Dot and the Kangaroo (film)/YMMV

Original film

 * Animal Talk
 * Darker and Edgier: Compared to the sequels, the first film is darker; it features a character getting hurt, being killed and has intense scenes.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Dot whispering in the kangaroo's ear which she responds "Anywhere you like, dear." It might mean Dot needs to go poop or urinate.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The bunyip song, The hunters and Dot lost in the gully.
 * Tear Jerker: The opening, Dot sitting on the ground behind a tree and the ending.

Sequels

 * Anvilicious: The anti-racism moral of Dot in Space.
 * Ho Yay: The round and square princes in Dot in Space. Especially with the whole Romeo and Juliet thing they have going on, as well as how effeminate the round prince is.
 * Lighter and Softer: Compared to the first film, the sequels have slapstick, comic relief and funny moments
 * Nightmare Retardant: The Bunyip turns out to be not nearly as scary as the first film made it out to be.
