History YMMV / TheLittleMole

* HilariousInHindsight: One of the characters is a little blue hedgehog. Decades later, VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog would hit the markets on June 23, 1991.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks!: People usually prefer the longer, more varied episodes before "The Mole and the Clock". After that episode (which is the longest at 38 minutes), the series kept the simpler art style and the parts became shorter again, with more generic plots. Also, the mole no longer ends up in different places (expect a tropical beach in one episode) and everything takes place in the forest. The changed art style, with the mole being drawn with a thicker body, and the simplified soundtrack were also criticised. .

These episodes still have some amazing ones but also house the more controversial ones like the one where the mole almost dies in a car crass.

* NightmareFuel: From the mole's point of view, the scene in "Mole and the TV" where the mole is confronted with an advertisement for a mole-killing chemical. The ad itself shows the chemical at work (fortunately not the direct effect on the mole, but it still shows that [[WingedSoulFliesOffatDeath it's pretty lethal to him]]). The eerie synth music doesn't help either. At least the unintelligible speech of the advertiser works as a NightmareRetardant.

* NightmareFuel: Largely averted, but there are still moments that may frighten small children.

* SoBadItsHorrible: The hungarian dubbed version of the later episodes in the DVD releases. The characters rarely speeking was an intentional choice so that it could be enjoyed not only by Czechoslovak children, but by everyone in the world (even by hungarians where the cartoon was already beloved). The hungarian dub it's an completely lazy attempt to make the cartoon more localised. Although the original voices of the characters still can be heard, the silence between the voices filled with additional hungarian voiceovers, that stick out and completely spoils the whole mood of the series.

* MemeticMutation: [[InherentlyFunnyWords "Chamomila ?"]] - the RunningGag of Krtek asking foreign characters whether a particular plant he's holding at the moment is the ''chamomila'' that he so desperately seeks in order to help cure his friend, the Little Mouse. Those scenes come across all the more funnier due to Krtek always posing the question in his polite, cutely child-like voice.

** and then the mole literally kills two rodents (he sends his robot to call a cat, who then grabs the rodents, they never appear again in later episodes) in the episode "The mole and the robot". Okay they stole his robot but it's quite an overkill from him.

** In another episode the mole steals a melon from a vendor. But also he and his friends abuse the vendor who rightly ran after them. Not only that but the episode ends with the critters laughting at the man after his cart gets destroyed.
