| 1 | * BoxOfficeBomb: Production cost: $60 million. Worldwide box office: $24 million. Still, the film must have gained a following, since two DirectToVideo sequels were announced years later. |
| 2 | * CastingGag: In the Latin American Spanish dub, it's not the first time Bodi's voice actor (Manuel Lopez) voiced a [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets dog]]. |
| 3 | * CreatorBacklash: The movie is nowhere to be mentioned on the website of Creator/ReelFXCreativeStudios, the studio who animated the film. |
| 4 | * {{Defictionalization}}: Bodi's hat was given away as a promotional item. |
| 5 | * DuelingMovies: In an AllCGICartoon from 2016, set in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, a musically talented young animal is trying to follow his dreams. Are we talking about Bodi, or one of the several contestants from ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}''? In the end, this trope was averted due to the movies' releases being set too far apart. |
| 6 | * InMemoriam: The film was dedicated to the producer, David B. Miller who died while riding his mountain bike near his Topanga home. |
| 7 | * NonSingingVoice: Bodi is voiced by Luke Wilson, but his singing voice is provided by Adam Friedman. |
| 8 | * TheOtherDarrin: Creator/EddieIzzard is the only cast member to return for the third movie. |
| 9 | * ScrewedByTheNetwork: |
| 10 | ** Huayi Brothers, the producers of this film as well as a theatre chain owner in China, had trouble distributing the film in their own country because of Wanda Cinema Line, a rival movie studio that also owns the most theatres in China. H. Brothers had poached Wanda executive Jerry Le a few months before ''Rock Dog'' came out, so the lack of distribution is generally seen as a retaliatory move that has cost this film a good chunk of box office returns in China. |
| 11 | ** In the United States, the film received very little promotion, except for film posters inside of actual cinemas and some commercials. Ditto in Mexico, not to mention the fact the movie was dubbed in Chile and not in Mexico prevented a massive promotion of the film. |
| 12 | * WriteWhatYouKnow: Zheng Jun, author of the graphic novel on which this film is [[InNameOnly just barely based]], is a rock star in China, so the subject was obviously familiar to him. |
