• Animation Age Ghetto: A major contributor to the commercial failure of the movie. Some of the commercials try to avoid showing any traditional animation at all.
  • They themselves were seemingly unsure of who their target age group was. They have cutesy cartoony characters like Gune that are clearly aimed for kids, but they also have visible bloodshed and rather graphic onscreen deaths.
    • Don't forget the Fanservice provided on multiple occasions by Akima... honestly, the movie has a very "90's anime" sensibility in regards to content for the most part, but was ultimately marketed as a family film because how else would a Bluth animated film be marketed?
• Author's Saving Throw: See Explosive Decompression in the main page.
• Awesome Music: The whole soundtrack.
• Complete Monster: Preed, a slimy Akrennian barely tolerated even by the others on-board the Valkyrie, makes a name for himself as a backstabbing snake as his true colors unfold throughout the novel. Contacted by Susquehana with the promise of monetary reward for finding the Titan, Preed and his compatriot Joseph Korso betray the other members of the Valkyrie to the Drej. Preed quickly establishes himself as the viler of the two between him and Korso, nearly shooting his way through an entire crowd of innocent colonists to get to Cale and Akima and displaying open, sadistic relish at the prospect of doing so. Once at the Titan itself, Preed turns his gun against Korso and reveals his intention to simply murder all of his former allies and sell out the Titan to the Drej, dooming any chance humanity has to repopulate — and then kicking back and watching as the Drej massacre everything in their path, comfortable with the death of almost all sapient life in the galaxy so long as he gets to stay alive.
• Crazy Awesome: Gune is undeniably loopy, but that apparently helps him a lot in his scientist/navigator duties.

Cale: I'll tell you a secret: This guy's nuts! Korso: And I'll tell you another: He's never wrong.

• • "Who is your daddy? GUNE IS YOUR DADDY!"
• Creepy Awesome: Preed. He definitely qualifies as 'creepy,' but factor in his one-liners and eventual Magnificent Bastard tendencies, this is what you get.
• Creepy Sexy: Preed again, despite (or maybe because of) the dinosaur-like snout, big nasty teeth, long creepy arms and fingers, utter perversion and penchant for trying to lick things with that big, weird tongue. Being voiced by Nathan Lane doesn't hurt.
  • Results of this are frightening.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Pick a song. Any song.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Gune, for all the reasons mentioned above, and because he is the only really Bluthy character in the whole show. Stith is a fan favorite, and oddly, Korso and Preed have gained a following, sometimes bordering on the Leather Pants.
  • And, perhaps horrifyingly, KORSO/PREED.
• Nightmare Fuel: Earth getting blown up. The fact that it was in the trailers meant that even kids who didn't see the movie likely saw that scene. This Troper may not be scared of it now, but when she saw that scene as a kid, she was scared of afterimages on the sky for weeks.
• Shocking Swerve: Korso's betrayal.
• Special Effects Failure: Producer/Director Gary Goldman and Don Bluth openly complained about the time-and-budget crunch imposed by Fox at points in the DVD commentary, most notably involving a CG cliff shown near the end of the film that was done in literally the last two weeks of production.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot
• Woobie Species: Humans could be seen as this, as Earth was destroyed by the Drej, making humans galactic drifters.
