History YMMV / TeenTitansGoToTheMovies

** When the Titans visit the Warner Brothers Studio lot, Starfire points out that the ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' happen to live up in the studio water tower. It was only two years later that the Warner Siblings returned in their own new series on Hulu.

** Some ''Looney Tunes'' fans probably just wanted to see the new opening logo animation of the wacky 1940s Daffy Duck, which serves as a preview to an upcoming series of new Looney Tunes shorts.

** On December 29, 2015, Cartoon Network ran a nearly all-day marathon of the show this film is based on to compete with an all-day marathon of the ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' series on the Creator/ParamountNetwork (which was known during that time as Spike). This movie has a time-travel sequence that not only spoofs the film said marathon competed with, but it also uses the movie's theme and Huey Louis' "Back In Time" during it.

* CriticalDissonance: Downplayed; the film has been widely well-received from both critics and audiences overall, but the audience rating was 25% around the time of the first teaser, rising to 50% after the first trailer, so audience opinion slowly rose as more information was released and after the film launched. After release, a good number of negative user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were just complaining about the film earning a higher aggregate score than ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' rather than anything about the movie itself. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently sits at a 91% critics score and a 72% audience score.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The movie has come to be viewed as something of an Author's Saving Throw for the series as a whole:
** One of the biggest issues about ''Teen Titans Go!'' is that the writers had almost ''no'' time to be creative and often referenced that during some ''Go!'' episodes. With a feature-length film, the writers actually had ''time'' to write a bigger script. Predictably, it's SelfDeprecation.
** After dangling the possibility of [[Characters/{{Deathstroke}} Slade]] making an appearance for years, include [[TrailersAlwaysLie a very reviled]] RatingsStunt BaitAndSwitch, he finally makes a legitimate voiced appearance in this movie... as the BigBad, no less.
** The second trailer managed to get people, even some against the series it's based on, to want to see the movie in due to being shockingly better than the teaser trailer (showing more jokes than a [[ToiletHumour fart joke]], having an actual plot and showing off action usually [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything unseen]] in the TV series) while looking [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt much better]] than it has any right to be.
** Famous DC superheroes appear in the film and are all actually voiced by famous actors rather than being throwaway [[TheCameo cameos]].
** The film has ''very'' goofy moments, but it also takes advantage of the medium and manages to include some truly impactful scenes that takes its characters seriously.
** Slade in this movie is a bit of a CompositeCharacter between his '03 cartoon ([[TheChessmaster a manipulative schemer working from the shadows]] who only goes by "[[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames Slade]]") and comic (a masterful hand-to-hand fighter utilizing guns, swords, and staves who gets directly involved in the action) selves, for those who didn't like [[InNameOnly how little 2003 Slade had in common with Deathstroke]].
** For anyone who didn't like how Robin throughout the series is portrayed as the ButtMonkey, along with TheFriendNobodyLikes, whom all the other Titans constantly disrespect, the movie opts to not showcase the more common portrayal of Robin as a loser who doesn't have the respect of his own teammates. Here, the Titans are shown to be well-meaning, if embarrassing, friends who support Robin in all his endeavors and Robin himself gets to receive some real character growth in the movie.

* SignatureScene:
** The mid-credits scene where [[spoiler: the 2003 Titans send a transmission saying they "found a way back".]]
** Thanks to MemeticMutation, the "My Superhero Movie" song has become this for the line about a 3D booty.

** The return of characters such as the Justice League (with [[EnsembleDarkhorse John Stewart representing Green Lantern]]), including cameos from the WesternAnimation/YoungJustice team, was yet another incentive for people to give the movie a chance.

** The Titans themselves, to a lesser extent. While still being mischievous [[IdiotHero Idiot Heroes]], they're far more serious about saving the world and working together as a team as opposed to being VitriolicBestBuds.

** A part of this may have to do with the fact that ''Teen Titans Go!'' in general has actually done rather well with critics despite the [[BrokenBase passionate discourse]] among fans, especially those of the 2003 series who take every opportunity to put down ''Go!'' [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks simply for not being that show]].

** "How come one of the most hated modern cartoons gets a theatrical movie but [name of popular cartoon] didn't?" This is especially notable given that it's a SpinOff of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 a better-received series]] that only got the MadeForTVMovie ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', that it is only the second Creator/CartoonNetwork show since 2002's ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie''[[note]]Not including ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForceColonMovieFilmForTheaters'', which is based on an Creator/AdultSwim property[[/note]] to get a theatrical movie, ''and'' because ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' was previously announced to get the theatrical treatment only for that movie to not have gotten off the ground.

* EvilIsCool: [[Characters/{{Deathstroke}} Slade]]. While this version is more [[LaughablyEvil humorous]] than his [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans previous incarnation]], [[BewareTheSillyOnes he also proves to be]] [[KnightOfCerebus just as much of a legitimate threat]], and is perhaps the greatest villain the 2013 Titans have ever faced.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Orchestral versions of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans 2003 series']] theme, heard several times throughout the movie's score.

* ShockingMoments: [[spoiler:Seeing the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans 2003 Teen Titans]] attempt to make a comeback into the spotlight during the movie's credits caused an explosive reaction of shock and joy from that show's fans.]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Replacing Creator/RonPerlman, Slade's voice actor in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', with Creator/WillArnett angered a few fans who were hoping that Slade's comeback would have Perlman reprise his role. Though Arnett's performance in the final movie won many people over, and works well for the more comedic (yet still competent) take on the character.

* MisBlamed: While Cartoon Network [[DorkAge has made some questionable choices before]], greenlighting this movie is not one of them, due to the show being produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment rather than Cartoon Network Studios.
