YMMV / The Little Cars in the Great Race

• Accidental Innuendo:
  • Cris says that the Champ "gets her motor running."
  • In the infamous Neutral Spanish dub, the word "race" is translated as "corrida" (a term for ejaculation). Since it's a movie about cars and racing, they use that word a lot.
• Accidental Nightmare Fuel:
  • Cruise and Cris' smiles after the latter kisses him.
  • The Greaster Car from Easter special. This automotive abomination has a white ghostly body with bright red eyes, a voice normally heard from psychopathic man-children, and appears in the dead of night by a lake that isn't really there.
• The Problem with Licensed Games: There actually was a licensed game based on the series, seemingly made by a one-person company and barely distributed anywhere. Its quality? Well... For one, the game employs an interesting score system where you receive one point every second, and the racer with the most points, i.e. the slowest one, is considered the best one—suggesting that the developer doesn't quite grasp the concept of a "race".
• So Bad, It's Good: The endless barrage of car puns in the series is funny in an "I can't believe you actually said that" way.
• Special Effects Failure:
  • Pretty much the whole thing. Especially the racing scenes, which due to the Limited Animation, are very clunkily edited and full of obvious tricks to make it seem like the characters are racing, failing to give the believable racing vibe that the movie it's derived from does have.
  • Wrangler cheats at the race by dropping some tacks on the road, causing one of the racers to spin out of control. The race ends with him not paying attention and running over his own trap. However, the animators forgot to add the tacks to the scene where he drops them, so what happens instead is that the camera randomly cuts to a shot of the villain's taillights before one of the other racers suddenly spins off the track for no reason. The race ends with the villain running over some tacks that just happened to be sitting on the track.
