* InformedWrongness: Sipes' protests to Mr. Royce's promotion of Gordy over his daughter after the test shoots, as well as his later objection to the man leaving his company to Gordy in his will. Mr. Sipes may be a scheming and dishonest corporate executive, but he is quite in the right to be saying the public's newfound fixation on Gordy is simply ridiculous, and to protest the very notion of leaving an entire company in the care of a '''pig''' as opposed to the man's own adult daughter.



* SpecialEffectsFailure: While not terrible, the mouthing effects (If any) on Gordy and the other animals don't compare to those seen in ''Babe''.

\n** Henry Royce leaving his entire fortune to Gordy upon his death. It's just the sort of thing to make us wonder if he's as coherent as he presented himself to be up to that point.

Added DiffLines:

* MoralEventHorizon: Dietz and Krugman cross it when they tie Gordy in a sack and attempt to throw him in a dried out riverbed. And then there's Mr. Sipes for ordering them to do so, on top of manipulating Jessica in order to seize her family's enterprise.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Tearjerker}}: Gordy's bittersweet goodbye to his father is definitely this; and then he comes home to find out that ''the rest of his family was taken away''.
** The death of Henry Royce, which is so sudden and unexpected that the audience is sure to be caught off guard. Hanky takes the news about as well as any young child would.
** "I Made a Promise" is more than enough to make anyone a tad emotional all by itself, even though Gordy has prevailed in finding his family.

** Admit it, you got a little misty-eyed listening to "I Made a Promise to Myself" as the close of the film.

* AngstWhatAngst: Played with; Gordy is determined to find his family before the worst can happen to them.......But that still isn't enough to stop him from becoming a national hero and then [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext becoming the head of a major multi-million dollar corporation along the way]].

** Or the fact that the camera crew somehow ''completely'' misses the fact that a wide-angle lens had been used to film Jessica with less than desirable results and that nobody called this into question until ''after'' the public had gazed upon her and Gordy's test shoots, propelling Gordy into one of the top jobs at the corporation.


Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Henry Royce certainly comes across as this; While he may be a CoolOldGuy, he is shockingly unfazed by his daughter's public humiliation when the test shoots don't turn out as hoped, announcing Gordy's victory even as she's crying her eyes out right in front of him. Perhaps the most egregious case however comes after he suddenly dies of a heart attack, leaving his entire company not to his own daughter or any living relative, ''but to Gordy as his named successor''. Villainous as he may be, Mr. Sipes' disbelief at this is perfectly reasonable.

* IdiotPlot: A lot of the plot surrounding

to:

* IdiotPlot: A lot of the plot surrounding the ability of the humans being able to talk to Gordy relies on this, but even more egregious is the entire scenario that the nation's adoration of one pig is enough to propel him as the CEO of a major American corporation, and that the slaughterhouse processing Gordy's family would wait just long enough for Gordy and his new friends to come to their rescue until the most convenient timing imaginable.

* WhatAnIdiot: Not just Mr. Sipes for not simply thinking to kill Gordy earlier, but also his two henchmen Dietz and Krugman for making up the story that they were forced to snatch both Gordy and Hanky when the two manage to elude them before either can do anything. They could've simply said they had not caught Gordy yet, but instead suggested that they were forced to harm Hanky, which would've landed everybody in hot water.
** Hanky himself for sitting off the edge of a diving board when he cannot swim.
