• Breakaway Pop Hit: The Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out?", to a certain extent.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: When Chas and Kira get married.
  • Chuckie Chan theme. One of the singers is the late Isaac Hayes.
• Even Better Sequel: One of the main complaints about the first movie was the lack of focus (other than Dil and Tommy's changing relationship) and no real antagonist (Rex Pester was an antagonist but a minor one). This one addresses both by giving the lead to Chuckie and a much more relatable story for both parents and children. As well as making Coco a worthy villain for the film to focus on.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: This film marked Christine Cavanaugh's final performance as Chuckie before her retirement, and seeing how the plot is so focused on him that it's been nicknamed "The Chuckie Movie," it can be seen as a celebratory send-off to his original actress.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Jean-Claude pilots the Robo-Snail mecha against the babies' Reptar mecha and attempts to destroy it, knowing full-well the babies are inside and even gleefully going along with it.
  • Coco was pretty much unpleasant throughout the film, but she wrenched Chuckie's Tragic Keepsake out of his hands and then ordered Kira to destroy it. Even Angelica looked shocked!

Coco: Burn this moth eaten plaything! I never want to see it again

.

• • • This is also when Kira realizes that Coco does not care about either Chaz or Chuckie.
• Sequelitis: Averted. This film is said to be better than the original. See Even Better Sequel above.
• Toy Ship: As this is Kimi's introduction, this is also where shipping her with Tommy got started, particularly from the scene where they're watching the stage show and Kira places Kimi in Tommy's seat with him. (One Tommy/Kimi shipper has even stated he believes this movie was made to give Tommy a love interest.)
• Tear Jerker: The scene where Chuckie is left out of the dance for all the kids and their mothers. It only makes it worse when Chuckie tells Angelica his wish for the bobfather game is to have a Mother, only for her to tell him that they're no longer playing that game. Add to the fact that Sinead O' Conner's "When You Love" plays in the background.
  • And finally at the end when Chuckie get's his new mom, the loving Kira, and they dance. Vice versa with Chas and Kimi.
• What an Idiot!: Unsurprisingly, the adults all have their moments of this. Coco La Bouche's comes when she lies about having a new husband and child simply to impress her departing boss, which kicks off the main part of the plot. Chaz's comes from attempting to marry a woman who he did not know and who had all the characteristics of Obviously Evil, cementing him as a Horrible Judge of Character before recognizing his mistake. Finally, all of the parents for being irresponsible enough to leave their children in the care of Jean-Claude, another individual who they hardly knew and entrusted to bring to the wedding without issue. Compounding their lethal stupidity is not immediately rushing out to find their missing children upon realizing that they were nowhere to be found, instead carrying on with the ceremony.
