YMMV / Peter and the Wolf

• Broken Aesop: Peter is told by his grandfather NOT to go outside because the Wolf might get him. In the end Peter is taken inside, but when the wolf arrives: guess who does go outside and saves the day? So... er... what's the moral of the story again? Lampshaded when the grandfather muses "What if Peter hadn't caught the wolf''," implying that he's embarrassed by how wrong he was.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Bob the Janitor, who doesn't exist in the original but is a popular character from Weird Al's parody of the tale.
• Fridge Horror: Invoked in nearly all the versions by the duck's fate, but the 2006 version is a special kind of horror if you know the wolf's backstory. She's a female trying to find food for her pups. The first solid food mama wolves feed their pups is the regurgitated, half-digested remains of their hunts. That poor duck...
• Nightmare Fuel: The Wolf, particularly in the Disney version.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley: There is one adaptation of Peter and the Wolf (the one narrated by Sting) where a number of characters in the first and third acts ("Peter and the Wolf" and "March in B Flat Major", respectively) are played by puppets. The animal puppets used for the bird, duck, wolf◊, etc. are odd-looking enough as it is, but the puppets used for the humans (such as Sting◊ (as the narrator) and the conductor◊) are... downright terrifying. But then again, these were made by the same company who made the puppets for Spitting Image, so it’s not suprising.
