Go To

  • Awesome Music: Not Giving Up On You from Bevanfield's Aladdin is certainly the best part of the movie (or the least bad part of it).
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The bizarre constant frog motif and the talking clock in Beauty and the Beast.
  • Designated Villain: The Witch from their adaptation of Rapunzel is bad because she's vain. She's vain because she grows her own vegetables and uses them to make herself prettier. We're apparently meant to hate her for doing such abhorrent things as... drinking carrot juice and putting cucumber slices over her eyes. And yes, she does take Rapunzel later, but that only happens because the father agreed to hand the child over in exchange for the right to take as much as he wants from the witch's garden.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Monsieur Rodente from Beauty and the Beast to an extent, thanks to Phelous who would use Rodente as a Butt-Monkey gag character who was prone to getting maimed by Old Man.
  • Esoteric Happy Ending: The ending of their take on Goldilocks and the Three Bears feels more sour than how most versions of the story end due to Goldilocks coming off as an Unintentionally Unsympathetic Idiot Houdini who ultimately ended up making life worse for the bears through her actions.
  • Memetic Bystander: The "Goofy Beard Man" from Aladdin, thanks to Phelous.
  • Narm: The Jungle Book ends with Mowgli setting Shere Khan on fire and the tiger running away while screaming in agony. Sounds horrifying but the terrible animation makes it look like the latter is turning into the Mozilla Firefox logo.
  • Padding: Most of their films consist of boring and irrelevant talking to drag out the runtime. In fact, in Beauty and the Beast, the titular beast doesn't show up until 30 minutes into the 60-minute film.
  • Special Effect Failure: Constantly due to the very poor animation. Of note is one scene during Aladdin where Aladdin's mother enters a scene and her body is very obviously cut off at the bottom as she walks in, giving her the appearance of hopping onto the screen like a Veggietales character.
  • Squick: Baloo in The Jungle Book is drawn with an apparently hairless chest sporting a visible navel and saggy moobs.
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously: Christopher Lee gives a valiant effort in Beauty and the Beast, even putting on a French accent.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic:
    • In Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the narration seems to try and portray Goldilocks as not responsible for her actions due to her inherent clumsiness, but it instead just looks like she's an uncaring, destructive jerk by the way she goes around and wrecks the Bears' belongings without remorse. It doesn't help that it's implied a couple of times that Goldilocks isn't as oblivious to the mayhem she is causing as the narration would have you believe.
    • In Beauty and the Beast, like most versions of the tale, the film tries to portray Beauty as better than her two vapid, greedy sisters, but in this version, Beauty's the only one who asks for a present from her father's trip, making her look like the greedy one.
