* HarsherInHindsight: After the Gogans get dunked in the water by Elliot, Lena comically shows [[CatchYourDeathOfCold cold-like symptoms]] and claims to have "p'monia." Creator/JeffConaway, who plays her son Willie, died of drug-related pneumonia in 2011.

* AwesomeMoments:SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: Elliot blasting the Gogans' boat clean out of the water. This is the moment that best shows how powerful he really is.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In another story like this, Elliot might have been upset to see Pete bonding with Nora and Lampie, but he's never anything but happy about it, which makes sense in hindsight since his whole M.O. is protecting and nurturing a child to the point where they no longer need him, then moving on to the next.

Added DiffLines:

* SpecialEffectFailure: The FX are pretty rough throughout, with a lot of obviously fake backgrounds. One glaring issue is that the film was shot with the intention of Elliot being a quadruped before they decided to draw him as bipedal, and it shows, most especially when his shape is outlined by a tarp in the third act.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rx-B9KcIO8 "Candle on the Water"]], a beautiful song of hopeful longing, with Helen Reddy's strong vocals giving it a huge emotional wallop. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apobE501_lA Anneliese van der Pol's version]] takes it UpToEleven.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: This film is usually pointed at when people bring up Disney being out-of-touch with movie audiences of the day, especially following the juggernaut that was ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'', which was released the same year. In Disney's defense, this film (released in November of 1977) would have been at the very least greenlit and filming, if not in the can and finishing animation and special effects, when ''Star Wars'' was released in May.

* WhatAnIdiot: Pete commands Elliott to stay invisible while they pass through Passamaquoddy so he doesn't attract any unwanted attention to himself. When Elliott starts to blow it, Pete immediately starts [[YouHaveToBelieveMe blaming the invisible dragon]] rather than trying to play it off and just keep moving on, guaranteeing that ''he'll'' be the one getting loads of unwanted attention instead.
