8	* AccidentalInnuendo: There are quite a few examples:
9	** A recurring one is for the camera to suddenly cut to a character [[HehHehYouSaidX quietly snickering]], making the line that came before sound dirty.
10	** ''Countryside Bears'': "He... can't... his leg, you know, the one, I mean, the one that... he... stuck in my house is still... hurting it- him- yes..."
11	** ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'': "He could still feel the vibration of the bells, and that was enough to keep him happy."
12	** ''Anastasia'': "He won't [[HaveAGayOldTime molest]] you again so quickly."
13	** ''The Toys Room'': "It's not really Pamper's fault that the little boy... takes him to bed with him. I'll just have to get used to the fact that he loves somebody else besides me."
14	** The cyclops in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGZFknONoPU&t=33m50s Hercules]] moves his hand up and down and groans as if he's masturbating.
15	** "Pocahontas... little rascal... I liiiiiiiike that."
16	** In ''Balto'', Komo accuses Balto of trying to "get off" with Judy.
17	** In one scene of ''Aladin'', the title character's mother is supposed to be waving at a crowd. But instead, it looks like she's doing a jerking-off gesture.
18	** ''Janis the Little Pig'': one of the farm animals is a rooster named Monsieur [=LeCock=].
19	** ''Musicians of Bremen'':
20	*** "Earlier, yes, earlier, when he brought sex..." [[note]]Sacks (with corn)[[/note]]
21	*** The narrator continuously refers to the rooster as a cock.
22	---->'''Narrator:''' Can't believe it. No cock can handle that.
23	* AluminumChristmasTrees: Raccoons traditionally have black masks (or brown if erythristic), so Wabuu's white one appears to be ArtisticLicenseBiology. However, raccoons with white masks [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVfgYawXgAACqMb?format=jpg&name=900x900 do exist,]] they're just an extremely rare genetic variation.
24	* AntiClimaxBoss:
25	** The climatic fight on Mount Olympus in Dingo's ''Hercules'' is just a poorly animated sequence of Herc one-shotting Hades' monsters one after the other.
26	** In ''Mouse Police'', the Rocky Roquefort gang immediately surrender when confronted by a just one cop and an inspector.
27	* {{Asspull}}: ''King of the Animals'' features a rather surreal example: the eponymous king and his family have been banished to the desert, and need a plan for overthrowing the BigBad. After a little brainstorming session, the king's son gets an idea: they'll just bribe the BigBad's right-hand vultures ''with computers.'' This is the first time human technology is ever referred to in the entire movie, and absolutely no explanation is given for how or where they end up acquiring said computers (or how the animals even know what a computer ''is'', for that matter).
28	* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[RascallyRaccoon Wabuu]] is either a {{Scrappy}} and CreatorsPet or an EnsembleDarkhorse [[WatchItForTheMeme (mostly among Phelous's fans)]].
29	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
30	** The "[[https://youtu.be/toVK97H4j24 Carpet-flying Song]]" from ''Aladin'': Aladin sings about the benefits of flying a carpet and calls it "ecological" because it doesn't make any noise, doesn't produce fumes and needs neither fuel nor an engine nor brakes and horns even though it doesn't make sense with the ArabianNightsDays setting.
31	** Wabuu's theme song in ''Pocahontas'' comes absolutely out of nowhere and includes him teleporting and standing in front of a cook who otherwise doesn't appear at all in some versions of the movie.
32	* BileFascination: Dingo's works can be this for some, whether it be the generally subpar animation or the memes spawned from its mockbusters.
33	* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: Wabuu the racoon used to be a Scrappy and CreatorsPet due to [[MisplacedWildlife appearing in a lot of Dingo's movies in absurd ways]] and for his DesignatedHero [[AxCrazy characteristics]], but Phelous's reviews of Dingo movies and his MemeticBadass treatment of him, combined with Wabuu's witty statements such as "Most of the animals are so stupid...", has made him popular in a way similar to Phelous's ''other'' EnsembleDarkhorse, [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992 Old Man]].
34	* CreatorsPet: Wabuu, judging by his numerous speaking roles, and the fact he has his own theme tune (which he always sings).
35	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Some of the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids more family-unfriendly]] ([[ValuesDissonance at least by American standards]]) content can come off as funny due to their nature.
36	* DesignatedHero: A fairly common issue due to ProtagonistCenteredMorality.
37	** Robin’s father from ''Lion and the King'' is meant to be the [[TheGoodKing noble ruler of the jungle]] but between constantly snapping at his subjects, being very [[ParentalNeglect neglectful towards his son]] and [[LazyBum hardly being proactive at any point in the story]], he comes across as no better than [[BigBad the Black Panther]].
38	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} Unlike his altruistic to a fault counterpart]], Dingo’s Balto comes across as an indifferent {{Jerkass}} who is [[SkewedPriorities more concerned about getting together with his love interest than actually saving Nome’s children who are suffering from diphtheria]]. Ironically, Komo is far less villainous than his counterpart Steele.
39	** Esmerelda and Pierre just ditching Quasimodo to rot in jail, even after the latter saved Esmerelda’s life, doesn’t paint them in the most heroic light. Pierre being a self-admitted DirtyCoward who’s only concern is getting together with Esmerelda only makes him more loathsome.
40	** It can be a bit hard to root for Aladin/Aladdin/Alladin, given that he essentially kidnaps his LoveInterest.
41	** Aunt Gertrude from ''Bunny the Rabbit'' verbally abuses her niece and nephew, at one point yelling at them to leave her house over breaking an egg (which she herself broke) and then later scolding them for doing so as if she didn't tell them to in the first place, and threatens to ''box her nephew's ears'' [[DisproportionateRetribution when she believes he lied about being kidnapped]].
42	** The Cat on Boots threatens to kill innocent peasants if they don't go along with his plan, and murders a sorceror to steal his castle. There's a reason why most modern versions of Literature/PussInBoots give the castle's owner AdaptationalVillainy. Here, we only get a single line about casting a spell to make people ill, but since nobody shown before seems to be affected by his presence, it's just an InformedAttribute.
43	** Wabuu is constantly pranking and roasting the other characters and shows no real empathy. This is the most obvious when he's the protagonist of his own movie: While he's called out by others for the consequences his behaviour has (involving endangering the life of his supposed best friend), in the end he's EasilyForgiven and shows no CharacterDevelopment as the movie just ends with Wabuu pranking everyone ''again''.
44	* DesignatedVillain: Komo from ''Balto''. At first he acts like a rival, constantly quarreling with Balto and jealous of his relationship with Judy. But when they go to Anchorage for the medicine, they travel with no fighting or arguing at all and Balto is even saddened when Komo falls to his death.
45	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
46	** The head bobbing guy in ''Aladin'' appears for about three seconds, yet many viewers consider him to be the best part of the movie.
47	** Many enjoy Grumpy Bear from ''Countryside Bears'' because of his nihilistic perspective, always disrupting the story to talk about himself, and the fact that [[LarynxDissonance he is voiced]] [[CrossDressingVoices by a woman]]. With his obvious contempt and wish to distance himself from the other characters, viewers tend to see him as one of them and the OnlySaneMan in the cartoon.
48	** Wabuu has become one thanks to WebVideo/{{Phelous}}'s MemeticBadass treatment of him in a similar way to Old Man from Creator/GoldenFilms' [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastGolden1992 own Beauty & The Beast mockbuster]]. His AxCrazy being [[MoodDissonance played lightly]] and his DeadpanSnarker characteristics do help.
49	** Out of all the villain characters, Rasputin is considered by many to be the funniest, thanks in part to his MadBomber schtick, his [[{{Gonk}} hilariously grotesque design]] and his [[{{Narm}} stilted but hammy dialogue]], which is often accentuated by his [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent weird accent]] and [[TheUnintelligible oftentimes unintelligible manner of speaking]], making every scene he's in a blast. There’s also his [[HoistByHisOwnPetard hysterical death]] via CartoonBomb.
50	* EsotericHappyEnding:
51	** ''The Toys Room'' ends with Pino coming to terms with the fact that he won't be his owner's favorite toy anymore, but also insinuates that Pamper will also suffer the same fate come their owner's next birthday.
52	** ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' ends with Esmeralda escaping from Paris while Quasimodo is left to rot in prison for killing Frollo, but he knows Esmeralda is safe, so he doesn't care. This sounds like a BittersweetEnding with extra emphasis on ''bitter'', but the music and narration imply that we are meant to feel happy for Quasimodo and see this as an acceptable fate for him.
53	** ''Janis: The Little Pig'' has Janis escaping from the butcher's, but the other pigs are left there, and we can only assume their fates at the end. She also decides to leave her family on the farm going in the world, basically letting her siblings behind in the knowledge they will also eventually be brought to the butcher.
54	* FanNickname: The king lion from "Lion and the King" has been dubbed [=King MuhGOD=], after one of his more bizarre quotes ("The diamonds! My God!").
55	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Dingo Pictures itself is more well-known in foreign countries like the United States than its native Germany. Probably because of the infamous dubs adding to the [[GoodBadTranslation "quality".]]
56	* GoodBadTranslation:
57	** For an example, in Legend of Pocahontas, Pocahontas yells "NEIN! NEIN!" when an old man [[spoiler: shoots Quickspear [[OffModel while having three arms]]]].
58	** Signs and other things in the background aren't translated at all. That's why even in the English versions, there are "Polizei" (police) cars or signs in front of an animal shelter that read "Tierheim" (animal home).
59	** In Mouse Police, there is a character called "Frau München", the male mouse makes a directly translated "Limburger"-related pun that doesn't work in English, and the villain character of the movie wants to send cheese from Germany (where it is said they are) to Italy. In fairness, Mouse Police is one of the few Dingo movies where they seem aware of their own shortcomings and just decided to roll with them.
60	** When any of the characters start to sing, you can hear the original language in the background.
61	** In the English dub of Animal Soccer World, the football anthem is sung in Dutch over the original German. Same for the English version of Wabuu's theme song.
62	** In the English dub of Aladin they didn't even bother dubbing over the intro song, and just left it in German. If this wasn't weird enough, the voice actors speak in genuinely broken English -- "Can you image India?" -- and part of their words are cut off to fit the frames. Note that unlike most of their other works, the voice actors in this are obviously Dutch kids who learned English at school.
63	** The attempt at translating a sea-shanty in Pocahontas results in "luck" being rhymed with "back". The voice actors even give an incredulous "uh..." when they get to that line.
64	* HamAndCheese: It's hard to tell if it was [[PoesLaw intentional or not]], but there's no denying that part of the [[BileFascination appeal]] of Dingo's "films" comes from the extremely overdramatic acting following the DullSurprise. Several of the below-mentioned {{Memetic Mutation}}s are good examples, but also Rasputin—not just in ''Anastasia'', but also his ReusedCharacterDesign in ''Atlantis'', where he's [[LarynxDissonance obviously voiced by a woman]]—is [[EvilIsHammy really hammy]]. His portrayal in ''Anastasia'' in particular has an over-acted [[FakeRussian Russian accent being done by an English-speaking German actor]], and deteriorates into {{Angrish}}.
65	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
66	** The fact that, in ''Empire of Atlantis'', Petros [[spoiler:ends up naming his rebuilt boat after the girl he became friends with in Atlantis]] is probably the closest to this that any Dingo movie comes.
67	** The titular ''Anastasia'''s [[HappilyAdopted relationship with the old man who adopted her]] also counts. The two still see each other as father and daughter after her identity is discovered and even when she reunites with her grandmother.
68	* HilariousInHindsight:
69	** Several years down the road, ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' would end up satirizing the Creator/DisneyChannel using the ''exact same name'' (Dingo Channel, in this case). In the episode where they appear, they're portrayed as stealing the ideas of other companies to pass off as their own--just like Dingo Pictures does with its [[TheMockbuster "movies"]].
70	** At least one English release of ''Aladin'' abruptly ends 43 minutes in, which is hilarious considering that the story is often (but not officially) considered part of ''Literature/ArabianNights'', whose FramingDevice revolved around Scheherazade telling a story and stopping partway in to delay her execution.
71	* HoYay: Keno ("Mew Mew") and Robin's friendship in ''Lion and the King'' plays out a lot like Kovu and Kiara's childhood romance in Lion King 2. It has a serious "star crossed lovers"-vibe.
72	* LadyMondegreen:
73	** When Oro was first mentioned in ''Dinosaur Adventure'', many people misheard his name as "Oral".
74	** The head-bobbing man from ''Aladin'' is nicknamed "Sailish Dee", due to a snippet of the lyrics sounding like that when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV50z1b1tEI his shot is looped]].
75	* MemeticBadass: Wabuu has become one thanks to Phelous interpreting him as a ''time-traveler'' due to him appearing in the supposedly historical-fiction ''Pocahontas'' and the relatively modern ''Countryside Bears'' and his own titular movie. Also, rather than being a DesignatedHero, Phelous ''deliberately'' plays Wabuu as a villainous {{sadist}}.
76	* MemeticMolester:
77	** Charlie from ''Nice Cats'', due to his near-constant attempts to flirt with Lucy, despite him being a full-grown cat and her being a kitten.
78	** Wabuu is no better, as he gets paired up with Lucy in ''Pocahontas'', [[PedoHunt despite Lucy still being a kitten]]. For extra creepiness, in the original German dub of ''Pocahontas'', Lucy is clearly voiced by a prepubescent girl.
79	** And we have this gem, an AccidentalInnuendo from ''Anastasia:'' "He won't molest you again so quickly." It's a case of BlindIdiotTranslation: they obviously meant to say "He won't bother/annoy you again", but the word they chose ended up making Rasputin seem like a sex offender. The historical Rasputin's reputation for [[ReallyGetsAround having an extremely active sex life]] ''really'' doesn't help.
80	* MemeticMutation:
81	** Wabuu: "Most of the animals are soooooo stuuuuupid." [[note]]He [[BeamMeUpScotty actually never said that]], as you can see [[Trivia/DingoPictures here]]. Memes are soooooo stuuuuupid.[[/note]]
82	** The odd '[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV50z1b1tEI head bobbing guy]]' as seen in ''Aladin''.
83	** The same scene was featured in the YouTubePoop "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi-a93TgzBw#t=45s Super Duper Super Men]]", set to different music (an excerpt from "Silent Film" by Music/DogFashionDisco). For some time it was popular to edit other characters to bob their heads to that portion of the song.
84	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiOe-b_ocI8 "The diamonds! My God!"]] from ''Lion And The King'' has become pretty popular since WebVideo/{{Phelous}} reviewed the movie.
85	*** Also spawned from his review of said movie: both "SCENE INTERRUPTING BEAR!" and "your father the black panther [[RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy is your father?]]"
86	** "You is the Pope of Fools!" from ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''.
87	*** The screaming nuns from the same film.
88	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bopGf-gJmi4 "Nej, Komo! ''NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJ!''"]]
89	** The [[ScareChord "DUNNN!"]] sound whenever someone or something hits the ground or crashes into someone or something else.
90	** "Child murderer! Child murderer!" from ''Wabuu the Cheeky Raccoon'', and Wabuu's retelling of his story ''The Countryside Bears''.
91	** "For you..."
92	** [[AC: "Start telling!"]] from ''Musicians Of Bremen'' thanks again to Phelous' review of the movie.
93	* MemeticPsychopath: Wabuu is often turned into a [[AxCrazy deranged murderer]] in parodies.
94	* {{Misblamed}}:
95	** Despite all their [[EpicFail spectacular incompetence]], a lot of the frequently-criticized aspects of their Disney knockoffs are actually taken straight out of the same source material Disney used, [[TruerToTheText which Dingo seems to have set out to stick closer to than Disney did]]. Aladin encountering two separate genies and Tarzan being of noble heritage are examples.
96	** Aladin abducting the princess in the Dingo version is actually a ''toned down'' version of the original. In the original story, he does this ''every night for an extended period of time''.
97	* {{Moe}}: Mew Mew from ''Lion and the King'', a cute panther cub who comes across as rather shy and basically acts as the MoralityPet for his father the black panther, the BigBad of the movie.
98	* MoralEventHorizon:
99	** The mouse in ''Nice Cats'' who laughs at Lucy (a ''kitten'') getting caught by cat catcher and the cat catcher himself who sells stray cats to science labs simply for being ugly.
100	** ''Pocahontas'': In-universe as with the source material counterpart, the Governor ends up accidentally shooting John instead of the Chief which causes his crew to turn on him.
101	** The farmer in ''Janis/Jamie'' for gleefully picking a piglet to slaughter in front of her mother. Special mention also to Alex who constantly bullies the child pig and somewhat causes her to act out.
102	* {{Narm}}:
103	** Komo's death in ''Balto'' is presumably supposed to be sad... but it just [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7dZlaYpE50 isn't]].
104	** Wuschel's graphic struggle to move out of the tree that crushed him in Wabuu's eponyomous short is accompanied with a comedic [[LosingHorns "wah wah waah"]] sound effect (sadly not present in the East-West English DVD dub).
105	** The aforementioned "DUNNN!" ScareChord, when [[SoundtrackDissonance used inappropriately]].
106	** The song Aladin sings in his love sickness. While the melody manages to be at least a ''bit'' sad, the borderline WordSaladLyrics destroy everything:
107	--->''Alas, where is my head at?''\
108	''I am looking at a stock pot''\
109	''At a tankard for coffee''\
110	''But no matter where I look''\
111	''There is always just the one:''\
112	''Soraya, oh, Soraya''\
113	[...]\
114	''All of my friends in the alley,''\
115	''As well as the broth in the cup,''\
116	''The lamp over there, the butter over here,''\
117	''Even the skirt of my mother''\
118	''Everything so distant, just one thing nearby:''\
119	''Soraya, oh, Soraya''
120	* NeverLiveItDown:
121	** Robin's father from ''The Lion and the King'' said "The diamonds! My god!" in a funny-sounding voice once, and it's the one thing most people know him for, to the point that he's unofficially called "King [=MuhGod=]".
122	** Wabuu carries an axe in his movie. Even though he only uses the axe to cut a tree, people see him as a violent MemeticPsychopath. He ''is'' called a child murderer, but even that was due to an accident, and Wabuu is relieved to find that the child in question was safe.
123	* {{Padding}}: A lot of their films' runtimes are taken up by the characters talking about nothing of particular importance, or recapping things that just happened.
124	* RetroactiveRecognition: Although the Swedish actors went uncredited[[note]]only one movie was released in Swedish with credits intact... but those were just the German unedited credits[[/note]], several of them have been identified later on, although not all of them have actually confirmed their involvement. Coincidentally, several of them also dubbed ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin1991''. For some examples: Wabuu's voice actor, Dan Bratt, has also played (among others) Professor Calculus and Obi-wan Kenobi in WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars; the narrator Anja Schmidt has voiced Bianca Castafiore and Granny in Film/SpaceJam, as well as some minor live-action roles; the late Kenneth Milldoff who (is widely assumed to have) dubbed several of the villainous dogs in ''The Dalmatians'' had also voiced Captain Haddock and six different characters in WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987.
125	* RonTheDeathEater:
126	** Wabuu is seen as a dangerous sociopath, even though he canonically only plays harmless pranks, and the one time he causes real harm is an accident. WebVideo/{{Phelous}}' reviews helped popularize this view of the character.
127	** Esmerelda is frequently derided for leaving Quasimodo in prison at the end of ''Hunchback'' but it's not like she has any feasible way of freeing or helping him. And while [[EsotericHappyEnding it's hard for audiences to accept]], Quasimodo ''is'' perfectly happy with spending the rest of his life in prison as long as he knows Esmerelda's safe.
128	* TheScrappy: You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who actually likes Dundee from ''The Lion and the King''. Curiously, even the ''other characters'' [[TheFriendNobodyLikes seem to dislike him]].
129	* SerialNumbersFiledOff: Dingo pictures made an adaptation of ''Music/PeterAndTheWolf''. Then they received a letter from a lawyer informing them that ''Peter and the Wolf'' wasn't in the PublicDomain ''yet'', so they edited and redubbed the movie as ''Benni und seine Freunde''.
130	* SoBadItWasBetter: The [=Edutain4Kids=] books have better-looking art than the movies, but once you get over the fact that yes, somebody bothered to produce Dingo Pictures-related media ''long'' after their infamy had been firmly cemented, you realize that as books, they lack the awful animation and voice acting of the movies, [[BileFascination which were the main reasons anyone was interested in Dingo Pictures' work in the first place]], so you are left with some completely unremarkable kids' books.
131	* SoBadItsGood:
132	** The terrible animation and [[OnlySixFaces obvious reused character designs]] combined with the whiplash from [[DullSurprise emotionless acting]] to [[{{Narm}} overdramatic]] [[HamAndCheese hamminess]] and the "[[DesignatedHero heroes]]" being [[AxCrazy so deranged]] that they end up [[EnsembleDarkhorse enjoyable in a]] ''[[EvilIsCool different]]'' way. Not to mention the [[NightmareRetardant supposedly scary male characters being]] '''[[LarynxDissonance very]]''' [[LarynxDissonance obviously voiced by a woman]]. Don't worry, she also hams it up like crazy.
133	** Even the [=EastWest=] dubs manage to be enjoyable in this way. One good example of this is ''Animal Soccer World'', which was the most notable Dingo Pictures movie before Phelous started reviewing them. It still has all the hamminess of the regular dubs, but with worse acting and production values. It also has a never ending dramatic jungle drum loop playing. But an even better example would be Aladdin—sorry, "Aladin", which has ''[[{{Malaproper}} really]]'' [[{{Malaproper}} bad pronounciation]], delayed responses and lag that cause Aladin himself to say "[[PrecisionFStrike That Bastard!]]" ''while smiling,'' and best of all, '''[[ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud Aladin himself actually says "Exit Scene"!]]'''
134	* SpecialEffectFailure: Several examples, verging from floating branches and disembodied camels to vibrating heads.
135	* {{Squick}}: During one scene in ''Pocahontas'', a ''live insect'' can be seen crawling across the screen for a few seconds. For viewers who don't like bugs, that can be rather disgusting, especially since Dingo Pictures apparently didn't bother to do anything about it.
136	* StrangledByTheRedString: So, Aladin has a crush on the sultan's daughter Soraya (who doesn't know him at all) after spying on her in the baths. He commands Genie to kidnap her, and literally less than 10 seconds after meeting ''for the first time'' they start singing a duet about starting a family with seventeen children.
137	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
138	** Inexplicably, a song that sounds ''very'' similar to the ''Series/PeterGunn'' theme appears in some of the cartoons.
139	** Another song often played in "tense" moments is rather reminiscent of the ''Film/{{Jaws}}''-theme.
140	** One of the background tracks, often accompanying the [[Main/RecycledAnimation recycled footage of elephants walking]], sounds like a pastiche of ''Music/ArtOfNoise'' tracks, namely ''Paranoimia''
141	* TakeThatScrappy: From "The Lion and the King".
142	--->'''Robin:''' Shut up, Dundee.
143	* UnfortunateCharacterDesign:
144	** Robin, who is based on [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 young Simba]], has a nose that resembles buttcheeks, or possibly a scrotum.
145	** The [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Roo]] CaptainErsatz in ''Countryside Bears'' has a doll in her pouch. At first glance it doesn't quite look like a doll.
146	** Charlie Chip -- the handheld gaming system in ''The Toys Room'' -- has a joystick at a ''very'' [[GagPenis unfortunately-chosen spot]] for an anthropomorphic object.
147	** Rasputin in ''Anastasia'' has a very eerie similarity to the offensive Jewish caricatures in Nazi propaganda posters. It's rather disturbing considering a conspiracy theory that circulated after the creation of the Soviet Union and later gained credence among Nazis blamed the rise of communism on the Jews, and like the Don Bluth version, Dingo's Rasputin is responsible for the Russian Revolution. This being a German production, the creators ''really'' should've known better. Making things even worse, the [=Edutain4Kids=] adaptation, for whatever bizarre reason, gives Rasputin a ''Star of David'' (albeit a very poorly drawn one) on his robes in a couple of pictures (despite the historical Rasputin being a Russian UsefulNotes/{{Orthodox Christian\|ity}}).
148	*** Albeit only when viewed from the front. In profile view, Rasputin looks more like some [[OffModel crudely drawn goblin]].
149	** A vocal example - in the original German version of ''Aladin'', the magician's parrot [[TrrrillingRrrs trills his Rs]], which by itself is nothing special, but when combined with the harsh staccato rhythm, it gives his voice an unfortunate resemblance to ''UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler's''. At least they didn't also have him speak with an Austrian accent like said dictator.
150	* UnintentionalUncannyValley:
151	** The male lead in ''Anastasia'' is traced from the actual Anastasia from Creator/DonBluth's film and the result doesn't look right.
152	** ''Hercules'' has them giving most of the humanoid characters surreal lineless faces, which looks off with how they are animated and fit with the rest of the Dingo cast.
153	** The chef character in ''Pocahontas'' and ''Nice Cats'' (both movies use the exact same footage) is accompanied by [[EthnicScrappy an extremely stereotypical Asian]] sidekick who is the "head-bobbing guy" from Aladin shrunken and reskinned, causing him to look unnatural because he's abnormally tiny compared to everyone else and his body is inanimate with only his head moving.
154	** Oro. To be exact, [[https://secure.static.tumblr.com/937dd0566a9739774cbaa429b0cfbdce/vkek11z/lSPnbiuoe/tumblr_static_tumblr_static_bbirp6glh20ck00w448k8wg8s_1280.png his close-up,]] which makes his otherwise goofy face look uncanny.
155	** Professor Bloomsdale, the [[WritingAroundTrademarks Professor Porter]] {{Expy}} in ''Lord of the Jungle'', is depicted with ''colorless irises'' (likely a coloring error), giving him a rather unsettling, dead-eyed look when seen from the front. This is especially weird since most of Dingo’s human characters lack irises in the first place.
156	** Similarly, while his father and the black panthers have regular feline noses, for whatever reason, Robin is given a honker that resembles a [[UnfortunateCharacterDesign scrotum]], making it seem like he’s deformed ''in-universe''.
157	* ValuesDissonance: Germany is known for its gruesome fairy tales, and its somewhat lax approach to censorship in children's programming. Which is odd as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Department_for_Media_Harmful_to_Young_Persons BPjM]][[note]]Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Medien or Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons[[/note]], the government agency responsible for regulating and censoring content can and will ban media they deem to be dangerous to the youth. So what scary, violent or innuendos parts might be acceptable to German children, are definitely not in the UK or the US (i.e. they use things Disney would never be allowed to use).
158	** An example is Wabuu's short where he is called a child murderer repeatedly, and the main conflict is everyone believing that he's killed the birds' chick and Wuschel the squirrel. And on their website, it was put under the "For the very young" section, meaning this is considered an ''especially'' child-friendly story.
159	** Lucy the kitten gets [[ShipTease ship teased]] with both Charlie in ''Nice Cats'' and Wabuu and ''Pocahontas'', despite the latter two being adults. In ''Pocahontas'', she and Wabuu even become an OfficialCouple at the end. In the original German dubs, Lucy is even voiced by an actual prepubescent girl for extra {{Squick}}. Oh, and [[DomesticAbuse Wabuu contemplates beating her up at one point after she annoys him]].
160	** In ''Mouse Police'', the criminal gang are blatantly drug dealers.
161	** In ''The Toys Room'', it completely lacks a comic relief character or a positive ending, both of which US cartoons would have to keep children interested.
162	** In ''Dinosaur Adventure'' there's the fact that the narrator and the characters themselves constantly mention their coming across the dead corpses of their neighbors after the volcano. Also, [[spoiler:meat eating]] is treated unsubtly like cannibalism.
163	** Kree threatening to basically assault Peek after the ''ankylosaurus'' snitched on who was responsible for Tio's fall and concussion.
164	--->'''Kree:''' Wait until I catch you in a dark corner, you'll get a damn good beating!
165	** In ''Lord of the Jungle'', Dregon refers to Tarzan/Lord as "completely retarded". This movie came out in 1999, when the word "retarded" was often used as a regular insult, but it's now considered an outright slur towards those with mental disabilities.
166	* ViewerGenderConfusion:
167	** Robin and Mew-Mew are both supposed to be male, but the pair of them have rather feminine voices -- the latter especially. The fact that "Robin" is a gender-neutral name really doesn't help.
168	** The judge in ''Hunchback of the Notre Dame'' has a voice and face that makes him look like an elderly bald woman.
169	* VillainDecay: Over the course of ''Anastasia'', Rasputin goes from a genuinely threatening villain who personally kills nearly the entire royal family to a bumbling fool whose schemes are continually thwarted by the heroes as well as his own stupidity.
170	* WatchItForTheMeme: Fans of WebVideo/{{Phelous}} will be watching ''Lion and the King'' for "My god!"
171	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Despite supposedly being made for children, the films contain a surprising amount of swearing and sexual jokes and innuendo. Some of it is due to ValuesDissonance.
