Hidden Agenda Villain | |
Craig Before the Creek / int_161fa3b8 | comment |
Hidden Agenda Villain: During the movie, it is unclear why Serena and her crew are causing chaos at the creek, other than to obtain a map leading to the wish maker that would grant her powers to flood the creek. At first, it seems like it's just because but later it is revealed that Serena wants to sail back to her hometown, which is why she needs the wish maker for that to happen. As for why she and her crewmates were bullying and stealing, it could be because Serena was too upset about being in Herkleton instead of her hometown and took out her frustration on innocent kids at the creek. Perhaps she recruited other kids to be pirates for her schemes because she couldn't do it alone. | |

The Ghost: The explorer girl, Hannah, is only seen in the prologue fleeing from the pirate kids and is alluded to throughout the movie from her diary containing information about the wish maker found in Craig's new house. | |

Minion with an F in Evil | |
Craig Before the Creek / int_35f57671 | comment |
Minion with an F in Evil: J.P. is introduced as the Torture Technician of the pirates, about to torture Craig and Kelsey. However, due to his Nice Guy personality, his torture methods aren't that threatening (save for the hot sauce in the eyes). In fact, Craig making an angry face spooks him and gets him to accidentally torture himself. Turns out he got the nickname "J.P. the Torturer" because the other pirates considered him as The Millstone. | |

Reformed Bully | |
Craig Before the Creek / int_52abfd4b | comment |
Reformed Bully: Serena, after Craig empathizes with what she truly wanted from the wish maker and convinces her to undo her wish, and she even forgave him for destroying her ship before proceeding to explore the rest of the creek. This also applies to her crewmates as they help increase Kit's inventory by donating. | |

Craig Before the Creek / int_574c0dd2 | comment |
Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing: Craig is relieved when him and Serena make their wish and escape the wishmaker, and they both saved the creek. But then the camera pans over to Serena's ship that's crashed into a sharp rock. Unfortunately, because of Serena's wish to stop her flood she made, it punctured the ship causing it to deflate. | |

Security Blanket | |
Craig Before the Creek / int_687d991e | comment |
Security Blanket: The only reason Jessica adjusts better to the move than Craig is because she still had her Small Uncle toy. When it gets lost at the creek and later taken by the pirate kids, she's an emotional mess without it. | |

Remember the New Guy? | |
Craig Before the Creek / int_77b03c0a | comment |
Remember the New Guy?: The pirate kids are Original Characters in this prequel movie, but they are never seen nor mentioned in the series itself. This might have been because the movie was produced late in the series’ run (They have apparently stayed with themselves since the events of the movie). | |

Rubbery World: The pirate ship is made of inflatable rubber, making the deck's floor and walls bouncy. It's showcased in a fight scene when Craig and Kelsey take advantage of this to knock some of the pirate kids off the ship itself. | |

Moving Angst: While the rest of his family adjust better at Herkleton, Craig is dismayed about the move because he just got invited to his first sleepover at an Old Friend's house and wants to use the wish maker to go back to his previous home. It turns out that Serena feels similarly and wishes to flood the creek to sail back to her old beach home. | |
