YMMV / The Fearless Four

• Awesome Music: Most of the songs in this movie are actually quite good (if exceptionally hard to access). "Powertool" for instance is a bombastic rock song performed by Frank Zander in the original German dub and Kevin Dorsley in the English one.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: More like 'Creepy Singing Robot Centaur Moment'. "Power Tool" comes right the hell out of nowhere and makes no sense even by the standards of the movie, features a CGI centaur stuck so deep in the Unintentional Uncanny Valley it's established a permanent mailing address there, and vanishes like a puff of smoke before the first fifteen minutes of the movie are even done.
• Complete Monster: Dr. Greed is the evil tyrant leader of Bremen and CEO of the corrupt, animal-abusing MixMax corporation. When the Fearless Four roll into town with their tunes—music is outlawed in Bremen—Dr. Greed gets the idea to use them in propaganda, making them sing songs promoting his insidious sausage-making machines. Dr. Greed grinds up hundreds of sentient animals into meat to make his profit, kills his own minions, and in the original German version, he openly plans to purge everyone in Bremen not capitulated to his rule after having already murdered his political rivals.
• Cult Classic: Has a bit of a following and even an animation source fansite in the 2000's, though in recent years it is mostly ironic in nature.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In a part of the movie, Tortellini, a rooster, ends up inside a food machine (the Mix Max sausage machine, namely) and manages to escape alive from it, just like what would happen to another rooster three years later.
  • In general, this movie is about four characters who attempt to do a cheerful trip together only to end up being the only ones that can stop a corporation that produces robots. Speaking of robots, there's also a giant robot that has a small scene dedicated to it. Apart from that, a character in the main team can gain a boost in their strength and stamina when enraged. Sound familiar?
  • The movie is a modern spin on a classic fairy tale that has the main characters being exploited for entertainment and forced to sing a propagandistic song in favor of a dictatorial figure. Later, those characters rebel themselves by rewriting said song so that it puts the figure in shame publicly. Hmm...
  • The Power Tool's face and headwear makes him look a little similar to N. Tropy from the Crash Bandicoot games, although N. Tropy was introduced in the third game, which came out a year after this movie.
• Memetic Mutation: The Spanish version of the Centaur's song has become somewhat infamous in Hispanic animation communities.
• Narm Charm: Obviously Evil villains, over the top Anvilicious animal rights messages, and the main characters being very obvious stereotypical archetypes, yet it is surprisingly charming, the characters aren't bland (though not particularly memorable either), and the soundtrack is generally quite good.
• Nightmare Fuel: While the villains aren't particularly scary, there are some legitimately creepy scenes, most notably in regards to the sausage machine and the "monster" that the main characters form to intimidate the villains.
• Signature Scene: The robot centaur's single appearance is generally considered the film's most memorable scene due to its sheer bizarreness. It also helps that its Villain Song, "Power Tool," is surprisingly catchy.
• Squick: Gwen, a cat - not an anthropomorphic Funny Animal one mind you, but a Nearly Normal Animal cat - outright tries to seduce a human with a song.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The robot centaur brought in to replace Fred. It has a human face—a computer-animated one, made during a time when CGI had yet to be fully polished or well-integrated with traditional animation, the lack of Cel Shading made it look out of place in the 2D world and one that looks hideously terrifying every time the camera goes in for a close-up.
