Hmm. The nice guy meets the nice girl cliche. And the transformation thing ( from human- animal- magical creature) doesn't get old. All the rest are just "eh" to me.

- True companions (a group of 老友记 who stick together no matter what)
- Those two guys (a pair of side characters, often comic relief, who are 更多 interesting than the lead - think Miguel and Tulio, who are deliberately this trope cast as leads)
- The smart animal who doesn't freaking talk (Altivo, Sven; it's a nice subversion but still common enough to be a cliche)
- Celebrity voice acting
- Characters bursting into song
- Sibling angst

Guy saves his lady love... if done well and isn't just done to puff him up to the audience. I find that it rarely is though.

So many of my 收藏夹 have already been listed, but I'll try 列表 some I like that haven't been mentioned. (Note-some of these were probably mentioned and I just didn't see them.)
-Confession before a death
-Rain during sad moments
-Love/Hate friendships
-Ending scene with dramatic 音乐 and zoom out
-Character 给 a time to finish a task/mission
-Characters who grow stronger throughout the movie
-Color 或者 动画片 style changes to 显示 a dream/illusion
-Use of 火, 消防 in action/dramatic scenes
-Flashbacks/voice-overs from earlier on
-Human-machine/alien/ghost relationships
-Sneaking around in a restricted area, then hiding when someone enters
-Sleepwalking scenes

I could go on and on, but I'll stop here...for now.

no particular order:
- protagonist's spirit being raised 由 inspirational scpeech.
- corrupted, self-hating, remorseful character dying heroically.
- the last of one's kind.
- "that was me" twist. 或者 a variation: prequel character( usually minor), who is seemingly unrelated to original story, turnes out to be its iconic character in disguise 或者 in younger years( for example, even as a baby) 或者 very familiar to the audience in some other way.
- Affably Evil. Antagonistic character without sadistic streak, who does evil things out of obsession 或者 fatal flaw, can do good things until it costs him something and don't do bad things just because it makes audience hate them.
- "I am Spartacus!"( character sacrifices himself to save other person 由 imposting that person)
- good-looking villains
- badass traditionally feminine characters of any gender
- the 标题 of the work refers to the McGuffin, story's message, recurring words, character's nickname 或者 is a metaphor.
- the cry of single woman that is supposed to symboly the mass murderer 或者 destruction( not a 粉丝 of Yocheved 或者 her song as particular example though)
- siblings relationship playing a signficant role
- female character not wanting a handsome rich jerk and refusing to live in "golden cage"
