History YMMV / TheMagicRoundabout

** Also from the same film, [[spoiler:Brian's DisneyDeath after the snail goes back to retrieve Zebedee's magic moustache from the factory, just before it collapses. Dougal tearfully even [[VitriolicBestBuds admits that Brian really was his best friend]]]].

* RetroactiveRecognition: [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Sebastian]] is Dougal in the French dub of the 2005 film.

* SpecialEffectFailure: In "Dougal and the Blue Cat", [[EverybodyCries the entire gang starts weeping]] during Florence's sad song as they are chained up in Buxton's dungeon, but only Ermintrude has a plastered ''smile on her face'' as she's shedding tears.
* TearJerker: Florence's sad song from ''Dougal and the Blue Cat''. To beloved fans of the show, something about seeing each your favorite characters being locked up in a dungeon and taken from their cozy garden home just feels so wrong...

** Also in ''Dougal and the Blue Cat'', the entire gang (except for Dougal) being captured by Buxton's army is also very disturbing.

* NightmareFuel: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiESwuVz_bI This scene]] from the 1970 film "Pollux et le chat bleu" or "Dougal and the Blue Cat". Brrr...

* {{Macekre}}: The American redub of the 2005 movie. The original movie was already in English, and the original series it was based off of was never ever aired or released before in the States, which makes one only wonder why Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany decided to change all but two of the character's voices (and even then, [[Music/KylieMinogue one]] had to redub her lines in an American accent), cram in a ton of pop-culture references, and edit the hell out of the original movie. Critics and audiences reviewed it as well as you'd expect.

* [[AmericansHateTingle Americans Hate Dougal]]: The failed American release of the 2005 movie certainly didn't help matters.

* HilariousInHindsight: The colors of the diamond in the 2005 film are [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Blue, Yellow, and Pink, respectively.]]

** Many people have noted that there's something oddly terrifying about the theme tune. Music/BillBailey once suggested there was a 'secret hidden Satanic verse' about Zebedee having his legs cut off.

* CompleteMonster: In the 2005 BigDamnMovie version of the classic British cartoon, [[AnIcePerson Zeebad]] makes [[EstablishingCharacterMoment his first appearance noteworthy]] by freezing several people in the roundabout, locked in an icy cage. [[BigGood Zebedee]], his GoodCounterpart, reveals that millennia ago, Zeebad was the creator of the first ice age, encasing the entire world in ice for hundreds of years before being locked away. In the present day, he attempts to use [[MacGuffin three magical diamonds]] to [[EndlessWinter freeze the sun itself]], which would have huge repercussions on the world. When his EliteMook falls in battle, fatally wounded, Zeebad leaves him there, opting not to save him. He is perhaps the [[KnightOfCerebus only antagonist in the entire franchise to be a true threat, and is by far its most evil villain]].
