* AluminumChristmasTrees: Some examples due to the different pop culture references of the day. However, others such as Titty wanting to be Literature/RobinsonCrusoe or Roger imitating the ''Cutty Sark'' are as immediately recognisable now as they were then.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: ''Coot Club'' is set in the Norfolk Broads with a completely different set of protagonists, sharing only Dick and Dorothea (themselves recent additions to the cast) with the other books. This setting is revisited for ''The Big Six'', and then the unfinished ''Coots in the North'' would have been a crossover.

* CoolOldGuy: Captain Flint a.k.a. Jim Turner, the Amazons' uncle. He lives in a houseboat, is an aspiring author, and is the adult character most closely involved in most of the plots.
** CoolUncle
** DarkerAndEdgier: The 2016 film adds a whole subplot about real Russian spies and a bit of genuine peril to raise the action stakes. [[spoiler: Still, no one is killed or hurt more than bruises in the end.]]
