* As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Xetj65s3s this video]] points out, the babies produced on Stork Mountain have exotic traits not seen in naturally-conceived children, are designed specifically to the parents' preferences, and are depicted as diabetes-inducingly perfect little bundles of joy. In other words, Stork Mountain is engineering superpowered, inherently superior children who can be ordered by humans all across the globe, which opens a can of ethical worms. And also, their CutenessOverload actually seems less they really are that adorable and more the result of them being "marinated in" pheromones by their delivery pods that mentally force organisms, even wild wolves, to nurture them.

* The wide variety of parents seen receiving babies makes sense when you remember that a baby can still be made in the traditional way; it stands to reason that the bulk of the stork requests would be from parents incapable of making a baby on their own.

* The trailer - which features Hunter advertising Stork delivering babies, while Tulip makes a mess - might serve as a prequel to the whole film itself, as it shows Hunter still believes in delivering babies and could possibly explain why he got tired of doing that, and tired of having Tulip around.

* Why did the machine make Diamond Destiny a girl when Nate specifically requested a baby ''brother''? Well, it's common knowledge that embryos are female by default, and require a Y chromosome to be turned male. Junior pressed the emergency shutoff button before DD was finished forming, so it's possible that the machine didn't have time to give the baby her Y chromosome.

* When Junior finally delivered Diamond Destiny to her family, he receives a vision on how the baby grows up to be fine and successful. Now that seems great and all, but what goes to say if another stork receives a vision that the baby grows up to be a criminal, or growing up in an abusive household? Especially if the baby's family is right in front of them?
** This can be dismissed as an ImagineSpot and not a genuine vision of the future - it's pretty idealised. For one, I'm 50/50 on her actually taking up ballet.
** Maybe the storks get a vision of the best case scenario? Or the storks aren't allowed to leave the baby with parents when their vision shows that they'll be bad for baby? Any interpretation the viewer has, whether a vision or an imagine spot, it's WMG at best.

** It also aids the storks in enabling connections with the babies they gave up, so that they can see them even after their job is done. Considering Jasper didn’t want to let go of his baby because of his attachment, this looks like a reasonable means for the storks to see more of any kids they loved but gave away.

* The Wolf Pack’s ability to shapeshift is played for laughs, however note that as long as they maintain surface contact their shape stays strong. They merged into a bridge, a boat, a submarine and a car with success, but when they became a plane, with nothing to hold onto they fell apart immediately.

* Jasper's reveal halfway through the film about his true intentions does seem a bit odd given how he was framed in story for so long. But at the same time, when you see the scene play out in flashback, it's just possible he wanted to take Tulip without the pod, given that when the beacon broke the first thing he says (and Tulip repeats later on) is "Whoops." He might've lost himself for a bit, but he was sincere in wanting to do his duty, which is what was shown once he caught up with Junior and Tulip.

* Diamond Destiny has a lot of anime tropes to her appearance. Well, if you were a kid Nate's age, and imagined a ninja warrior, how often would you come up with something like what Diamond Destiny looks like when she's older?

* A few people have pointed out that, given the CutenessProximity of babies, why did it not work in Stork Con when they were caught on the screens? Actually, [[Anime/CodeGeass Lelouch's Geass power]] gives a plausible explanation that lines up with what's shown - direct eye contact must be made. The storks at Stork Con all saw Diamond Destiny through video screen, which is ''in''direct, ergo it weakens the ability of CutenessProximity. When the storks saw all the other babies later on, they were all mezzed by it, so much that they had to be snapped out of it.

* The presence of non-storks like Pigeon Toady or Tulip's friends seem strange but there are a couple of good reasons of why Cornerstore has non-stork employees. The first is that transitioning from baby delivery to package delivery probably opened up a lot of logistic jobs that don't involve delivery, so expanding the work force helps make them more efficient. The 2nd is that Cornerstore is obviously a modern company, and there's no way they could get away with the same species homogeneous work force once they basically became amazon without being sued to death.

* Why didn't Hunter just ''demolish the original Stork Mountain baby machine'' if he intended to change their business? He's a capable, if corrupt, executive. Wouldn't that prevent anyone from reactivating the machine by mistake again? This makes sense until one realizes... this decision of Hunter is very believable. Executives usually find the easiest way to shift their business model to the point where they don't bother getting rid of their older equipment, or they just push it out of the way to another landfill. Sometimes they're so focused on their new model that they forget to do anything with the old ones. You could also look at it like building leases. Nearly every building that isn't new is now used for something different than what it was designed and built for.
