YMMV / Pinkalicious & Peterrific

Go To

  • Awesome Art: The animation is absolutely beautiful. The attention to detail is amazing and it does a good job of mimicking the books. The animation is done by Sixteen South, who also animated Lily's Driftwood Bay.
  • Awesome Music: The show's theme song.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The Imagine Spots in "Zoo Day". They contribute little to the plot and aren't mentioned again afterwards.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Kendra. She's not included in most of the promotional material even though she's apparently one of Pinkalicious' friends. But already she has gotten this status due to being a Deadpan Snarker-Perky Goth epic combo, and bringing some legitimate amusement to what otherwise would be a very saccharine show. In other words, she's the show's Mitchell Peterson.
  • Funny Moments: Has its own page.
  • Girl-Show Ghetto: Despite the show's attempts at being less girl-oriented in the books, like giving Peter equal emphasis as a character and giving Pinkalicious more of a personality, it's still somewhere in the ghetto due to still retaining stereotypically "girly" things like the color pink.
  • He Really Can Act: The child VAs are quite talented. Special mention goes to the VAs for Pinkalicious and Peter, who are great singers.
  • Memetic Mutation: "I thought this was a porno!"note 
  • Moe: Pinkalicious herself!
  • Ron the Death Eater: The show's detractors often make Pinkalicious out to be a spoiled brat who controls the entire town, and comparisons to Anthony Fremont are very common.
  • Sweet Dreams Fuel: The show is a cute, innocent slice-of-life series about creativity and the arts.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Very few people responded positively to the wholesale recasting of the voice actors in Season 4 and beyond.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation is very fluid.
  • Wangst: The episode "Peter's Blues" is built on the trope. Peter gets depressed over being depressed. He manages to make Mommy, Daddy, Lila, Mr. and Mrs. Plum, and Mayor Martinez depressed over trivial matters, such as breaking a pencil or not having blue paint.
  • The Woobie: Lila in "Slumber Party", where she's feeling homesick while at the titular slumber party.
    • Rafael in "Glitterizer," where he's clearly uncertain about Pinkalicious glitterizing his painting and is genuinely distraught after she covers it in glitter anyway, then further ruins it while trying to get the glitter off.
    • Kendra in "A Birthday Party for Kendra." Though Pinkalicious and the others are trying to do something nice, Kendra is plainly uncomfortable from the moment they start talking about why she "needs" a birthday party; at the party, she's visibly trying to humor her friends, who are having fun, despite obviously not enjoying herself.
