* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: After the first season, the show underwent a drastic shift to try to compete with ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse''. This change resulted in multiple characters being [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]]--for example, the Cat in the Hat became more of a host rather than TheTrickster who liked to push the stories along (as well as being recast with a new puppeteer, Marty Robinson). Unsurprisingly, the attempt to compete with Bear failed and the show was cancelled.

* JerkassWoobie: Jane Kangaroo is still a conceited matriarch like in ''Horton Hears A Who'', but a mix of both AdaptationalKarma and a larger focus on her redeeming qualities makes this interpretation rather sympathetic. Of particular example is "The Muckster" where she is pleading and sobbing for the renegade device to not take her beloved Junior from her after she carelessly overloads it.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Being late-1990s era CGI animation, the super imposed backdrops and props haven't really aged well at all, especially in cases the real life puppets try to interact with them (eg. "The Muckster" has characters turning the machine dial by....wriggling their hand under it).

** Yertle the Turtle is arguably even ''more'' of a Jerkass than in the original book, wanting to become king of the entire world, but the simple fact is he's pathetically bad at it.
