Unfortunate Implications require off-site citations


* UnfortunateImplications: The Otto and Dig segments are clearly trying to make AnAesop about being honest with people, especially if doing so will keep them from looking foolish or otherwise keep them from harm. But the unfortunate choice of having the recipient of this truth be a foreigner whom the story paints as too different in looks and posture to wear the clothing of his adopted home makes it seem like the segment is also trying to teach that immigrants from different cultures can never integrate into a new society.

* TheyJustDidntCare: The majority of the film shows that while the animator(s) were pretty terrible, they nevertheless tried for the most part. However, a [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it]] scene during the intro to Mr Poe's show has Mr. Poe face off against a bunch of monsters against a spooky background. Mr. Poe is just posed to face them not doing much of anything, the monsters themselves are ''clearly'' assets lifted from somewhere else and all of them are in a default T-pose, with a model made to look like Frankenstein having his arm visibly clipping through the chest of an orc-like creature behind him.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: During ''The Mr. Poe [[GratuitousGerman und]] Yogul'' segment, Yogul begins singing different show tunes to keep his spirits up during his torture. And then he sings "[[Music/MCHammer U Can't Touch This]]."
** Really, the entire ''Mr. Poe und Yogul'' segment may qualify. There's no follow-up segment nor is there any mention of the show before their segment.

* DesignatedHero: Mr. Poe. He choose to save Yogul, which would normally be a good thing, instead of ending world hunger or initiating world peace. No reason is given why he couldn't press either button, making him come off as either an IdiotHero or very selfish.

* FridgeLogic: If Mr. Poe had decided to press the button for world peace, that would mean Yogul would no longer be in danger and Dr. Dairy would become pacified, which is what Mr. Poe wanted anyways

Even ignoring that, there's no explanation given for why he couldn't press all three instead of just the one to free Yogul, and even if there was a reason why he could only press one of them, wouldn't world peace or ending world hunger(both of which could potentially save millions) be more heroic decisions than just freeing a single person? Considering this is supposed to be about making the right decisions...

** In the opening theme, if you watch as the singing Dorbee materializes and a microphone gets thrown into his hands, he doesn't actually catch it--it seems to slip through, yet he still holds a grip as if it were actually in his hands.

* FridgeBrilliance: While Dr. Dairy is clearly suppose to be speaking with a stereotypical French accent, he will occasionally start sounding like Ze Professor from VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay , who is German. Since the Mr. Poe and Yogul segment is suppose to be a low-budget German-made ShowWithinAShow , this could be an intentional case of mimicking OohMeAccentsSlipping

Also, Jac and Mary Jane may or may not have ended up in VideoGame/SilentHill.
