* AccidentalAesop: From "The Solar Eclipse": If you don't study at school, you will grow up to be a complete retard.
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Christopher regularly plays loud music with poorly-thought-out lyrics that keeps Wartlord awake. No wonder he's insane.
** Wartlord and Buffuno had nothing to do with the damage to the ecosystem. Christopher and his friends merely jumped to a conclusion.
** Linda isn't actually alive. The star is just an inanimate object with powers that happens to glow when Christopher plays certain notes. He only thinks it's alive (and imagined the whole "Night Star" musical number) because he's just as obsessed with it as Wartlord is.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The elderly snail, the spider fortune teller, and the rocker bug, just to name a few.
** The "Night Star" sequence.
* {{Narm}}: The "Night Star" sequence, thanks to forced lyrics and the fact that it's a cricket singing a love song to an alien.
* NightmareRetardant: The hawthorns first appear intimidating... until you hear them speak. And they're terrified of the guitar.
* {{Padding}}: The first act, which focuses on finding a magical toucan, is ''loaded'' with padding.
** Wartlord's VillainSong, which is a rap about him getting rich off the star.
* RootingForTheEmpire: Wartlord and Buffuno are by far the most entertaining characters in the film, if only for their resemblance to ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.
* UnintentionalUncannyValley: It's very clear that Linda the Night Star was rotoscoped [[NonStandardCharacterDesign and looked a lot more realistic than everyone else in the film]].
