->''Even if we completely ignore everything in the film that could be attributed to budgetary issues, like if you didn't give a shit about anything except trying to teach kids morality, is it not fair criticism to call the movie out on its failure to deliver those morals? If you're gonna have Cool Cat say to look both ways before crossing, you might not wanna show him darting into the middle of the fucking road less than two minutes after saying it.''

Is "getting arrested" not comeuppance?

* One scene has one of Cool Cat's friends nearly get hit by a car, which of course leads to a lecture about how you should always look both ways when crossing the street. Then, in the ''very next scene'', Butch the Bully appears on the other side of the street with candy that he just stole from babies, and Cool Cat runs after him across the street without looking both ways.
* One of the film's main messages is to tell an adult about bullying or if you find a gun. That's all very well, except AdultsAreUseless is in play throughout the entire film. Erik Estrada and Creator/VivicaAFox do absolutely nothing to prevent Butch from bullying Cool Cat at Vivica's house. Creator/DerekSavage himself endangers the kids unnecessarily by making them walk home on their own while there's someone on the loose who's threatening people with a gun. And Butch's parents are told that their son has a gun and yet do nothing to stop him bringing it to school.
* Despite the film having an anti-bullying message, Butch never gets any comeuppance for being a bully. The only punishments he gets are the two arrests, which are for stealing candy and for possessing a gun. That and Cool Cat yelling at him, if that even counts as a punishment.

* Some of the morals are just plain untrue. For example, the movie teaches that you shouldn't be a bully because bullies have no friends. In real life it's much more likely for the victims to be the ones with no friends, while the bullies are often popular and work in groups.
* The film also says that bullies don't like attention and so you should shout at them to get them to go away. This is the exact opposite of what you should do, as bullies usually want a reaction from their target. Cool Cat's hysterical "Leave us alone right naaaaaaoooow!" would have been just what Butch was looking for and would have kept him coming back for more.

* The remake, ''Cool Cat Kids Superhero'', has a scene where Cool Cat finds a lollipop lying around and sings a song about how yummy it is, but then decides he "doesn't want candy" and puts it back without eating it. This is potentially meant to provide a moral about healthy eating, but Cool Cat never gives any reason why he shouldn't eat candy, making it come across as DoNotDoThisCoolThing. There's also the obvious issue with the supposed children's safety mascot deciding to eat some unwrapped food that was left lying about for who knows how long.

'''Cool Cat Kids
* A new scene adds a pro-recycling message where Cool Cat talks about how much he loves to recycle cans and bottles. This is then broken by one of the original scenes, where Cool Cat is playing "treasure hunters" and finds a can in the bushes, and decides to just leave it there rather than recycling it.

'''Film/CoolCatFightsCoronavirus'''
* Cool Cat manages to give some kids some surprisingly good advice about social distancing and wearing masks. The problem is, they stick to these rules for about ten seconds before abandoning them completely. Cool Cat doesn't wear a mask for the entire film, one of the girls takes her mask off to perform a rap song, and they all come in for a group hug at the end. That, and [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine Cool Cat supposedly ended the pandemic by punching COVID so hard that it exploded]], so should we still worry about it or not?
* The film contains the rather shoehorned message "Respect other people's opinions and beliefs about coronavirus". Ignoring whether or not this message is even appropriate, it's completely undermined because the only character in the film who thinks COVID is a hoax is an asshole who goes around deliberately infecting people ForTheEvulz (despite him apparently not believing in COVID in the first place).
