- Harsher in Hindsight: In his review of Surf's Up, he states that Sony Pictures Animation should look back at it and realize why they've fallen so hard. While saying this, he says that the movie doesn't really need a sequel. Shortly after his review, Sony actually announced a sequel to Surf's Up...with WWE WRESTLERS. It was also deemed inferior to the original film.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In his Epic Mickey Files episode on Mr. Smee, AniMat describes Smee as the Disney version of Smithers. Disney would acquire Fox's media assets a few years later, including The Simpsons, effectively making Smithers the Disney version of Smithers.
- Never Live It Down:
- His former fans will NEVER forgive him for the fiasco following the release of his Best and Worst of 2013 list.
- His hatred for Sony Pictures Animation in general is this. His reviews of Minions and Despicable Me 3 count as well due to how many felt like he was too kind on those films, but too harsh on SPA films. There's also him outright stating that SPA should shut down, and even went as far as calling them "The Donald Trump of Animation." However, he has admitted that he regrets saying those things.
- Nightmare Fuel: His Sanity Slippage in the Bratz review, all done in a homage to the Animated Adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart.
- A lot of moments from the animated segments of Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios+.
- Jeffrey Katzenberg acting like a maniac when he is shown messing with The Black Cauldron and when Michael Eisner confronts him, Jeffrey has this to say...
Katzenberg: You know what they say, 'One must become the enemy!' - After that, he pulls out his face and reveals a horrific, shrieking skull that grows horns like The Horned King.
- A lot of moments from the animated segments of Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios+.
- Win Back the Crowd: His reviews of Sony films from Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation onward seem to be trying to do this by not letting his feelings about the company affect them as much. This is noticeable in his Top 10 Worst Animated Films of the Decade, where he included both Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 and The Emoji Movie on the list, but only talked about them as films and didn't come across as condescending to its supporters, even acknowledging that some people did legitimately like the first Cloudy film without being frustrated at that fact.
