Kiara the Brave has a couple tropes.

  • The Mockbuster: Obviously, of Brave. Though plot wise, it's more like Disney's Hercules.
  • Genius Loci: The planets of the Solar System are sentient and anthropomorphic.
  • Magitek: The wizard has a magic laptop, for some reason.
  • Ambiguously Human: Arbit looks human, but it's never mentioned what he is. And he's the son of Destiny.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: of destiny.
  • Redhead In Green: Kiara has red hair and wears a green dress.
  • Aerith and Bob: The characters have names like Maximus, Dreadmus, Mesmerizer, and Super Cloud. The most ordinary name is Kiara, and the two lizards are named "Accidentally and Suddenly".
  • Environmental Symbolism: About the o-zone layer, and clouds and shit.
  • Human Alien: The Dreamzonians, or "Clouds".

I'd expand upon some of the trope entries (the ones for Anthropomorphic Personification, Environmental Symbolism and Human Alien are ZCE), but otherwise it's enough material to give that work its own article. However, if you do intendo to create it, make sure the overall tone of the description an the examples is wholesome (Mockbusters tend to attract a lot of complaining and snark, which we don't want in TV Tropes).

Lewis Schoenbrun shamelessly plagarizes another film, then gets all defensive when somebody posts a clip of HIS movie. What a hypocrite.

IKR? And not even in a funny way, just a Jerkass way!

From what I hear, Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty was based on an old meme, and started production when Unikitty was just a character in The Lego Movie, so I don't think it counts.

Could the Godfrey Ho Ninja Movies count? I heard suggestions they were blatant attempts to try and cash in on the ninja craze of the time (obviously by working ninja footage into otherwise non-ninja films as a contrivance...)

This could use some information on Bollywood ripoffs of Hollywood films.

It took me three reads to realize that all of the potholes are wrong on purpose. I was just about to fix them all, too.
