* FanonDiscontinuity: Most fans are content to treat this as the GrandFinale and ignore every other episode that aired afterwards. That includes [[BrokenBase "Goodbye to Bloo"]]. The fact is, though, that the movie really was produced after "Goodbye to Bloo", though WordOfGod confirmed that the latter episode was always intended as the finale.
* SpiritualAdaptation: The special can be the closest to a Western version of ''Anime/Pokemon3'', in which a lonely girl enters a land of creativity and wonder and refuses to leave, and the heroes having to go rescue her by entering multiple trials.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A minor one, but it would've been interesting to learn more about World, his creator, and the reason behind his attachment issues.
