* ToughActToFollow: Though not universally beloved, it was still well received by critics and popular with fans, two things that can't be said about any of the features Aardman has since made without [=DreamWorks=], save the CultClassic ''WesternAnimation/ArthurChristmas''. Even fans who were happy to see the studio get out from under [[ExecutiveMeddling [=DreamWorks=]' thumb]] have said that none of the films Aardman has made since with its rotating cast of distributors have been anywhere near as memorable those made with [=DreamWorks=], resulting in their declining popularity in America (not helped by rather [[InvisibleAdvertising poor marketing]] on the distributor's part).

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Liam, Rita's brother, is a dirty rotten sellout. [[FridgeLogic Think about it]]. ''He'' pointed out that Roddy was wanted by the Toad, complete with a phone number. Then, ''someone'' phoned Thimblenose Ted. Ted doesn't say who. Just "a tipoff." Who, oh ''who'', could've [[IncrediblyLamePun ratted]] Roddy out? Then again, he ''did'' believe that Roddy was a criminal using them to hide.

* MagnificentBitch: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Rita Malone]] is the captain of the ''Jammy Rodger'' and Roddy's eventual LoveInterest within the movie. Rita has shown herself to have all sorts of tricks up her sleeve, often outsmarting whatever henchmen the Toad sics on her with wit and skill. While she does have a really rocky start with Roddy, having gotten him in trouble with the Toad's henchmen by lying about him being a professional jewel thief and stealing her ruby in order to [[KansasCityShuffle divert the Toad's henchmen]] away from her and hide the real ruby, this nearly getting Roddy's head crushed by a nutcracker Spike had which while not something Rita was explicitly aware of is something she knew was happening right in front of her and doing nothing to stop it as it was happening, and also attempting to leave him to the Toad's henchmen as she escapes, she does end up warming up, starting off by accepting an offer he made to get her another ruby in exchange for her getting him home and winds up developing a romantic bond with him in the process while effectively proving to be a heroic character by saving Roddy and her from the Toad's henchmen and assisting Roddy in saving all of Ratropolis from being drowned by a flood that the Toad summoned in.
