History YMMV / TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen

* SpiritualLicensee: If you want to play the closest thing to a VideoGame this movie will ever have, then you should play ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''.

** It should also be noted that Creator/RobinWilliams ' ''entire performance'' was ad-libbed. Let's hear it for cocaine!

* VindicatedByCable: Yet another movie saved by {{Creator/HBO}}.

* AwesomeMoments: When [[spoiler:the Baron's tale gives the entire town a boost of morale and they march for the town gates to put an end to the war going on. When Horatio Jackson, who had the town under his control before this, threatens to shoot anyone who leaves, he's ignored. And when they open the town gates, it looks like the battle was somehow won the way the Baron described it... ''as he told them the story''. In other words, ''the Baron saved the day with a story of his adventures''.]]
** [[spoiler:That very "fabled" battle, where the Baron's companions finally gets all the powers of their youths back and singlehandledly defeat the Great Turk's army.]]

* HeartwarmingMoments:
-->'''Sally:''' It wasn't just a story, was it?
-->''(The Baron casts her a look of warmth and annoyance, and flings the rose at her. Cue {{Fanfare}}.)''

* HilariousInHindsight: From debuting as Venus (Aphrodite in Greek mythology) in this film, to playing [[Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians Medusa]] years later, Creator/UmaThurman has played both women who symbolize completely opposite extremes in Greek and Roman myths. And speaking of Venus, her waltz with the Baron is amusing because you could say "[[Music/FallOutBoy she wants to dance like Uma Thurman]]." (Even better, that song was inspired by [[Film/PulpFiction a more famous movie]] that came out several years later, in which Uma Thurman dances with ''[[Creator/JohnTravolta another]]'' male protagonist.)

** If you were a kid when you first saw this movie, the GrimReaper scared the pants off of you.
** The entrance into the Moon, including the "parade" was disturbing as hell even for adults.

** Let's beging with the silly fact that the main city of the game is called Baron, then we can also name [[spoiler: the protagonist being attacked by leviathan (a giant sea monster), going to a volcanic-underworld and going to the moon]]. Also, this movie is what inspired the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' saga to use the GrimReaper for the 'Death' spell.

* OneSceneWonder: RobinWilliams as The King Of The Moon (credited as [[StageNames Ray D. Tutto]]) among others. The Baron doesn't stay in one place long enough for anyone to get more than one scene. Uma Thurman as Venus also stands out (though she is also part of the AndYouWereThere actresses in the theatrical BookEnds).
