* AngstWhatAngst: The death of Marla and Charlie's parents is barely brought up after it happens, and the siblings' current issues are barely shown to have a connection to it; Marla's loss of childhood innocence in particular is solely depicted as a character flaw she needs to overcome, rather than the natural result of someone losing their parents and being forced to raise their sibling afterwards.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Yay, Marla got her childlike wonder back! ...and she's still supporting her younger brother on minimum wage, with no indication on if they'll be able to make a better life for themselves.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: While the idea of a LEGO movie [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail was met with ridicule before its release]], it ended up blowing everyone away and actually made sense since LEGO is such a worldwide phenomenon (and had proven itself with the videogames). Playmobil is more of a niche toy, with many comparisons to ''The Lego Movie'' flooding in as soon as the trailer released. Fitting, since Playmobil has always been [[StuckInTheirShadow stuck in LEGO's shadow]]. In fact, the only way this movie wouldn't be overshadowed by ''The Lego Movie'' is if this movie came before, which it didn't.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many viewers argue that the plot and premise of the movie has potential, however, they couldn't have handled it ''worse'' than they did in the movie. The movie pretty much goes from setpiece to setpiece, some more interesting than others, but without any significant development made in any of them.

Marla calls Del out on this, saying he wouldn’t have helped her if she didn’t offer him any gold. While Del admits this, he tries to downplay it since the dangers they faced are what he’s more concerned about. While it is true Marla’s actions resulted in many dangers, Del pretty much admits that he would’ve only helped Marla if it benefited him and uses the dangers from the adventure as an excuse to back out.
