History YMMV / RolloAndTheSpiritOfTheWoods

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: How did the Old Chief knew where to find the elves' cemetery in a land he had only just arrived in? Did he see the place in his dreams like he saw the elves' village? Or did he spot the place through his spyglass?

* HilariousInHindsight: Lackey is the ambitious adviser to his tribe's chieftain whose headgear resembles a horned Viking helmet, and he's on the frontline to wage war against the elves whose home the tribe (which has other Viking vibes as well) has taken for itself. [[Series/{{Vikings}} Fifteen years later]], he has become an ambitious and sadistic Viking king who really loves butchering Christians. Oh, and he appears in the same franchise with a character named Rollo.
* MoralEventHorizon: Lackey crosses this when he causes [[spoiler:Rolli's [[ArrowsOnFire burning arrow]] to set the elves' camp ablaze instead of letting Rolli to shoot it harmlessly into the sea. Millie's death that soon follows this causes evil to win in the {{balance between good and evil}}, and [[TheNightThatNeverEnds the sun is covered by the moon indefinitely]]. Lackey marvels at this as Rolli cries over Millie's lifeless body]]. A deleted scene takes this further by having Lackey to mock [[HeroicBSOD the depressed Rolli]] for [[spoiler:mourning over Millie]], try to take for himself the rolley tribe's leadership and declare that he'll make things worse for everyone even though things are already bad for everyone with the [[spoiler:absence of sunlight]].

* RetroactiveRecognition: The elf elder is [[Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol Marius Wistrom]] as well as the Finnish dub voice of ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''.

* FridgeHorror: It's never discussed what would happen if the good measured by the Master's scales outweighs the evil. Would that result in an {{endless daytime}}, just like the evil weighting too much in the scales results in an [[TheNightThatNeverEnds eternal darkness]]? If the sunlight never leaves for a time, life will suffer as it does from its complete absence, especially the nocturnal animals. Maybe that's why the Master of the Scales wants to bring [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil balance between the good and evil]] measured by his scales, not to have the good conquer the world.
