** Professor Browne, after turning himself into a rabbit to rescue Miss Price and the Children from the Nazis is seen speaking the line "Jumping Jehoshaphat, more Jerries," when scouting two Nazis outside the castle, with his rabbit body noticeably mouthing the words. Not once did he or the many other characters turned into rabbits demonstrate the ability to speak, weather too themselves or to others, often just acting like the animal they have been turned into. And again after the scene, Professor Browne returns to acting like a rabbit, no speech, until he turns back into a man.

* {{Narm}}: Ian Weighill's acting as Charlie. His delivery of most of his lines don't just play up the stuffy self-seriousness of his character, but sound very slow and stilted even when the lines themselves aren't really calling for that sort of delivery. Since he is a child, it's a bit understandable.

** The armored executioner is by far the scariest of the animated armors. That thing is almost eight feet tall, with terrifying helm displaying an uncanny... face, slowly marching towards the Nazis and the camera, wielding a very big ax. This giant armor is not played for laughs. One look at this armored monster’s face, and even the Nazi Colonel drops his bravado and books it.

Adding that terrifying armored executioner to the nightmare fuel. That thing marching behind the colonel would make a good nightmare fuel image, especially that face.

* BrokenBase: Between people who prefer the 117 minute "general release version" and the 139 minute "25th Anniversary reconstructed version". People who prefer the longer cut argue that it was closer to the version that the film makers originally intended the movie to be [[ExecutiveMeddling before they were forced to cut it down]]; while people who prefer the shorter cut argue that [[ProtectionFromEditors it removes unnecessary scenes and makes the film's narrative work better]], and that the [[TheOtherDarrin redubbed voices]] (necessitated by lost vocal tracks) are jarring. Frustratingly, while Disney currently sells both cuts on DVD, they don't sell a set that contains both of them, leaving people to choose whether to buy a DVD of the 25th Anniversary Edition[[note]]referred to on the case as the "Enchanted Musical Edition"[[/note]] by itself, or the theatrical cut in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack.

** The simple fact that a Nazi occupation of Britain - by the dreaded Waffen SS, no less - makes up much of the second half of the movie. [[spoiler: Part of Eglantine's house is even destroyed by a grenade in the battle scene.]] These scenes can be nightmarish, even as Disneyfied as it was depicted.

** The Portobello road sequence drags on quite a while and seems to have no greater link to the story than to display different cultures dancing. By the end of it, you might have forgotten why the heroes even stopped in. This is made worse by the expanded edition of the film, which drags the song sequence out to a full ten minutes in length.

Quite a bit of that length is the merchants and groups of soldiers from all over the British Empire getting into an improvised DanceOff, each with their own arrangement of the tune to fit their style.
