** The stop motion creatures in particular, look more like WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}} than any Creator/RayHarryhausen creature they were meant to copy.
** That metal support thingy used to keep the "Kraken" puppet steady that the animators forgot to edit out of a frame or two. It appears for a moment and vanishes, but thanks to the jerky and choppy animation, it can plainly be spotted without the need of freeze-framing.

Narm is for specific moments only, this entry is too general and a ZCE. "This outfit looks similar to this other outfit" is too weak of a connection.


* DamselScrappy: Princess Elaine.
* HilariousInHindsight: Witch!Elaine's dress does look a ''lot'' like the Mother Monster outfit worn by Music/LadyGaga.

Never Recycle Your Schemes is not YMMV. Narm/Narm Charm is a ZCE and trope-slashed


* {{Narm}}[=/=]NarmCharm: Buckets of it.
* NeverRecycleYourSchemes: Pendragon is known as the Prince of Witches, and he surrounds himself with them, hideous monsters with amazing powers. The one time he sends them out to do his bidding in the entire film, they completely and easily overpower our hero and the entire crew of a ship to carry off Pendragon's evil plans with complete success, the only time in the film any of his plans actually works. So, naturally, he never uses them again. They just hang around looking evil and hideous while Pendragon sends easily defeated monsters after Jack. The witches are eventually destroyed when the castle blows up, having done not one other thing.
