  • Nightmare Fuel: A humonguous python snake strangles and eats their donkey.
  • I Am Not Shazam: Unlike what the English title of the novel might suggest, the name of the family is almost certainly not Robinson, as it is not a Swiss name.

Several film and TV adaptations succumbed to the confusion and named the family Robinson.
