* TeensAreShort: Played straight and averted. In the 1970 film, Phyllis is significantly shorter than Bobbie and her actress was ''twenty'' at the time. However Bobbie is only fifteen (but turns sixteen) and Jenny Agutter is incredibly tall. She's the same height as her mother.

* LosingHorns: A whole scene in the 1970 film is accompanied by a "wah wah" LeitMotif. Perks has to deliver a massive hamper to the Three Chimneys, and has to get through a very narrow stile with great difficulty. He does this by balancing the hamper and his hat on top of the stile, and squeezing underneath.
