History YMMV / TheFearlessFour

** The Power Tool's face & headwear makes him look a little similar to N. Tropy from the VideoGame/CrashBandicoot games, although he was introduced in the [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3 third game]] which came out a year after this movie.

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The robot centaur brought in to replace Fred. It has a human face--a computer-animated one, made during a time when CGI had yet to be fully polished or well-integrated with traditional animation, the lack of CEL-shading made it look out of place in the 2D world and one that looks hideously terrifying every time the camera goes in for a close-up.

** The movie is a modern spin on a classic fairy tale that has the main characters being exploited for entertainment and forced to sing a propagandistic song in favor of a dictatorial figure. Later, those characters rebel themselves with a TriumphantReprise of said song on which they put the figure in shame publicly. [[WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio Hmm...]]

** In a part of the movie, Tortellini, a rooster, ends up inside a food machine (the Mix Max sausage machine, namely) and manages to escape alive, just like what would happen to [[WesternAnimation/ChickenRun another rooster]] three years later.

** In general, this movie is about four characters who attempt to do a cheerful trip together only to end up being the only ones that can stop a corporation that produces robots. Speaking of robots, there's also a giant robot that functions as a BigLippedAlligatorMoment. Also, one character in the main team can gain a boost in their strength and stamina when [[BerserkButton enraged]]. [[WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines Sound familiar?]]

* {{Anvilicious}}: When it comes to animal rights.

* CultClassic: Has a bit of a following and even an animation source fansite in the 2000's, though in recent years it is mostly [[SoBadIsGood ironic]] in nature.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: More like 'Creepy Singing Robot Centaur Moment'. "Power Tool" comes right the hell out of nowhere and makes no sense [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext even by the standards of the movie]], features a CGI centaur stuck so deep in the UncannyValley it's established a permanent mailing address there, and vanishes like a puff of smoke before the first fifteen minutes of the movie are even done.

* UncannyValley: The robot centaur brought in to replace Fred. It has a human face--a computer-animated one, made during a time when CGI had yet to be fully polished or well-integrated with traditional animation, and one that looks hideously terrifying every time the camera goes in for a close-up.

%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most of the songs in this movie are actually quite good.

* {{Squick}}: A cat - not an anthropomorphic {{Funny Animal}} one mind you, but a {{Nearly Normal Animal}} cat - that tries to seduce a human with song.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: More like 'Creepy Singing Robot Centaur Moment'.

%%* UncannyValley: The robot centaur brought in to replace Fred.

* NarmCharm: ObviouslyEvil villains? Check. Over the top {{Anvilicious}} animal rights messages? Check. The main characters being very obvious stereotypical archetypes? Check. Yet it is surprisingly charming, the characters aren't bland (though not particularly memorable either), and the soundtrack is generally quite good.

* CompleteMonster: Dr. Greed is either this or a greedy jerk.

* FridgeLogic: Mix Max apparently has enough power to rule over a town, doing so to the point of restricting ''laughter and happiness''. And yet they are worried about animal rights groups? And for that matter can't they just record the song, instead of needing the protagonists to sing it constantly?
