YMMV / The Magic Adventures of Mumfie

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Did you know that Mumfie was originally a series of books created by Katherine Tozer in the 1930's?
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In-universe example in the episode "A Royal Mis-Understanding", when the Queen of Night is visited by people who want to marry her because Mumfie thought that losing your heart meant that you needed to love another person, but it turned out that the Queen actually lost her heart shaped locket. The narrator even lampshades that the Queen was unaware that she would be visited by people who wanted to marry her.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Most fans seem to love Scarecrow more than any other character.
  • Foreshadowing: In the song "The Chase", one of the lyrics is "The Admiral and chums will soon be safely locked inside a cell!" Many minutes later, Mumfie gets trapped inside a holding cell on The Secretary of Night's island.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The Queen of Night and The Queen of Light are sisters who are separated from each other. Do their descriptions, outfits and swapped hair colors remind you of two sisters from a popular Disney film?
    • In "Cabin Fever", the narrator says "The coat fit Scarecrow like a glove, which made him wonder what a glove should fit like".
  • Ho Yay: In "The Guest", Scarecrow blushes after hearing Mumfie play music off of his tissue box guitar he made.
  • Memetic Mutation: Thanks to this show, many people now call people who worry "what-iffers". This may be thanks to Scarecrow being the most-liked character.
    • Speaking of Scarecrow, the song he and Pinkey sang in the forest in Mumfie's Quest is also a meme.
    • "Gotta Dance, Gotta Whistle, Gotta Sing" is also very popular.
  • Wham Episode: The majority of "Mumfie's Lost Button". First, Scarecrow tells Mumfie that he is scaring cows, then Mumfie looses his button, all of Mumfie's other jackets are missing, no buttons wind up matching the one missing on Mumfie's coat, nearly the entire cast (excluding a few characters) show up to offer Mumfie buttons with pictures relating to their hobbies that do not match the missing button, and Mumfie's jackets hanging on the clothesline being the wrong color as well as one jacket near his bed. Thankfully, this was All Just a Dream
