YMMV: Little Monsters
  • Designated Hero: Brian, as Something Awful had noted in its review:
    reviewer: Brian, like most kids, finds himself getting into trouble that he should not be getting into; though later on we find out that he does things that he should be getting in trouble for.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: When the kids are scolded by their parents due to Brian and Maurice's pranks. Nobody was laughing, because of how harsh the scene was. It goes From Bad to Worse.
    • Who honestly thought this would be funny?
    • Worse, one of the kids looks disabled and another look around four. Unfortunate Implications ahoy...
  • Nightmare Fuel: The movie is relatively free of scary imagery, right up until the scene where Snik suddenly pulls a kid's head off his shoulders and tosses it in a basket.
    • The special award for this goes to Boy, the leader of the monsters. His human child form is creepy and unsettling all by itself but when his face comes off... *shudders*
  • Special Effect Failure:
    • The CG shooting stars occasionally flying around the monster world, which were added to try to make it look otherworldly, but failing.
      • It appears to be implied near the end (after they kill Snik) that the shooting stars are either the souls of the monsters or their energy.
    • Snik's wig slightly sliding up his head in one scene.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The movie starts out as a kid exploring the world of monsters, it soon suffers from a case of severe Dude, Not Funny! pranks and humor.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Swearing, gory deaths, and verbal abuse. You know, for kids!
