** Mr Nezzer is once again peddling his chocolate bunnies (as part of the attractions in Easterland).
** Cavis and Millward refer to their escapades resulting in Mr Nezzer's theater burning down. It's even the reason they're working for him.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to most other Veggie Tales stories. While the veggies have been in mortal peril before, their mortality isn't usually dwelt on. This film ''opens'' with Mr Nezzer visiting his grandmother's grave, and Junior Asparagus's character dies over the course of the story. Similarly, the grief Mr Nezzer feels over having lost his grandmother is gone into in-depth, and the Gilberts have fairly realistic reactions to the knowledge that their child is terminally ill.

* ItsAWonderfulPlot: Towards the end, Hope shows Ebenezer what would happen if he tries to remove the true meaning of Easter. This includes orphans being left out on the street, policemen and firemen lacking the confidence to help others, and [[spoiler:Edmund dying from a illness]]. Thankfully, this is all a dream, and the main character is able to set things right.

** Cavis once more insists that he and Millward aren't "stealing" the plans for Easter Land. They're just "borrowing" the plans, just like they "borrowed" the Star of Christmas.

** On the plus side, this makes the ending that much sweeter, and really helps drive home the message of hope. Considering the occasion being celebrated is basically [[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} the lynchpin of an entire religion]], [[TropesAreTools the added weight is very much warranted.]]
