Retired Badass: Diane Foxington is revealed to be the elusive Crimson Paw when she helps the Bad Guys clear their name. She reveals that she came the closest to stealing the Golden Dolphin out of anyone, but realized she could do some good instead of sticking to stereotypes. She implies she still uses her skills for good despite being a governor. When Diane breaks the gang out of prison, she wonders if she's become rusty. She smugly states after they're free that she's still got it.

Fauxshadowing: Snake's compulsive love of eating guinea pigs, discussed in the opening's Seinfeldian Conversation, is just leading up to the lab heist being bungled and has no later role in Marmalade's defeat. Not even after Snake joins him as a Fake Defector does this come into play, with only a brief mention of it by Wolf, though it could be argued that while this would have been significantly easier than Snake's actual plan, Marmalade being Evil All Along was not known to the public and as such, Snake eating Marmalade on the spot would have only resulted in him being implicated for the murder of a famous philanthropist, exactly the opposite of what he intended.

Hero Antagonist: The police chief, although a little on the crazy side, is a Zenigata-esque dedicated law enforcement officer and initially the gang's primary opponent who pursues them throughout the movie. Governor Diane Foxington is introduced as this. She's just fulfilling her role in keeping Los Angeles safe, which puts her at odds with the Bad Guys. The "antagonist" part is gradually dropped.

Redemption Quest
 The Bad Guys / int_188668f2
comment
Redemption Quest: Pretty much the entire plot of the movie. The gang members start off as criminals, and the movie chronicles Mr. Wolf exploiting this to buy them another attempt at stealing the Golden Dolphin. He is slowly inspired into doing this for real and his friends slowly follow suit. Mr. Wolf even directly says the phrase "redemption arcs" out loud in reference to the gang's Heel–Face Turn after Marmalade's schemes are revealed.

Gone Horribly Right: Marmalade manipulates the Bad Guys into a Heel–Face Turn with the assumption that Virtue Is Weakness and will make them easier to manipulate, including finding a way to turn their caper skills towards a zeal for good. This ends up biting him in the rump in a big way, as this gives the Bad Guys both the skill and motivation needed to band together and foil his evil plot.

Poor Communication Kills: Mr. Wolf doesn't tell the others about his encounter with the old lady at the museum, nor about the feeling he gets from being good. Marmalade exploits this to make Mr. Snake believe Wolf was willing to abandon the gang in search of a better life, leading to their nasty falling out in the prison.

Caper Crew: The roles of the Bad Guys in the heist are laid out via commercials and descriptions as such: Mr. Wolf - The Mastermind. He's the leader of the crew, the one that holds the heists together for plans. He's also the Pickpocket and the Driver. Mr. Snake — The Safe-Cracker. Called a "Houdini with no arms", he is able to break into safes with ease. Mr. Shark — The Distraction. Using his mastery of disguises, he draws others away from the major action, or uses his disguises to slink into the action. Mr. Piranha — The Muscle. Despite being one of the smaller members of the team, he is short-fused and powerful, packing a strong punch. Ms. Tarantula — The Hacker. She stays behind the scenes and uses her tech skills to shut off cameras and get into systems.

Chekhov's Gag: Believe it or not, it's done with a fart joke: Mr. Piranha's farts are initially just a nervous reaction, with the usual (if tighter-paced) reaction to it. Then it comes back during the Golden Dolphin heist, when Piranha nearly ruins it by causing Ms. Tarantula to pass out when trying to hack into the security system, and then causes Marmalade's henchman Cuddles to faint while Diane and Mr. Wolf are in a death trap, leaving the rest of the team to successfully rescue them.

Chekhov's Gun: The lamp made to look like the Love Crater Meteorite at Marmalade's house looks so much like the real deal that it ends up lending itself perfectly to a switcharoo, which Mr. Snake takes full advantage of in his elaborate plan to expose Marmalade and his crimes in front of everyone. Diane Foxington's diamond ring, which Mr. Wolf steals from her during the Golden Dolphin job, and which she later picks from his pocket. It turns out the diamond in question is the Zumpango Diamond, which she stole back when she was the Crimson Paw. Toward the end, the diamond is discovered in Marmalade's possession, having taken it off Diane while she was in his death trap, prompting him to be arrested on suspicion of being the Crimson Paw. The map on the charity gala program. When the team is about to be arrested for stealing the Love Crater Meteorite, Mr. Wolf hastily hands Diane the program map, which ends up revealing the location of all the Bad Guys' loot. Later when Wolf and Diane are trying to figure out Marmalade's scheme, Wolf lays the charity map over Diane's map of the guinea pig heat signatures, revealing the trucks carrying the charity money are the targets. The raid on the guinea pig testing lab. Ostensibly done to free the lab animals, it turns two hundred thousand guinea pigs loose on the streets, free to do Marmalade's bidding.

The rescue of captive guinea pigs from Sunnyside, along with Mr. Snake eating the creatures he's supposed to be saving, mirrors the plot of the second book, "Mission Unpluckable". The only difference is that the book uses chickens instead of guinea pigs. Mr. Wolf even forces him to spit them out the same way, by twirling him over his head.

Mythology Gag
 The Bad Guys / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The film's US poster features Mr. Wolf's gang cruising in their muscle car towards the screen. It is modeled after the first book's chapter cover art called "Cruising for Trouble". The rap sheets of Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha, seen in the opening chase sequence, are pulled directly from their rap sheets in the first book. The "attempt" to rescue a cat stuck in a tree, along with the gang terrifying the cat even further, references the "first good deed" in the first book of the series. The rescue of captive guinea pigs from Sunnyside, along with Mr. Snake eating the creatures he's supposed to be saving, mirrors the plot of the second book, "Mission Unpluckable". The only difference is that the book uses chickens instead of guinea pigs. Mr. Wolf even forces him to spit them out the same way, by twirling him over his head. In order to get inside Sunnyside, Mr. Wolf uses Mr. Snake as a lasso to reach a small, open window, but continuously hits Mr. Snake against the glass. This mirrors the prison break heist in book 1, where Mr. Wolf attaches Mr. Snake and Mr. Piranha to a grappling hook and tries to throw it through a small window, only to hit them against the wall several times. While trying to corral the guinea pigs, Mr. Shark says "We're gonna save you, whether you like it or not!" This calls back to the books' original Tagline: "Good deeds, whether you like them or not!" The MacGuffin that the climax of the plot revolves around is a heart-shaped meteorite that Piranha insists looks like a butt. Its extraterrestrial origin and supernatural powers are an allusion to the aliens with multiple prominent butts that are involved in the book's version of events. During the frantic escape from the charity gala, Mr. Piranha stops and says, "No! I do not run! That is not how I roll!" This quote is taken directly from book 7, and just like in the film, its utterance leads to disastrous results. The scene where Diane breaks The Bad Guys out of jail, as the Crimson Paw, by beating up the guards is similar on how her book counterpart was introduced in book 3. The only difference was that her book counterpart (Ellen) was an agent disguised as a ninja and the guards she fought off worked for Marmalade and not for the prison. The climax involves a horde of brainwashed guinea pigs doing Professor Marmalade's bidding, inspired by the zombie kitten outbreak Doctor Marmalade unleashes in book 4. A poster for the DreamWorks short Bilby, directed by the movie's director Pierre Perifel, can be seen when brainwashed guinea pigs break out of their cages at a pet store.

The movie starts with the gang gently ribbing Mr. Snake over how much he hates birthdays, which seems to just be a joke about what a grouch he is. After the gang is broken out of prison, Mr. Snake, feeling betrayed by Mr. Wolf deciding to go good for real, reveals his resentment for birthdays stems from his childhood, where he spent his birthdays alone because no one could see him as anything other than a monster.

Defrosting Ice Queen

comment
Defrosting Ice Queen: At first, Diane Foxington is virulently contemptuous of the Bad Guys and opposed to the experiment to reform them. When Mr. Wolf lets slip that part of him wants to genuinely change, she starts becoming nicer with him and more supportive. She eventually becomes his main support in his redemption, his implied Love Interest, and the post-Heel–Face Turn Bad Guys' 11th-Hour Ranger. It's also reciprocated. At first, Wolf's main reason to steal the Golden Dolphin is to humiliate her in retaliation for insulting him and his team. After she starts defrosting and supporting him, he starts warming up to her, to the point that he gives up on the plan and tells her where the gang's hideout and loot is, because the idea of betraying her trust is now unbearable to him.

Strange Minds Think Alike: Snake refers to Wolf trying to sweet-talk Diane as "the full Clooney". Cut to Wolf sliding up to Diane, to which she responds with "Do not Clooney me, Wolf!"

Marmalade nearly manages to get away with his scheme and convince the public he was saving the meteorite from the Bad Guys, whom he had framed for stealing it. Then the "meteorite" is revealed to be a decoy, and his illusion of victory comes crashing down as Mr. Snake reveals where the real one is.

Not Helping Your Case: When the Bad Guys are framed for stealing the Love Crater Meteorite, Mr. Wolf insists that they weren't responsible. A few moments later, a taunting vanity mark of him goes off on the display screen, and the Bad Guys are swiftly detained as nobody lives a finger to help them. It's only because Wolf takes a few precious seconds to give Diane some critical information before his arrest that she realizes that he really was turning good, which helps her figure out who the real culprit was.

Fakin' MacGuffin: The lamp replica of the Love Crater Meteorite is repainted by Mr. Snake to look like the real thing, and he switches it with the real one for the gang to steal. With the gang and Marmalade out of the way, Snake puts the real meteorite back to overcharge until it explodes, and Marmalade fails to catch on to the ploy until too late.

Then Let Me Be Evil: Mr. Wolf says that society has only ever viewed him and his friends as villains, so they may as well play the cards they've been dealt. Deconstructed in that, while they've found genuine companionship in each other, the trauma behind those circumstances still exists, and it sucks thinking you'll be despised no matter what. Mr. Wolf sufferers this the most because his species is portrayed as the villain in almost every story.

Blue Is Heroic is played with, as the color is also used to symbolize antagonistic forces that disrupt the Bad Guys's lives. The police wear blue throughout the film, Marmalade wears blue in the first act, the Bad Guys themselves wear blue tuxedoes to the Charity Gala when they're winning the public over but are still wearing them when they're framed for the theft of the meteorite, which nearly destroys their lives, and the Love Crater Meteorite glows blue throughout the third act.

Blatant Lies: When Marmalade is (rather rightfully) mistaken for the Crimson Paw, he's arrested for her crimes. In response to all this, he tries to call out Diane as the true Crimson Paw, all the while calling himself "the flower of goodness". Aside from the fact Marmalade is anything but, the whole world just witnessed that he was party to keeping the stolen meteorite in his compound and using it to steal charity money. There's no point keeping up the "pwecious widdle good Samaritan" act any longer, but he still has the gall to lie through his teeth that he's the height of goodness.

Paper-Thin Disguise: All the disguises the gang uses are basically just regular clothes, with minor but glaringly obvious cosmetics such as fake mustaches on Wolf. The Bad Guys are still obviously recognizable as animals, but somehow nobody notices them until they mess something up. Played for Laughs with Mr. Shark, who's described as an "apex predator of a thousand faces". None of his disguises do anything to hide the fact he's a shark, mostly just involving a wig or a false mustache. He even manages to disguise himself as the Mona Lisa undetected.

After being broken out of jail, they go their separate ways. They eventually reconcile, with Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Webs saving Wolf and Diane from a death trap, while Mr. Snake uses the argument as cover for faking his defection in order to sabotage Marmalade's scheme, reuniting with Mr. Wolf and the gang in the end.

Black-and-Grey Morality: For a kids' movie, anyway. The Bad Guys make it clear that their moral compasses don't exactly point north, but at the very least they won't stoop so low as to steal from charities, unlike Marmalade. Mr. Snake is also horrified at the idea of Marmalade attempting to outright murder his old comrades in the climax, unlike the sociopathic guinea pig, and even the folks on the side of good don't exactly have a clean slate: Diane is a reformed master criminal, and Officer Luggins is just a bit off her rocker.

Cerebus Callback: The movie starts with the gang gently ribbing Mr. Snake over how much he hates birthdays, which seems to just be a joke about what a grouch he is. After the gang is broken out of prison, Mr. Snake, feeling betrayed by Mr. Wolf deciding to go good for real, reveals his resentment for birthdays stems from his childhood, where he spent his birthdays alone because no one could see him as anything other than a monster. When Mr. Wolf first introduces himself to the audience, he refers to himself as the Big Bad Wolf, "the villain in every story", followed by a shot of a dozen children's books where the wolf is the antagonist. While he does this to brag about how villainous he is, his later conversation with Diane reveals how those kinds of stories left a bigger emotional scar than he's willing to admit. The highlight of the first trailer is Mr. Wolf saving an old lady, resulting him in being called a good boy and giving him a tingling sensation. In the actual film, he saves her in order not to not blow his cover when he tries to steal her purse. And the whole scene takes a different tone again when Marmalade reveals it was him in disguise as an old lady, and he intentionally goaded Wolf to do what he did in order to make him feel good and be an Unwitting Pawn. The mugshot moment shown in the trailers appeared to happen early in the film, with some lightheartedness due to how comical they look when getting their photos. It actually takes place in the last act during a tense moment between Wolf and the gang. They're just all compelled to look good in photos even while having a heated moment, especially Wolf.

Police Are Useless: Despite the large size of the police force, they've spent years trying and failing to capture the Bad Guys, easily falling for their traps and disguises. They only succeed during the Golden Dolphin heist when the gang's escape fails, and even that's short-lived, as Marmalade has them taken to his compound for rehabilitation. And when the gang is framed for stealing the meteorite, none of the police question it (with Chief Luggins talking over Mr. Wolf's pleas of innocence), and send them to an inescapable prison island, despite no direct evidence of them doing anything wrong — including not having the meteorite. And in the end, Marmalade isn't immediately arrested for demonstrably stealing the meteorite, only being arrested after being implicated as the Crimson Paw.

Karma Houdini Warranty: Marmalade suffers this twofold in the finale. His heist involving the meteorite and mind-controlled guinea pigs is foiled, but he could and by implication would try again by safeguarding the meteorite back home. Mr. Snake reveals that he switched the meteorite with the imitation lamp, overloading the real one to destroy it and Marmalade's compound, revealing the professor as the real thief and clearing the crew’s names. Then, when the Zumpango diamond falls out of his pocket — the same diamond he took off Diane earlier and discovered she's the Crimson Paw — Chief Luggins recognizes it and all of Diane's crimes are pinned on Marmalade instead.

Suddenly Shouting: An inversion: after Marmalade reveals he stole the meteorite and framed the Bad Guys for it, Mr. Wolf lunges at him and Marmalade starts acting scared and panicky. As the Bad Guys are being taken away, Marmalade goes from nervous hyper-ventilating to being just as composed and chipper as he's ever been throughout the film the moment a camera crew comes over to interview him. That he does this in clear view of Diane is enough to tip her off that Marmalade may not be entirely truthful... and that Mr. Wolf's attempt at a Heel–Face Turn was genuine.

Pragmatic Adaptation: While the movie's tone is overall more serious and grounded than the book series (while still being a comedy involving anthropomorphic animals), the film nevertheless adapts the events of the first four books fairly faithfully into its own tone and style, with several scenes from the books recreated almost exactly. Additionally, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Webs are made more anthropomorphic, whereas the book series had them closer to animals.

Animal Stereotypes: As with the original books, these are Zig-Zagged Tropes.

Even Diane's Heel–Face Turn is brought on by her defiance of the Foul Fox trope.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The supportive messages Wolf gets when he saves the cat from a tree have a few blink-and-you'll-miss it amusing messages thrown in, such as "Wait, the wolf's name is Wolf?" and an ad for real estate. The police files at the beginning of the movie when introducing each member also have jokes thrown in, but they only appear for a split second. Mr. Snake's is probably the easiest to read, and it details his (successful) attempt to eat an entire pet store's worth of animals.

Falsely Reformed Villain: Wolf sells the gang on going good by explaining they'll go along with the reform program to get themselves in the position to complete their heist of the Golden Dolphin. Wolf eventually ditches the "falsely" part. The rest of the gang takes more time, but eventually does too.

Cannot Spit It Out: While in prison, Mr. Snake confronts Mr. Wolf about the conversation he had with Prof. Marmalade where Marmalade told him to cut the other Bad Guys loose. Mr. Wolf says that he's tired of people being scared of him, and Mr. Snake asks if that means he's also tired of being a bad guy. Wolf fails to say the words, unfortunately proving Snake right.

Aluminum Christmas Trees: For those outside of North America, the "push pop" seems odd — but it is an actual type of popsicle (ordinarily made with frozen grape or orange sherbet) that's sold there.

When the Bad Guys are listing off all the past people who have ever attempted to steal the Golden Dolphin, one such person is the Crimson Paw, the only person who isn't given a face to go with a name. Between this and the fact she wasn't caught, it sets up that she's actually a fox named Diane who turned good and became a public servant.

"There, there. Of course you didn't do it, how could you? After all...you're such a good boy." This is said by Marmalade to Mr. Wolf after the gang is framed and arrested for stealing the meteorite, revealing he had been manipulating him the entire time, and was actually in disguise as the old lady at the award ceremony.

Good Feels Good: When Mr. Wolf saves an old lady from falling down the stairs instead of stealing her purse like planned, her calling him a "good boy" makes him unconsciously wag his tail, feel a shiver in his entire body, and start to question his motives. The sensation is referred to repeatedly as a "tingle", and is used as a motivator tool by Marmalade. When the rest of the gang feels it for the first time, they realize that Wolf was right and they can be more than hated pariahs, that they can change, and that they want to, sealing their Heel–Face Turn.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: All things related to the Bad Guys are in warm colors, not just to stand in contrast to the police's blue uniforms, but also to signal allegiances in the story. Notably, during the Golden Dolphin heist, Diane is wearing pink, hinting her true role long before the second act. Blue Is Heroic is played with, as the color is also used to symbolize antagonistic forces that disrupt the Bad Guys's lives. The police wear blue throughout the film, Marmalade wears blue in the first act, the Bad Guys themselves wear blue tuxedoes to the Charity Gala when they're winning the public over but are still wearing them when they're framed for the theft of the meteorite, which nearly destroys their lives, and the Love Crater Meteorite glows blue throughout the third act.

Once More, with Clarity!: When Marmalade calls Mr. Wolf "such a good boy", Mr. Wolf flashes back to everything leading up to the Charity Gala event, and pieces together Marmalade's true intention to steal the meteorite. An alternate angle of the old lady is shown, revealing her to be Marmalade in disguise. When Chief Luggins points out that the "meteorite" is actually a lamp, Mr. Snake's actions are shown in a flashback, this time from his perspective and revealing his real intentions to sabotage Marmalade's plot from within.

Seeing certain people or groups of individuals in black-and-white — where certain people are either unambiguously good or irredeemable villains — is a harmful way to see the world. In doing so, the ones labeled as “bad guys” only further alienates them from any honest attempts to help them become better people, while treating someone as inherently good allows them open to get away with horrible things by being manipulative and deceptive.

Good Animals, Evil Animals

Good Animals, Evil Animals: The main characters of the film are a heist gang who are representatives of animal species popularly depicted as monstrous or disgusting. In the trailer, Mr. Wolf states that the gang was forced into crime because society associated them with evil, implying there's Fantastic Racism based off of this trope. Marmalade uses this to his advantage when he steals the Love Meteorite and frames the Bad Guys for it. After all, who are people going to believe is more capable of such a crime — five scary and threatening predators with a long criminal history, or an adorable, famously philanthropic guinea pig?

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Piranha's singing and the improvised dance number does manage to distract the gala attendees long enough for the rest of the crew to set up the Golden Dolphin heist. It also increases donations from around a million dollars at most to a few dollars short of a billion. Considering Marmalade's plan to steal from his own charity, their efforts to keep their own heist from failing only managed to increase his ultimate take a thousandfold. When Mr. Wolf's Heel–Face Turn finally takes full effect, they don't even get the loot they were going for in the first place.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Marmalade's arrest. Luggins assumes he was the Crimson Paw the whole time, but it was all a big coincidence that lead to this conclusion. He did try to steal the Love Crater Meteorite and terrorize the entire city, though, which means it wouldn't be wrong to say he didn't deserve it.

Magnetic Plot Device: The Love Crater Meteorite, which crashed into Los Angeles a year prior to the events of the film and formed a huge crater. Marmalade's actions in the disaster's aftermath put him in the spotlight, leading to him being given the Good Samaritan Award and setting the events of the film in motion. More importantly, it's an energy source unlike anything on Earth, and Marmalade creates a plan to steal it to use in his own crimes and set up the Bad Guys — who had no interest in the meteorite prior — to take the fall for him.

Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: After the disastrous mission at Sunnyside, the action slows down for three more interpersonal scenes: a heart-to-heart between Mr. Wolf and Diane, followed by a gentle scene of Mr. Wolf saving the cat from the tree, and finally Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake talking about the plan. The action picks up again at the charity gala. Following the escape from the prison island, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake have an intense falling out and go their separate ways, both visibly bitter and heartbroken. This is followed by another moment between Mr. Wolf and Diane, who tells him about her own experience of giving her life of crime up to make a better life for herself.

Foreshadowing
 The Bad Guys / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: Diane has a lot of very detailed criticisms about the gang's latest heist that foreshadow her identity as the Crimson Paw. When Marmalade is introduced, he responds to a comment comparing him to Mother Theresa that they'd tie in the goodness department. This hints that he's not as altruistic as he paints himself as, and that his goodness is just for show. The old lady's purse at the award ceremony is full of easily-stolen items seemingly meant to lure Wolf into noticing her. At the start of the film, Mr. Wolf deliberately takes the high-speed car chase right to the police station's front door. Mr. Wolf justifies this as him wanting to prolong the chase because it's his "favorite part", but this also implies the existence of the self-destructive streak that Diane later calls him out on. When talking to a disguised Mr. Wolf outside the museum, Diane takes him by the arm and shows him how the trash sculpture has a hidden, beautiful meaning. This foreshadows her role in helping Mr. Wolf reform for real later on. After Wolf and Diane steal the meteorite, they notice the guinea pigs are still hypnotized, hinting that the meteorite they stole isn't the real meteorite after all. When the Bad Guys are listing off all the past people who have ever attempted to steal the Golden Dolphin, one such person is the Crimson Paw, the only person who isn't given a face to go with a name. Between this and the fact she wasn't caught, it sets up that she's actually a fox named Diane who turned good and became a public servant. Marmalade's training exercises for the Bad Guys are as simple as sharing a push pop, helping an "old lady" across the street, and rescuing a cat out of a tree. His follow-up idea is committing eco-terrorism on an animal testing lab with a detailed course of action and knowledge of the building's layout. Not exactly the kind of thing that says "Good Samaritan of the Year."

Cut Lex Luthor a Check
 The Bad Guys / int_9fbf8969
comment
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Professor Marmalade is a savvy enough businessman to create a thriving charity organization successful enough to get him the In-Universe equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize. He is also a brilliant enough scientist that he recognizes the meteor's Applied Phlebotinum capabilities on sight and single-handedly creates a helmet-operated mind-control apparatus using it as a power source. He could have used that meteorite as a more general energy source or have developed his mind-controlling tech for commercial or military purposes, becoming the wealthiest person on the planet and the most beloved "good guy", if he simply applied its capabilities with transparency. Instead, he uses it for what amounts to embezzlement (as done by a Supervillain).

Rule of Three: Mr. Piranha's farts. The first two times, the farts are obnoxious and hinder the gang. The third time, it's weaponized to knock out Cuddles so the gang can save Mr. Wolf and Diane from Marmalade's death trap. The grappling hook. The first two times it's used, it fails to save the gang from being caught by the police. The third time, it saves the gang's lives, hooking onto the edge of the highway as they fall into the Love Crater. The push pops. The first two times, Mr. Snake is encouraged to share it with Mr. Shark, only to taunt him and take it for himself. The third time, Mr. Shark is having a breakdown over the gang's loot being stolen, and Mr. Snake gives it to him to cheer him up. This makes the others realize if even Mr. Snake can do good, there's hope for them too.

What You Are in the Dark
 The Bad Guys / int_afc6df04
comment
What You Are in the Dark: Learning to be a good person just for the sake of it, not for anyone else's eyes, is part of the movie's theme, as our characters exemplify. After Diane's speech about being good for one's own sake, Wolf sees the cat still stuck in the tree and decides to take her advice to heart. Without even knowing Marmalade was secretly filming the whole thing, Wolf genuinely coaxes the cat out of the tree and into his waiting arms. Back when she was Crimson Paw, Diane did manage to easily get the Golden Dolphin in her clutches, coming closer than anyone else ever has... except a literal self-reflection prompted her to leave without her prize, as she realized she didn't want to be the thief everyone sees foxes as. Despite not knowing Snake was a Fake Defector all along during the climax, the other Bad Guys find it in their hearts to ask their old friend to join their side once more. Additionally, while seemingly falling to their deaths, Wolf and Snake make up, with the latter declaring his love for his friends. And this is before Wolf reveals he has just the gadget to save their lives.

Just Between You and Me: As Marmalade talks to the Bad Guys in the prison van after the latter are framed for stealing the Love Crater Meteorite, he privately reveals to them that he was the true culprit and was playing them all for fools, especially Mr. Wolf whom he buttered up by exploiting his secret desire to reform. He initially gets away with it because the public is already scornful of the Bad Guys for their respective species and criminal past as well as the aforementioned frame-up, but this ultimately costs him dearly when it gives first Wolf and then the rest of the gang a reason to put a stop to his Evil Plan.

And Then What?: This is part of the reason why Diane ultimately gave up being the Crimson Paw.

All she saw was the same tricky fox that everyone else believed she was, and so she gave up on the heist and decided to actively change how everyone saw her by going good.

Too Powerful to Live: A non-character example with the Love Crater Meteorite, which is eventually shown to be an extremely potent energy source. Part of Mr. Snake's Fake Defector act involves him getting rid of the meteorite because, as he mentions near the end and as was earlier proven by Marmalade's mind-control scheme, that kind of power is simply too dangerous for anyone to handle in an ethical way. So once the decoy meteor was stolen by the others, Snake put the real one in its place and overloaded it, destroying both it and Marmalade's mansion.

Collapsing Lair: Mr. Snake reveals as he's being arrested that, counting on the Bad Guys and Diane to steal the meteorite from Marmalade's lab, he took advantage of Marmalade giving him the mind-control helmet to secretly have the guinea pigs switch it out for a decoy. Once the gang steals the fake, he put the real meteorite back and set the device to "Overdrive" — meaning that it's been constantly charging with more and more power while Marmalade tries to steal back the decoy. Cue a miles-high plume of energy shooting from Marmalade's lab and wiping it off the face of the earth. Marmalade is left in complete shock.

Shout-Out
 The Bad Guys / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Part of the team's "Good Guy" training is a role play involving helping an elderly grandmother across a road. Mr. Wolf is the one chosen to dress up as said grandmother for the exercise. As a caper film, there are various references to Lupin III. The lead character is a wolf ("Lupin" is French for "Wolf") who wears a slick suit and goes on heists. When Mr. Wolf tries to sweet-talk Foxington, Mr. Shark comments that he's going to give her "the full Clooney." A few instants later, Foxington snarls "Do not Clooney me, Wolf!" The film opens with two crooks (Wolf and Snake) having a casual conversation at a diner before committing a major crime, much like the beginning of Pulp Fiction. The main news channel that reports on all of the events throughout the movie is called Channel 6 Action News. Mr. Snake's outfit, a combo of a bucket hat and Hawaiian shirt, heavily invokes Hunter S. Thompson, specifically the fictional iteration of him in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. His original design pushed the reference further with aviator shades and a cigarette holder. Tiffany's design is essentially Maya Fey as filtered through the movie's cartoony art style.

Rage-Breaking Point: When Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake get into a heated argument, Mr. Wolf snaps and goes as far as to say that his friends are holding him back from having a better chance in life. Earlier, when Marmalade reveals that he used the Bad Guys as patsies to steal the Love Crater Meteorite, Wolf is overcome with rage and lashes out at him, going so far as to threaten to kill him. Marmalade uses this to his full advantage, kicking open the doors to the police van and feigning fear as the "big bad wolf" "attacks" him.

 The Bad Guys / int_c82e751f
comment
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Both heists to steal the Golden Dolphin are laid out in detail by Mr. Wolf, and neither heists succeed. Mr. Snake's plan to destroy the Love Crater Meteorite and expose Marmalade, which involves faking his defection and keeping everyone in the dark about his true intentions, ultimately succeeds.

Eat the Camera: Mr. Piranha "surprises" two security guards with his "Fish Surprise" dish. After one of the guards opens the lid of the dish, Piranha yells "SURPRISE!" and lunges toward the guards (aka the camera).

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The Golden Dolphin. As Mr. Snake describes it, it's ended the careers of every criminal that touches it, including the notorious Crimson Paw. The Bad Guys aren't immune either, as their attempt to steal it sets in motion the events that turn them into heroes instead of criminals. Not even Marmalade, a recipient of the award who is secretly evil, is immune, as its reappearance at the end of the movie leads directly to his arrest.

Outside-Context Problem: The movie is billed as a low-fantasy heist action movie in the same vein as Pulp Fiction, albeit for kids, with the overzealous Police Chief and the exceptionally cunning Governor as the main antagonists. Then during The Reveal at the gala, it turns out the real antagonist is a full-blown Supervillain with a master plan that wouldn't be out of place in a Batman movie.

"Eureka!"

Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Webs burst into tears, while Snake gets teary-eyed. Mr. Wolf, the only one who isn't crying, confidently produces the grappling hook gun that saves their lives.

Sympathy for the Devil: Invoked.

Mr. Wolf is playing him, hoping to use the pretense to get another chance at stealing the Golden Dolphin.

During the Golden Dolphin heist, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Piranha need to access a hall guarded by two security guards. Mr. Wolf instructs Mr. Shark, disguised as a woman, to create a distraction, but to keep it subtle. Cue Mr. Shark loudly yelling that he's having a baby and asking for a doctor... or maybe some security guards that can leave their posts. It works.

When Mr. Wolf first introduces himself to the audience, he refers to himself as the Big Bad Wolf, "the villain in every story", followed by a shot of a dozen children's books where the wolf is the antagonist. While he does this to brag about how villainous he is, his later conversation with Diane reveals how those kinds of stories left a bigger emotional scar than he's willing to admit.

The Big Bad Wolf: Pulling from the intro of the first book, Mr. Wolf addresses the audience and describes himself as "the big, bad wolf" during the opening chase sequence, and even has to dress like a grandma in one of Marmalade's goodness exercises. Marmalade directly invokes The Three Little Pigs after he frames the gang for stealing the meteorite, mocking how "the big bad wolf got outsmarted by a little piggie".

Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Mr. Snake's rap sheet, lifted from the first book, goes into great detail about his successful attempt at eating an entire pet shop and the police dog of the responding officer (as well as attempts at said officer and the shop's owner). During the Sunnyside heist, he devours most of the 200,000 guinea pigs he's meant to be rescuing and has to be forced to cough them up. When shown the cat stuck up a tree, Marmalade asks the gang what their hearts are telling them to do about it. They all suggest something more or less violent — cooking it, hurting it, eating it, singing to it — before a dumbfounded Marmalade tells them they're supposed to save it.

Cue Mr. Shark loudly yelling that he's having a baby and asking for a doctor... or maybe some security guards that can leave their posts. It works. During the Sunnyside Laboratory heist, Mr. Shark distracts a scientist disguised as his father so the rest of the gang can sneak inside through a window. At the charity gala, when Mr. Snake's tail gets caught in Chief Luggins' briefcase and the Chief is about to discover him, Mr. Piranha starts belting out "Good Tonight", with Mr. Shark on drums and Ms. Tarantula acting as DJ, to give Mr. Snake enough time to get the passcode and escape.

All Animals Are Dogs: Mr. Wolf's tail starts wagging involuntarily after he's called a good boy, which is understandable enough. In the third act, however, the rest of the crew also start involuntarily wagging body parts after realizing that they can change for the better and Good Feels Good. This trope is somewhat averted with the cat displaying distinctly feline motions instead of just doglike ones.

The Oner: Two bookend the film, both featuring Seinfeldian Conversations between Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake. The opening scene, where Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake converse in a diner before leaving to rob a bank, is done entirely in a single shot with no cuts. It's the longest one-shot in DreamWorks Animation history, lasting two minutes, 25 seconds, and seven frames. The final scene, where Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake are leaving prison, albeit shorter than the opening one.

Evil Feels Good: As Wolf says it, "We may be bad, but we're so good at it!" Although, it's revealed that they're criminals less because they want to be, and more because society's prejudice against them made them feel like they had no other choice. Ultimately subverted when Wolf realizes being good feels even better and decides to reform for real. The others follow suit fairly quickly. Marmalade later reveals he has the same tingle the gang feels when doing good, but for evil.

Easily Forgiven: Both downplayed and averted. Mr. Snake doesn't forgive Mr. Wolf for letting their second Dolphin heist attempt fall through, and hearing Marmalade trying to get Wolf to abandon his friends for the "good life" certainly doesn't help; they eventually return to each other's good graces after foiling Marmalade's heist. Wolf ultimately encourages the aversion of this trope when he and the rest of his crew turn themselves in after they thwart Marmalade's plan, saying that even though they didn't steal the Love Crater Meteorite, they did steal a lot of other things. This act of penitence is what allows them to finally be accepted by society, along with being released after a year in prison for good behavior.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good
 The Bad Guys / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Justified for the Bad Guys. They are so used to committing crimes due to the prejudice against them that the very concept of doing a good deed, just because, is foreign to them. They pretend to be do-gooders at first, but it slowly becomes more legitimate during their second attempt to steal the Golden Dolphin. Professor Marmalade is only philanthropic to make himself too innocent to ever be seen as a criminal, and gets the same sort of tingle the Bad Guys get from being good by being bad. When Snake supposedly betrays the team, he never for a minute thinks about the possibility Snake could be lying to him, which leads to his downfall.
