this:
64	--> '''Calvin:''' [[AntiClimax You mean to tell me that I wasted a perfectly good drama scene while Camp Pine wasn't even a mile from here!]]
65	** Then there's the CreditsGag, which has Calvin insulting the audience.
66	* MythologyGag: "I'll bet we're missing some great shows on TV right now." To [[https://genorocco.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/calvin-and-hobbes-missing-great-tv-shows.gif?w=900&h=286&crop=1 this comic]].
67	** The small Calvins that apparently operate Calvin's brain make a return twice.
68	** One of these ends up saving Calvin - "I'M HOME!"
69	* NoNameGiven: Lampshaded:
70	--> '''Search & Rescue team member:''' We have been searching the area, Mr. And Mrs... um... I forgot your names.
71	* NoSympathy: When everyone else thinks Calvin's dead, Chill is the only one who isn't surprised. "Too bad."
72	* OnceMoreWithClarity: Chapter 10 revisits a few earlier moments, revealing the aliens' influence.
73	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
74	--> Hobbes stared at Calvin. Never in his entire life had he saw Calvin break down sobbing.
75	* OperationBlank: Operation Kill Earth.
76	* OverlyLongGag: InUniverse, Calvin and Tracer's brawl takes '''''97 hours''''' to stop.
77	** Then there's this, which overlaps with BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy and ShoutOut:
78	--> "But then who's the imposter?" asked Spiff.\
79	"I'll give you ten guesses." said the fake Chill.\
80	"WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}?" asked Calvin.\
81	"No." said the fake Chill.\
82	"Martha Stuart?" asked Hobbes.\
83	"No." said the fake Chill.\
84	"Creator/DavidLetterman?" asked Galixoid.\
85	"I'll give you a hint." said the fake Chill. "alien"\
86	"ComicStrip/{{GARFIELD}}!" shouted Calvin.\
87	"[[Creator/JimCarrey JIM CARREY]]!" screamed Hobbes.\
88	"[[Creator/MarkTwain MARK TWAIN!]]" insisted Spiff.\
89	"[[Creator/LemonySnicket LEMONY SNICKET!]]" screamed Stupendous man.\
90	"[[Literature/SherlockHolmes SHERLOCK HOLMES!]]" cried Tracer.\
91	"THE PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA!" yelled Galixoid.\
92	"THE GUY WHO INVENTED MARBLES!" Nebular yelled.\
93	"[[Literature/HankTheCowdog HANK THE COWDOG!]]" Calvin yelled.\
94	"THAT'S ENOUGH!" The fake Chill screeched.
95	* PassThePopcorn: Hobbes outright quotes the trope when watching Calvin and Tracer fight.
96	** Calvin quotes it while watching the news guy go insane.
97	* ThePowerOfRock: In a {{homage}} to ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongebobSquarepantsMovie''.
98	* RapidFireNo: Calvin does these along with a BigNo after finding himself lost.
99	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: John Chill is pretty patient with Calvin's antics.
100	* TheReveal: The end of Chapter 8. [[spoiler:John Howard Chill is an alien impostor.]]
101	* RougeAnglesOfSatin: [[ExaggeratedTrope All over the place.]]
102	* SanitySlippage: The news guy.
103	* SequelHook: Calvin mentions the sequel during the CreditsGag.
104	* SceneryPorn: InUniverse:
105	--> Calvin looked out over the beautiful snow capped mountains, and huge forests that surrounded it. The lake seemed like a sparkling wonderland and just increased the beauty of the wonderful scenery that Calvin and Hobbes now feasted their eyes.
106	* ShoutOut: Aside from the above, the final chapter is titled "Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jog" - a slightly off version of a rhyme most well-known for its use in ''Film/BladeRunner''.
107	* SpoilerTitle: Chapter 9 is titled "HE'S AN ALIEN!", giving away [[spoiler:John Chill's true identity]] (though it was revealed in the chapter before it).
108	* TheStinger: The CreditsGag climaxes with this: a static screen saying [[TakeThatAudience "DROP DEAD!"]] The characters immediately start trying to destroy the screen at this moment.
109	* TakeAThirdOption: Defied by Calvin.
110	* TakeThatAudience: One of the stranger examples - TheStinger is a static screen saying "DROP DEAD!" The characters, who were watching this as a CreditsGag, are offended.
111	* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: A non-sexual example - Calvin and Hobbes sleep in the same sleeping bag.
112	* TransformationRay: The aliens have one, and they use it to efficiently kill Hobbes. (More specifically, they turn him into his stuffed animal form.)
113	* TrapDoor: Calvin and Hobbes fall victim to one in Chapter 5.
114	* UnstoppableRage: Calvin slips into this at the end of Chapter 6.
115	** The beginning of Chapter 7 then subverts it:
116	--> You think Calvin went screaming right into the middle of the aliens hitting as many as he could, right?\
117	[[LemonyNarrator Go ahead and admit it.]]\
118	well, you're wrong.
119	* VillainOverride: Chapter 10 reveals that one of the aliens had possessed one of Moe's friends to coerce him to get Calvin to Camp Pine.
120	* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: Also pretty common.
121	* WhamEpisode: Chapter 3 - a giant tentacle comes out of nowhere and snatches Calvin's water balloons.
122	** Then there's Chapter 5, which reveals the alien's plot - turning Earth into an army ground on which to kill other aliens, along with killing the Supreme Earth Potentate.
123	** Chapter 6 reveals the aliens themselves, along with "killing" Hobbes.
124	** Chapter 8: Calvin's alter egos come to life.
125	* WhamLine: The end of Chapter 7, to a lesser degree:
126	--> Hobbes stared at Calvin as if wondering if he should answer or not.\
127	He didn't get the chance to, because at that very moment... something very bad happened.
128	* WhenTreesAttack: Parodied somewhat:
129	--> Trying to avoid the various monsters of the forest. Like tree monsters, or bush monsters, or leaf monsters! Stuff like that.
130	* YouFool: One alien says this to a lesser alien.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Tropes exclusive to the rewritten version]]
134	* AskAStupidQuestion:
135	--> '''Hobbes:''' Never mind. Are we going somewhere?\
136	'''Calvin:''' No, I just enjoy tearing my bed up.
137	* CallForward: Calvin mentions that he'll later cram the portal to the empty dimension[[note]]Long story short, it justifies BagOfHolding[[/note]] into a cube. He later does just that in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.
138	* ContinuityNod: Calvin makes note of a long-distance walkie talkie he had in his backpack "a couple of weeks ago" - echoing one of the original strips. (Though said strip took place in winter, and the fic is set in the following summer...)
139	* HuddlePower: Moe and his GangOfBullies do this.
140	* MiseryBuildsCharacter: Mentioned.
141	* RightBehindMe: Hobbes outright quotes the trope (more or less) when informing Calvin of Moe's presence.
142	* ShoutOut: A rather morbid one:
143	--> '''Calvin:''' (after Susie boards the bus) So I'm assuming [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] is getting on, next, right?
144	** John Howard Chill, according to Calvin, is as creepy as [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo]] in swim trunks.
145	* StunnedSilence: "No, I think this is more of a silence moment."
146	* TemptingFate: Right after Hobbes remarks "Well, on the one hand, at least it's just ''one'' kid from your school...", Susie boards the bus.
147	* YourMom: According to Calvin, Moe's mother is a compost pile.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Tropes both fics have]]
151	* BagOfHolding: Calvin's duffel bag has a ''lot'' of junk in it.
152	** This is justified in the remake - the duffel bag uses a portal to a nearly-empty dimension that he can store stuff in.
153	* BeardOfEvil: Rupert has one.
154	* BigBad: Rupert.
155	* BigWhat:
156	** In the original:
157	*** Chill does two of these when he finds out that Calvin escaped.
158	*** Calvin also does this upon finding that Camp Pine wasn't even that far.
159	** In the remake:
160	*** Calvin does this upon Hobbes snarking on something he said.
161	* TheMovie: A [[ScriptFic fake]] one.
162	* SayMyName: Lots of times.
163	* ScriptFic
164	* SummerCampy: Camp Pine.
165	* TitleTheAdaptation
