Ah, yeah, that does qualify, though I wouldn't say it's neccesarily bad. "Comedy relief" starring the cartoon style secret hijinx of the familiars, though... Foamy the Rat, Kung-Fu Toad and Laser Owl was funny, the first time, but repeats and knockoffs seriously begin to grate. That's more due to breaking the tone (unless the rest is a cartoony crackfic as well) and delaying the plot than the cliche as such for me however.
