Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Well, stand-alone sequel to put it techincally, but Loki serves as this to Dorian.City of Adventure: Fringe City, 270 miles southwest of Edge City.Children Raise You: "You made me grow up.".
The Cameo: Ben Stein reprises his role as Prof.Call-Back: The fetus of Alvey was singing Cuban Pete just like the Mask in the original film.Not to mention that they were from two different worlds: Odin from Asgard, Loki from Utgard/Jotunheim.
Alternate Continuity: This movie flat out ignores the cartoon series which was made as a direct follow-up and sequel to the first movie.An Aesop: About the importance of getting along with your family, delivered by Tim.Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: Alvey does this when Tim mentions The Exorcist.But then, he gets a hold of the Mask, which works its usual magic, transforming him into the green-faced cartoony maverick that not only becomes the toast of the company party, but also impregnates his wife without his consent. The plot concerns failed cartoonist Tim Avery ( Jamie Kennedy), who is afraid of conceiving a child with his wife Tonya ( Traylor Howard) because he believes his kid would be ashamed of him and his dead-end job. The violent tone of the comics was toned down in the first film adaptation to suit Carrey's comedy stylings, so fans clamoring for a more loyal adaptation were displeased even more when Son of the Mask reduced the style further, to the point of making it ( supposedly) family-oriented. Son of the Mask is the 2005 sequel to the 1994 Jim Carrey fantasy comedy The Mask, which was itself based on the Dark Horse Comics series of the same name about a magical green mask that gives strange, almost unlimited powers to anybody who wears it, but also causes them to lose all their inhibitions and self-control.
