* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Big time and the main reason the film was a major BoxOfficeBomb. Most kids won't want to watch a depressing movie that centers around child abuse, and most adults will be turned off by the ridiculous aesop of how it's OK not to tell anyone about an abuser if that person makes someone else happy.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The fact Bobby flies off and never comes back, even after the King is put away for good (the reason Bobby is escaping to begin with), flies around the world in that little wagon for years (he only had money to send postcards and is literally JustAKid) and only contacts Mike, and in his older age Mike reminisces all of this in a semi-whimsical fashion. There is a reason why audiences have asked Donner and the writers whether or not Bobby is dead or a hallucination.
