* ParentalIssues: Loving but complex father/child relationships are very common in their works such as Miles and Jefferson in ''WesternAnimation/IntoTheSpiderverse'', Tim and Flint in ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'', Rick and Katie in ''WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines'' and [[spoiler: Finn and his dad in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'']],

* CreativeDifferences: They departed during production of ''Film/{{Solo}}'' due to disagreements with producer Kathleen Kennedy and writer Creator/LawrenceKasdan. In fact, both Kennedy and Kasdan felt that their fondness for improv got on a lot of people's nerves with Kasdan even personally coming to the set to berate them for it (leading to an agreement that they would shoot at least one take exactly as written before letting the actors go nuts). Creator/AldenEhrenreich was concerned as well since he felt that his portrayal of Han Solo could end up being a caricature of Film/AceVentura. As a result, Lord and Miller were asked to depart as directors and Creator/RonHoward was brought in to replace them.

** As mentioned above, Lord and Miller were attached to ''Film/{{Solo}}'' for four months before getting removed due to CreativeDifferences (mainly their insistence on the actors improvising many of their lines). Supposedly, the film was going in a much more comedic direction under their helm, which didn't suit the tone producer Creator/KathleenKennedy wanted for it.

Added DiffLines:

* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: They really love just letting the actors go off and do whatever they want. This ended up backfiring on them when they directed ''Solo'', as their allowance for the actors to improvise ultimately led to CreativeDifferences and the duo exiting the project.


Added DiffLines:

* ProductionPosse: Aside from Lord and Miller themselves, the two have collaborated with Creator/WillForte on ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'', ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2'', and ''Series/TheLastManOnEarth''. They even gave him cameos in the first ''[[WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs Cloudy]]'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'', and ''WesternAnimation/AmericaTheMotionPicture''. The latter two films serve as a meta joke to Forte's role on ''Clone High'': he plays UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln in all three.
