Fridge Brilliance
- Ava's original name, Ami, means "friend" in French. Near the end of the series, she would often bring up how she would love to see her beloved friends again, including one scene where she tears up at the mention of them. She never mentions anything about family despite herself being of Royal Blood, so it could be that much of her family aside from her sister, whom both did not get along with each other, are absent, so she thought of her friends as the family she never had.
- Wallace may be a Schnoodle (schnauzer + poodle mix), but aside from his floppy ears and the fact he speaks with a Scottish accent, he’s not far off from looking like a Scottish Terrier.
Fridge Horror
- Does a pet ever consider the consequences of living with a human owner compared to their life in Pocketville? Keep in mind animals in that kingdom live in a civilized society. In the human world, they do not, and have to depend on humans (lest they live the stray life like Wallace) for nearly everything because that society isn't built for them, it's built for humans.
- Whenever a pet from Pocketville gets sent to their human friend, chances are they won't have as much freedom as they did while in their old home, if they end up being an indoor pet. As humans can't understand them despite the pets having just as much intelligence as them in the series, if a pet (with the exception of outdoor ones) wants to venture out to see the world, their owners would think that they ran away and won't know better to return home.
- Ava getting her paw hurt from a branch falling on it is bad enough, but what if she wasn't quick enough? The branch Eva broke off seemed to be pretty large, so if Ava didn't notice, she would've gotten killed from being crushed under the branch, or if she survived, paralyzed. Eva just committed attempted murder. Scratch that, attempted regicide.
- "Oh, I just grazed it." This just adds more to the possibility that Eva was indeed trying to murder her sister.
- Given that chocolate is very toxic to dogs (or better yet, most mammals), Magic notes that the cooking he smelled in the Bear Inn’s kitchen in episode “Food for Thought” smells like it, and he likes it. Does this mean that chocolate is readily available there?
- One could say the same thing for the grapes Zull and Gort ate.
- Where did those sausages and fish Zull and Gort ate in the episode "Good Manners" come from?! It is known that fish and pigs live in the Pocket Kingdom, which the latter's meat is often used for sausages, and fish is pretty self-explanatory. Every animal there has just as much intelligence and sapience as everybody else. Even if they are synthetic meats, the fact they just ate what looks like dead fish and the flesh of another animal is macabre in itself.
- Uh, the Pocket Kingdom's law system (or lack thereof) seems to have some gaping flaws. First off, according to everyone who lives there, all criminals imprisoned are officially pardoned on holidays. Which means that every time there's a holiday, they're just going to let their outlaws run free. Seems like Ava (or whoever makes the laws) is being way too nice here, especially given her sister's unpredictable and compulsive behavior. Not only this, but apparently whenever a challenge is accepted, nobody, not even someone with a high status, can object. Now that's petty.
- One of the Puppy Trotters is a boxer with cropped ears. Cropping is done mostly for cosmetic reasons nowadays (originally it was believed to enhance a dog's hearing), and they are known to be very painful for dogs.
- It could be some sort of archaic beauty standard. Just like foot binding in China, cropped ears were probably one for dogs in the kingdom. Yikes.
- Who knows how the Pocket Kingdom would disappear without the Friendship Ceremonies or how bad it would get with Eva in power…
- Either the kingdom would be thrown into chaos or literally disappear in an Armageddon-level disaster.
- Again, another Fridge Tear Jerker, but the reason why Eva did all those heinous acts could be all for attention instead of spite, even if it’s worth being rejected by society. She was probably overshadowed by Ava that whole time because her sister is a monarch (and, when younger and if their parents were around, Ava being the heir). Talk about a Dark and Troubled Past for her.
- That wouldn’t explain why she said she’s always been evil, but it could be that she’s simply lying. Even Kate said she lies a lot, and not even Ava would lie about her sister either. It seems like the memory Eva brings up in “Operation: Princess” was a fairly recent one, given that they were practically the same age as in the current. Of course, since nobody is truly evil since birth, evil is taught. So by going by this and what both Kate and Ava said (Wallace must’ve been deceived too), she probably was truly broken and had undergone a Sanity Slippage. But how?
