History YMMV / BlinkyBill

* MoralEventHorizon: Basil Circus. If he didn't cross it by kidnapping the animals for his circus and subjecting them to abuse prior to the events of Season 3 or by capturing Blinky's friends, tying them up, and locking them in a shed full of explosives in the episode "Crouching Dragon, Hidden Koala", then he crossed it ''big time'' in the Season 3 finale "How Green is My Greenpatch" [[spoiler: when he set fire to Greenpatch in an attempt to capture Blinky. This in turn causes [[HeelFaceTurn his brother Cyril to turn on him and side with the Greenpatchers by summoning the fire brigade to extinguish the fire.]]]]

* [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids What Do You Mean, It's Not for Preschoolers?]]: When the 90s/2000s series was rerun on Creator/TheABC's preschool programming block [=ABC4Kids=] in the early 2010s, many fans claimed that the ABC apparently forgot how cynical and witty the original series could actually be. For example, in "Blinky and the Red Car", Marcia asks Blinky if she should bash Danny.

* TearJerker:
** The Mother's Day episode where Nutsy recalls losing her mother and finally meets her long-lost father. Sure, it has a happy ending, but still...
** On the same note, the normally rambunctious Blinky is brought down to tears while telling his friends the story of how he lost his father to an illness.
** In the season finale of the third season, Blinky is crying again when he feels that he has to give himself up to Basil to save his family and friends. Things get worse when his plans backfire, as a bushfire heads toward his home while he's helplessly locked in a cage.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, TearJerker and AwardBaitSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd3ImciMaB0 "You and Me"]] from the 1992 movie.

* TheWoobie:
%%** Flap, occasionally.
** Nutsy, due to her mother being dead and her father being lost until the end of the first season.
%%** Tico counts during his appearances during season 3.

* BrokenBase: The 2015/2016 reboot, to fans of the "classic" (1992-2005) series. '''Good god, the reboot.''' Fans were extremely divided about the new character designs, and whether the switch to [[AllCGICartoon CGI]] animation was a good thing or not.

*** Due to all of these changes infuriating and [[AudienceAlienatingPremise alienating the fans of the classic series, as well as Australians in general]] due to said series being just as, [[AdaptationDisplacement if not more iconic than the 1930s books]], it's no wonder why Yoram Gross/Flying Bark made the decision to {{unreboot}} the series a few years later.

* WTHCastingAgency: Creator/RyanKwanten as Blinky in the 2015 movie, who does not sound like a little kid (especially compared to Robyn Moore's Blinky voice).

** Flap, occasionally.

** Tico counts during his appearances during season 3.

* MoralEventHorizon: Danny crosses this in "Blinky and Club Pet" where he plans on feeding the people of Greenpatch to feral cats in order to gain a position of power. Fortunately, [[CharacterDevelopment he gets better]].

* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Finns Love Blinky Bill]]: The series (as well as Blinky himself) is known as "Vili Vilperi" in Finland, and is '''''hugely''''' popular there, almost as much as it is in Australia.
