Chekhov's Skill: The Barnabys are established early on as having a hobby of constructing miniature dirigibles which comes to play in the climax when they lead a project to build a life sized version. and the fact that it ends happily, as do all of the old fashioned books she makes fun of, seems to belie its parodic nature.

Department of Child Disservices: The Department of Orphan Services are feared by the Nanny, who says giving an orphan to them is like locking a puppy in a cage. Disguised as a janitor, Linda sneaks into Tim's cell, reconciles with him, and breaks him out with Orphan Services in pursuit. Though all three are broader in scope than my earlier books, they nonetheless speak to the same concern: the vital need of people to be aware of their interdependence, not only with each other, but with the world and its environment.Melanoff explains that he originally intended to hand the baby over to the Department of Orphan Services, but grew attached to her; Linda is assured that Ruth will be well cared for in the factory. Everything has turned out just splendidly, except for one problem: Richie Willoughby, son of Timothy Willoughby, is an only child and is quite lonely. Like her brothers, Jane wishes for a new life without their neglectful parents Walter "Father" and Helga "Mother" Willoughby's interference. Jane is next seen sitting on one of the living room chairs, to which Tim then walks in holding Linda's cellphone, informing his siblings that their parents are alive, and are planning to sell the house so they can continue to their final destination: the Unclimbable Alps mountain range in Sveetzerlünd.

Indecisive Medium: The film is computer animated, but the overall style strongly resembles a stop-motion film.As they reach their destination, they follow a trail of their mother’s yarn to the top of the mountain, where they find their parents nearly frozen to death. New-Age Retro Hippie: Jane's foster family are hippies who believe in the "curative power of music" and spend their time singing and playing instruments, although none of this interests Jane, who is too upset about losing her home and brothers. With no way off the mountain, the siblings start to freeze to death, with no way down back, Jane sings for them. Nanny is only referred to as Nanny though it's revealed by Orphan Services that her real name is Linda. Even when the parents deserve it entirely it’s still unnerving to hear a sweet six-year-old girl implore, “do let’s wish for a helicopter-and-volcano disaster!
