Dash and Dot's Wild Ride/Tropes/Trivia


 * Acclaimed Flop: The movie was a near-critical success, being enjoyed by critics, audiences and especially PBS Kids viewers, but a commercial failure, grossing only over $19 million at the box office.
 * Box Office Bomb: This should come as no surprise given the track record of movies based on PBS Kids properties, despite Dash and Dot only ever appearing in the bumpers. The film cost $45 million to make, but only made back $19 million at the box office.
 * He Also Did: Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, the film's screenwriters, were also known for their writing work on the Kung Fu Panda trilogy, the second and third Alvin and the Chipmunks films, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Trolls and its sequel Trolls World Tour.
 * Milestone Celebration: The Blu-ray release of the film came out on September 6, 2019 to coincide with the 20th anniversary of PBS Kids.
 * Vindicated by Video: While the film's otherwise positive reception couldn't save it from bombing at the box office, it has fared better on DVD and repeated airings on movie channels and occasionally PBS Kids itself, and is cherished by many people for that.
