YMMV / Wee Sing

• Adaptation Displacement: The original song books and music albums are much less well remembered than the videos.
• Accidental Nightmare Fuel: So much of it coming from the creepy visuals and acid-trip nature of many of the videos.
• Anvilicious: Each video always teaches a lesson, or two, or three, or twelve...
• Awesome Music: This introduced most young adults to some beloved childhood songs. Seriously, take your pick.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: While nearly all of the movies run on That Reminds Me of a Song to drive the plot forward, the "I'm A Nut" scene in Wee Sing in Sillyville truly encapsulates this trope. Sillywhim, Laurie, and Scott are headed to Pasha's house when Scott accidentally steps on an acorn, which is able to talk. Scott asks who the acorn is, it bursts into a pun-heavy song, and then spins away, never to be seen or mentioned again while the trio moves on without comment.
• Broken Base: From an adult perspective, the whole series is seen as charming by some, as unbearably cheesy and sugary by others. But even among fans, Wee Sing in Sillyville seems to have the most broken base, with many loving it and considering it the pinnacle of the series, while others find the thinly veiled message about race relations to be gratingly Anvilicious.
• Ending Fatigue: After the Crowd Song in Wee Sing Together, Sally says goodbye to her friends, who then leave, the four main characters sing a song to get back home, Jonathon and Hum Bear sing a song to get the former off to sleep, and finally, Sally and Melody sing a song to get Hum Bear off to sleep.
• Growing the Beard: Grandpa's Magical Toys was the first to have a coherent story, bounce up the production, and add humor. It felt more like a cohesive story.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Wee Sing Together begins with a young boy and his older sister waking up in the middle of the night, and the song "Skidamarink" is sung. Thirty-seven years later, the movie Skinamarink was released which is about a young boy and his older sister waking up in the middle of the night.
  • In the Big Rock Candy Mountains song within this video, although slightly averted, inverted, and subverted, Danny Dog's Verbal Tic can be briefly heard somewhere in-between the 0:36 duration of layer tracks playing.
• Narm Charm: This is how adults who look back fondly on the series usually feel about it.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Peter in Grandpa's Magical Toys is played by Kevin Hageman, one half of the Hageman brothers, who have worked on films like Hotel Transylvania and The LEGO Movie, the Netflix series Trollhunters and Star Trek: Prodigy.
  • Andrew Goodman, who played Carter in Wee Sing Train, currently works on Spongebob Squarepants as a writer.
  • Vana O'Brien, who was Aunty Annabella and Rachel in Marvelous Musical Mansion and voiced the Old Gray Mare in Wee Sing Train, is not only the co-founder of the Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, but she's also been in a few Gus Van Sant films like My Own Private Idaho and Elephant (2003). She's also the daughter of Hollywood actor Van Heflin.
  • Jacque Drew, who played Dutch Girl in Grandpa's Magical Toys, would later voice Madame Odious on Power Rangers Ninja Steel.
  • Nicolette Robinson played Annie in Wee Singdom.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The crooked man in King Cole's Party could have been the mentor to the kids, but he was only used in one portion of the movie.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The plot of Wee Singdom. Made to serve as the Grand Finale to the series, it involved characters from the previous videos meeting up and singing songs together. The problem is not every video gets its own representative. There are no characters from Wee Sing Together, King Cole's Party, The Best Christmas Ever or The Marvelous Musical Mansion, though their game piece likenesses are there. Also, Little Bunny Foo Foo and Sillywhim are the only characters played by their original actors. Then there's the fact that The Big Rock Candy Mountains and Wee Sing Train have three characters each instead of one like everyone else (three if you count Chugalong and Cubby as separate entities).
  • Also, Annie and Tim could have gone to the festival when it first started, but they’re only there for the grand finale.
