These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Richie Rich
Alternate Character Interpretation: In the 1994 movie, Ferguson probably feels unappreciated with his service, as shown when Cadbury threatens him for the way he grabbed Richie. Hence why Ferguson is willing to serve Van Dough.
Canon Sue: Richie is filthy rich, he has all the best people working for him, and he's incredibly nice.
Epileptic Trees: Bart and Lisa Simpson postulate that Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich, based on their similar appearances; Lisa thinks Richie committed suicide when he realized how hollow the pursuit of money is.
Family Unfriendly Violence: For a family movie, having Van Dough shoot a 12-year-old multiple times in the chest was pretty intense - even if he was wearing a Bullet Proof Vest.
Robo Ship: Irona seems awfully attached to Richie.
Tear Jerker: From the movie when Richie hears that his parents plane has gone down. He uses the 'Dad Link' to try and find his father. Nothing. He tries it again with boosted power and the computer eventually informs him 'Dad not found'. Over and over again.
Also, when he looks at his window to see his employees leaving, because Van Dough fired them, after Cadbury was arrested.
Uncanny Valley: The 'Dad Link' -from the movie- is basically a computer with a virtual face that resembles Professor Keenbean.
The Woobie: Despite being the "Richest Kid in the World", Richie is unhappy with his life. Mostly because he has no real friends. His classmates in school are always too busy and find Richie odd for wanting to "hang out" like "normal kids". He tried to make friends with regular kids, but at first they tell him he doesn't "belong".
