Line #10 YMMV/TheMagicVoyage


1	* AccidentalAesop: The ending scene seems to imply that a big city with skyscrapers is a lot nicer to have than a peaceful-looking, natural forest area.
2	* AmericansHateTingle: In Germany, this film was rather well-received. Western audiences were much less forgiving to it, though, in no small part thanks to its DerangedAnimation and questionable English dub.
3	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
4	** There are several good examples, but especially the dream sequence and the song Columbus sings on the accordion.
5	** The song from the beginning of the movie counts as well. It starts out as an average PowerOfFriendship song... until a woman selling pies, a random kid, and a horse get their own verses, too.
6	* CultClassic: While it's generally seen as a bad film, at least in the Anglosphere, it has developed a significant enough cult following to warrant a DVD release.
7	* FightSceneFailure: In the palace, there is a terrible fight scene where a few of the Swarm Lord's minions try to grab Princess Marilyn while Pico limply swings back and forth on a rope trying to swat at them.
8	* NightmareFuel:
9	** Some of the images in Columbus' dream are a little too bizarre for their own good. Including one part where he seemingly pulls a telescope out of his ''crotch'', complete with it [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything extending out like an erect penis]].
10	** The Swarm Lord can be pretty unsettling at times, especially when he's attacking the ship.
11	** [[KillItWithWater Marilyn drowning on-screen]] in real-time and in surprisingly graphic detail; complete with her blacking out, visibly inhaling a lungful of water, and sinking; her lifeless body eventually being found by a distraught Pico. Had it not been ''solely'' for her Sun-based revival out of nowhere, [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath she legitimately would have died that way]].
12	* SoBadItsGood: Between the ludicrous historical inaccuracy, slapdash dub and clichéd characters, it loops back around and becomes a fun experiment in deciphering just who in their right mind thought any of this was a good idea. It does have positive reviews from some fond nostalgic viewers nonetheless. The original version was actually well-received in its native Germany, where its myriad flaws were evidently considered [[NarmCharm charming more than anything else]].
13	* TearJerker: Marilyn's DisneyDeath, in which she drowns on-screen and comes within a hair's breadth of legitimately dying. Her first meeting with Pico when she reveals in length what the Swarm Lord has done to her and her people, TryingNotToCry all the while, is also quite emotional.
14	* ValuesDissonance: A meta-example. There aren't any offensive ideas promoted by the film or questionable deeds by the leads but rather the extent of the HistoricalHeroUpgrade that Christopher Columbus undergoes compared to his RealLife counterpart. Not only is Columbus portrayed as a goofy good guy with his RealLife counterpart's flaws downplayed or even outright excised, he plays a significant role in the defeat of the Swarm Lord, saving a Native American civilization in the process. In the 21st century, the awareness of Columbus' deeds in the Americas as a ruthless colonizer --- or even an outright genocidal monster -- would become a lot more prevalent among the general public in America and elsewhere, which means his characterization and actions in this movie would be far more controversial if it came out today.
15	* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Aside from multiple instances of suggestive imagery and innuendos (most infamously the ''[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext penis telescope]]''), the film also contains an attempted hanging and a surprisingly graphic near-drowning, both entirely onscreen. Also, a possible attempt on Columbus' life [[FridgeHorror that was suggested by the evil adviser when he comes back]] and a mutiny that is played seriously. Also there is a scene where it looks as if Christopher Columbus and the Queen are drunk.
