* PetTheDog: The beginning of the episode, despite revealing the Dancing Elf to be the main antagonist, is a good example of Swiper being much nicer than he lets on, as he (to him, at least) sees how miserable the elf looks being confined inside a bottle and decides to let him out... ending up trapped inside in the elf's place as a result.

* CunningLikeAFox: Strangely zigzagged with Swiper. The same fox who has tricked Dora and her friends in the past with his near-effective disguises is also easily tricked by the dancing elf and falls into his trap at the beginning.
