!!Tropes:

* ArtShift: Done mostly in Pixar 3D style, but 2D is used for the ''Super Team'' show that Sanjay watches. And the fantasy sequence has CelShading.
* BasedOnATrueStory: Starts with a title card announcing it was based on a "mostly" true story.
* CreatorCameo: Ends with still photos of Sanjay Patel and his father.
* NotSoDifferent: It's a blink-and-you'll-miss moment, but when the heroes are trying to [[PowerOfLove peacefully bind the monster with the power of serenity]], pay close attention to Sanjay's face. When the monster reaches for its weapons, there's a slight trace of recognition, like he knows all too well what it's like to disregard something spiritual for something else you want.
