** A moral about hero worship is also seen in the film, which argues that hero worship and idolizing celebrities is not a good idea because it can lead to the things being idolized not as great as previously proclaimed and resulting in the BrokenPedastal. This is exemplified with the town of Stoker turning their love of Tentacular into hate for him when he moves to Slitherpoole and their decision to refurbish their stadium in honor of Rayburn Sr and Jimbo Coyle backfiring when it lands them in debt. There are three problems with the moral though. The first is that the people who are supposed to learn this lesson don't actually learn it as exemplified with the tattoo guy switching his tattoos from Tentacular to Steve. The second is that the film treats Rayburn Senior as a sacred god archetype and in one scene, sunlight reflects on a statue of Jimbo right after it was hurled onto a cliff. The third is that Steve is shown to have issues with his father and does not idolize him like the other people of stoker but the film does not explain why he has such a low opinion of Rayburn Senior even after his death other than a flashback showing Rayburn Senior ridiculing his son for dancing.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'': Gabby Gabby's character arc has this. Her voice box is damaged and she believes the only way to be loved by a kid would be to fix it, convincing Woody to transfer his to her. Initially, her arc seems to send the message "you do not need to fix your disability to be loved" with how the child Gabby was hoping would take her ends up rejecting her despite the voice box. However, this is undermined how a different child who ''does'' end up taking Gabby Gabby only finds her through her voice box bringing attention to her and her voiced messages even end up comforting the little girl. So the Aesop of Gabby Gabby's arc ends up more like "fixing your disability will help you be loved, just not always by the specific people you expect".
