* FridgeBrilliance: The one song that is not in the movie's soundtrack is Huxley's song: "Make it Mine!" Yes, Huxley is that greedy enough that he won't even share his own song with the soundtrack makers.

*UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Zoe uses Elmo's blanket without asking, after he has gone to the trouble of cheering her up when she couldn't go to the zoo. While Elmo goes too far in declaring she isn't his friend for ripping the blanket, he is faulted for wanting to keep his comfort item to himself. At no point, does the movie seem to think Zoe is in the wrong for not giving Elmo back his blanket when he asks.

* BrokenAesop: Elmo has a blanket, and an argument over whether his friend Zoe should play with it leads to it landing in Grouchland and being stolen by a kleptomaniac hoarder named Huxley. At one point, the Queen of Trash says that Elmo's clinginess over his blanket makes him "sound like Huxley", which ties into the anti-greed moral. However, Elmo's and Huxley's behaviours were fundamentally different -- Huxley was taking other people's belongings and saying they were his, while Elmo's blanket really ''was'' his.

* InformedWrongness: Elmo's attachment to his blanket in this film is presented as him being greedy as well as him refusing to share it with anyone else. However, Elmo's attachment to his blanket comes off less as him being greedy and more as him being a child attached to a security blanket, which is perfectly normal for a child, and not wanting to lose it or have it damaged by someone is also understandable. And Elmo did allow Zoe to hold his blanket for a couple of seconds, but Zoe's refusal to give back something that's not hers and getting into a tug of war over the blanket with Elmo, resulting in Elmo losing it, makes Zoe come off as more of the one being greedy instead of Elmo.

I don't know about you guys, but the portal scene used to give me the creeps when I was a kid.
Added DiffLines:
** While the portal scene does look bright and colorful, it can be pretty scary watching Elmo and his blanket get sucked down different paths. The background music and the bizarre animation of the two portals don't help either.
