10	Not to be confused with the show ''WesternAnimation/MyGiantFriend''. Has nothing to do with the trope BigBadFriend.
11	----
12	!!Examples:
13	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: A blue elephant, a pink giraffe, and a green kangaroo. {{Justified\|Trope}} since they are children's {{Imaginary Friend}}s and they created them with those colors.
14	* AnimalGenderBender: Despite Bongo being a male kangaroo, he has a pouch. Justified due to Matt's age, he doesn't know the difference between male and female kangaroos and believes all of them have pouches.
15	* BrattyHalfPint: Lili, sometimes.
16	* ExpressiveEars: Golias's ears act as hands.
17	* GenialGiraffe: Nessa.
18	* GentleGiant: Golias is the biggest and also has a big heart.
19	* HonorableElephant: Golias is a big blue elephant who is friendly to everyone.
20	* {{Keet}}: Bongo is a dorky and hyperactive green kangaroo.
21	* KidsHateVegetables: In "Hippo-licious", Matt is none too pleased when his family has spinach for dinner. Later, he and Bongo are trapped in a forest of spinach, forcing them both to eat their way through. [[IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam To Matt's surprise, it's not as bad as he'd thought it would be.]]
22	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Lili's Masculine Girl to Yuri's Feminine Boy.
23	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: An odd example. The three children can all interact and talk with their big, big friends but other children and adults can't see them.
24	* NeverTrustATitle: In "Holding It In" a lot of viewers assumed it had something to do with urine. Turns out the episode revolves around Yuri trying not to cry.
25	* PottyEmergency: Golias has one in "Diggin A Hole" whilst stuck in a pit.
26	* SugarBowl: The show is very lighthearted and sweet.
27	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Nessa is a pink giraffe with eyelashes and bows on her ossicones.
28	* UnexpectedKindness: In "Over the Rainbow", Ms. Carol gives Matt a letter to give to his parents after he accidentally wrecks a dollhouse. Lili tells him he's probably in trouble, much to his dismay. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that Ms. Carol wrote that Matt's been a "good boy" for helping her fix up the playroom, so Matt is quite relieved.
