* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Chuck's laptop, the Millennium 2000 PMX (referencing the year this film was made) uses Floppy Disks for backing up data from a system crash. Floppies have relatively low storage by today standards. Today's laptops would instead do the same thing with smaller devices with higher storage such as [[UsefulNotes/UniversalSerialBus USB]] storage & [[Platform/SDCard MicroSD Cards]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Despite receiving a U rating (or a G rating in the United States), the film contains some FamilyUnfriendlyViolence. For example, a shark character eats sapient fish, which is PlayedForLaughs; [[spoiler:a crab injures Fly to the point of blood]]; and [[spoiler:Joe dies by getting a DeathByIrony when he drowns after turning into a human]]. This can be partially chalked up to ValuesDissonance, where Danish values for a kid’s film are lower.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: While Joe's death may be a bit disturbing, the fact that he [[HoistByHisOwnPetard brought it onto himself]] [[DidntThinkThisThrough by a trick]], his sudden gasp when he finally goes, and Fly's expression when it happens makes it a ''little'' bit funny, at the least.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why is the shark so dumb? He's a lot bigger than the other fish, so he'd probably need a larger dose to get the same boost to his intelligence.
* FridgeLogic:
** How does [=MacKrill=] know there's a time limit on using the antidote?
*** It's possible he's [[FridgeHorror tested it out on someone before]].
** That small bottle of antidote sure managed to go a long way and it was already leaking for a bit before Joe found it.

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: Stella's moral is basically how you can't get everything you want. However, she ends up getting ''what'' she wants at the end: Which is to be able to keep Sasha. While some view it as a BrokenAesop since she ''does'' get what she wants, it can be interpreted more as "You can get a better thing by waiting"
