Added DiffLines:

* OvershadowedByControversy: The big thing everyone remembers about the film is the sexual harassment allegations placed against its director, which led to the removal of ''any'' directors credit from the film, a practice which is extremely rare.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: It may seem like a cute movie about a theme park imagined by a young girl at first glance. However, the main premise is kicked off by her mom having to go to the hospital because she is ill, causing June to become depressed and abandon her park. And that's not all: when she discovers that the park is actually real, we learn that her depression caused a dark cloud inhabited by plush monkeys that have turned evil and kidnapped Peanut, the leader of the park, inside of it. Many parents went online to complain as a result.

Some edits.


* IAmNotShazam: The park in the movie is called "Wonderland", not "Wonder Park". The main reason it has that title was because the studio wanted to distance themselves from the film's original director(and also to avoid confusion with "Alice in Wonderland").

** Jokes about the film essentially being a ''VideoGame/RollercoasterTycoon'' movie are not uncommon.

trimming natter, also that Unfortunate Implications entry is a major stretch to say the least. Also the film never implied that June's mom died, don't know where on earth people got that from.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: As some reviewers have pointed out, the movie could've worked fine if the conflict about June dealing with [[spoiler:the trauma that her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness]] was front and center. Instead the movie makes unsubtle implications about [[spoiler:her apparent death]]. It would've been somewhat refreshing to see a movie dealing with [[spoiler:the subject of death, ''without'' actually killing the loved one]], considering that children can still be traumatized by such experiences. Instead, the movie just states that [[spoiler:she was cured]], but not having her show up or even get mentioned for the majority of the movie made the conclusion feel unsatisfying.
* UnfortunateImplications: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0xZZXrReWE As discussed by]] [[WebVideo/FoldingIdeas Dan Olson]], June's depression is seen as a big source of conflict, with [[spoiler:the Darkness being an explicit result of her sadness and cynicism]], but the film never seems to validate her for feeling sadness, not just because the source of it (her worrying over her mother having a potentially terminal illness) [[TrappedByMountainLions otherwise has no relation to Wonderland and the Darkness]], but also by showing her friends abandoning her for realizing what it's causing, leaving her to save the day on her own. The film ends up implying that regardless of the cause, [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming children should feel bad for feeling bad because it hurts other peoples' feelings.]]
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: One of the few things that the movie ''does'' get right is the set design and lighting. The movie looks simply ''gorgeous''.
