* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The Sharptooth seen in the prologue is shown to not be able to swim, when it's been confirmed that theropod dinosaurs were perfectly capable swimmers.
* ChekhovsSkill: The last skill Cera tries to teach Ducky is to scream really loud when she's angry. Towards the end of the film, Cera does it herself which is so loud it gets the Valley residents' attention and clears a path back into the Valley for them.
* CowardlyLion: Mr. Thicknose lampshades this when he is successfully getting away from the Sharptooth while the kids aren't; he berates himself knowing he needs to help them. He still ends up running for his life once he finally gets the Sharptooth's attention, distracting it from the kids.
* ADayInTheLimelight: As the core emotional story of the film revolves around Spike and Ducky, their mother also gets a lot more focus than usual as she also laments the widening gap between her children, and the prospect of Spike wanting to go with his own kind for good.

However, when Grandpa comes to speak with him, he doesn't reprimand him at all, and understands that Littlefoot truly meant no harm. Instead, Grandpa recognizes that Thicknose felt his dignity and pride was being attacked, and it's very precious to him given he has no family, and asks Littlefoot to simply try to be more considerate of Thicknose's feelings.
