** In a flashback with [[spoiler: the Emu woman]] as one of the cast members, she is allegedly one of the princesses. However she is wearing a generic princess costume instead of dressed as ''any'' of the Disney Princess lineup (made ''very'' obvious by the tall pointy princess hat she wears). Even worse is that it's one of the obviously greenscreened scenes, meaning they had no reason not to fully dress her up.

* StreisandEffect: Many suspect Disney's [[GenreSavvy awareness of this trope]] is the reason the notoriously copyright-protective company never went after the film; starting a lawsuit [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity would just drum up publicity]] for it. They did, however, give it a mention in their book ''Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia'', where the film has its own entry.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Several reviewers have pointed out that the concept of the film -- a horror movie set in a Disney theme park -- was far more fascinating than the film itself. As film blog ''Antagony & Ecstasy'' pointed out [[http://reviews.antagonyecstasy.com/2013/11/it-all-started-with-mouse.html in their review]], "nothing this potentially dangerous should be this tedious to sit through."

Hugging them too hard.]] Even more hilariously, [[spoiler: the hug is around the little girl's ''legs'', supporting her weight, instead of, say her torso to indicate something like suffocation.]]
