!!''Runaway Rocketboy'' contains examples of:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Jimmy is a middle schooler instead of an elementary schooler. The voices for most characters are different and various design changes exist (most noticeably Jimmy's shirt and Carl's design).
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference:
** Jimmy wore a red-and-white striped shirt with jean shorts. In the movie this was changed to a red shirt with an atom design, and the final show gave Jimmy long-cut pants.
** Hugh wore a blazer instead of a sweater-vest.
** Judy's hair is a slightly darker shade of brown.
** Carl's face is drawn differently. He looks more like his father.
* LateForSchool: In the intro, Jimmy misses the bus by seconds. He ends up using a JetPack to fly to school instead.
* MythologyGag: The man driving the car that Jimmy nearly crashes into is an early version of Hugh. He's from the 1995 short ''Johnny Quasar''.
* ParentalBonus: Jimmy catches his parents being a bit frisky, but they try to play it off.
* TheRunaway:
** After his parents ground him for building a rocket and propelling Carl into space, Jimmy ends up running away to show them up. Hugh lets him because he knows he'll just come back home quickly.
** Hugh mentions having runaway when he was slightly older than Jimmy. He only made it a few blocks because he had a PottyFailure and had to change his diaper.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: In the intro, Judy catches her husband bridal style when he falls off a ladder.
* UnnamedParents: Subverted, Judy and Hugh are just referred to as "Mom" and "Dad" in the intro, however Judy clearly calls Hugh by his name at one point.
