* SameLanguageDub: To streamline the production, the dialogue for the puppets wasn't recorded on-set. Instead, the puppeteers lip-synced along to a soundtrack of rhythmic beeps that matched the syllables of the dialogue, then voices were dubbed later, largely by different performers than the ones who did the puppetry (for example, Frank Oz puppeteered Robin but Jerry Nelson did his voice, and Jerry Juhl voiced Taminella but Richard Hunt performed her).

* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Thanks to Taminella's spell, Melora can only speak in {{Spoonerism}}s that nobody can understand... except for Taminella and Robin, both of whom immediately get what she's trying to say. In Robin's case, the only thing she says that he fails to understand is when she tells him that the way to break Taminella's curse is to "Bake the hall in the candle of her brain."

* NoOntologicalInertia: Zigzagged. When Taminella’s powers are destroyed, Melora regains her ability to speak properly. Robin, however remains a frog because of the stipulation that a princess has to kiss him first. Luckily, for his help, Melora gives him a SmoochOfVictory.
