* AdaptaionalAttractiveness: The book described Boggis Bunce and Bean as incredibly ugly, something Badger agrees with in the film. However, the three honestly aren't too bad looking, even looking rather distinguished. Their meanness, however, is perfectly intact.

* Infodump: Played for laughs with the Whack-Bat scene, in which, upon learning that Kristofferson doesn't exactly know how to play, the otter coach rather rapidly explains the intricacies of Whack-Bat. The following round actually follows the rules he explained, and Kris gets it perfectly on his first try, although it's not too surprising considering he's TheAce.

%%* MoodWhiplash: UpToEleven. A funny moment can can instantly change into a tearjerker. It gets to a point where ''you'' won't even know what mood you're feeling.

* StockCartoonAnimalDepictions: The foxes are red foxes. Mr. Badger is a European badger. Justified, since the film is set in England and there aren't other species of fox or badger there.

* Infodump: Played for laughs with the Whack-Bat scene, in which, upon learning that Ash doesn't know how to play, the otter coach rather rapidly explains the intricacies of Whack-Bat.

%% * BerserkButton: Bean does not like the idea of giving up against a fox.
--> '''Boggis:''' [[spoiler:Well, they could be anywhere by now.]]
--> '''Bunce:''' [[spoiler:They're digging right under our feet.]]
--> '''Boggis:''' [[spoiler:Well, in that sense, we've only made matters worse.]]
--> '''Bunce:''' [[spoiler:We should have stayed out of it.]]

* BerserkButton: Bean does not like the idea of giving up against a fox.

* KnifeNut: Rat carries a switchblade.

** One of the songs is from another animated film with foxy leads, Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood''. There are also nods to that other [[Film/OceansEleven caper movie]] where George Clooney's character gives up his thievery to be with his wife, only to fall back into it and put everyone in danger.

Were nonetheless equally mean!"]]''
