* IKnewIt: Ever since Hasbro released a Rainbow Dash toy with a turtle for a pet, fans speculated that it would be Dash's pet here. While Tank is [[RunningGag a tortoise, not a turtle]], he's [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute close enough to count]]. Then again, the animation team and the toy department are completely separate (and the latter has less creative freedom), so it's most likely either a [[HilariousInHindsight coincidence]] or a friendly TakeThat.

I doubt the falcon was intended by the writer to be unsympathetic on the first place.


* UnintentionallySympathetic: The Falcon. Although it's set up as Tank's main rival in the race and looked overly-proud throughout, it's hard not to pity the poor bird after its polite-but-genuinely crushed reaction to being rejected by Rainbow Dash via LoopholeAbuse after [[YankTheDogsChain it thought it had won]].

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While Fluttershy doesn't have one, there '''''are''''' [[http://www.livescience.com/28578-striped-bat-from-south-sudan.html yellow-striped bats]] in the world.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: During parts of the song, certain Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's smiling faces seem a bit off, to the point of being eerily disconcerting to some viewers.
** The "fixed" versions, while slightly improved. From the side, you'd be able to see the pony's lower jaw extending downwards and the smile curving up around her snout, but from the front it's just a smiley face with a mouth curve that changes shape.

* InformedWrongness: Rainbow Dash's initial rejection of the tortoise (what with her wanting a pet that could fly alongside her) is lumped in with her valuing "coolness, awesomeness, and radicalness" above loyalty and companionship. Yet considering that Rainbow spends most of her waking hours flying, a pet that can fly would legitimately be a much better fit for her lifestyle than one that can't. Tank does get his {{Magitek}} propeller at the end, but before he is crowned the winner, there is nothing to suggest that that would be an option.

* NightmareFuel:
** Rainbow Dash's amalgam of the other Mane cast's pets looks so silly and harml--[[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/86839 OH MY CELESTIA!]]
** Rainbow gets her wing stuck under a boulder, without any chance of help arriving any time soon. Similarities to ''[[Film/OneHundredAndTwentySevenHours 127 Hours]]'' have not gone unnoticed. All her friends knew exactly where she went and she was within easy binocular range, so she was probably being a little overdramatic.
** The Quarry Eels. While the scene was played for laughs, Rainbow Dash's lack of consideration for the animals' safety doesn't come off well when the bat nearly gets eaten, and the eagle briefly looks like its head was bitten off, You could argue that this is why only ''those'' animals participated in the race (the tortoise wasn't invited but joined anyway). All the different animals participated in the other contests, so there's no evidence that any sort of elimination was going on. Maybe for the final event Rainbow only included the ones she knew could handle it (hence why the butterfly doesn't join, even though it "won" an event).

* PainfulRhyme: More like ''not a rhyme at all'' - while the song is generally pretty good with its rhymes, one stanza near the very end of the song sticks out like a sore thumb.
-->'''Rainbow Dash''': ''The bat would be awesome, but the wasp I'm digging too\\
D'you have something in a yellow striped bat?''\\
'''Fluttershy:''' ''No,\\
I've got a hot pink flamingo, just dying to meet you!''\\
'''Rainbow Dash''': ''What to do, what to do?''
