These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
"Be Prepared" (no, not THAT one), for the most part.
Complete Monster: Boingo/The Goodie Bandit. Yes, it's hinted he may have his reasons, but his plan was to make people addicted to his goodies just to make himself more successful, and he had no problems running people out of business and literally blowing them away. Not only that, he had no problems trying to outright kill Red, who's just a teenager. He never shows any remorse for any of this, either.
The makers of the second movie did waaaay too well with Hansel and Gretel. For starters, they have no stated reason to try and destroy everyone, and are after the truffles to accomplish this, and would have no problem killing Red... or even an entire town just to get the snack. They show no remorse over injuring (or even killing) anyone, lampshading how senseless they're acting and laughing about it. Hansel, at one point, comments about nearly destroying a presumably loaded school bus and says he'll kill it next time. Dang, someone would make Lotso have standards, and have really creepy laughter andSlasher Smile.
Critical Dissonance: The first volume was enjoyed more by the general audience than critics.
First Installment Wins: An obvious case seeing that the first movie is a financial success and also well-received by many critics and people alike though most reviews are mixed.
"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The line about how they don't arrest people just for being creepy isn't as funny now that Chris Handly got arrested.
Misaimed Marketing: Burger King spent two weeks promoting the sequel with Kids Club Meal toys before realizing the movie wasn't even out yet, and wouldn't be for several more months. OOPS!
Uncanny Valley: Arguably most of the human characters; done deliberately with the German kids who follow the schnitzel truck. Less so for Red and Granny.
Deliberate: According to Word Of God, they were emulating the old stop-motion Rankin/Bass TV specials.
