* TheTeam: Between Flint Lockwood and the other characters that venture to the food jungle/Swallow Falls:
** Flint is TheHero and TheLeader as he takes on the leadership role when they get to the island and is the one who rounds up the others to come with him. He, along with Manny, count as TheSmartGuy (of the GadgeteerGenius and ScienceHero variety)
** Earl is TheBigGuy as he is the manliest, tallest, toughest and most muscular of the group and usually the first one get physical.
** Brent and Steve are the PluckyComicRelief characters as they provide a good chunk of the movie's more humorous moments.
** Manny, along with Flint, is TheSmartGuy (of the more calm, level-headed and savvy variety).
** Sam is TheHeart as she is the most supportive one of the group, the one most excited at the thought of them working together and the one who has to remind Flint who his real friends and companions are when [[ManipulativeBastard Chester V tries to trick him into believing other wise]]. She has also shown to be a nurturing caretaker for Berry.

* StorefrontTelevisionDisplay: After losing and humiliating himself at the Vesting Ceremony, Flint walks home and gets the idea to call Sam after seeing one of her weather broadcasts on a TV display. As he leaves a message, the [=TVs=] cut to a breaking news bulletin of Flint's humiliation at the ceremony, causing him to sigh and walk the rest of the way home.

** And as it also turns out, while holograms might certainly be designed to be devoted to you, they're still only holograms. They can't provide any true emotional closeness or affection, and because they're not tangible, physical objects can still fall straight through them. [[spoiler: This proves to be Chester V's downfall, as while their lack of tangibility makes them impossible for Flint to harm, they also aren't affected by the Birthday Box's physical elements, unlike the real Chester V. And when he finds himself falling into his giant grinder, he tries to save himself with his holograms...only to fall straight through them.]]

* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler: Chester V to Flint. He was pretty much the entire reason Flint became an inventor, only to later turn on him regarding his invention.]]

** Also done with Steven (the monkey) compared to Barb (the organutan). Although justified in that Steve is just a monkey with a [[TranslatorCollar translator]], while Barb actually has a [[UpliftedAnimal human brain, within her orangutan brain]]. [[spoiler: Regardless Barb is actually shown to have feelings for Steve in the after credits scene.]]

** Our heroes' discovery of the foodimals feels ''very'' similar to ''Film/JurassicPark'', and the found footage of the Live-Corp employees being attacked by a cheese-spider looks like an ApocalypticLog from a horror film.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: The Japanese theme song is [[http://www.kuwo.cn/mv/3970351/ "Tabechaitaino"]] by TEMPURA KIDZ.
