* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Was Mr. Snake's strongly adverse reaction to finding out about Wolf's planned HellFaceTurn really because he felt that Wolf was selling out on the gang? Or was it because [[spoiler: Snake himself had been planning to do the same thing with Marmalade and was envious that Wolf beat him to it, meaning he'd get the credit for being the first of the gang to reform before Snake did?]]

* MagnificentBastard: Really, being a crime movie, the entire cast could be labelled as this and it helps with all of them being likable. However, these ones stand out significantly.

* WinBackTheCrowd: Most [=DreamWorks=] fans were disappointed with the studio's [[WesternAnimation/SpiritUntamed subpar]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBossBabyFamilyBusiness output]] last year, only to be blown away by this film's endearing and well-developed characters, [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome stunning animation]], and witty (if not entirely original) writing. It's a critical darling as well, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating and Metascore of 88% and 64, respectively.

** The first Italian trailer was met with skepticism because of the dubbing for Mr. Wolf and Diane, which featured two actors with no prior experience in the field and was perceived as amateurish. However, the response to the film has been positive and the dubbing, despite some GratuitousEnglish, has been revalued.

I added a bit of a description to the Magnificent Bastard trope since I feel that nearly every character in the movie is one. I even add one Alternative Character Interpretation trope for Diane since me and my friend aren't sure if Diane sees the Bad Guys like a true family or not.


** [[spoiler:After the PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure with the Bad Guys, does Diane understand that Wolf didn't opened up to his friends about being good and thus feel bad that he seemingly betrayed them, or thinks that it is good for him to 'cut ties' with his friends to join the good life like what Marmalade told Wolf before? While Diane does assures Wolf that his friends are real friends if they support his decision, it is ambiguous on her personal belief if she thinks the Bad Guys are TrueCompanions or [[TheLoad hold Wolf down]] like what Snake fears.]]

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Chief Luggins, a CanonForeigner police chief made to be the gang's first antagonist in the film, quickly became popular thanks to her chaotic animation, funny moments, and Creator/AlexBorstein's [[LargeHam over-the-top]] voice acting.



** Ms. Tarantula, aka. Webs, and Diane Foxington have some hints of subtext between them. Webs admits that she voted for Foxington, gives a ''very'' excited "Uh, yes?!?!" to Diane asking her to a girltrip ([[spoiler:riding a motorbike and hacking a bunch of cars]]), and, upon being asked where she learned to hack, does an obvious attempt at waving it off and acting cool, before admitting that it was mostly youtube.

** [[GentlemanThief Mr. Wolf]], leader of the Bad Guys, exploits society’s negative reputation of him and his friends to commit heists. A dedicated planner who masterminds the heists, while making sure they’re as frantic as possible in order to make them more fun, when the plan to steal the Golden Dolphin lands him and his friends in jail, Wolf makes a deal with Professor Marmalade to become good in order to gain society’s trust before resuming his gang’s thefts. Growing to enjoy being good despite his friends’ wishes, upon being betrayed and framed by [[spoiler:Marmalade]] for stealing a prized meteorite, Wolf writes up notes for Diane Foxington to steal everything in his base [[spoiler:save for one push-pop, knowing that it will get the cynical Mr. Snake to [[HeelFaceTurn turn good]] and help him defeat Marmalade.]] Saving his friends from death, while also ensuring Diane’s past as [[spoiler:the Crimson Paw]] remains a secret, Wolf turns himself and his friends in afterwards, having successfully reformed as good guys.
** [[TheLancer Mr. Snake]], Wolf’s best friend and expert safe cracker, is a selfish [[TheCynic cynic]] who eventually shows how cunning he can really be. [[spoiler:Pretending to betray his friends and work for Professor Marmalade in his plan to mind control guinea pigs into stealing $1 billion worth of charity money, Snake gets Marmalade to hand him his mind control helmet, using it to quickly control the guinea pigs into swapping the stolen meteorite with Marmalade’s lamp replica, later having it explode inside the professor’s mansion and getting him convicted of theft.]]
