[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/storks_film_poster_2.jpg]][[caption-width-right:250:They’re bringing this baby home.]]

Preceded in theaters by a five-minute short called ''The Master'', a teaser to WAG's ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGONinjagoMovie''.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Pigeon Toady's attempt at destroying the Baby Factory with his drone, complete with slo-motion and heroic lighting, is unceremoniously ended when one of the gears flicks him away, ending up with him being shoved into a delivery container, thrown out of a window and through a helicopter.

* TheForeignSubtitle: The Latin American release is subtitled "La Historia Que No Te Contaron" (Basically "The Untold Story"), though the subtitle itself doesn't appear [[CloseOnTitle at the end]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Despite his best efforts and delusions, the storks collectively seem to view Pigeon Toady as at best an easily ignored irritant, and at worst a borderline lunatic.

* FreezeFrameBonus:
** It goes by quick, but when Toady is showing off his "girlfriend" (which is a picture of a live-action Canada goose) you can see that he actually pulled the picture up in a Google image search.
** In the montage near the end [[spoiler:of new parents with their babies when the storks go back to delivering infants, you can see several inter-racial and same-sex couples, along with a few single parents. There's even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it frame of a single father among the mix of single parents.]]

* MirrorCharacter: Junior is very near the top of the pyramid of the company as a [[TheAce popular male stork]] whose next in line to be boss. Tulips is the unwanted human girl who keeps screwing up at the company. Despite this massive gulf in social status, they both turn to have quite the longing for family, and are pretty decent at being parents.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Diamond Destiny is only shown from the front, making it look like the movie is going to be about a baby boy who turns out to be [[TearJerker non-existent]].

* OrphansOrdeal: Tulip's delivery address was smashed and thus she was never delivered to her parents.

* ProfessionalButtkisser: Junior; while he's skilled at deliveries and popular in his own right, he sucks up pretty hard to Hunter.
-->'''Junior:''' I love a good profits chart.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Tulip's friends at the Cornerstore are all flightless bird employees, seemingly brought together by being outsiders of the stork-dominated company.

* TapOnTheHead: The wolves manage to do this to Junior despite not having flexible front legs.

* AnimatedActors: Supplemental animated interviews made to promote the movie treat the characters like this. Most of the actors are similar to their characters, though the Alpha of wolfpack is apparently also a musician.
* AnthropicPrinciple: The film was clearly written as a simple light-hearted adventure and nothing deeper with regards to the world building. Its best not to think about any logic or implications behind the concept of storks delivering babies from a literal factory to the parents, be it the business model or how the parents in this world react when they see their children for the first time, [[spoiler:including even the case of an 18-year old Tulip]]...
