The Raccoons (1985–1991) was a Canadian animated series about a trio of, well, raccoons, living in a "Raccoondominium" in the Evergreen Forest: young married couple Ralph and Melissa, and their flighty, enthusiastic, but lovable housemate Bert. In the earlier seasons, the Raccoons were always getting entangled in the schemes of conniving industrialist aardvark Cyril Sneer, which usually involved trying to take over or destroy the Evergreen Forest for one reason or another. Their escapades were aided by two friendly sheepdogs, Schaeffer and Broo, as well as Cyril's nebbishy son Cedric, and Cedric's girlfriend Sophia Tutu, as well as a trio of very incompetent Pigs. A handful of very early episodes featured a side story involving human forest ranger Dan and his kids Julie and Tommy, but they were phased out by the end of the first season. They were replaced by Ralph and Melissa's nephew, Bentley and his teenage sister, Lisa.Unlike many other cartoons of its time, it handled action, humor, and romance in a fairly sophisticated manner, while remaining sufficiently uncomplicated for younger viewers, making it a favorite of many Canadian children (and adults) during its time on air, and one that is seen as still holding up today as a classic piece of truly Canadian animated programming. Before the series proper there were four specials which were released from 1980 to 1984: The Christmas Raccoons (which introduced the Raccoons, Ranger Dan and his family, and the Sneers), The Raccoons On Ice (which added Sophia, Snag and the Bears), The Raccoons And The Lost Star (an interesting Recycled In Space concept set either in a dream or a Alternate Universe, which introduced Broo and the Pigs), and The Raccoons: Let's Dance (a clip show featuring songs from the first three specials). The first three aired on TV, and the fourth was Direct to Video. The TV series itself aired on CBC in Canada and Disney Channel in the US.After rumours and early material of a reboot circulated around the internet during the mid-late 2010s, Kevin Gillis and the team behind the show have instead decided to remaster the original series in HD. Starting in late 2022, the remastered series began streaming in both English and French on Crave, and is also airing on Boomerang Canada as of 2023. In addition, the (non-remastered) series is free to watch in its entirety on Run With Us Productions’ official YouTube channel.

In "The Sweet Smell of Success!", Bert agrees to be the official spokesman for Cyril's new cologne "Success" (which smells completely awful) in hopes that he'll become wealthy and famous. If he does, he'll get a lifetime supply of peanut butter. However, when his attempt at the stunt of rescuing a fair "maiden" (A.K.A. one of the pigs dressed as an incredibly ugly woman) and leaping into a hot air balloon with her goes horribly wrong, Cyril completely abandons Bert and leaves him to his fate, figuring that he's shot all the footage he needs for the commercial and that Bert is no longer his concern. Bert and Broo wind up stranded in the balloon when it becomes trapped on a high cliff. Broo wants to help and Bert sends him off to go get help, but it's clear that Cyril will not be coming to his rescue. Night falls and all seems lost for poor Bert as the gondola is about to fall into the cliff below, which will no doubt kill him. Feeling foolish for not having listened to his friends and allowing himself to be suckered into starring in the commercial, he lowly sings "Hang On, Hold On" to himself one last time as he prepares to meet his demise. Just as he's about to fall to his death, however, the rest of the gang shows up. Broo managed to find them and bring them back just in the nick of time and they manage to pull the deflated balloon back up, rescuing Bert from a near-death experience.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 The Raccoons / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Milton Midas is the greediest and nastiest villain on the show, damaging parts of the Evergreen Forest beyond repair, and is the only antagonist in the series to not redeem himself in any way, unlike Cyril and Knox. His appearance turns out to be that of a bald eagle dressed in a red waistcoat, white shirt, and blue tie. In true Canadian fashion, it's a Take That! which somehow manages to be blatantly obvious and sneakily passive-aggressive at the same time.

Stock Femur Bone: In "Science Friction!", the Pigs plant Snag's stash of dog bones in a tar pit for Bert, who'd been hoping to discover actual dinosaur bones in it. Sure enough, Bert finds the dog bones and attempts to assemble a dinosaur skeleton from them. However, he and Cedric are confused due to all of the bones being roughly the same shape and size. After learning the truth, Bert actually does find an actual dinosaur bone amongst all the dog bones.

Read the Fine Print: When Cyril brought some oil refineries in "Read No Evil", and eventually (due to his Character Development), tried to return them. Also notable as all this happened during the credits, meaning that this was one of two times "Run With Us" was talked over after Season 2 of the series rearranged it.

Comic-Book Time
 The Raccoons / int_1989b0c
comment
Comic-Book Time: None of the characters ever seemed to age. Bert always stayed in his twenties and Bentley, Ralph and Melissa's nephew, was always a kid. Cyril Sneer seemed to remain middle-aged, Lady Baden-Baden the Gossipy Hen (a literal hen) seemed to be perpetually in her fifties or sixties; in general, although Character Development happened and the show didn't seem Frozen in Time, the characters' ageing definitely was frozen in time for most of the series run! A Floating Timeline, a la The Simpsons is probably the only way to explain this.

Unwinnable by Design: To boost sales of his flagging potato chips, Cyril Sneer introduces a collect-the-pieces-style contest. To keep the contest running for as long as possible, and to avoid paying the prize, the only copy of the last piece was locked up. The contest is only won by Bert when the pigs lose the winning piece.

The Main Characters Do Everything
 The Raccoons / int_1c9537cd
comment
The Main Characters Do Everything: Well, they're not the main characters, but the Pigs and the bears seem to be Cyril's only employees (although the specials did show a few unnamed aardvarks working for Cyril, they were quickly phased out). The Pigs seems to be all over the place, whether it be assisting Cyril with office work, spying on the Raccoons, or working at whatever business of Cyril's that is being featured in any given episode. Meanwhile, the bears not only take care of upkeep around the mansion, but they seem to work at every factory of Cyril's as well, among other things. Granted there could be many bears out there. While Cedric may or may not be employed by Cyril, he does tend to get roped into a number of his father's schemes. Taken to an extreme in "The Wrong Stuff!", where Cedric, the Pigs and the bears are shown to be running Cyril's rocket launch site all on their own.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: The characters did this once in a while, with Cyril Sneer being the biggest offender.

Deal with the Devil
 The Raccoons / int_1fc8335e
comment
Deal with the Devil: In The Raccoons on Ice, Cyril offers a bargain: a hockey competition between him and the Raccoons for control of the lake, with one week to practice. Bert, never one to refuse a challenge, eagerly accepts the offer before anyone can stop him. He figures that Cyril surely can't know a whole lot about hockey and that won't be much of a challenge. Alas, they quickly discover that Cyril DOES take the competition seriously; he's got all the best equipment and players at the ready to demolish them and wipe the lake right off the map. In "The Sweet Smell of Success!", Bert agrees to be the official spokesman for Cyril's new cologne "Success" (which smells completely awful) in hopes that he'll become wealthy and famous. If he does, he'll get a lifetime supply of peanut butter. However, when his attempt at the stunt of rescuing a fair "maiden" (A.K.A. one of the pigs dressed as an incredibly ugly woman) and leaping into a hot air balloon with her goes horribly wrong, Cyril completely abandons Bert and leaves him to his fate, figuring that he's shot all the footage he needs for the commercial and that Bert is no longer his concern. Bert and Broo wind up stranded in the balloon when it becomes trapped on a high cliff. Broo wants to help and Bert sends him off to go get help, but it's clear that Cyril will not be coming to his rescue. Night falls and all seems lost for poor Bert as the gondola is about to fall into the cliff below, which will no doubt kill him. Feeling foolish for not having listened to his friends and allowing himself to be suckered into starring in the commercial, he lowly sings "Hang On, Hold On" to himself one last time as he prepares to meet his demise. Just as he's about to fall to his death, however, the rest of the gang shows up. Broo managed to find them and bring them back just in the nick of time and they manage to pull the deflated balloon back up, rescuing Bert from a near-death experience. In "Time Trap!", gets a chance to fix his blunder in "Gold Rush!" Cyril missed his chance to make a deal with Mr. Knox to buy the ink and paper companies and put the Standard out of business thanks to all his clocks being slow as a result of a secret policy he had in place to increase the amount of work his employees put in. Now he has a chance because he's given the extra time he needs. To the gang's horror, Cyril gets the call, and he's going to make the deal, unless Ralph and Melissa agree to sign ownership of the Standard over to him, basically becoming his newest lackeys. Melissa tries to fight, but alas, she and Ralph quickly give up when they realize Cyril's serious. They agree to sign over the Standard's ownership to him. Fortunately, it all turns out to be just a dream.

Furry Confusion: While Schaeffer walked and talked, Broo acted like an ordinary dog. To make matters worse, Broo seemed to be sapient, though he couldn't talk. Some fans posit that it's because he's a puppy, so he can't talk (yet). "The Intruders!" also featured alligators that behaved like non-anthropomorphic alligators, later episodes introduced Mr. Knox, who walked, talked and wore a ten-gallon hat, a bolo tie, and boots. In "Opportunity Knocks!", the Evergreen Standard is delivered to a number of non-anthropomorphic creatures, including fish and insects. For what it's worth, they're all literate. A non-anthropomorphic eagle briefly appeared in "Black Belt Bentley!", in contrast to Milton Midas.

Carnivore Confusion: There's this scene with Cyril Sneer having dinner with what looks to be a feast with roasted chicken or turkey... while we know Lady Baden-Baden is an anthropomorphic hen. Also, all those times with Cyril Sneer calling the Pigs names related to ham, sausages, and bacon, only suggest that he knows that yes, they're pork, they can be eaten and who knows, maybe he has eaten pork already... At the end of "The Chips Are Down!", the Pigs knowingly serve a pie containing imitation bacon potato chips to Cyril. They don't seem to be put off by the idea of the flavor at all. In "Stress Test!", when the Pigs are raiding the ice box, there are pizzas that appear to have pepperoni on them.

Accent Adaptation: In the German dub, not just Nicole, but also her children Lisa and Bentley have French accents. This might have been done to disguise that, in the dub, they have the same voice actress as Melissa.

Vocal Evolution
 The Raccoons / int_2ef005ab
comment
Vocal Evolution: In the series, Schaeffer sounds less gruff and less slow compared to the specials made beforehand. Marvin Goldhar's tenure as Cedric started off as a whiny imitation of his initial voice actor, Fred Little. He also sounded nasally, too, but as the series progressed, his voice got more confident and aggressive and less of what Little had. Pig One had a higher voice in his debut appearance in "The Raccoons and the Lost Star", it had gotten lower when the series started. When Keith Hampshire replaced Nick Nichols in season 5, his voice gained a slight rasp. Melissa's vocal, and character, evolution follows her changes in voice actors. The specials version was quieter and had a touch-of-to-full-blown Southern accent (this is because she was voiced by Rita Coolidge and Dottie West, both country singers, but West's accent was more pronounced than Coolidge's). Linda Feige made the character a bit more assertive in the first season of the series, though her voice was still on the soft side. Susan Roman fully realized the characterization of Melissa as an independent, spunky, assertive female character. 17-year-old Noam Zylberman's tenure as Bentley ended after "Promises Promises" when his voice had hit puberty. In his debut episode, "The Chips Are Down!", Mr. Willow had a Southern accent reminiscent of Colonel Sanders. From "Stealing the Show!" onward, his voice changed to a more grandfatherly tone.

Pit Trap
 The Raccoons / int_2fd985e3
comment
In "Go for Gold!", which features a triathlon, the Pigs dig a Pit Trap for the other racers, but it doesn't work until the Pigs themselves stand on it and fall in. Cyril also uses a motorcycle and a rope at various points to help him gain a lead on the other racers, but Cedric ultimately convinces him to stop for the sake of his deteriorating health. During the bicycle portion near the end, Rod Steel drops tacks onto the track to puncture Lisa's tires and causes her to crash. Rod slows down near the end, only for Bert to surpass him before he can throw down more tacks. Rod grabs Bert by his sweater, but it rips and Bert speeds ahead, winning the race. In this instance, Cyril and the Pigs' cheating was slightly justified, as Rod's father Robin Steel set up the race and barely promoted it, while also duping Cedric into paying a one million dollar prize to the winner. Not only is Rod very muscular and athletic (and probably would have won if he played fairly), but Ralph finds out that he and his father had pulled this stunt elsewhere several times before.

Even Evil Has Standards: Cyril may have been greedy and conniving, especially in the early episodes, but he wasn't completely unreasonable. When he gives Bentley a job at his company, the Pigs sabotage Bentley's work out of jealousy. When Cyril learns the truth, he gives the Pigs a chewing out, lets Bentley know it wasn't his fault he was fired, and allows him to spend time with his friends. More moments like these eventually culminated in Cyril making a Heel–Face Turn.

The Last Of These Is Not Like The Others: During chapter "The Wrong Stuff!", Schaeffer and Ralph are excited for the new Sneer's TV Satellite, which promises to have 300 channels, 40 of them broadcasting sports. So they're shown making plans and schedules to watch sports channels (Schaeffe even bought a giant TV for his cafe), hoping for the hours and hours they'll be able to watch football, baseball, hockey, golf and... synchronized swimming. They even declined an invitation from Melissa and Nicole for it.

Deus ex Machina: At the end of "Gold Rush!", Cyril is about to buy out Mr. Knox's paper and ink factories and consequently force the Evergreen Standard out of business. However, Cyril misses the deadline that Mr. Knox had set for him by mere minutes, thus saving the Standard. We find out that this is because Cyril had deliberately set the mansion's clocks back by five minutes years ago to squeeze more time out of his employees. At no previous point are any discrepancies with the clocks ever hinted at.

"Fawlty Towers" Plot: The main premise of "The Prism of Zenda!". Cyril loses a priceless prism that Mr. Knox had lent to him, so he lies and claims that he had the prism hidden somewhere in his mansion as a publicity stunt. When Knox asks for his prism back, Cyril keeps coming up with more and more excuses to avoid having to tell him the truth. Cyril eventually gives Knox a phony prism, only for the missing prism to be found soon after. Not wanting to tell Mr. Knox that he had given him back a phony, Cyril and the pigs break into Knox's mansion and switch the "real" prism with the phony. However, they get caught, only to learn from Knox that the prism he had lent to Cyril in the first place was a phony, and that Cyril was actually stealing the real prism from him.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 The Raccoons / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: In "The Evergreen Grand Prix", Cyril wants to sell a car design to Mr. Mammoth. He quickly throws out Cedric's prototype for an environmentally-friendly car (the Solar Coaster) in favor of one that guzzles gas (the Sneermobile), believing that it would generate more money. Cedric and his friends build the Solar Coaster anyway, and challenge the Sneermobile to a race before Mr. Mammoth. Although the Sneermobile ultimately wins the race, Mr. Mammoth is more impressed with the Solar Coaster and agrees to manufacture it instead. However, since Mammoth's contract for the Solar Coaster is still with Sneer Industries, Cyril would have gotten the deal anyway, and never had to commission the Sneermobile. In "Spring Fever!", Cyril has to choose between attending Cedric's camp reunion banquet or meeting a tycoon by the name of J.P. Gordon. Cyril chooses to meet J.P. Gordon, but when he feels bad about not attending Cedric's banquet, he changes his mind and joins Cedric on the train at the last minute. However, it turns out J.P. Gordon is also attending the banquet with Cedric. If Cyril knew that beforehand, it wouldn't have been such a tough decision for him. In "Easy Money!", after Bentley accidentally breaks Bert's RC car, he asks Lisa for money to pay it off, and she refuses to give it to him. Bentley decides to use a map he got from a comic book (which turns out to be a scam) to find treasure in the Endless Echo Caverns to pay off his debt, which makes everyone worried he's gone missing. Lisa realizes that if she just gave Bentley the money he needed, he wouldn't have gone on the treasure hunt in the first place.

The heroes bring the true culprit to justice and the pigs are put to work to clean it up as much as they can, but the pond is still ruined and lifeless for generations to come. Subverted in "The Evergreen Grand Prix!". Thanks to foul play Cedric's solar car loses the race to Cyril's gas-guzzler, and everyone is crestfallen... but then Mammoth waves away the outcome and decides to produce Cedric's model anyway. Cyril storms off in a fury... and two minutes later remembers that his company owns both of the cars, and building Cedric's car was what he'd wanted to do in the first place.

Jumping the Shark
 The Raccoons / int_541c0283
comment
Jumping the Shark: Averted with the introduction of Bentley and Lisa Raccoon in seasons 2 and 4 respectively, for a few reasons; They were intended as a replacement for Ranger Dan and his kids (who disappeared after season 1). Bentley was even voiced by Noam Zylberman, who voiced Tommy! They were a driving force behind Cyril's Character Development, and as a result, helped the series grow the beard... ...and they managed to avoid being placed in The Scrappy Heap by having their own character development and depth, cementing the two as fan-favourites.

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: Subverted when Bert runs for Mayor of the Evergreen Forest against Cyril. The pigs don't think Cyril will give them cushy jobs at city hall if he wins the election, so they stuff the ballot boxes for Bert (who knows nothing about their plan and would've won the election fairly). Their plan is that, when Bert gets disqualified and Cyril wins by default, he'll be so grateful he'll give them the city hall jobs. The pigs get Bert disqualified, but when they tell Cyril he exposes the whole thing and demands a new election. Bert decides not to run again, and Lady Baden-Baden wins the second election.

Plot Hole
 The Raccoons / int_6331ba26
comment
Plot Hole: Throughout "Time Trap!", T.O.M. is able to show Cyril certain aspects of past events that he never experienced or knew about, such as the Pigs trying to create more gold. Considering that Cyril dreamt up everything T.O.M. showed him, there's no way that Cyril would've known this (new to him) information in the first place. In "The Chips Are Down!", when Bert collects his first puzzle piece, he exclaims "One down, nine to go!", implying that the puzzle has ten pieces. The puzzle is later shown to consist of twelve pieces. In "The Wrong Stuff!", the Pigs' subplot involves them trying to come up with a special Mother's Day gift, which would place the episode in early May. Meanwhile, Ralph and Schaeffer are excited about all the sports programming they'll be able to watch via Cyril's new satellite. They specifically mention that the baseball playoffs are currently going on, it's the middle of football season, and hockey starts the following week, all of which would presumably place the episode sometime in October.

Cyril doesn't get the hint, and rather than trying to come up with better flavors, he and the Pigs come up with a contest instead.

Cheaters Never Prosper
 The Raccoons / int_72d30083
comment
Cheaters Never Prosper: Happens in all three episodes to feature a race: In "The Evergreen Grand Prix", Cyril's new Sneermobile is racing against Cedric and the Raccoons' Solar Coaster in a competition for a contract from Mr. Mammoth. The Pigs, Bears and even Cyril himself spend much of the race trying to sabotage Bert. In this instance, Cyril does win the race, but Mr. Mammoth is more impressed with the environmentally-conscious Solar Coaster and proposes a contract for it instead. This actually works out for Cyril, as he still collects royalties on the car that Cedric designed. In "Stealing the Show!", Cyril pours oil onto the track that's being used for a skateboard race. Although it was intended to slow down Bert and Mr. Knox's racer, only the bear that was on Cyril's skateboard loses control over it and goes off course. There's also the matter that Cyril's "skateboard" is actually more like a rocket engine with a seat, but this is never called out by anyone. In "Go for Gold!", which features a triathlon, the Pigs dig a Pit Trap for the other racers, but it doesn't work until the Pigs themselves stand on it and fall in. Cyril also uses a motorcycle and a rope at various points to help him gain a lead on the other racers, but Cedric ultimately convinces him to stop for the sake of his deteriorating health. During the bicycle portion near the end, Rod Steel drops tacks onto the track to puncture Lisa's tires and causes her to crash. Rod slows down near the end, only for Bert to surpass him before he can throw down more tacks. Rod grabs Bert by his sweater, but it rips and Bert speeds ahead, winning the race. In this instance, Cyril and the Pigs' cheating was slightly justified, as Rod's father Robin Steel set up the race and barely promoted it, while also duping Cedric into paying a one million dollar prize to the winner. Not only is Rod very muscular and athletic (and probably would have won if he played fairly), but Ralph finds out that he and his father had pulled this stunt elsewhere several times before.

Chaste Toons: Subverted. Bentley and Lisa Raccoon are Ralph's nephew and niece, and make occasional appearances on the show; but Ralph and Melissa are married, Bentley has clearly defined parents: George and Nicole, and his whole family eventually moves to the Evergreen Forest making Bentley a permanent character.

Opening Narration: "This is the Evergreen Forest. Quiet, peaceful, serene... that is, until Bert Raccoon wakes up! Luckily, he has some good friends to help him out. Life would be simple in the forest, except for... Cyril Sneer! And his life would be simple except for... The Raccoons!" Every episode starts with a brief bit of exposition courtesy of the unseen narrator. The only exception to this is "The Raccoons: Let's Dance!".

comment
Animation Bump: The animation in the first season, as well as the pre-series specials, were done at Atkinson-Film Arts; it was a lot more fluid and choppy. The fluidity seemed to lessen beginning with "Opportunity Knocks!", and the animation was becoming more like they would be in later episodes, which would later be handled at Hinton Animation Studios, which replaced Atkinson beginning season 2. Of course, the second season onwards had crisper animation done at Hinton and nothing choppy.

Smelly Skunk: Downplayed in "Strictly by the Book!", where Bert dresses up as a skunk to scare Cedric. In "Join the Club!", a skunk appears in Lisa's fantasy about smoking, no doubt to place emphasis on the odor it produces. The skunk appears suave at first, but eventually transforms into the Grim Reaper.

Large Ham: Cyril Sneer is definitely the master of this, as evidenced by this line from "The Christmas Raccoons": Bert's enthusiastic and probably hyperactive personality is seen as this too. Come to think of it, almost every character played by Len Carlson in this show. Lady Baden-Baden always speaks in a melodramatic tone. It helps that she had a past career as an actress.

comment
Artistic License – Law: Cyril's plot with Mr. Knox to buy out the Evergreen Standard in "Gold Rush!" would be illegal as by law, that would be the crimes of collusion and racketeering. At the end of "The Prism of Zenda!", Cyril and the Pigs are incarcerated on account of breaking and entering and theft when they break into Knox's mansion. Meanwhile, Cedric tells the raccoons that since the whole incident was a big misunderstanding, that his dad and the Pigs would likely be released in a few days once the story cleared up. Except, that's not how jail works. Cyril and the Pigs were caught in the act, and regardless of their intentions, still willingly broke the law. They might get a reduced sentence, but it would likely be longer than "a few days". In "The Evergreen Election!" the Pigs submit several thousand fraudulent ballots in Bert's name to ensure that he'll beat Cyril in the polls. They later confess everything on live TV after their plan backfires, but are never shown to be punished for voter fraud. Realistically, they would have gone to court, and since Bert was not responsible for the Pigs' actions, he would've been reinstated as mayor after a recount of the ballots. If the exact number of fraudulent ballots submitted by the Pigs was not known, resulting in the election being too close to call when allowing for discounting the fake ballots, the election would have been re-run, as happens in the show.

Interspecies Romance

comment
Interspecies Romance: Mr. Knox (an alligator) is married to Lady Baden-Baden (a chicken), and are the most prominent example in this series. In "Courting Disaster!", Cyril (an aardvark) accidentally finds himself on the receiving end of Lady Baden-Baden's affection prior to her relationship with Mr. Knox. However, she ultimately offers to marry Mr. Knox at the end of the episode. In "The Headline Hunter!", several of the single male characters participate in a bachelor auction, where they will take whoever wins them on a date. Schaeffer (a sheepdog) ends up with a female of an indeterminable species (possibly a mink), while Cyril ends up with Barbara LaFrum (a poodle). Downplayed in Cyril's case, as Ms. LaFrum doesn't care about actually dating him; she just wants an excuse to interview him. note This is averted with Bert and Cedric, however. Bert winds up with a young female raccoon, while Cedric is won by Sophia.

By the end of the episode, Cedric reverts back to his old self when he realizes that his father and friends prefer him that way.

Arboreal Abode: A number of buildings are shown to be at least partially contained within hollowed-out trees, including, but not limited to the Raccoondominium, Bentley and Lisa's house and the Blue Spruce Cafe. In "The Christmas Raccoons", the Raccoondominum is contained within the upper branches of an evergreen tree that looks like a completely normal tree from the outside. Said tree is also small enough to fit inside of Ranger Dan's cabin, while also being spacious enough for the Raccoons and all their furniture.

Artistic License – Medicine: In "Stress Test!", Cyril donates blood to a boy named Danny. While it's one thing for two characters to have compatible blood types, the real hurdle here is that they're two entirely different species (Danny is a rabbit). Such a thing could potentially kill a real rabbit. Granted, they're both considered to be "people" within the context of the show, and the differences between species may be more akin to human races.

Ecocidal Antagonist: In the show's earlier years, plenty of Cyril Sneer's plots involved harming the Evergreen Forest in some capacity, such as chopping down trees for lumber profit in "The Christmas Raccoons". However, as he went through Character Development, his plots usually strayed away from environmental damage. In fact, in "The One That Got Away!", he's outraged to see a favorite childhood lake of his polluted with toxic waste and has minor antagonist Milton Midas arrested for encouraging its pollution.

When Cyril comes to save Woodchuck from having to go through with it, the Pigs are forced to perform for the bar's aggressive patrons.

Gotta Have It, Gonna Steal It: In the episode "Stealing the Show!", there is a B-plot involving the Pigs' obsession over Mudman comics. Lloyd, the third pig, can't afford the comics and finally gives into his desire to have them by stealing them from Mr. Willow's store. He ends up getting caught and is punished by having to make restitution in the form of working at the store.

Meaningless Villain Victory: In "The Evergreen Grand Prix", The Sneermobile ends up winning against the Solar Coaster in a race to impress Mr. Mammoth. However, Mr. Mammoth is more interested in developing the environmentally-conscious Solar Coaster and offers a contract for it instead. Cyril still ends up profiting from it, since Cedric is the one who designed the Solar Coaster and he owns the rights to it. In "The Evergreen Election!", After Bert gets disqualified due to receiving too many fraudulent votes, Cyril is declared the winner of the election. However, when the Pigs admit to Cyril that they stuffed the ballot box to try and ensure that Bert would win, Cyril demands that another election be held, which Lady Baden-Baden ends up winning.

Love at First Sight: In the episode "Spring Fever!", Lisa Raccoon, Bentley's older sister and Ralph's niece, makes her first appearance in the show, and Bert falls in love with her instantly. During the whole episode, he's finding the perfect time to confess his feelings, but when he finally does it, she turns him down because they barely know each other. But by the end of the episode, Bert receives a letter from her where she wants him as a friend, which lifts his mood and implies a promise of something better.

Or Was It a Dream?
 The Raccoons / int_ac36578e
comment
Or Was It a Dream?: The specials "The Christmas Raccoons" and "The Raccoons and the Lost Star". Both of them may also be unintentional examples of Mind Screw: At the end of "The Christmas Raccoons", Tommy and Julie wake up thinking that it's Christmas morning, only to find that it's still the day before, and that they presumably dreamed most of the previous events. There is a scene early on where they're going to sleep and the narrator talks about how real dreams can seem when you're having them, which transitions into a song sequence. This might have been a clue that those events weren't real...except that when Julie and Tommy ask what happened to the missing trees, Ranger Dan says that saplings suddenly appeared in their place (the saplings that Cyril Sneer was going to plant), then Julie and Tommy look out the window and see the Raccoons getting a new tree to live in, and the narrator explicitly says that the Raccoons and Schaeffer saved the forest. So the previous 24 hours didn't happen, and at the same time they did happen? The ending of "The Raccoons and the Lost Star" is even more confusing. When Schaeffer meets Sophia on the alien planet, he recognizes her, but she doesn't recognize him. Likewise, Schaeffer also recognizes the Raccoons, who don't know him either. At the end, as Schaeffer is parachuting back to the Evergreen Forest, it transitions into Julie and Tommy waking him up, meaning that the whole thing was a dream. Ranger Dan reveals the surprise he mentioned at the beginning: It's Broo, wearing the star medallion around his neck, and seemingly recognizing Schaeffer. The narrator ends by saying that Schaeffer knew that he would soon see the Raccoons again too. Since the Raccoons do exist on Earth, why would there be any doubt that he'd see them again? Or are we meant to assume that they will be the Raccoons from the alien planet, retaining the memories of the previous events...which were just a dream?

Cold Snap: The first two specials, "The Christmas Raccoons" and "The Raccoons on Ice", are the only episodes that take place during the winter, which is necessary due to their plots. The first one is a Christmas Special, so Dreaming of a White Christmas is in effect. Likewise, "The Raccoons on Ice" features an outdoor ice rink. Beyond that, the two latter specials, as well as every standard episode, seems to take place in either the spring, summer or autumn. The lack of snow-based episodes seems somewhat unusual for a series set in a place called the Evergreen Forest.

Bait-and-Switch Credits
 The Raccoons / int_c76b215e
comment
Bait-and-Switch Credits: Kind of, but possibly unintentional. The opening sequence to the show seems to best fit the tone of the first season, as the narrator implies that the Raccoons and Cyril are enemies. However, as the show progressed, Cyril became less antagonistic, and any conflict that the Raccoons had with him was toned down considerably, yet the credits were never updated to reflect this. Also, the opening showed Sophia, who had little more than a cameo in Season 4, and was completely absent from Season 5.

Clock Discrepancy
 The Raccoons / int_c8f21342
comment
Clock Discrepancy: The first season finale, "Gold Rush!", plays with this trope. Cyril Sneer is planning to shut down the Raccoons' crusading newspaper, The Evergreen Standard, with the help of Mr. Knox. Cyril's plan involved cutting off the supply of ink and paper to the Standard and forcing it out of business. For his plan to work, the deal had to be finalized under a deadline. However, Cyril is contacted by Mr. Knox that the deal is off because he missed the deadline - which saves the newspaper. Cyril is clearly confused as his clock indicates he had time to spare before the deadline. His son Cedric Sneer reminds him that years ago, the clocks were intentionally set back earlier so that he could get more work out of his employees!

Milton Midas, who was introduced in the final episode of Season 4, played this trope straight across the line far more than Cyril's early days (his first full appearance has him attempting to pull a land scam of swampland via Cyril, then via an auction) and was eventually jailed for his outright criminal activities at the end of "The One That Got Away!".

The One Who Wears Shoes: While many characters are barefoot, others utilize footwear, including Sophia, Lisa, Lady Baden-Baden, Mr. Knox and Mr. Willow to name a few. In "Endless Summer!" Bentley buys a pair of running shoes, though he doesn't put them on until the end of the episode and he doesn't wear them in any subsequent episodes.

Hoist by His Own Petard
 The Raccoons / int_d397657d
comment
Hoist by His Own Petard: In "Gold Rush!" Cyril misses an important deadline with Mr. Knox because the clocks in the mansion run five minutes slow. The reason? Cyril set the clocks back intentionally so that he could squeeze five extra minutes out of his employees without having to pay them. In "Black Belt Bentley!", Cyril wants to eliminate Delicious Drinks, a rival beverage company, but details on said company, including its owner, are scarce. When the Pigs discover that Delicious Drinks doesn't own the land its factory is situated upon, Cyril uses a bulldozer to level the building. The Pigs later discover that Cyril himself is the owner of Delicious Drinks, and that an AI software they had installed on a computer had recently bought the company on Cyril's behalf. In "The Evergreen Election!", the Pigs submit several thousand fraudulent ballots in Bert's name to ensure that he'll beat Cyril in the election. When the fraudulent ballots are discovered, Bert is immediately disqualified. However, the Pigs realize that Bert had enough legitimate votes to beat Cyril without their meddling.

In "Moving In!", Bert feels Bentley is having a hard time accepting his family moving to the Evergreen Forest, so he does his best to make him feel welcome. However, it turns out Lisa is having a harder time than Bentley, as she grows depressed over leaving her old life behind, which causes some conflict with her parents.

Evil Desires Innocence: Cyril Sneer starts the series as a Corrupt Corporate Executive who is all about profit over people, though he does have a sense of honor, as I Gave My Word is a very important matter to him. However, his son, Cedric, is innocent, and doesn't share his father's avarice or ambition. Cyril makes it very clear early on that he loves his son dearly, and even undergoes a great deal of Character Development over the course of the show to put his son in charge of his enterprises as an Honest Corporate Executive, with himself as vice-president. He also has been known to abandon his schemes if they would, in any way, hurt his son, be it physically or emotionally.

Flashback with the Other Darrin: In "Time Trap!", Melissa's lines from the first season - originally performed by Linda Feige - were re-dubbed by Susan Roman, presumably in order to match her newly recorded lines for the time travel-based clip show, although her laughing in the "Rumours!" flashback was left undubbed. Averted with Pig One in season 5's "The Evergreen Election!". Because most of the flashbacks were from season 4, Nick Nichols' speaking parts for him were used. (Keith Hampshire was Nichols' successor.)

Somber Backstory Revelation: A few times with Cyril Sneer. In one episode, he reveals to the pigs that he is protecting a statue belonging to a late relative, a Sneer who was charitable and honest, because he respected him, and because he made a promise to look after it. It's one of the earliest indicators that Cyril has some integrity. In one episode, Cyril has a heart to heart conversation with Bentley Raccoon, who was considering running away from home. He all but admits that he, too, ran away from home. And while he became very successful and very rich, he points out to Bentley that there were a lot of hard, lonely years in between that he wouldn't want to repeat, or wish on anyone else.

No Antagonist: A number of episodes lack a proper villain; any conflict that arises is usually due to carelessness or a misunderstanding. While Cyril does qualify as an actual villain in many episodes (particularly in the earlier seasons), there are others in which he doesn't do anything that could be considered immoral, and at worst would come off as a Villainy-Free Villain.

Artistic License – Child Labor Laws: In "Endless Summer!", Bentley is offered a job at Cyril's olive factory, which Cyril faces no legal repercussions for allowing. In Canada, it's illegal for anyone under the age of 14 to be employed. With that said, Cyril realizes it's probably a mistake as he doesn't rehire him after he had already been fired and tells him he should be having fun on his summer vacation instead.

Karmic Jackpot: The nicer Cyril got in the series, the more his luck improved because of his proper moral choices. In "Spring Fever!" from Series 4, Cyril's idol, business magnate J.P. Gordon, is staying with Mr. Knox, and Cyril tries everything he can to get a chance to discuss a possible deal with him, only half paying attention to the fact that Cedric is speaking at a camp reunion and has given him a gift for the occasion. Knox finally sets up a meeting between Cyril and Gordon on the day the latter is due to leave, but the timing means that Cyril cannot attend Cedric's reunion. However, when Cyril discovers that Cedric's gift is a new set of gold cuff links, he decides family is more important than business, tells Knox the meeting is off, and hurries to the train station, just in time to board the train Cedric is taking to his reunion... where he discovers that Gordon, who is leaving on the same train, is sitting next to Cedric and has been so thoroughly charmed by the young aardvark that he is eager to meet the father of whom Cedric speaks so highly. In "Stress Test!" from Series 5, Cyril ends up in hospital suffering from a severe ulcer, leaving the pigs to keep track of a big land deal he is trying to close with Milton Midas. While there, he befriends a young patient named Danny who calms his fears about treatment, having been a hospital regular for some time. When it looks as though an important surgical procedure on Danny may have to be postponed because the hospital does not have a blood transfusion, Cyril, who happens to have the required blood type, bows out of signing the deal with Midas to donate blood to Danny, ensuring the success of his surgery. It transpires that Midas was trying to swindle Cyril into buying worthless swampland which would have wiped millions off his fortune, and the delay results in the fraud being exposed and Cyril's fortune being preserved (apart from the money the pigs blew on a wild party in his absence).

comment
Magic Realism: For the most part, aside from the animals living in trees, the show tends to be fairly down-to-Earth. However... In "Time Trap!" the pigs are shown to have purchased a time machine with a built-in teleporter. Downplayed in that the machine doesn't actually work, Cyril only dreamt that it did. But the pigs were still able to buy the time machine somehow. Was the whole thing just a scam that they fell for, or could the time machine actually work? The world will never know, as the whole concept of time travel is never brought up again. Played straight in "The Prism of Zenda!", where the Cyril and the pigs have access to a remote device that can bend laser beams. In "The Intruders!", Cyril's vault is shown to be guarded by robots that can shoot powerful lasers. Similarly, in "Trouble Shooter!", the mansion gets equipped with surveillance cameras capable of shooting lasers. In "Going It Alone!", Bert uses a piece of bubblegum to float across a gap.

Throughout "Time Trap!", T.O.M. is able to show Cyril certain aspects of past events that he never experienced or knew about, such as the Pigs trying to create more gold. Considering that Cyril dreamt up everything T.O.M. showed him, there's no way that Cyril would've known this (new to him) information in the first place.

One-Steve Limit: The Raccoons themselves are a last-name example. While it's appropriate for Ralph Raccoon and his family to share the same surname, there's also Bert Raccoon, yet he does not appear to be a relative of theirs. Raccoon is probably just a common surname amongst actual raccoons. Two of the Pigs are named Lloyd, while one has the similar-sounding name of Floyd. Downplayed in that their names are rarely spoken, and only amongst themselves. Other characters always refer to them as "(the) Pigs". Although none of them ever met, there's Tommy (Ranger Dan's son), T.O.M.note Time Observation Monitor the time machine from "Time Trap!" and Old Tom the catfish from "The One That Got Away!" There's Ranger Dan, as well as Danny, a young rabbit that Cyril shared a hospital room with in "Stress Test!". There's Sid Leech, an aardvark who tried to pass himself off as Simon Sneer from "Simon Says!", as well as Sid the train engineer from "End of the Line!" Also, Cedric's middle name happens to be Sidney.

Early-Bird Cameo
 The Raccoons / int_f0089082
comment
Early-Bird Cameo: George and Nicole appear briefly in "Trouble Shooter!"; their next appearance is in "Moving In!" two seasons later. While he never shows up in person, a young Simon Sneer briefly appears in a projection slide in "Last Legs!" (albeit, facing away from the camera); the episode "Simon Says!" would elaborate on Simon's past. Woodchuck Berry is mentioned in "The Chips Are Down!"; his appearance is in next season's premiere "Second Chance!" The instrumental version of "Got Me Singing" (performed by Rory Dodd) appeared on "Rumours!", "The Sweet Smell of Success!", and "Power Trip!", before its sung version appeared on "Courting Disaster!".

Smoking Is Not Cool
 The Raccoons / int_f1462f0b
comment
Smoking Is Not Cool: If someone is shown to be a smoker, expect them to be a Jerkass. Examples include Donna from "Join the Club!", Milton Midas, and John Roykirk in "Picture Perfect!". Zig-zagged with Cyril, however. He starts off as an antagonist, and although he gets progressively nicer over the course of the series, in "Join the Club!" he admits to Lisa that he is regretably unable to quit smoking.

Anger Born of Worry: In "The Sky's the Limit!", Ralph challenges Troy Malone to an aircraft race in an attempt to win back the affection of Melissa, but he loses control and crashes his plane (which he survives). Melissa chews him out for attempting such a dangerous stunt when he didn't have to do that to receive her affection. In "Easy Money!", when Lisa finds Bentley in an area of the Endless Echo Caverns filling up with water, she briefly chews him out for going to the caverns alone without telling anyone where he was going, but she quickly gets over it and focuses on rescuing him first.

A Plot in Deed: "Read No Evil!" has Cyril Sneer trying to buy a swamp to drill for oil. The land registry can't find the original deed for the land, so the Pigs put a claim on it, and Cyril will get the land unless the original deed is found in the next four days.

comment
In "The Christmas Raccoons", the Raccoondominum is contained within the upper branches of an evergreen tree that looks like a completely normal tree from the outside. Said tree is also small enough to fit inside of Ranger Dan's cabin, while also being spacious enough for the Raccoons and all their furniture.
