Especially in hindsight, given the shot of the Twin Towers covered in flowery vines.

* IdiotPlot: Gnorga banishes Stanley all the way to New York City, without even knowing what Llort meant to suggest, and she banishes Stanley to ''New York City'', far removed from the trolls' domain. On the kids' side, they only get themselves involved because the housekeeper neglected to keep a closer eye on them, so they freely ''walked out of their own apartment without anyone noticing''. Later, Stanley is only discovered to be enjoying his exile because Gnorga just happened to be hearing ''Rosie crying'' out of all the babies who are crying at any given time, and she still goes to end him even though Stanley can no longer threaten her reign over the trolls.

** As [[Blog/UnshavedMouse The Unshaved Mouse]] put it:
--->''You know what? As unpromising as the basic premise of this movie is, it didn’t have to suck. Miyazaki could have worked wonders with the same basic plot. Stanley would be a mute, weird, yet oddly lovable creature, Gnorga would have been a truly terrifying eldritch horror and together they’d represent the duality of nature, the beauty and innocence of the forest versus the terror of nature red in tooth and claw. It didn’t have to be this bad, it really didn’t.''
