History YMMV / LittleMonsters

** When all the monsters gather around the baby girl’s crib and make the most demented, terrifying faces at her, scaring the absolute crap out of her and making her cry. Disturbingly surreal and crossing right into UncannyValley. Just imagine these creatures staring at you if you were a baby in a crib.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Maurice's actor, Creator/HowieMandel, would go on to host such shows as ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' and serve as a judge on ''Series/AmericasGotTalent''.
** Devin Ratray, who plays bully Ronnie Coleman, is also Buzz [=McCallister=] in ''[[Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork Home Alone 2]]''.
** The puppet effects for this film were created by 3/Design Studio, whose alumni included Jim Kroupa, Noel [=MacNeal=] and Pam Arciero, all of whom would also work on ''Series/EureekasCastle''. (They were also puppeteers on ''Series/SesameStreet'' and ''Series/TheGreatSpaceCoaster'')

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This kid's film has swearing, gory deaths, and verbal abuse. So in other words, all the things that tickle their funny bone. The Grimm Fairytale were all those things back in their day. In fact, this movie is on the "Kids" section on {{Creator/Netflix}}, despite the fact that the PG rating (which is what the movie got) was ''heavily'' different in the 1980s than it is now.
** And the closing theme is [[Music/TalkingHeads "Road to Nowhere"]], just to nail it home.
