They talk excitedly about their roles and describe the [[SpecialEffectFailure top-notch special effects]] this movie "pioneered". ([[TookTheBadFilmSeriously They were proud of their baby, in other words.]])[[/note]] As the movie had time to settle down, though, the film has been somewhat VindicatedByHistory; reactions have progressed to mostly mixed and [[CriticalBacklash many don't see it as bad as it was made it out to be when it was released]], citing it at least as a nice love letter to old school cartoons (particularly those of Creator/TexAvery and Creator/BobClampett). Alan Cumming's portrayal of Loki was also applauded.

* SadlyMythtaken: Odin and Loki are not father and son in Myth/NorseMythology, they are bond brothers. It's such a huge mistake that just might as well admit the writers just didn't care. They're second cousins at most. And Loki would not have fooled Odin by telling him Balder was coming back because Balder is [[DeadToBeginWith dead]]... because Loki killed him (indirectly, but still).

''Son of the Mask'' is the 2005 sequel to the 1994 Creator/JimCarrey [[FantasticComedy fantasy comedy]] ''Film/TheMask'', which was itself based on the [[ComicBook/TheMask Dark Horse Comics series of the same name]] about a magical green mask that gives [[RealityWarper strange, almost unlimited powers]] to anybody who wears it, but also causes them to lose all their inhibitions and self-control. The violent tone of the comics was toned down in the first film adaptation to suit Carrey's comedy stylings, so fans clamoring for a more loyal adaptation were displeased even more when ''Son of the Mask'' reduced the style further, to the point of making it [[LighterAndSofter family-oriented]].
