* BorrowedCatchphrase: In the short "That's So Interesting - How Do Cheetahs Run So Fast" Ari declares "We need more observations!" saying that it's what Elinor would say.

!!''Elinor Wonders Why'' contains examples of the following tropes:

** In "These Sneezes", Elinor and Ari chasing after a runaway wagon with Olive riding on it after sneezing, is a LighterAndSofter homage to an iconic scene from ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' with [[https://youtu.be/Hq9a0tqJhiY?t=732 Chelsea and Eddie chasing after a runaway desk with Raven helplessly on it]].

* CreativeClosingCredits: The outro showcases different locations of Elinor's world that represents each season of the year(Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall), which includes a shot of Elinor, Ari, and Olive sporting sunglasses.

* DiurnalNocturnalAnimal: Ari is a bat, yet he and his family tend to be awake at day and asleep at night.

** Olive trumpets with her trunk, to show that she's an elephant.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: We don't know where Animal Town is located. Most fans think that it's in California. The map in the online "Elinor's Nature Adventure" game shows that the game takes place on Sandford Lake Trail, which ''is'' in California. Even so, Animal Town doesn't seem to be near a lake, and it does get a lot of snow in winter.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Elinor herself sings every part ''except'' for the title, which is sung several times throughout by a few women.

** The title for "The House That Ants Built" references [[Film/TheHouseThatJackBuilt a horror film from 2018]].
