This feels very TIL when this is not an unknown fact. Hospitals are where you go to get better. The occasional accidental transmission of disease doesn't change the lesson. Deleting an "averted" example. YMMV can't be played with


* NotSoCrazyAnymore: One installment of ''Toy Hospital'' revolves around a toy who doesn't want to be taken to the toy hospital because she's afraid she'll get sick there. The other toys reassure her that she has nothing to worry about, as a hospital is a place to help you get better, not someplace where you'll get sick. However, in the real world there's been a deepening public health crisis involving antibiotic-resistant infections people have picked up while staying in hospitals. In fact, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital-acquired_infection Wikipedia]] has an entry regarding the subject and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are as many as 90,000 deaths a year from diseases acquired in hospitals. Given this, adult viewers in the know could easily see this toy's concern as being very, very legitimate, especially given that they're taking her to a hospital she hasn't been able to personally check into see if it's up to standard, one that is run by, well, a 6-year-old kid.



** Strangely averted with the [=LeapFrog=] Explorer and V-Tech [=InnoTab=] releases of the game. Though put side by side, the first iOS title comes across as a tech demo and ObviousBeta of the [=LeapFrog=] version of the game - the first iOS and [=LeapFrog=] titles plays similarly, but the [=LeapFrog=] title feels much more polished and does not have several of the issues plaguing the first iOS title.

* {{Moe}}: [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1710295/reviews?filter=hate&spoiler=hide An IMDb user named Cure Ariel described the show as "Moe" due to Doc Mcstuffins being the "Healer of Moe-Toys" and its "Moe" nature.]] Apparently, she thinks this is a ''bad'' thing, for whatever reason. Most other reviews also call the show “adorable”, but state it as one of the reasons to why the show is so likeable.

* BrokenBase: Toy Hospital. Was it a creative status quo changed that both kept the show fresh and helped introduce more serious topics like cancer and ambulance rides, or was it an unnecessary, weird plot that ruined the simplistic nature of the first three seasons?

** [[SweetSheep Lambie]] is by far the cutest characters in the show, due to her fondness of cuddling and being the most compassionate of the main cast. Special mention goes to her interaction with Piglet in the ''Hundred Acre Woods'' episode where she's frequently seen calming him down.

The Overshadowed By Controversy example was written before the episode aired and blatantly violates administrivia/Examples Are Not Recent. Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped is about how the work being unsubtle makes the story better, not that more people need to hear the message. The first example in particular mentions that the show doesn't make a big deal of Doc's race or gender, which sounds like the opposite of SANTBD.


* OvershadowedByControversy: While it hasn't aired as of this writing, the episode "The Emergency Plan" is shaping up to be this. The focus is on a doll family with two mothers surviving an earthquake. While previews show that it's just a regular episode, this has garnered the attention of the organization One Million Moms, who think the show isn't clean anymore.
** Now that the episode has aired, it's gotten a lot of praise for its portrayal of LGBT, and is still a well regarded episode even without it.



* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Critics have praised the program for its central character being a young African-American girl who, though feminine, wants to grow up to be a doctor--just like her mother. Actual female doctors of color, too, have embraced the character, with 131 offering pictures of themselves to create a "We Are Doc [=McStuffins=]" collage to celebrate Doc as a positive role model for young girls. What makes it even better is that the show ''doesn't'' drop this Aesop on a regular basis--Doc's ability to become a doctor is never questioned, suggesting that it's entirely possible for children of any race to achieve their dreams.
** Similarly, the show inverts the "traditional" family view: Doc's mother works a high-paying and demanding job, and her father is a stay-at-home dad who does activities traditionally associated with femininity, such as cooking and gardening. But they're clearly a happy, well-balanced couple that's doing a great job raising their kids, which quietly attacks old-fashioned ideas of men working and [[StayInTheKitchen women being homemakers]]. (Although a supplementary book, ''Doc [=McStuffins=]: My World'' indicates that her father [[AllThereInTheManual is a chef]]. So, yeah, still cooking, but on a professional level. Which puts rather a different spin on it, since females have actually struggled to be accepted in the world of professional cooking.)

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lambie. For some reason, her merchandise sells like hotcakes. Taken UpToEleven with the Hearts a-Glow Lambie during the 2014 holiday season- whenever Toys R Us online gets a fresh batch of it, it's guaranteed to be sold out within ''minutes''[[note]]It may or may not have something to do with the next year in the Chinese calendar being the year of the sheep (and Chinese New Years being just a month away), or the toy containing sufficiently entertaining robotics, but whatever the case may be, they're really going very fast.[[/note]]. Also, a general eBay search reveals more Lambie merchandise available than any of the other of Doc's toys (over 1,000 hits) and the most expensive items are more pricey than any of the other characters, indicating her popularity with the demographics of the show. It also helps when your character is voiced by Creator/LaraJillMiller.
** Lambie's on the top, but Stuffy's the runner-up. While Stuffy toys don't nearly move off shelves in quantity matching that of Lambie, he does get drawn in a lot of fanart. Also, while the Hearts-A-Glow Stuffy doesn't move off shelves anywhere as fast as the Lambie version, several fans have reported difficulty in locating the ''Dancing Christmas Stuffy'' instead, although the Lambie model was also selling quite well.
