* It gets pretty depressing when the girls are shunned by everyone in Townsville and called freaks. It gets worse when [[BigBad Mojo Jojo]] tricks them into helping him take over the city, making its citizens fear and hate them even more. Even their own ''father'', Professor Utonium, begins to doubt if they’re truly good, which devastates them so much that they fly off into space and plan to live out the rest of their lives alone on an asteroid. But the most depressing of all is that moment when Blossom looks at the Earth with large, heartbroken eyes, then buries her head in her hands and silently cries.

* At the zoo, Bubbles picks up a toy rattle a mother had dropped. Bubbles returns the rattle to the woman who snatches it from her without a word of thanks and and walks away saying, "And I thought the zoo kept all the animals in cages". While Bubbles doesn't burst into tears as she [[ProneToTears usually does]], she is clearly hurt by the woman's words.

* When Mojo Jojo tricks the girls into helping set up his plan. After each task, Blossom turns to Mojo and says, "We did good?" The desperate hope in her voice to get some form of praise is downright heartbreaking.

* And right after that scene, there's the girls noticing the aftermath of their destruction.
* Meta example: The film, despite having an impressively good reception, ''bombed'' at the box office. The result of the bomb? Cartoon Network ''cancelling'' every show-movie adaptation they had planned. Ouch.
** Worse is that it pretty much scared Craig [=McCracken=] from making a film. Sure [[Creator/LaurenFaust his wife]] tried...but with similar complications.
** What's worse is that Cartoon Network ''still'' after all this time has yet to successfully transition into feature film again. ''Recap/AquaTeenHungerForceColonMovieFilmForTheaters'' (based on their Creator/AdultSwim series) accidentally lead to the channel's NetworkDecay in the late 2000's-early 2010's thanks to the Boston bomb scare, the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' movie is stuck in DevelopmentHell, and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'', despite being based on [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo one of the channel's biggest properties]], is solely the work of Warner Bros./DC Comics rather than an in-house production, and its series of origin isn't exactly well liked, either.
** Even then, due to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail getting a decent-to-good reception]], one would ''think'' that [[HopeSpot it would give Cartoon Network more confidence in their movies]]; [[YankTheDogsChain it only grossed slightly over half of its original $10 million budget]], [[StatusQuoIsGod meaning the movies might as well still be dormant]].

** It doesn't help matters any when the girls are watching the news and hearing just what the citizens of Townsville think of them. These are ''little girls'' for crying out loud, and people are talking about them like they're monsters. The people do get better, but still... '''harsh'''.
