* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** The theme song is actually pretty catchy, doing a little tribal chant of the leads names but the lyrics and song still giving a very tropical destination feel.
** Mike's epic hopscotch moves in "A Boy's Game", complete with a hip-hop rendition of the show's stock music.
** "Keep On Movin'" from ''Roller Madness''.
%%* Ensemble Darkhorse: Hermione
* GeniusBonus: In "Tea For Three", Mike recognizes the song Queeks is whistling in his sleep as "Tea For Two". Like any kid today would know ''that'' song.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show got better treatment in Australia and Latin America than it did in America (or anywhere else in the world).
* HarsherInHindsight: Albonquetine appears to be inspired by the UsefulNotes/PitcairnIslands, an extremely isolated island community formed by descendants of the British sailors of the ''HMS Bounty'' and their Tahitian captives. In 2004, a full third of the island's male population was accused of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_sexual_assault_trial_of_2004 underage sexual abuse]], something that was apparently endemic to the island's culture. Suddenly seeing all these kids in this show takes a much darker tone...
* JerkassWoobie: Lu could be [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation viewed as this.]] While anyone who says she's a mean-spirited SpoiledBrat, a bad friend to Mike and a mean cousin to Og as well as a terrible pet owner to Lancelot has a valid argument, take into account that for one thing, we never see her [[MissingMom mother]] and that Wendell is a [[PushoverParents Pushover Parent]] who spoils her rotten and is too cowardly to discipline her, it's very likely that had she had any proper parental guidance, she'd probably be a nicer person. Contrast to Og and (presumably) Mike who have clearly been raised in the right way by Alfred and Margery and Mike's unnamed parents.
* MyRealDaddy: It's a debate on which of the three credited creators deserved more credit. Chuck Swenson gets the most recognition, as he created the characters and most of the stories, while Mikhail Aldashin created the designs and atmosphere and Mikhail Shindel headed production on the show.
* NightmareFuel:
** "Opposites Attack". Og is ''driven insane'' by all the demands for his inventions and builds robots to attack everyone. Luckily, he snaps out of it, barely saving Mike from getting ''[[EyeScream drilled in the eye!]]''
** In "Hot Dog", Mike's [[GRatedDrug obsession with hot dogs]] got so out of hand, she started seeing everyone and everything as hotdogs.
** Lu's NightmareSequence from "The Three Amigas".
--->''"No room for yooooou!"''
** Wendel's FreakOut from Queek's potion in "A Bicycle Built For Me".
** The extreme close-up on Mike's face in "A Boy's Game", complete with SlasherSmile.
** Lu being [[AndIMustScream encased in candy mold]] near the end of "Jujubombs".
* {{Shipping}}: Some fans ship Mike/Og [[AgeGapRomance even though Og is 7 and Mike is a few years older than him.]]
* SoOkayItsAverage: Easily the most forgettable of the ''Creator/CartoonCartoons'', but manages to be a fairly watchable show nonetheless. The fact that it's probably the shortest runner of the Cartoon Cartoons has less to do with its own quality and more to do with the fact that it debuted alongside, and was immediately overshadowed by, ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog''.
* {{Squick}}: Let's not forget the time when Og went naked in "Hot Couture" during the fashion show. Everyone applauded, but Mike was seriously grossed out.
-->'''Mike''': [[NonSequiturThud Sister Mary Francis, where are you now? (faints)]]
* TearJerker:
** Mike lamenting her lack of personal companions in "Palm Pet".
--->'''Mike:''' This stinks. Everybody's got a buddy on this island except me. Some exchange student. I could've picked France but ''no'', I had to pick a lost island with six people. [[MoodWhiplash I've never been blown off by a goat before.]]
** "Fathers And Pies", when Alfred and Margery believe Og's been turned into a pie. They then try to act as if nothing's happened to spare "Og's" feelings.
--->'''Margery:''' I made your favorite dessert. ''(realizes what she just said; bursts into tears)''
* ValuesDissonance: Though the island residents are white, the extremely stereotypical depiction of Polynesian cultures, especially the neighboring savage, primitive, animalistic Cuzzlewitz clan, definitely wouldn't fly these days.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: What would you expect, with a girl named Mike?
** Her real name is Michelanne, but nobody ever calls her that. [[BerserkButton And lives.]]
** On the opposite side, WordOfGod revealed Lancelot the turtle to be a girl. The lack of TertiarySexualCharacteristics coupled with the manly name won't help new viewers.
* TheWoobie: Lancelot deserves some sympathy due to the fact that she's often a victim of BlackComedyAnimalCruelty from [[{{Jerkass}} Lu.]]
