* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: The King seems to have a fondness for blue cheese cake. This might explain why the Mouse Queen, her son, and all the other mice show up to eat the cake — mice love cheese.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: According to Drosselmeyer, the Krakatooth Nut can only be broken by a gentleman who has never worn boots. Hearing this, the King orders that all the noblemen of his realm be summoned to help break the curse on Princess Perilpat, and that they remove their boots before trying to crack the nut. Somehow, it flew over his head that the conditions of the curse clearly state the gentleman in question has to have ''never'' worn boots, not simply the absence of them. [[JustifiedTrope In all fairness]], one can interpret that the King knew it would be hard to find such a person, and is trying to cut corners to better his chances.
