* CrazyEnoughToWork: He uses a honeycomb to put inside a giant's helmet to distract him long enough for them to escape. Elmont considered the idea terrible, but not only did it work, but it killed the giant from the fall, causing [[ActuallyPrettyFunny the trio to let out a good laugh]].
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: By the time they descend the beanstalk, Elmont gives Jack a Guardians' badge acknowledging him as one of them.
* InsecureLoveInterest: He and Isabelle gain romantic feelings for each other over the coarse of their adventure, but Jack, being a commoner, doesn't think he's worthy for a princess. He gets over it by the end of the film when he saves the kingdom from the giants.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She wishes to go on her own adventure after the confinement from her ArrangedMarriage. Once she's taken by the beanstalk she kidnapped by the giants and forced to be rescue on the very adventure she longed for.
* ModestRoyalty: She's humble in comparison to her father who tried to make a portrait of himself during his introduction. She even falls for Jack who's a farm boy.

** Once he sees proof that the giants are real, he orders his men to cut down the beanstalk immediately, even if it would condemn his daughter and men in the sky. Given Roderick was planning to invade the kingdom with the giants, he made the right call.
** After the giants arrive and start attacking the kingdom, the king orders Isabelle and Jack to light a beacon at the top of the castle to warn the other kingdoms knowing they won't be able to hold them for long. Had Jack not arrived back with the crown to stop them, they would have died after they breached the gate.
