** Halfway through the movie, a strange-looking fourth crew member suddenly appears, then disappears just as quickly.
*** Then at the end of the movie, he appears again, and then disappears again. Meaning it was [[DoubleSubversion subverted twice]].
** The {{obviously evil}}-looking [[EvilChancellor advisor to the King]] looks like he will be a villain, but after Columbus sets sail we never see him again.
*** [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic "He was a, how you say, total waste of the animation!"]]

* BloodKnight: While it’s overshadowed by his usual [[SmugSnake overconfidence]], Columbus’ audacity in challenging The Swarm Lord causes the latter to admit this is the most he’s had in ages until he’s realizes he’s’ been tricked.

* DerangedAnimation: And how. The film constantly seems to flip between decent quality, Disney-esque animation, and at other times being much rougher; almost reminiscent of a cheap Saturday morning cartoon.
* DisneyAcidSequence: Pico and Columbus's dream sequences.

* DerangedAnimation: And how. The film constantly seems to flip between decent quality, Disney-esque animation, and at other times being much rougher; almost reminiscent of a cheap Saturday morning cartoon. The content of the film itself contains a BigBad that’s [[PerpetuallyProtean constantly form-altering swarm with a singular conscious that can’t stay in one form for more than a few seconds at time]], Columbus’ vivid Freudian dream of him summoning a telescope from a suggestive area while escaping the King in the form of a purple horned monster, and the “The Life of the Sea” that depicts the sailors as Vikings, Romans, and sailors that get eaten by a sea monsters illustrated by Columbus’ lyrics. And Columbus [[WingDingEyes gaining interchanging red and white spirals to showcase his avarice based madness]].
* DisneyAcidSequence: Pico and Columbus's dream sequences.sequences and Columbus’ [[FantasySequence very surreal and vivid descriptions of various sailors throughout history in distinct styles]] during his song “The Life of the Sea”.



* PerpetuallyProtean: The Swarm Lord. Due to being a swarm with a singular consciousness, he’s in a different form every few seconds, some comprehensible such as a snake, bee, bull, dragon, sword, demon, or winged wizard while some are best described as a spiky tower with eyes that spontaneously grows a large mouth when needed.



* SmugSnake: The Swarm Lord.

to:

* SmugSnake: The Swarm Lord. As big and imposing as he appears, he immediately assumes that Pico is dead after his attack on the ship, being flabbergasted at his survivor and the attack on his castle causes him to undergo a VillainousBreakdown.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousBreakdown: Over the course of the finale, the Swarm Lord gets more and more frustrated as the heroes destroy his castle and Marilyn being rescued. This is visually conveyed as the previously blank-eyed and reserved design gradually shows expressions of doubt and anger before gaining visible pupils and at one point, his yellow eyes turn red.


Added DiffLines:

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The Swarm due to being a shifting swarm, alters his form between scenes, going from a winged wizard, a spiky tower with two eyes that generates a wide mouth, a snake, a spider, a bee, a demon, a sword, a bull, and finally, a dragon.

** The English VHS and DVD covers describe Marilyn as a firefly. But apart from her antennae and her butterfly wings, she doesn't look like any kind of insect, but like a [[FairySexy sexy humanoid fairy.]] She doesn't call herself a firefly either, but introduces herself as "Princess of the Kingdom of Moon Sprites."

* InformedSpecies: Pico looks next-to nothing like a woodworm, and is more of a CartoonCreature that looks far closer to a brown snowman in a sleeveless jacket. Discussed:

Added DiffLines:

* DependingOnTheArtist: Animation errors are a relatively frequent occurrence throughout the film, presumably due to fluctuations in budget and animator ability. The majority of the scenes set within Ferdinand and Isabella's palace in particular suffer from inconsistent character construction unfortunately accentuated further by imprecise timing.
