** The Cool Cat [[https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/0Qjw9tsc9o0EaR85YffAMJlY6YrEcU1FfNmr-lSMpsM.png head]] can be really creepy when viewed from certain angles.
** Every single closeup of Momma Cat is very unnerving, as fake lipstick and eyelashes are just slapped onto the Cool Cat costume head.
** The film's portrayal of Cool Cat as an AllLovingHero comes off as unintentionally creepy and unsettling. He's ostensibly a child but is played by (and ''looks'' like) a grown man, which gives weirdly pedophilic undertones to every scene where he interacts with young children.

*** The dialogue doesn't help matters either. While in most films, an AccidentalInnuendo is funny, many of Cool Cat's lines here contribute to his reputation as a MemeticMolester.

** Good ''god'', the sun and moon animation.

** [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61svaqOvmYL._SX200_QL80_.jpg The original cover for the YMS cut]]. There's a very creepy ''"I'm coming to getcha!"'' look on Cool Cat's face...
** At one point during the sandbox scene, Cool Cat's eyebrows change to ensure he looks angry. And, as you may have guessed, it looks creepy and unsettling. Not to mention the crew didn't do anything to alter Cool Cat's grin, so rather than just looking upset, Cool Cat looks [[SlasherSmile crazed and unhinged]]. Not only that, but the brows are in that position in the wide shot before Butch walks up, making it look like Cool Cat is royally pissed off about building sandcastles.
** When [[AuthorAvatar Daddy Derek]] flirts with Momma Cat. From the looks of it, it's supposed to be cute and charming but [[InterspeciesRomance given the circumstances]], it instead comes off as [[{{Squick}} creepy and unsettling]].[[note]]To make it [[FromBadToWorse even worse]], Cool Cat's actor Jason Johnson revealed in an interview that Derek Savage had repeatedly harassed Momma Cat's voice actress April Berry for dates, where she repeatedly blew him off. Then when she invited Jason to use her shower after the final day of shooting, Derek busted into the house [[NotWhatItLooksLike under the assumption that something was going on between the two]] and Berry refused to ever work with him since. Yikes.[[/note]]
** Cool Cat's dream sequence, because of his eyes being open when trying to sleep, it looks like he is tripping out on hallucinogens or suffering from SanitySlippage.
** Cool Cat and his friends finding a gun in the backyard, [[FridgeHorror which makes you think why a gun would be lying there in the first place]].
** In WebVideo/{{Bobsheaux}}'s review of the book, he pointed out how Cool Cat's father, a cat, is also named 'Daddy Derek'. Who Derek Savage played in the movie. Let that sink in.
** Butch the Bully, a kid who can't be more than ten, wielding a gun. The implications abound considering all the cases of [[AxesAtSchool school shootings]] in the past couple of decades. How did Savage think for a second that taking the story in this direction was even in the same zip code as tasteful?
