* AlternativeAesopInterpretation: Make sure everyone is on board with all details of a plan instead of assuming they are. The entire conflict could have been avoided had the CMC gotten on the same page about who they were going to ask to be their chaperone before the day of the fair.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: "Being Big Is All It Takes" is far from subtle, but it makes a good point: Being an adult isn't an excuse to do anything you want, and it doesn't make you automatically right about everything.

* ToughActToFollow: While the episode was generally well-liked, one of the comments that keeps coming up about it is that as a send-off to the CMC, it's not as good as "The Last Crusade". It being originally planned for Season 5 could probably explain the feelings fans had with the episode.

** Pinkie Pie, Zecora, Cheerilee or Scootaloo's aunts were not even considered to be the chaperone for the CMC.
** Furthermore, Mrs. Cake was seen at the fair when Biscuit was entering Bloofy in the contest. The CMC could have asked her to accompany them since they were heading to the same place.

** The story of the wish-granting flower, a flower that not even Starswirl could figure out. Not only that, the positioning of its petals imply that it's has been used three times before. Who could have used them and what wish did it grant? Are there more of these things?
