* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Adapted from a series of strips where Snoopy went missing to visit Lila in hospital. The strips did have the angst of Charlie Brown losing Snoopy and discovering he wasn't Snoopy's original owner, but there was never any question of whether Snoopy would stay with Lila or return to Charlie--that was added by the film.

** To enlarge on the above, she thinks that Snoopy (a beagle) and Woodstock (a canary) are a sheepdog and a parrot.

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHAL4nymy38 Fundamental Friend Dependability]" is an inspired bit of lunacy, written by the Sherman Brothers. They also wrote "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", and it shows.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: ALL of the Peanuts in this movie, but especially Snoopy and Charlie Brown.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: "NO DOGS ALLOWED!"

** Actually, the film confirms Charlie Brown's philosophy while playing [[Monopoly]] that no matter how bad things get, everything will work out in the end. Lucy called it "stupid".

* [[Escalating War]]: Snoopy and Linus get into one of these over Linus' blanket, complete with yanking, foot-stomping, nose-tweaking, head-butting, collar-snapping, and shin-kicking.

* [[Tropey Come Home]]

* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: Snoopy behaves like a prick to everyone in the film, but they all cry when he leaves. When he eventually returns, they're ''shocked'' when he continues to be a prick.
