- Fridge Brilliance: Why does Hunter look a little out of place in season 2? Because he isn't a member of the shoebox zoo!
- Jerkass Woobie: Marnie is like this sometimes.
- Periphery Demographic: While intended for kids, older kids and adults might possibly find this series interesting, and during the fandom's heyday, it particularly did enjoy a periphery demographic.
- Special Effect Failure: This show actually has quite good effects, given its target audience and its budget. However, in spite of this, Toledo freezes a man in place in season 2... and it's obviously a poor green screen effect. Particularly jarring since that trick had been done before in season 1 and looked much more realistic.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: The CG-I is surprisingly good for a kid's show.
- Wangst: Depending on how one feels, Marnie comes off as this in season 2. This may be justified by the book having an effect on her behaviour (She has a Heel Realization) as well as the fact that she's eleven, but even for an eleven year old, she does some very questionable things.
