Cross-Cultural Kerfluffle: Having been produced in Japan, the filmmakers clearly were clueless that the character Flip looking just like a black-faced minstrel (even though faithful to Winsor McCay's original work) would be extremely problematic for modern international audiences.Granted, it's somewhat justified being a dream. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The train scene in the beginning, after it, Nemo never mentions it again.

Some viewers find him to be a decent comic relief character while others cannot stand him. "Oh, you've got to get some etiquette if you want to be a prince.".Awesome Music: This IS The Sherman Brothers we're talking about.It's often been likened to "a good plate with nothing on it." Awesome Art: It's widely agreed that the animation is one of the film's biggest assets.Alternative Character Interpretation: Since no one in the real world comments on Icarus (a flying squirrel wearing airplane goggles that can almost speak English), but he plays a role in Nemo's dream, are we to believe he is a product of Nemo's overactive imagination? An Imaginary Friend? Or is he a resident of Slumberland that can somehow travel between the dream realm and the real world, who only Nemo can see?.This is especially notable since the Nightmare King (who did not exist in the comic strip and was created for the film) looks like a Reused Character Design of Chernabog from Fantasia with horns given to him.
