* SpecialEffectsFailure: '''Plenty''' of animation errors to go around, but a rare example in which the sound effects team must be called out on the godawful sound mixing, which comes to the point where at many points the dialogue spoken onscreen is made totally incomprehensible; good luck following along every time a character says something of actual importance.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Oriana's second dance in the film is just her flailing her arms and spinning in a circle. Considering this was when Felix had hatched an escape plan, she may have been "dancing" like that to make sure no one really paid close attention to Felix.

I distinctly remember the "heart of gold" thing referring to Felix being allowed to keep his "gold" while the Professor and Poindexter weren't able to bring back gold from Oriana. Also, since Princess Oriana's tear was the only way this movie could have happened adn the definition of Ass Pull applies to stuff being revealed abruptly at the last minute, I don't think that counts as an Ass Pull either.


* AssPull: The Duke of Zill abrupt reveal just near the end that [[spoiler: he's built a new and improved Master Cylinder to fight the heroes. Also an [[spoiler:AnticlimaxBoss owing to the Ass Pull pulled immediately after.]]
** The fact that a tear from the Princess activated a machine and travelled to meet Felix is definitely one of these.
** The fact that to go back home through the machine Felix must activate it with gold; or rather as it turns out, his ''heart of gold''. Groan....

Adding context to Bile Fascination and removing entry for Most Annoying Sound because it's lately been disputed over what counts as an example.

* BileFascinationBileFascination: Many people are only interested in seeing this movie because of the vitriol it receives.



* MostAnnoyingSound: Almost all the dialogue and background noise count as this, as it is constantly talking and noise overlapping to the point where you can't even follow what the characters are discussing at times, mainly due to very poor sound-mixing. It's as if the voice-acting and SFX were on the ''same channel''.

This about plot that could have happened, but weren't attempted, not poorly done plots.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: You'd think a DarkerAndEdgier film about the ''[[{{Flanderization}} watered down]]'' WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat travelling into another dimension to fight an evil overlord and his army of robots across a dark, twisted land would have been the best thing to ever happen to Felix. [[RandomEventsPlot Sadly,]] [[TheyJustDidntCare it wasn't meant to be.]]





* TheyJustDidntCare: It would explain why the plot is such a mess, the numerous animation goofs that they didn't correct despite having plenty of time to do so, and why they didn't even bother to release it into theaters until a year after it was "finished".
