YMMV / Bedtime Stories (2008)

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The wheatgrass cake at Bobbi's birthday party is a real thing.
• Ass Pull:
  • Invoked. Being children under 10, Bobbi and Patrick do this all the time with Skeeter's stories. All of which translate to the real world in some form and are always Played for Laughs.
    • At the end of the first story, Patrick has it start raining gumballs, just 'cuz.
    • In the next one, when the hero is supposed to get a kiss, an angry dwarf shows up out of nowhere to kick him in the shins.
    • In the next after, when all the girls who were mean to Skeetacus (Skeeter's character) in school see him with the fairest maiden, they start doing the hokey-pokey. This is one that counts for the real world too, as when the same thing happens, the mean girls don't know why they did it.
    • During their final bedtime story with Skeeter, the kids have Skeeter's character die at the end by having a random person throw a fire ball at him for no reason.
  • A weirder (though admittedly heartwarming) example happens in the Where Are They Now epilogue. Barry Nottingham overcomes his fear of germs, retires from the hotel business, puts himself through med school and becomes the new school nurse for Webster Elementary. Believe it or not, the stories had nothing to do with it.
• Fridge Brilliance: Kendall working at Skeeter's hotel at the end. Considering Kendall (albeit unknowingly) almost killed two children, it is very likely that Skeeter is literally the only person who would hire him.
• Fridge Horror: Had Skeeter not managed to stop the detonation of the school, two kids would have been blown up. Food for thought.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Kendall pitching his idea for the new hotel which is about theater through a musical number becomes this in the Latin American Spanish dub due to him being voiced by Idzi Dutkiewicz, who later voiced Honest John, another Disney villain with a similar song and is much more hammy in hindsight.
• Moral Event Horizon: Kendall crosses it in the climax when he attempts to demolish Webster Elementary School, not even caring about Wendy's worries that Bobbi and Patrick might be there and pushing aside the engineer in fury when he starts taking her warnings seriously. Fortunately, Skeeter saves the day.
• Retroactive Recognition: The dancer at the kids' party is Heather Morris, from Glee.
