- Accidental Aesop: By showing Colargol getting told off for his laziness/incompetence at the beginning, a hint is given to children not to emulate his example and to make an effort in school. However, by having Colargol go off into the world on his own private adventures, another lesson is simultaneously borne out – one can learn a lot from getting in-person experience. Lampshaded when Colargol comes back from his swimming trip that led him to the North Pole, and Teacher Wolf states that in the upcoming school year, he had better be good at geography (at a later point he also has Colargol demonstrate one of his trips on a globe to his class).
- Tear Jerker: Anytime Colargol gets imprisoned (in the circus, when he gets framed in Jollywood and when he and his friends are captured by the evil fairy Carabosse). Also, the separation anxiety that we see between Colargol and his parents during his various journeys.
- Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The dolls and especially their movement are just off, particularly in crowded scenes with lots of commotion going.
