* AnAesop: "Winning isn't everything."

* OnlySaneMan: Mac and Frankie take this role in the film

* {{Main/Reconstruction}}: Wilt’s kindness and need to help others is reconstructed in the film. While Wilt gets constantly gets sidetracked and leads him off course to get to his destination, it also pays off for him, as [[KarmicJackpot the people who he helps reward and help him get back on course.]]

** The two nerds who found Coco and brought her to Fosters' are named Douglas and Adam, after Creator/DouglasAdams.

** Adam's voice is a parody of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Comic Book Guy's]].

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Mac is able to figure out the identity of Wilt’s creator by [[spoiler: looking at photos of Wilt playing basketball and noticing that he always sticks his tongue out when shooting baskets, and as Mac and the rest of the group explain later, only one pro basketball player does that; Jordan Michaels.]]

* FantasticScience: The nerds that discovered Coco study "figmentology"
* HeroicSacrifice: The reason why Wilt has only one arm and a messed up eye? [[spoiler: He pushed Jordan out of the way before Foul Larry crushed him. In the process, his eye was smashed and his arm broken so badly that it needed to be amputated.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: Wilt [[spoiler:and Jordan]] felt this way after losing the game all those years ago. [[spoiler: Wilt thought Jordan was mad at him for losing and left in shame, while Jordan thought Wilt blamed him for being so focused on winning that Wilt was permanently injured.]]

** Wilt challenges Foul Larry to a rematch to prove that he can beat him. [[spoiler: Subverted in that he ultimately still loses.]]

** ''[[Film/SpaceJam Astro Slam]]'' (which was a shoehorned in EarlyBirdCameo promo for the then upcoming, ''Re-Animated'' which lead to ''Series/OutOfJimmysHead'').

''Good Wilt Hunting'' is the first MadeForTVMovie for the series ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'', released at the end of the fourth season. It premiered November 23, 2006.

* {{Main/Reconstruction}}: Wilt’s kindness and need to help others is reconstructed in the film. While Wilt gets constantly gets sidetracked and leads him off course to get to his destination, it also pays for him, as [[KarmicJackpot the people who he helps reward and help him get back on course.]]

It's the annual Five-year Reunion at Foster's, where the imaginary friends get to see their creators again once every five years. While Mac and Bloo meet many of the creators of the friends, they wonder who Wilt's creator was. After asking Wilt a number of questions about his creator, he gets nervous and runs inside. The night of the reunion, Wilt decides to leave the house, and explains to Bloo (who followed him downstairs) that he did something terrible and needs to fix things up. Bloo (who thought that by "somthing terrible" meant that Wilt was a criminal) ended up telling everyone in the house the next morning, with Frankie deciding to try to find him. Coming with Frankie are Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Officer Nina Valerosa (Eduardo's creator), Coco, and Douglas and Adam (Coco's...discoverers).

** Douglas and Adam are basically grown-up versions of [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Mandark and Dexter]].

** Douglas and Adam. You know, Douglas Adams.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never see Foul Larry's creator as an adult, since he's apparently gone separate ways with Larry. Also leaves unanswered questions about his rivalry with Wilt and Jordan.
