* DracoInLeatherPants: Mandrake gets this treatment.

to:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Mandrake gets this treatment. He's an OmnicidalManiac, planning to eradicate all green from the forest to expand his kingdom, but he's also a TragicVillain, as he [[spoiler:lost his son, Dagda, near the beginning of the movie]], giving him an [[FreudianExcuse understandable reason]] to pursue the MacGuffin that could possibly [[spoiler:bring Dagda back to life]]. Except that Mandrake was already planning to kill the wildlife [[spoiler:when Dagda was still alive, the latter being [[OverlordJr just as enthusiastic about it]]]], essentially giving pathos to the leader of an AlwaysChaoticEvil race. Some fans like to ignore that aspect, turning him into a classical AntiVillain.

** Other viewers know that everybody makes mistakes, no matter how big, and see just how remorseful he is in his HeroicBSOD moment. And of course he learns something in the long run; who wouldn't? Especially when he was [[CassandraTruth right all along]], and he wanted to find them to fix his marriage? Notably, when Bomba finds out that MK has seemingly moved out, he's ready to to get rid of his life's work to focus on being a good father and win her back, indicating that he regrets losing her and her mother, and doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.



* HoYay: Jokingly mentioned by MK in regards to Nod and Ronin, but it's obvious she's not the only one who caught it.
** Plus some fans ship Ronin and Professor Bomba (calling them "Forest Dads"), [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight despite a lack of interaction between them]]. Same goes for [[FoeYay Mandrake and Ronin]], though they share scenes together, along with Ronin and Finn. EvenTheGuysWantHim, indeed.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Some viewers consider Professor Bomba to be a terrible parent who place more value on his obsession than on his wife and daughter. Then MK comes to accept that he was right, yet Bomba never learns a moral lesson about his neglectful behavior, making him appear all the more unpleasant.
