YMMV / George's Island

• Accidental Innuendo: When George's grandfather meets Bonnie for the first time, he calls her a "Bonnie lass with a bony ass!"
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The part during the climax where the Ghost Pirate clan and Droonfield do a dance on the island comes very much out of nowhere and doesn't really contribute much of substance other than some over the top goofiness that is quickly forgotten once the plot decides to resume.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The Beanes are horrible and self-centered people who seem to take on foster children simply because it amounts to a second form of income, and lock any children they do foster in their basement while severely underfeeding them to save money and revoking what little privileges they DO have at the slightest inconvenience. Heck, they don't even bother to learn their foster children's names and refer to them simply as 1 or 2 depending on the room they happen to be assigned. Despite being played for laughs the Beanes are still a pretty terrifying example of worries in an otherwise light-hearted family film.
  • Grandpa's costume for Halloween is a massive disembodied eyeball that fits over his wheelchair and eerily glides down the sidewalks. While it's definitely not what one would call realistic it's still a pretty gruesome sight, especially given that the back of the eyeball isn't just white but is blood red and dragging its optic nerves. It could still fall into the category of Nightmare Retardant for some though as it is not exactly what one would call realistic and is then used as a means of escape for both George and Bonnie.
  • For as goofy as they can be the Ghost Pirate crew is also pretty darn scary, especially once they make it clear to the protagonists just how much power they actually have.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: A late 80's Canadian family film about a young boy and his grandfather who ultimately go searching for Captain Kidd's buried treasure on the titular island, but not before getting embroiled in a custody battle that involves George temporarily going to live with a horrendously abusive foster family who take on foster children solely as a second form of income, George and his friend escaping the family by means of his grandfather hiding them in his Halloween costume which is a giant bloody eyeball, and then very nearly getting murdered by the band of ghost pirates after digging up the treasure. Heck, the prologue of the movie shows the burying of the treasure itself along with the decapitated corpse of one of Kidd's crew. Said decapitation is shown on-screen, along with both the head and body tumbling into the hole, after which Kidd then shoots his remaining crew.
