 Dreamer Max, ridiculed by his classmates, conjures up his perfect dreamworld...the Planet Drool. But his dream is more powerful than even he suspects, and his favorite dream super-heroes, Sharkboy and Lavagirl, materialize on Earth. They need help from Max. All is not well in Max's dreamworld. An alien intelligence is interfering and darkness threatens his beloved Planet Drool. Is it true, as Sharkboy and Lavagirl say, that only Max, the powerful dreamer, can stop it? Max takes off on a wild and dangerous journey to the fantastic Planet Drool with Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Can they discover the source of the danger? Will they be able to stop it in time?

 * [[Agent Scully]]: Max's parents don't believe Sharkboy and Lavagirl ate the cookies despite the shark bitemarks and the melted glass.
 * [[An Aesop]]: The movie sets up for a "you need to solve your problems in the real world" aesop (i.e., the protagonist has a problem, goes to a fantasy world, learns how to fix their problem, goes back to the real world and applies their newly learned lessons without the aid of their fantasy friends).

 * [[The Ditz]]: Lavagirl
 * [[Dull Surprise]]: Jacob Davich as Linus/Minus gives a fairly wooden performance. Though it could be intentional due to how cynical and depressed Linus is.
-* [[Does This Remind You of Anything]]: Most obviously invoked when the scene during which the Ice Princess [[Rule of Symbolism|hands over her crystal heart]] is treated like a marriage ceremony. Much more subtly, however, is that Mr. Electricidad treats Max -- a fourth-grader -- like he's trying to put the moves on his daughter.

 * [[Elemental Powers]]: Water and fire, naturally.
 * [[Face Heel Turn]]: Mr. Electric used to supply Planet Drool with power, but he got so fed up with all the happiness that he decided to [[Disproportionate Retribution|destroy everything]].
-* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Much is made of Lavagirl's destructive power, but she fails to hurt Mr. Electric, does nothing to any of his minions, and spends most of her time in the Ice Castle frozen where it would have [[Elemental Rock Paper Scissors|made the most sense for her fire to come into play]].

 * [[Follow the Leader]]: In-universe example: after Max tells his story about Sharkboy and Lavagirl to the class, the next day they all have their own set of boy-girl superheroes (e.g., Metalboy and Plasticgirl).
 * [[Foreshadowing]]: Mr. Electricidad says they might have to change Linus's name to "[[Meaningful Name|Minus]]," the name that belongs to his Planet Drool alter-ego.

 * [[Grumpy Bear]]: Sharkboy, who is angry about being unable to find his father, the frozen waters, and not being made King of the Ocean.

+* [[Or Was It a Dream?]]: Zig-zagged.
 * [[Painting the Medium]]: The spaceship scene was blatantly designed for Lavagirl to instruct the audience to put on their 3D glasses from within the movie. A cheap set of glasses were even packaged with the DVD. The scene is, however, [[It Makes Sense in Context|somewhat out of place]] if you don't have any or are watching the movie on television.
 * [[Plot Hole]]: When they get to the Land of Milk and Cookies, Sharkboy says he hates chocolate. So why did he eat the cookies Max's mom made?
 * [[Quest for Identity]]: Throughout the movie, Lavagirl keeps trying to find out who she really is and what her purpose is.
 * [[Reality Warper]]: Max. [[Foil|And Minus]].
-* [[Red Oni Blue Oni]]: The eponymous characters, [[Inverted Trope|though not color coded as one would think.]] Sharkboy tends to be the more angry and emotive one while Lavagirl tends to be the more passive one.
