| 1 | * SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H736eBf5Bxo We're the Couple in the Castle]]" is a gorgeous song. |
| 2 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The scene where Hoppity is electrocuted. It goes on for a whole minute, has [[DisneyAcidSequence surreal visuals]], and after they laugh it off ("Hoppity, you're electrifying!"), nobody mentions it again. |
| 3 | %%* CultClassic |
| 4 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: As noted above, it was a major financial failure in its home country of the United States, where it remains obscure and unpopular. In Japan, however, it's considered an animation classic- Disney's DVD release in the country was produced by none other than Creator/StudioGhibli, with Creator/HayaoMiyazaki and Creator/IsaoTakahata ''both'' citing the film as a personal favorite (as have Creator/HideakiAnno and Creator/MamoruHosoda), and at the 2003 Laputa Animation Festival in UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}}, a group of 140 animators deemed it to be the ''13th'' best animated film ever made! |
| 5 | * UglyCute: The characters, arguably. As one Fleischer animator named Howard attests: |
| 6 | -->''"You can draw a bug and make it cute as hell--as cute as a bug's ear, in fact, but I thought those characters designs were gruesome. Hoppity has a big, bloated head stuck on a skinny body."'' |
| 7 | * ValuesDissonance: One possible reason the film isn't as popular nowadays is because there are ''many'' moments that can be considered racially-insensitive today, including Swat doing a crude and stereotypical Chinese man impression while holding rice (complete with squinting eyes and gibberish), Hoppity imitating a Native American while being electrocuted (complete with Swat doing a crude war cry), and even Hoppity wearing {{blackface}} after [[AshFace an explosion]] at one point. One will even notice the blackface in Swat's design.[[note]]Though it's worth noting that his model sheet specifically says to avoid drawing him with large lips, as if to avoid this.[[/note]] |
