** No, because the box doesn't generate a new human cookie every time a person changes into a different animal. If it did, Horatio's threat to destroy Owen's human cookie would have been meaningless.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Even before the rules of the magic animal crackers are firmly established, it's fairly easy to figure out that [[spoiler:Old Blue and Zena are actually Owen's uncle and aunt in animal form just by [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair their designs]] and actions alone.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "[[https://youtu.be/aoYC_ZNT4PU Could've Been Mine]]" is a catchy and epic jazz fusion song with the energy of some of Disney's most bombastic {{Villain Song}}s. In the song, Horatio establishes his GreenEyedMonster motivations while hamming it up in an almost Creator/TimCurry-esque way, despite being voiced by Creator/IanMcKellen. He also gets some hilarious dialogue with his henchman Mario Zucchini in the song. Also, the creator hired a real barbershop quartet just for ''one quick gag'' in the song, where the quartet repeats one of Horatio's lines and he gets frustrated with them.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The movie generally got a luke-warm reception, saying that the concept is good and the animation servicable, but the story was uninspired.

** The "wanting to take over the world" thing really only amounts to one line. Maybe he was just saying things in desparation caused by a VillainousBreakdown.
** Or maybe he didn't mean he literally intended to TakeOverTheWorld, but ''figuratively'' take it over (as in, becoming such a famous celebrity that everyone in the world would know him,) which is in line with what his goal was all along.

* FridgeLogic: Chesterfield explains near the end that since Horatio's henchmen [[spoiler:ate broken cookies to become MixAndMatchCritters, their human cookies are also broken, and the henchmen can't return to their original forms until Chesterfield figures out which cookie pieces go together.]] However, Owen had just [[spoiler:given Horatio, who was previously a hybrid creature, a whole hamster cookie, turning Horatio into a hamster]]. Wouldn't that mean that [[spoiler:Horatio now had a whole human cookie again, and that they could fix the henchmen's human cookies by giving them whole animal cookies too?]]

Chesterfield. Especially for being voiced by Creator/DannyDeVito.Creator/DannyDeVito.
** Brock is quite well-liked, again [[Creator/PatrickWarburton his actor]] helps. Also, he's prominently featured in [[spoiler:a memorable scene of him turning into a mandrill]]. Plenty found him more interesting as an antagonist than Horatio.


Added DiffLines:

* TheScrappy: It's widely agreed that [[BigBad Horatio]] is the weakest part of the film, considering how quickly he changes from someone [[GreenEyedMonster who is merely jealous of his brother's successes]] to a bland TakeOverTheWorld villain. It's obvious that the writers ''tried'' to make him interesting, but his development was just too flat for many.
* SignatureScene: The scene where Owen first eats a cracker, turning into a hamster. Considering how much it's featured in advertising, it's easily the most well-known scene from the movie.
* SlowPacedBeginning: It takes around ''half an hour'' before the titular snack is used for the first time.

That's not why the film hasn't been released.
