 * Some fans theorized that Maddie almost died by choking on a taco when she was younger, but surviving it and started developing a fear of tacos.
 * Some fans went a bit dark, and theorized that she used to like tacos until someone poisoned the tacos, and killed her family, except Maddie who never eat the taco because she thought it was poisoned.
 * Spark is actually a very sad dragon, pretending to be mean to hide his true feelings.
 * The Face Paint World Life takes place somewhere in 2018.
 * The Face Paint World Life, Kaylia: Space Avenger, Dave the Barbarian and The Proud Family are set in the same universe.
 * Although both are made by Disney, it was confirmed as false, since they were made by different creators.
 * The Face Paint World Life and The Face Paint'nimal Gang are set in the same universe.

Funny

 * Both Alexis, Gerrett and Matthew are actually comic reliefs.
 * [reserved for Green]
 * Moments where Maddie's fear of tacos is hilarious to viewers. Same with Alexis's fears.
 * Summerheart City Life Mania is considered to be one of the funniest episodes to date, these are the parts that support it:
 * The show getting Ocean's name wrong. Instead of being called Ocean, she is referred in the show as Oceantina. Ocean's reaction makes it funnier.
 * Ocean: Oceantina?! What name is that?! No one ever calls me that... IT'S OCEAN!

Tear Jerker

 * Alexis saying her tearful goodbye to Synla can make some viewers cry.

Heartwarming

 * Cute moments with Collin and Maddie can be heartwarming at times.
