* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: When the King sings "A Puzzlement" and the CG statues attack him.

At the end, the poor creature just collapses in exhaustion at his master's feet...and the King doesn't notice.

* FairForItsDay: The Asian characters may seem slightly stereotypical today, but in 1951 (compared with the usual caricatures of Asians of the time), they were decidedly anti-racist. Anna, though shocked that the King has so many wives, is appalled that he's thought of in the West as a barbarian. While the royal court does dress up in Western fashions at one point and try to curry favour with the British envoy, it's made clear that they're doing so because they're worried about Thailand being taken over by a larger power, and they're trying to demonstrate that they ''are'' civilised in the only way that said larger power will understand.

* AmericansHateTingle: The musical is deeply, truly, sincerely hated in Thailand. Seeing how both Mongkut and Chulalongkorn are revered national heroes, that is quite understandable. Every film adaptation has been banned outright in the country.
