YMMV / Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs

• Adaptation Displacement: While the show is still pretty obscure, the book series it was based on is even more obscure.
• Broken Aesop: The Aesop of "Once Upon a Time" is to say please, but it's broken by the reason for Sam's not wanting to give him the crayon not being because he didn't say please, but because she was busy with it. Admittedly, when he does say please, she's flattered into taking a middle ground, but still.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: Being a preschool show and because the episode had an earlier scene about saying please, it's pretty obvious that the "magic word" from "Once Upon a Time" is going to be "please".
• Fridge Brilliance: At first, it seems like a Series Continuity Error when in "To Outerspace!", Harry spends the night in the bucket but is only gone for anything between a few minutes to a few hours in the normal world, when episodes like "But I Like Mud!", "Abracadabra!", and especially "Home!" show that Dino World is not imaginary, and episodes like "I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" showing that Dino World has the same time zone as the normal world. However, Harry spent most of his time in "To Outerspace!" on another planet, easily explaining the time dissonance.
• Fridge Horror: In "I Promise!", Sergeant Shout, the toy soldier, wants to stay in Dino World... but he has a good reason for wanting to stay in Dino World — the dinosaurs are the only things that remain sentient when out of Dino World, so he's essentially wanting to stay alive.
• Fridge Logic: How can some adults actually believe Harry went into his bucket?
  • Made even more in "But I Like Mud!". At the end, Harry, after he is turned down by the dinos because they cannot stand his stench of mud, meets a mud monster. However, the monster praises how his teeth will fall out because he won't brush them, and that many other bad things will happen to him. He runs away, and the monster takes off its head—revealing it's Nana! So how the H-E-double hockey sticks did she find the portal to Dino World in the bucket?
    • I always thought it's a family secret (though subverted because his friend, Charlie/Charley(?) knows about it). Nana was apparently one of the earlier visitors of DinoWorld and she may have once owned the bucket before she could give it to Harry (or possibly, before she could give it to Harry's elder sister who may have just grown out of playing with the dinos). It also helps that Nana owns another dinosaur that she keeps in her knitting basket.
    • It's all there in the manual (DVD packaging / show publicity) that the bucket was given to Harry by Nana. Not sure, but this may have also been in the original books.
• Moe: This show has managed to make everyone and everything look cute. Even the dinosaurs.
