History Film / CoolCatSavesTheKids

** Creator/VivicaAFox and Creator/ErikEstrada are only in the film for one scene but are featured on the DVD cover.

* BrokenAesop: The movie preaches that you should ignore cyberbullying and not read messages from the bullies. A good lesson, but earlier on, Cool Cat broke this message by encouraging Maria to read messages from a cyberbully.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* FriendToAllChildren: "I'm Cool Cat, and I love ''all'' kids!" Though he [[VagueAge may]] be a kid himself.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: There are two instances in the film where Cool Cat does this strange action that involves pumping his fist near his crotch and twitching his leg...[[ADateWithRosiePalms does he need some time alone]]?

No relation to [[Characters/LooneyTunes a late-1960s Warner Bros.-Seven Arts character]] [[NamesTheSame of the same name]].

* AnachronismStew: In ''Crazy Dream'' (released in 2019), as Cool Cat is waving to the people while driving home, a poster for ''Series/LastResort'' can be seen, which only makes it even more obvious that the whole thing is nothing ''but'' reused footage.

* TitleDrop: Very blatantly [[MetaFiction meta]]:

** In ''Cool Cat Fights Coronavirus'', Cool Cat delivers several safety tips on how to avoid catching the virus. Despite saying to wear a face mask, and correcting one of the kids for wearing her mask improperly, Cool Cat himself spends the entire movie without one. He’s wearing one in the segment at the end, with the excuse being that he simply forgot to wear it. He also says that it's important to respect others' opinions on masks and it's okay to not wear one, which could reflect Daddy Derek's anti-mask views.
** In the same film, one scene involves Cool Cat (and Angela and Brittany) taunting Dirty Dog for being a poor thrower. That's rich considering ''Cool Cat Saves the Kids'' is meant to be an anti-bullying film.

* {{Portmanteau}}: "I've got a '''grandtastic''' story to tell you!"

* TitleDrop: A [[MetaFiction meta]] one:

** Butch: "I'n gonna pung gump!" [[note]] "I'm gonna punk up!" [[/note]]

** Creator/VivicaAFox and Erik Estrada are only in the film for one scene but are featured on the DVD cover.

** Creator/CynthiaRothrock has a voice-only role in the recut version ''Cool Cat Kids Superhero'', but is billed with her face on the DVD cover. Taken UpToEleven in an older version of the ''Director's Cut'' covers, which has ''both'' Rothrock's face and Momma Cat (the character she voices) at the same time.

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, which Savage attempted to take down as copyright infringement.

** In the updated Kids Superhero, Cool Cat tells Maria that she shouldn't open messages from people she doesn't know, but she can in this instant because he's there with her. Then, when Maria suggests that the message could be about winning money in a contest, instead of warning her that it's [[FourOneNineScam likely a scam designed to steal personal information]], Cool Cat instead cheers that they can go on a trip together. The message comes across as "don't open messages from strangers, but it's okay to give information to said strangers if they've told you that they're going to give you something". [[note]]The line about not opening messages from strangers was only added to the ''Kids Superhero'' version of the movie and the line about the contest was from the original cut. In the original cut, Cool Cat encourages Maria to open it despite not knowing who it's from.[[/note]]

* TheCameo: Aside from the various cars Cool Cat encounters during the parade, there are several moments in the aforementioned parade while Cool Cat is riding down the street while a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Jokey Smurf]] balloon floats by.

A recut of the film called ''Cool Cat: Kids Superhero'' was released in late June 2018, after months of changing and unclear release dates. While many believed it would be a remake or a sequel, the finished film is nothing more than a re-release of ''Cool Cat Saves The Kids'' with a few minutes of additional scenes. In November 2021, Savage announced another recut called ''Cool Cat Saves the Kids: Director's Cut'', which was released in early 2022.

* IShallTauntYou: In ''Cool Cat the Kids Superhero'', Maria taunts Butch about Cool Cat being in the Parade and she and Cool Cat going to a movie star's house later.

** A later recut of the film was released under the name ''Cool Cat Kids Superhero'' (sic) in 2018. This edit changes some lines as well as adding additional scenes of Cool Cat doing more irrelevant activities, Maria bullying Butch and Butch watching Cool Cat during the Hollywood Parade. Momma Cat is now voiced by [[Film/{{Undefeatable}} Cynthia Rothrock]]. Also, the scene where it ''appears'' that Cool Cat is "pleasuring himself" is also axed from this version of the film.
