Line #14 YMMV/TheWubbulousWorldofDrSeuss


1	* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The Screaming Greebles (later renamed to The Annoying Greebles in ''The Birthday Moose''), creatures who appear in the Season 1, can certainly be frightening with their skeleton appearances and their chanting.
2	* {{Anvilicious}}: The second season has even more explicit morals than in the Creator/DrSeuss books (which already don't deliver them gently), either through musical numbers or by using them as key driving forces in its plots.
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Both theme songs are very catchy.
4	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The end of "The Grinch Meets His Max / Halfway Home To Malamaroo", it's revealed that inside of the story-telling machine is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wg.png a strange person]] who was running the machine the whole time. The Cat in the Hat quickly says "See you next time", and the episode ends. This comes right out of nowhere and this person never appears again.
5	* BrokenBase: Which season is supreme? Season one or season two?
6	* CultClassic: The show had a very short run of just 40 episodes over two seasons and has been [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain forgotten almost entirely]], but it's still amassed somewhat of a cult following.
7	* EndingFatigue: PlayedForLaughs in "Halfway Home To Malamaroo", where after [[ALessonLearnedTooWell teaching Alvin the joy of finishing things]], the cast must then fuel his ship and endure ''three'' different {{Triumphant Reprise}}s of his previous musical number.
8	* HarsherInHindsight: In "Almost There", Fox in Socks and Mr. Knox go through hell at a travel center to claim the vacation they won. Not so funny after 9/11 complicated air travel worldwide.
9	* JerkassWoobie:
10	** 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.
11	** 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. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for the second season, in which his goal to be king of everything is [[{{Retcon}} completely forgotten]].
12	* QuestionableCasting: In the show's second season, Tim Lagasse voiced Junior Kangaroo, giving him a more mature-sounding voice than Kathryn Mullen did in the first season.
13	* QuirkyWork: The entire show can count as this. Now you know what "Wubbulous" means. For instance, the Season 1 intro has things like a car, a chair, and a hot air balloon (which has the Cat in the Hat laughing) floating in space. Justified, given that the show is done in Creator/DrSeuss' distinctive style.
14	* RetroactiveRecognition: Several:
15	** Little Cat B, Jane Kangaroo, Sue Snue, Sarah Hall-Small, and various other characters were performed by Stephanie D'Abruzzo, who had been a Muppet performer on ''Series/SesameStreet'' for a few years before this series premiered. Just a few years later, D'Abruzzo would gain greater national fame for her roles in the Tony Award-winning musical ''Theatre/AvenueQ''.
16	** In season two, Little Cat A and Morton the Elephant Bird were performed by Leslie Carrara. Several years later, Carrara would develop and perform the character Abby Cadabby on ''Series/SesameStreet''.
17	** Also during season two, Junior Kangaroo and Fox in Socks were performed by Tim Lagasse. Lagasse's other credits include ''Series/BetweenTheLions'', ''Series/{{Oobi}}'', ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites'', ''Series/ItsABigBigWorld'', and ''Series/CrashAndBernstein''.
18	* SpecialEffectFailure: Being mid-to-late 1990s era CGI animation, the superimposed 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).
19	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: After the first season, the show underwent a drastic shift to try to compete with the Jim Henson Company's big hit at the time, ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'', thanks to focus group testing. This change resulted in the show retconning elements previously established in the source material (one good example being that Little Cat Z, carried over from ''The Cat in the Hat Comes Back'', is now visible and possesses a hipster attitude), as well as multiple characters being [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]]--for example, the Cat in the Hat became more of a nurturing 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.
