Experienced Protagonist: Moya has been to the magical land of the Megaloceros before. She knows how to get there, how to navigate, and is already friends with several of its talking animals. She's basically Keegan's guide. |

Recycled Soundtrack: The film incorporates Bill Whelan's music from the stage show in various contexts throughout, such as "Reel Around the Sun" being used for Grandpa's funeral dance and "The Countess Cathleen" for when Moya "dances" on water. |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: It's a kid-friendly film on the whole, with plenty of fun musical numbers and talking-animal comic relief. That doesn't stop Brendan Gleeson turning in a genuinely chilling performance as the Huntsman. |

Never Got to Say Goodbye |
| | Riverdance: The Animated Adventure / int_8a164766 |
comment |
Never Got to Say Goodbye: Keegan expresses this regret, since his granddad died in his sleep suddenly. This is a key plot point, as Moya takes him on the journey to the magical land so he can find Granddad's spirit and say goodbye properly. He does meet his grandfather at the designated place, but there is no time for a heart-to-heart. The proper goodbye takes place later, after the climax. |
