Added DiffLines:

* MetaOrigin: All the animal characters get superpowers from being exposed to fragments of the same Orange Kryptonite meteor.


Added DiffLines:

** Chip's equivalent in the comics has a green lantern ring [[spoiler:(which he does get by the end of the film)]] but since that wouldn't work with the Orange Kryptonite MetaOrigin, the creators naturally decided to have [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} the rodent character get electricity powers]].


Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: The idea of Orange Kryptonite giving animals superpowers was only used ''once'' prior to this movie, in issue #4 of the ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog'' tie-in comics. Obviously the writers did some digging about these characters' past appearances.

** In the ImagineSpot Krypto has about Superman marrying Lois, there's a SpinningPaper shot about it from a 'nightmare edition' of the Daily Planet, and they actually typed out all the words in it instead of using LoremIpsum, so you can read what Krypto assumes will happen.

** Also absent is Jumpa, Wonder Woman's kangaroo companion, in favor of new character PB. The fact that Jumpa is a somewhat obscure character might have contributed.

** We first find Lois Lane at the tail end of a report, describing how Superman managed to defeat a villain by making them say their name backwards, no doubt referring to Mr. Mxyzptlk and how he is often defeated.

* AnthropomorphicShift: An inversion -- Merton the Turtle is based on Merton [=McSnurtle=]/The Terrific Whatsit from Golden Age comics and ''Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew''. While [=McSnurtle=] is from a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, this Merton is shown in the trailers to be a regular pet-shop turtle. Likewise, Chip is presented as an actual squirrel, rather than the comic book Ch'p, an alien who resembles an anthropomorphic squirrel.
