* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Wei and the aunties have this reaction when they realize that {{spoiler|they inadvertently sicced a fugue-state Ming in kaiju panda form on Mei, when the latter runs away from the sealing ceremony and the family blames Ming for this rebellion}}. As they reunite with Mei, {{spoiler|who is trying to dodge her mother's blows, Wei looks guilty as her daughter is attacking her granddaughter. This motivates her decision to break her talisman and help move an unconscious Ming to the sealing circle}}.
* [[Nice Girl]]: All of Mei's friends are this. Demonstrated when, after their [[Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure]], Miriam still cared for Mei's Tamagotchi.
* [[No Periods, Period]]: Falls under exceptions because the story is, at its base, a big puberty metaphor. There is a scene where a just transformed Mei hides in the bathroom and her mom interpreted her elusive excuses as the girl finally achieved menarche and reactingreacted by bringing out an impressive mountain of sanitary napkins and other products intended to relieve menstrual pain.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: In the climax, Ming {{spoiler|disrupts the 4*Town concert while having an episode in giant panda form, destroying the stadium before the concertgoers, stage crew, and performers can safely evacuate. There isn't much left after Mei successfully knocks her mother out with a headbutt}}. After the [[Time Skip]], it's shown that the city ordered Ming and the family to pay for damages to {{spoiler|rebuild the giant stadium}}, and they're using {{spoiler|Mei's panda form to raise the money}}. Given that the transformation is an [[Open Secret]], {{spoiler|Toronto wouldn't let Ming off the hook for endangering innocent people ''and'' destroying one of their sources of revenue}}.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: [[Wikipedia: May 2002 lunar eclipse|There really was a lunar eclipse on May 26, 2002]], the date of the film's climax.
