* NauseaFuel: It is established that the giants are fairly disgusting creatures, scratching their butts, along with several [[ToiletHumor fart and belching jokes]] sprinkled throughout.

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Jack/Elmont is given the the highly clever name of Elmonterey Jack.



* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: It's based on a fairy tale, so it must be okay for young children, right? Dead wrong. Discretion shots aside, there are some pretty brutal on-screen deaths.
