| Tabaluga (Franchise) | comment |
Tabaluga, a small green dragon, is the protagonist of a franchise of the same name.He was created in 1983 by German singers Peter Maffay, Rolf Zuckowski, and Maffay's songwriter Gregor Rottschalk. Originally only created for one concept album, the franchise has since spawned 7 concept albums, 4 musicals based on them, a novel, a Game Show, an animated series and special by Yoram Gross, audio drama adaptations of this series, several books, Board Games, and an award for charitable work (the "Golden Tabaluga"). To top it off, a new CGI movie was released in December 2018, later dubbed and released in English in 2019 under the title "Ice Princess Lily", with its sequel in production as of 2022.To make matters more complicated, concept albums and musicals have a separate continuity than the cartoon, which is more well-known internationally, with the second musical featuring both characters from the former and the latter.Common connections between the continuities are Tabaluga, his father Tyrion (often as a ghost), and the villain Arktos. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Tabaluga realises at the end of season 1 that, as the avatar of winter, Arktos is simply too important to the balance of nature to destroy completely, and indeed saves his life during season 3 for the same reason. | |

They both learn their names at the end, thus creating the reason why Tabaluga is named as such.Bonus factPeter Maffay stated on one occasion that Tabaluga's name doesn't mean anything and is a nonsense word. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: Arktos is saved by Tabaluga on more than one occasion (one of the episodes of Season 3 is entirely dedicated to saving Arktos' life) and he still wages war on Greenland and wants to defeat Tabaluga. Humsin pretends to be sick and dying, knowing that Tabaluga will try save him, and even promises to surrender. Once Tabaluga follows Humsin's instructions to "help" him, Humsin reveals he was faking it, and Tabaluga's actions lead to Greenland being turned into a desert. Subverted with Vulture in the episode Dangerous Confidence. Vultur almost dies but Tabaluga saves his life by bringing him into a secret valley that Humsin is not supposed to know about. Later, Humsin attempts to destroy the valley, implying that Vulture did tell him... only for it to be revealed that Vulture did not say anything, and this was all staged by Arktos who wanted to make Tabaluga seem incompetent. This is carried into a following episode where Arktos and Humsin team up against Tabaluga and send Vulture to spy on him. Vulture, remembering Tabaluga saving his life, warns Tabaluga of the villains' plans. After that, this is forgotten and Vulture is once again on Humsin's side, and tries to help him in defeating Tabaluga. Not only that, but even in Season 3 where Humsin is dead, Vulture goes back to serve Arktos instead of joining Tabaluga. It’s especially noticeable that Arktos was actually the one that almost caused his death in that aforementioned episode (albeit Vulture wasn’t aware of it). And unlike Kayo, Vultur never performs Heel–Face Turn. | |

Signs of Disrepair: Tabaluga finds his mother's grave with the words "Tabaluga" "Fire" and "Iceland" and some moss, which he assumes is a message telling him to find his fire in Iceland. Later on, he rechecks the grave and when the moss is wiped off, it reads, "Tabaluga, find your fire, beware of Iceland." Doubles as Once More, with Clarity. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Arktos did not debut until the third concept album. The second album had an unique villain known as Deimon, The Lord of Hate, who was responsible for killing Tabaluga's father Tyrion. Deimon's pet snake Bilingua would appear in the cartoon, while Deimon would pretty much be erased from the franchise. | |

Our Time Travel Is Different | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_56698261 | comment |
Our Time Travel Is Different: The River of Time serves as a natural time machine, although the degree and method of travel changes throughout the series: In season 1, the person has to look into the river to see the past like a movie. In season 2, the person has to jump into the river and swim upstream (into the past), but has to swim downstream bit by bit to see how events progress. These events are presented in varied ways: sometimes like a movie on the wall, sometimes the viewer is where things took place, although without the ability to change anything. In season 3, the method is similar to season 2, but the person has to come out of the river and the cave to see the past events in person, with the ability to change the course of history. | |

Interim Villain: Humsin in season 2 can be treated as such. While Arktos still prominently appears there, he has been reduced to an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain, who mostly just whines about not being able to conquer Greenland (and sometimes even teaming up with the Greenlanders against Humsin, albeit for his own benefit), while Humsin is the real threat to Greenland. | |

Disney Villain Death: Humsin falls off a waterfall by the end of the second season. His death is very similar to that of an actual Disney villain, Percival McLeach from The Rescuers Down Under. Not that it's the fall that kills the sand elemental, but rather being dissolved by the rushing water. | |

Plot Hole: Season 3 focuses on Tabaluga's quest for Dragon Pendant. However, in the season 2 episode The Big Change, he already has it. In one of the very early episodes, Servant of Two Masters, Shouhou shows the past from his crystal ball. In season 3, he claims the crystal ball doesn't show the past. In the season 1 episode The Flow of Time: Tabaluga sees his father's youth in the River of Time. When Arktos also shows up in the retrospection, he's already an adult. Come the season 3 episode Where is Winter?, where Tabaluga goes back in time and meets his young father face to face, here Arktos is very young ( compared with Tyrion being slightly older than he was in the season 1 retrospection). In The Last One of His Kind, it's stated that Tyrion lived very long ago and that it sometimes takes centuries for dragons to hatch, explaining how Tabaluga can still be his son. However, in Servant Of Two Masters and The Sands of Doom, it's shown that Shouhou lived during Tyrion's time, and (in the former episode) was his mentor. The latter episode also shows James being Arktos' servant despite the fact that it's clear James isn't that old. The situation of the ostrich working for Humsin. In episode My Baby, where Humsin gets mad at her and many other of his servants and banishes them all, they end up in Greenland and with her husband, they raise their kids and befriend Greenlanders. However, the following episodes nullify this. | |

Spirit Advisor: Tabaluga's father, Tyrion, is this to his son. The ways they communicate, however, change between the works: In music albums and season 1 of cartoon, Tyrion visits Tabaluga in his dreams. In season 2, Tyrion appears in a cloud on the sky, similar to Mufasa. In season 3, Tyrion in his adult form talks with Tabaluga only once, in Crystal Cave in series finale. | |

Lightning Can Do Anything | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_65244998 | comment |
Lightning Can Do Anything: A lightning bolt eventually powers up the giant toy dozer that Arktos builds (which previously wouldn't start since it was modelled after a battery powered toy), allowing him to start his rampage. Justified since it needed electricity to work. | |

Magic A Is Magic A: The Power of Love seems to be what gives a dragon their fire - but on the flip side, they lose their fire if they lose the one they love. Tyrion loses his fire when his wife is shot down by Arktos, and when Lily appears to have died Tabaluga temporarily loses his. Arktos remembering the former allows him to realize this detail, giving him a chance to gloat as he prepares to kill the defenceless Tabaluga. | |

| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: With Advertised Extra in case of Lily. Some language versions (i.e. Australian, Russian, English) changed the title to Ice Princess Lily, due to release dates being close to Frozen II premiere possibly in order to draw more attention, making Lily the title character and eliminating Tabaluga from the posters. This backfired, as some reviews called the movie "a ripoff of Frozen".In factoriginal Tabaluga stories on which the movie is based (Tabaluga and Lili, the novel and the cartoon) were created 20 years before Frozen. | |

What Song Was This Again? | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_86101877 | comment |
What Song Was This Again?: "Tabaluga" (the song that the theme song was based off of) was originally about Tabaluga being fed up with Tyrion telling him about right and wrong and wanting to be like the older dragons as a result. In all other languages, it became an Expository Theme Tune sung from a different perspective that not only talks about Tabaluga, but about Arktos as well. | |

To put it straight, Arktos is far from the most dangerous threat or most evil villain that Tabaluga faces, despite being the Big Bad of the franchise and arch-nemesis of all dragons from Greenland. That is, until the last episode of Season 3, where Arktos manages to get a hold of the Dragon Pendant and use it to render Tabaluga completely powerless. | |

The help turns out to be a trap with Humsin summoning a tornado, and Greenland ends up turning into a desert. In the season 3 episode Where is Winter?, Arktos is deathly ill, and Tabaluga has to go back in time to acquire a long-lost flower, which will cure the snowman. | |

Prophecy Twist | |

Prophecy Twist: Played With. In the episode Good Fortune, Shouhou's crystal ball shows that a great stone thrown by Humsin will destroy a net protecting Greenland. The Greenlanders try to fight destiny, but in the end, the stone destroys the net, just like the ball showed... and then Humsin's land, because Kayo had stolen the net and repositioned it to guard Humsin's castle. This is because the ball does not answer questions about the future in a straight manner. | |

Shout-Out: To Formula One 2002 season in the season 3 episode Ready, Set, Go!. The finish of the race (Arktos winning by the length of his nose) references the 2002 United States Grand Prix.note The second closest finish in F1 history. | |

Rage Breaking Point | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_c819533b | comment |
Rage Breaking Point: During most of the movie, Tabaluga remains calm and understanding with Leo even when the other Greenlanders turn on the boy, but after Leo’s clumsiness causes one accident too many, even Tabaluga gets mad. He calms down again rather quickly when he finds out Leo is an orphan too though. | |

Art Evolution: While the character designs remained consistent, the animation gets better over the seasons. The pilot trailer marks the only time Tabaluga is animated with hand-painted cels. When the series got greenlit, Yoram Gross decided to use digital ink and paint. (It's also the first Yoram Gross series, along with Samuel & Nina to use this technique.) | |

Monster of the Week | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_e9604359 | comment |
Monster of the Week: Usually, in the vast majority of episodes, it's Arktos or Humsin who wants to destroy Greenland. That said, there are very few episodes that have an individual one-episode villain (though, Arktos or Humsin still show up). In season 1's episode, Queen For One Day, Billingua snake. She's a snake with the power of hypnosis, and her intention is to hypnotize both Tabaluga and Arktos, so she can rule Ice World and Greenland. It becomes more common to have individual villains in Season 3 since Tabaluga embarks on a heroic journey for the dragon's pendant. Thus, he encounters some new villains on his journey (though Arktos is still the main villain as he pursues Tabaluga so he can have the pendant for himself). In the episode Eye in the Sky, the villain of the week is the evil warlock Tempest who enslaves rabbits from the local village and guards the wind sign (one of the five signs Tabaluga must acquire in order to have the pendant. It's revealed that Tempest is nothing more than a rabbit in disguise. In a later episode, Whale of Tale, Tabaluga goes on a sea voyage to find the water sign, and Arktos hires a crew of pirates who kidnap whales to pull Arktos's ship, destroy Tabaluga's ship, kidnap his friends, and almost kill Tabaluga. In the following episode Arktos's Last Grasp, Queen Isadora shows up, and Arktos falls in love with her, while she uses him for her wicked ends. | |

The Vamp: Queen Isadora in Season 3's episode The Last Grasp is this for Arktos. He falls in love with her and she promises to rule the world with him while in reality, she plans to rule it herself and only uses him to make the potion for her (when he breathes into the potion, the energy gets sucked out of him). | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Tabaluga (Franchise) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Zigzagged throughout the whole series with Arktos freezing other creatures. His victims in the present are eventually defrosted unharmed but Tyrion died this way. Averted in: The season 1 episode Dragons Don't Cry: Happy is close to death because she has eaten poisonous fruit. The season 2 episode Digby the Hero: Shouhou convinces Digby to save the lives of Tabaluga and co. who are trapped in a cave under the desert. The problem? By the time Shouhou discovers where the dragon and his friends are stuck, they're unconscious because there's almost no oxygen in the cave. The season 2 episode The Sands of Doom: in the retrospection, Arktos freezes Tabaluga's father, Tyrion. The season 3 episode Menace in the Mountains: Tabaluga comes so close to the Magnetic Mountain in order to get the last Dragon Sign, that if it wasn't for the River of Life (and Kayo beforehand), he'd have died. | |
