History YMMV / AniMat

** His hatred of Sony in general could be seen as this. Even after he agreed to tone it down, mention his name on certain sites and that's often the first thing that comes up about him.
** Him pre-2018 in general when his hate boner for Sony was highly known. His reviews of Minions and Despicable Me 3 count as well due to how many felt like he was too kind on those films, but too harsh on Sony Pictures Animation films. There's also him outright stating that Sony Picture Animation should shut down and even went as far as caing them, "The Donald Trump of Animation." However, he has admitted that he regrets saying those things.

** Him before pre-2018 in general when his hate boner for Sony was highly known. His reviews of Minions and Despicable Me 3 count as well due to how many felt like he was too kind on those films, but too harsh on Sony Pictures Animation films.

* BrokenBase: In general, fans have been split on his reviews since around 2013 when he became a lot of [[CausticCritic caustic]] not helped when he pans popular or [[SoOkayItsAverage otherwise alright films]] causing audiences to flip out.

** King Fergus from Pixar’s Brave as AniMat said he was the most likable character in the movie.
** The Grand Duke of Owls from RockADoodle as AniMat praised his charisma and Christopher Plummer’s voice acting.
** Terrence from The Angry Birds Movie as AniMat liked how he is the strong-silent type.

* WinBackTheCrowd: His review's of Sony films from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'' onward seem to be trying to do this by not letting his feelings about the company affect them as much. This is noticeable in his Top 10 Worst Animated Films of the Decade, where he included both "WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2" and "WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie" on the list, but only talked about them as films and didn't come across as condescending to its supporters, even acknowledging that some people did legit like the first Cloudy film without being frustrated at that fact

** A lot of people did not take kindly to him calling ''Disney/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch'' one of the worst Disney sequels.

** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'', he claims that the animation was modeled after the '40s style of animation. This is false as the animation was modeled after Creator/{{Pixar}}, mainly their ''Franchise/ToyStory'' films. Justified, though, as the characters ''do'' really look like anthropomorphic food characters from 40s cartoons.

*** Though after the controversy with Yoshi Player, he's promised to tone down his mention of his hatred of Sony Pictures Animation, and every review he did of their movies from ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'' onward completely omitted any mention of SPA.

** UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and his supporters are another major one. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Let's just leave it at that, shall we?]]

** A "He Didn't Praise It Enough, Now He Suck!" variant happened in his 2018 End of Year list when a lot of people took him to task for putting ''WesternAnimation/IsleOfDogs'' and ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'' over ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' (with one idiot even proclaiming that the former [[CriticalResearchFailure doesn't count as animation]] [[InsaneTrollLogic because]] [[LogicalFallacies it's stop-motion]]).

** Mat laughing at the "Hmmm, I don't know. I think we should be enemies" line during his ''[=AniMat=] Watches'' of ''[[Creator/DingoPictures Lion and the King]]'' after Mat revealed on ''[=AniMat=]'s Crazy Cartoon Cast'' that the reason he quit WebVideo/MrCoatAndFriends was because the [[WebVideo/MrCoat eponymous review]] said something almost verbatim to said quote.

* FanHater: Has gotten this accusation from fans of Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation. It got to the point where most fans [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere jumped ship]] following his Best and Worst of 2013 list.

*** Though after the controversy with Yoshi Player, he's promised to tone down his mention of his hatred of Sony Pictures Animation, which seems to be confirmed with his review of ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'': [=AniMat=] didn't mention the company at all, and only talked about the film and its franchise. He would do the same with his ''WesternAnimation/OpenSeason'' review as well, only mentioning SPA at the end of the review[[note]]and even then, only ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'' and the then-upcoming ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' were highlighted as examples of their work[[/note]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In his review of ''WesternAnimation/SurfsUp'', he states that Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation should look back at it and realize why they've fallen so hard. While saying this, he says that the movie doesn't really need a sequel. Shortly after his review, Sony actually announced a sequel to ''Surf's Up''...with Wrestling/{{WWE}} WRESTLERS.

** He has also called people who like ''Where the Dead Go to Die'' "freaks", and urged them to get help.

** Creator/DonaldTrump and his supporters are another major one. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Lets just leave it at that, shall we?]]

** Animated features released by Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany and Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation.

** Inverted with his reviews of WesternAnimation/{{Minions}} and WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3. Many people thought he was too kind to the films and that their respective scores of 7/10 and 8/10 were too high.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: His absolutely ''savage'' review of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'', tearing it apart for all its massive flaws, including [[EightDeadlyWords its unlikable characters]], [[ClicheStorm clichéd plot]] that blatantly steals plot points from much better movies and embarrasingly heavy ProductPlacement.

* NightmareFuel: His SanitySlippage in the Bratz review, all done in a homage to the AnimatedAdaptation of Literature/TheTellTaleHeart.
* SoOkayItsAverage: These types of films usually receive the 5-6 score from him.
