Daily Dose of Awesome: Disney's Anne Frank

In a video, the Nostalgia Chick briefly discussed how Disney's Pocahontas franchise changed the nature of historical eras in order to be more family friendly.  To illustrate this, she made a joke about a fictitious animated Anne Frank movie that Disney made.

It was a funny gag to be sure, but it didn't end there.  The internet decided that this non-existent movie needed a page on TV Tropes, and it got one.

That's right, the fans decided to have some fun and made up a bunch of tropes for a movie that isn't even real.  They cite specific scenes and bring up characters that the Chick herself never did.  It also had a pretty big cast as Tom Cruise, Madonna, Molly Ringwald, Robin Williams, Frank Oz and Jason Alexander all had roles.  Even Tim Curry had a cameo.  That's not too shabby if I do say so myself.  I probably would've thrown a couple of others like Keith David, Clancy Brown, and David Warner in there for good measure.  That's just me though.

In any case, the page is a fun read.  I know TV Tropes catalogs dang near everything, but I never thought I'd see the day when a page was made for something that doesn't even really exist.  It's rather amusing, I definitely suggest checking the page out if you're looking for a laugh.
