* NonIndicativeName: As pointed out below, no explanation is given for why he's called the Ice Cream Bunny. He's not made of ice cream, nor is he shown handing out or eating ice cream. He drives a firetruck instead of an ice cream truck. The filmmakers seem to have assumed that the Ice Cream Bunny was so well known that, like Santa, he required no introduction. This is apparent when Santa's reaction to seeing him come to the rescue is "The Ice Cream Bunny! Of course!"

* ProductPlacement: For Pirates World theme park. The internal evidence suggests this film was created to double-dip off pre-existing movies previously funded by the park's owners for the kiddie matinée circuit.
** If you sense desperation, it's because Disney opened [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Walt Disney World]] the year before. A year after the film was released, Pirates World was bankrupt. By 1975, the place was closed. Not long after, the park was razed and condos built in its place.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: When Thumbelina is lost in the woods, she starts singing, "Fiddle-dee-dee!" She explains through the song that it's her way to cope with frightening situations, and advises to "give it a try and you’ll agree".

* CartoonCreature: Thumbelina gets accosted by some weird bug-like creatures at one point, and it's never stated what they are supposed to be exactly. Going by the original story, they are probably meant to be stag beetles, except they are wearing swimming trunks for some reason.

* MayDecemberRomance: In the loosest sense of "romance" possible. Mr. Digger convinces Thumbelina that it would be in her best interests to marry him, and she goes along with it for a while. Her main concern is that he's old. The fact that he's a mole doesn't seem to enter into it.
** She does express concern that in marrying him, she'll have to remain underground and never see the sun again.

* ViewersAreMorons: As the Agony Booth review says "Like most other terrible children’s films, the filmmakers seem to think that simply because the movie is for kids, they have to pretend like they’re making it for retards. Every actor speaks as slowly as possible, enunciating every word as if they’re talking to people who don’t speak English. All the characters take longer than George W. Bush to string a sentence together, and [[LargeHam deliver the most obvious emoting you’ll see outside of a Sally Struthers infomercial]]."

* KazoosMeanSilliness: A kazoo rendition of "Jingle Bells" plays briefly at the climax, and the Ice Cream Bunny kinda-sorta dances to it.
