YMMV / Amazing Animals

• Adorkable: Henry himself is a lovable little reptilian doofus. Being a gecko helps.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In Underground Animals, in search of his white rabbit, Henry sees 3 doors, and says that the rabbit must have gone through one of them. The episode then breaks into a narrator-run gameshow, where he shouts "Yes, Henry! but was it door number 1, door number 2, or door number 3?"
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • In the episode "Scary Animals," one scene has Henry wandering in the dark until he bumps into a mirror and panics before the narrator tells him it's only his reflection. Henry, relieved, walks away, but much to the narrator's shock, the reflection remains. As the narrator tries to tell Henry, the reflection looks right at him (and us), its eyes turn red and its skin turns black, and it laughs in a demonic voice "Creatures of the night..." The narrator is rightly scared out of his wits. And no, there is no explanation for why and how this happened, and it never comes up again. One of the scarier parts of that scene is not the "creatures of the night" bit, it's right afterwards when the reflection shifts back to 'normal', staring ominously at the screen without saying a word, while he slowly fades away into nothingness...
  • Most of Endangered Animals isn't traditionally scary, though the topic could be quite triggering to some. Perhaps the most 'traditionally' scary moment comes in the narrator's correction to Henry's report later in the episode, where the former talks about the Passenger Pigeon's extinction. As the narrator is talking in one part, what is shown is footage of guns being shot overlayed over footage of birds flying from trees, to illustrate the events leading up to the extinction of the pigeon. The melancholic harp music doesn't help much either..
  • One could say that very little of Polar Animals is traditionally scary, apart from the finale. Henry intends taking an iceberg of all things home as a souvenir, as to have snow anytime he pleases. The iceberg proves too big for his Husky companion to pull, however, leaving Henry stranded on an iceberg in the North Pole, as an ominous cliffhanger.
