YMMV / PJ Sparkles

  • Alternative Character Interpretation:
    • There's hints that Mrs. O'Malley may know about the Wishing Star and PJ's destiny, as she says goodbye to her as she leaves and tells her there's something extraordinary waiting for her soon. The fact that she has the same voice actress as the Crown, a part of the Wishing Star, adds to this, but it's never explicitly confirmed or denied.
    • Cracked posits the Wishing Star is a neglectful or even malevolent deity given the children of Twinkle Town wished for untold time for someone to love them, and when they get their wish PJ now lives on their love, meaning they have to love her unquestioningly to stay happy and PJ herself will die without love.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The Sparklins Pets were a minor part of the toyline and didn't get individual names, but are very popular for their kidcore aesthetics and rarity.
  • Fridge Horror:
    • As this Cracked article points out, there's a lot of unanswered questions and horrific implications for PJ's origins and powers, especially how she lives on love and will die without it.
    P.J.'s very existence depends on how much love the children give her. So, unless she can manage to bring the children back under her thumb, P.J. will die. And unless they follow P.J. adoringly, the kids better get used to a dark existence trapped in Twinkle Town forever.
    • The Cloak and Betty's Malice Mist nearly kills PJ and ruins Twinkle Town, and the only reason it doesn't is because of Peter, who accidentally tagged along from Earth and wasn't hit by the mist. There's nothing stopping the bad guys from just doing the whole thing again once he leaves.
  • The Scrappy: Not many people like the villains, particularly Betty, for being superfluous to the plot and needlessly gross.
