It gained massive notoriety thanks to a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C67thOEtVNQ two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY6H3_d61zc part]] review by WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg. While he did ultimately pan the film, he admitted that Derek's heart was in the right place as he was making the movie.

Controversy rose in November 2015 when it arose that Derek had personally been issuing [[https://kiwifar.ms/threads/daddy-derek-savage-creator-of-cool-cat-saves-the-kids.14449/ take down notices]] to several Youtubers who had reviewed the movie (most notably WebVideo/IHateEverything). This escalated very quickly and Derek soon lost the respect of the people who admired how accepting he was of YMS' review. Time will tell whether or not the situation cools down.

''Cool Cat Saves the Kids'' is a 2015 direct-to video educational film directed by and starring Derek Savage. Its aim was to teach kids about bullying and the dangers of guns. It's become far better known for how incredibly {{narm}}ful it is, thanks to a review by WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg.

While it's now pretty much impossible to take it seriously anymore, it has developed a cult following which Derek Savage has accepted and even encourages.

However, Derek came under fire in November 2015 when it was revealed that he had issued takedown notices on videos made by WebVideo/IHateEverything. Savage has even gone as far as to threaten legal action, which has caused everyone who respected him for being a good sport about his movie being made fun of to turn against him.
