* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Dot was finally home and tells her parents about where she had been and what she had been doing. She wants to show her parents the kangaroo, but the kangaroo is gone. Dot wants the kangaroo to come back, but the kangaroo didn't. Willy says to Dot to cheer herself up and reminds her that the kangaroo is going home and her home is the bush where she must have her freedom. Dot couldn't help herself and she still wants the kangaroo to come back, then she began to cry over the kangaroo as she will never see her again. After this scene, the credits roll.
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: Played straight with Dot falling inbetween two trees and stepping on something sharp; averted with the kangaroo successfully getting off the cliff, especially in the book with Dot having her bare legs and feet till they bled and the kangaroo having her mouth bleeding.

* [[Literal Cliff Hanger]]: The kangaroo does this.
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Dot.
* [[Roger Rabbit Effect]]
* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: Dot. In the book, the kangaroo fed Dot some [[Applied Phlebotinum|berries]] which Dot had to keep eating in order to prolong the effects. In the film, she fed her a root and the effect was permenant, but she must not eat anymore of that and the warning is "If you eat too much, you'll know too much."
* [[Thunder Equals Downpour]]: It does this near the ending of the Council of the Animals scene.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Dot is shown to have a fear of snakes and she got encountered by it.
