"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Sylvester and the Magic Pebble / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The narration points out that Sylvester could have dealt with the lion in a much better way by simply wishing for it to disappear or wishing himself back home but was too panicked to think clearly. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Sylvester and the Magic Pebble / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: Sylvester can't move or talk as a rock, which means that he can't use the pebble to wish himself back to normal form. It's implied that if his parents hadn't found him, he would have decided to sleep forever and basically give up his human (or rather "donkey") consciousness entirely. | |

Dramatic Irony: Sylvester's parents talk about him and how they strangely feel like he may not be that far away from them after all while they're sitting on a rock that they're unaware is Sylvester himself. | |
