* NeverSayDie: Most [=VeggieTales=] tend to not be too wary about the word "die", but this movie seems a bit more hesitant to say it. While Robert makes his intentions clear through actions, he never out and out says "I'll kill you," instead using "Say goodbye" or variants thereof. And in one scene, when discussing Robert and his plans to kill the royal family, a bartender mentions that the king's children "must be ''gone''." Elliot doesn't get it and thinks she means "on vacation", but Eloise is upset, understanding precisely what "gone" means in this case.

Once they actually get there, they encounter a sea dragon [[spoiler:that is mechanical and easy to shut down]]...and that's about it.

Elliot changes his mind pretty quickly and Sedgewick returns later on.
