History YMMV / ChildsPlay2019

* WTHCastingAgency: A number of critics have noted that Gabriel Bateman, who was 13 while shooting the movie, comes across as too old to be receiving a Buddi doll for a present. The film does address this - Karen gets Andy (his character) a defective one from her work after seeing a meme of Buddi on Andy's phone and assumes he likes it, not because he actually wants one. Andy even notes it's more a gift for a baby after unwrapping it.

* MemeticMutation: [=#NotMyChucky=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Creator/JenniferTilly [[DisownedAdaptation voiced her negative opinion about the remake]], many fans who grew up with the previous movies also parroted the hashtag to show their disapproval as well.[[/labelnote]]
* OlderThanTheyThink: While some fans are upset by the fact that Chucky isn't possessed, that idea actually isn't far off from the original script that Don Mancini wrote before reinventing it into to the original movie. The original script was called Bloody Buddy, where synthetic blood was placed into the doll and Andy mixed his blood with Chucky's, making a blood brotherhood. This isn't too different from the new movie with Chucky being a rogue A.I. who developed murderous tendencies.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Tim Matheson is the fourth actor from the ''Film/DirtyHarry'' film series to appear in a ''Franchise/ChildsPlay'' installment. Andrew Robinson, who played Scorpio in ''Film/DirtyHarry'', Lois Foraker, who had a minor uncredited FanserviceExtra role as Hot Mary in ''Dirty Harry'' and Justin Whalin, who had a bit part in ''Film/TheDeadPool'', all appeared in ''Film/ChildsPlay3'' as Sgt. Botnick, Sgt. Frazier and Andy Barclay respectively, while Matheson, who played Henry Kaslan in the reboot, had previously played one of the villainous vigilante cops in ''Film/MagnumForce''.
** Creator/MarkHamill previously played Chucky in various sketches for ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''. Now, he's voicing the character in something that is not a parody. Adding to the hilarity is that one of those sketches is Chucky vaguely remembering what his origin was, as the reboot has a completely different one. Adding ''more'' to the hilarity is that Mark Hamill ''forgot'' that he voiced Chucky.
** This is the [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity third]] [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight time]] where Mark Hamill's character sings a creepy song during the end credits.
** The heroine being a [[SoulSuckingRetailJob retail worker]] named Karen, in light of the {{meme|ticMutation}} in which that name became associated with {{Obnoxious Entitled Housewi|fe}}ves who harass retail workers. While Karen was also a clerk in the original film, this one focuses on her interactions with terrible customers, whereas the original just showed her as overworked by a BadBoss.

** "[[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IqXam8hx4Yw The Buddi Song]]", the end credits theme of the movie, sounds like an [[TastesLikeDiabetes overly saccharine]] tune about ThePowerOfFriendship at first glance. However, the lyrics offer clever and frightening {{Foreshadowing}} about the lengths that Chucky will go to [[{{Yandere}} make sure that Andy will be his only friend]].

* UncannyValley: Somehow this version of Chucky is even more disturbing than the ''Of Chucky'' mutilated original, at least the good guy dolls actually looked like something you would buy a kid, Buddis look closer to badly made [[Series/{{Thunderbirds}} Anderson-era]] puppets.
