* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A fairly tame example; the tale of a talking piglet setting out into the world to find his family is certainly a harmless enough plot on its own; things get weird though once the talking piglet in question through sheer circumstance [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext finds himself the heir of a massive American corporation]] during said search for his family.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** "Oink, oink, suey, yippe yo ki-yay! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bztQNlOVHs Pig Power in the House]]!"
** The catchy country tune "Your's Heart's on the Line" counts as well.
** Admit it, you got a little misty-eyed listening to "Dream High" and "I Made a Promise" as the close of the film.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At one point a man in a dress with pantyhose over his head is seen stealing a lamp from a thrift store, which distracts two thugs in pursuit of Gordy. At no point is this called back to or explained in any fashion.
** Although not entirely out of place, "Your Heart's On The Line" is little too gratuitous and long to make sense within the story.
** Also the entire musical number "Y'all Come" feels gratuitous and out of place.
* ClicheStorm: Once you move past its unintentionally hilarious plot, it tends to fall into this.
* 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.
* MemeticMutation: Pig Power in the House!
* 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.
* {{Narm}}: The bewildering plot is practically made of this; Possibly crosses into being NarmCharm as the fact that it is being played totally seriously all throughout makes it all the more unintentionally funny.
* NarmCharm: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxVK3VI4cko Pig Power in the House]]" has no right going as hard as it does, but it's all the better for it.
* NightmareFuel:
** “Goodbye, Hero Pig!” Complete with PsychoticSmirk.
** Also any of the scenes set in the stockyards and slaughterhouse with Gordy's family in peril, might make you think twice about eating pork.
* OneSceneWonder: The crossdressing man who robs a thrift store. He's quite an unusual sight, and only appears once.
* SoBadItsGood: According to [[http://www.amazon.com/Gordy-Kristy-Young/product-reviews/B004P7CN0O/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_3?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addThreeStar&showViewpoints=0 a review]], this movie is so dumb it's hilarious.
* SpecialEffectFailure: Unfortunately, the mouthing effects (If any) on Gordy and the other animals don't compare to those seen in ''Film/{{Babe}}''.
* TearJerker:
** Gordy's 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.
* 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. However, perhaps the most egregious 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, who is named as his successor''. Villainous as he may be, Mr. Sipes' disbelief at this is perfectly reasonable.
