Susan's aunt, Elizabeth, is less than impressed with his wardrobe choices.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: It's true that, if you want to tally up all the physical mishaps, David comes out slightly ahead. But for the most part, Susan's just as prone to tripping, slipping, ripping her clothing, falling off ladders, and plunging forehead-deep into running water as he is.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: At the very beginning, David says he's sure that the bone he's holding goes in the Brontosaurus's tail. His fiance gives a smile and says "we tried it in the tail last night. [[BiggusDickus It didn't fit]]." This violates at least two different clauses of [[https://productioncode.dhwritings.com/multipleframes_productioncode.php Section II of the Hays Code]].

The colour mutation is black panther. "Panther" just means big cat.


* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Baby in the original short story was a panther[[note]]a colour mutation found in both leopards and jaguars, though Baby is from South America, where jaguars live[[/note]]. In the film, he's a leopard, because there were no trained panthers in Hollywood at the time.

* MisplacedWildlife: Baby is from South America, which is jaguar territory. In the original short story, the cat was referred to as a panther (a colour mutation found in both leopards and jaguars). It was changed to a leopard in the film as there happened to be a trained one available, but its origin wasn't changed in the script.
