Context YMMV / Miffy

Go To

1* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Miffy gets more merchandise in Japan than its native Netherlands, even getting its own magazine there. The parallels to Japan's own Hello Kitty certainly help.
2* PeripheryDemographic: Miffy merchandise is also popular with adults.
3* TearJerker:
4** ''Dear Grandma Bunny'' which is also recommended by bereavement organisations as a way of helping to explain the death of someone to young children.
5** Any time Miffy loses her teddy bear, which puts her immediately in tears.
6*** There's actually a whole STORY dedicated to this (''Miffy is Crying'' a.k.a. ''Why Miffy Cried'') where Miffy wakes up crying when her teddy seemingly disappears. She spends the entire story tearfully asking around if they've seen it, but to no avail. If that wasn't sad enough, when she visits her aunt, the latter feels so sorry for Miffy, that she starts crying as well. The melancholy music in the Storybook Classics adaptation doesn't help either. Things turn OK in the end, but still...
7*** There's also "Miffy's Lost Teddy" from ''Miffy & Friends''. While not entirely dedicated to this (it pretty much occurs literally at the last minute), [[TheWoobie it's still hard not to feel bad for]] [[SingleTear Miffy]], when her teddy falls out of the car on the way home. Thankfully, [[spoiler:Snuffy sees this and runs back to the forest to retrieve it]].
