YMMV / Golden Films

• Awesome Art: While the animation in general tends to be inconsistent and there are some instances of Off-Model, the backgrounds are often very well detailed, believable and vibrant.
• Base-Breaking Character: The comic reliefs in almost every film are either the best or worst parts of their respective films (The three ghosts in Beauty in the Beast, the birds in Anastasia, White Eagle, Fluffy Wing and Doug the dugout canoe in Pocahontas, etc...) based on how much (or how little) you enjoy their brand of physical comedy, or in some cases, their snarky personalities.
• Can't Un-Hear It:
  • Characters voiced by Cam Clarke and Charles Martinet are very easy to identify.
  • Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island sounds like a British Tommy Pickles.
• Designated Villain:
  • Cassandra from their adaptation of The Little Mermaid is clearly meant to be seen as a villain, much like Ursula from the Disney version. However, unlike Ursula, she doesn't take advantage of the protagonist when she's at an emotional low point, never tries to sabotage her relationship with the prince, and has no ambitions for domination or destruction. Overall, she's closer to the Sea Witch from the original tale, who was a neutral character. The worst that can be said about Cassandra is that she drives a hard bargain.
  • McGregor’s cat is treated as a villain for trying to eat Peter and Benny when they trespass on McGregor’s garden with the intent of stealing his vegetables, after his owner told him to guard it against looting vermin. McGregor himself later calls his own cat a “mean fellow” for doing the job he was told to do.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Beauty's father, aka "Old Man" from the Goodtimes Beauty and The Beast, due to his idiotic escapades and his overall hilarious personality. Though if it weren't for Phelous, he'd be completely useless now.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Despite the majority of the company's releases being mockbusters, they have their largest successes among Spainards.
• So Okay, It's Average: The majority of their films are tolerable. It is clear the people involved in those films have put legitimate effort, but the films still suffer because of the budget constraints. This is specially evident in the animation, which tends to be full of errors even in the better films of the company. Furthermore, there are problems in storytelling, characterization and plot too evident to overlook.
• Strangled by the Red String: Some of these movies establish very little chemistry between the love interests and they're deemed as the Official Couple no matter what.
