What are some of the laziest, disappointing, most boring, or just plain dislikable movies from our childhoods or animated movies of today?
Here are some of my own. Granted this is just opinion based and everyone will be different XD I think it'd be cool to see things that people dislike.
Anyway, here's a few.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWf2Cg00kD0 Mulan 2. By far this movie was one of my most disappointing videos I've seen in a long, long time. As a really big fan of the original, this sequel let me down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji-LqBskNyE watership down. This is NOT a bad movie, it's honestly quite good, but this movie was one of my nightmare fuel movies...along with Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Both are good movies to me personally now, but back then...man this movie...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO1FdVSMZHA very, very funny review of the movie that I think may be the ugliest animated humans ever. Foodfight. Is it the worst of all time? Not in my opinion, but it's definitely one of the worst films I have ever seen period, not just animated films but any film.
-
Pretty much any movie in the store clearance bins. ;) A lot of remakes and sequels to films would be there. Just to try and make a quick buck.
Watershed down was well animated, but it scared me so much as a kid. Blood, gore, and innocent bunnies who are evil. It was nightmare fuel.
-
Whaaaaaat! Watership Down?
I thought this was a worst animated films topic. Watership Down is considered one of the greatest films ever made, with stellar animation, beautiful voice acting, a very mature tone for children, and not holding back any punches. Not to mention the style was pretty realistic with the rabbits and their movements and just how dangerous the world is for them. Even getting how aggressive rabbits can be. They aren't cute fluffy little cute things, they are very brutal to each other and do fight to the death. And they don't necessarily do it fast either. I've had to pull apart some of my male rabbits when they started fighting, and let me tell you, it's not pretty. I mean yeah, it's definitely an INCREDIBLY dark movie. Even as an adult it's very chilling to watch and I don't know how some kids could sit through it without crying, but putting it on a worst animated list just because it freaked you out as a kid is pretty unfair to the movie itself. It's amazing how much you could get past the censors back then and I appreciate how this movie doesn't talk down to kids. The world is a scary place, it's a dangerous place, and everything isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Hell they even have religious subtexts (not really subtext) and a pretty vindictive God, I mean, don't know bout you, but that was funny in a way. But yeah, I'd have to kindly disagree with you on Watership Down. This movie is a beautifully done movie.
-
As for bad movies. It's funny you bring his up. Just a few days ago I went through my box of old VHS' and I realized how cheap my parents were XD
I got rip off Fox and The Hound, rip off Snow White, rip off Anastasia, other rip off Snow White. It's crazy haha. All are full of lazy animation, recycled animation, incredibly stupid story lines, ugly animation, pretty mediocre voice acting, oh and did I mention lazy animation?
I'll have to go look through YouTube and see if anyone even liked these movies enough to upload clips of them XD
-
What about the animated versions of Titanic?
-
Watership Down doesn't deserve to be here just because it scared it. It was very well animated. :) But yes, it was a scary film.
-
I can do you one better Blurr! The animated SEQUEL to the animated Titanic movie.
Tentacalino or In Search of the Titanic. Mr. Enter has the best review for it, I feel.
-
We should make ground rules, shouldn't we? Tenta...tenacakeolololol.... whatever it is called, that movie is horrible, yes. But can it be included for worst animated film? Are we talking sole about animation or plots? Because it is actually decently animated, just poorly dubbed. Maybe we shouldn't include foreign films because dubbing can often be done half-asked.
-
But that's the problem. There are examples of beautiful dubs, so there really is no excuse for bad dubs.
Also. The CGI is horrendous in the movie so I think it belongs.
-
So here are some of my pics for worst animated films based on animation.
HOODWINKED
Talk about emotionless rigging dummies that don't even seem properly textured. It is a foreign film, yeah, but ignoring the dubbing which is fine, the animation isn't.
DOOGAL films
I can't tell why this film is untextured and poorly post produced. It just seems half asked. It is a foreign film too.
RATATOING
You know this is going to be good. It sits in the bargain bin at Kmart or something, and attempts to fool people into thinking it is Ratatouille. I truly believe this may be one of the worst animated films out there.
-
LITTLE BEE
Okay... just look for yourself...
SPIDER'S WEB: A Pig's Tale
This trailer pretty much shows and says the entire stories plot. No need to buy this trash. Sorry Charlotte's Web...
CAR'S LIFE: SPARKY'S BIG ADVENTURE
Sigh... sorry I couldn't find a clip of this film without people talking.
-
So many rip-offs... :o
-
I guess Bee Movie? I remember liking it when I was younger because I thought it was funny. Recently watched it with my friends for a movie night. And we already knew the movie was crap, and even I knew it was crap. But we did it anyways for the lols.
This movie is super fukin dumb. lmao
-
I still kinda like bee movie. I didn't think it was badly animated though. The story was just really stupid and crap.
Are we gonna make this like the other thread? Where it's just good animation, story doesn't matter? I feel like MS might have made it too broad.
-
What is the parameters for this topic. Animation or story and everything combined?
Bee Movie wasn't that great a story but the animation was good. Nothing wrong with it.
-
So unlike Grapefoot's topic which focuses on the positives of animation, this topic by MS does not force on just the animation it seems. So I was wrong posting what I did. Here is what MS said.
"What are some of the laziest, disappointing, most boring, or just plain dislikable movies from our childhoods or animated movies of today?"
Lazy can be animation, disappointing can be story or animation. Boring is usually not animation. So I guess this is just a general topic about films we don't like. Not just animation being a parameter.
-
Why don't we make it similar to Grapefoot's topic and make this about animation?
And then maybe a separate topic about movies with a horrible story, even if the animation is good. Like the Equestria Girls movies.
-

I like that idea. But since MS created this to be about anything in the film, I think the next topic we make should be about bad animation. I will just move my three posts over. ;)
Animated Abominations in Film? is that a topic name? ;)
-
Let grape make his marvel in animated television topic too, no one take that away from him. ;) Who wants to make the badly animated topic? LP? Darrin?
-
Well, Mr. Enter uses Animated Atrocities for badly animated films. And I think also for bad stories, but they tend to go hand and hand. And yeah, let's not take away Grape's other topic idea.
But the thing is, MS' topic is called bad animations. Therefore the thread is about bad animated movies. It says it in the title. Bad animations.
-
I don't know if Grape intended to make a topic for bad animation. I think our resident writer was looking to praise animation, and not story work, lol. Writer going for art, lol.
-
So yeah, so bad stories shouldn't go in this topic then. Just movies that were badly animated. But he didn't set up parameters. Do all movies count? Or only ones that got theatrical releases? Or do the direct to DVD/VHS ones count too? MS didn't give us much rules....
-
He set no parameters but reading what he said, he doesn't seem to care if it was bad animation or bad writing. Bad animation, bad stories, boring films, can all be included in this topic. So no focusing on just animation. A new topic would have to be made to focus just on animation. Grapefoot specified if the film had to be in theaters, this topic does not.
-
I think direct to home films count. He never said anything about them not being included. He didn't even say it was limited to animation.... just any films in our childhood... heck, maybe in my childhood I watched the "The Shining" and hated it.
-
But... The topic name is worst animated films. Unless he only said animated to disclude live action movies.
Blugh, would it be bad to make a new topic then that just focuses on the bad animation? Regardless of story? With the parameters Grape made?
But APD. Animated.
-

No, we would just rename this topic a bit too when a mod comes on or MS.
-
Oh my bad. The title does specify animated...
He also says the film can be from our childhood OR today... So this is pretty much a big huge mush of everything together in one topic.
-
This topic isn't just focusing on animation, but everything. JUST BAD ANIMATED MOVIES. There, I think I got it.
BAD ANIMATED MOVIES.
-
Bad animated movies, even if it had good animation. Got it.
-
Why rename the topic? It does just say bad animated movies. But that includes story. And if we just didn't like it as a kid, which I find kind of unfair to some movies. Like the aforementioned Watership Down. Which yeah, okay you didn't like it as a kid, but it is a fantastic movie. There is like, nothing bad about it. It's just dark.
-
But this topic says if we don't like it, post it.
So maybe as a kid you didn't like.... TOY STORY.... I don't know how that is possible, but someone might say that and that is fine in this topic. So the badly animated clips posted by APD probably are not needed here... but they were bad, so they still work. ;)
-
If we wanted to make a topic focused on JUST bad animation we could, but this topic is fine for now. It encompasses everything.
We really probably went far too deep into this.
-
I guess. I just feels it's unfair to good movies. Like what if someone is skimming and thinks it's just bad movies that are actually bad and sees a good movie someone as a kid just didn't like then left with the impression the movie is a bad movie when it's not D:
But yeah whatever. So... Oh.
Chicken Little. I hate this movie. I hate this movie so much I can't even words. To boot, it's pretty shoddy animation, horrible story, extremely unlikeable or incredibly cliche characters, a ton of unfortunate implications, and to top it off the most undeserved happy ending either. Oh yeah, and there's also some forced romance thrown in there as the cherry on top of this cluster fudge of a movie. I don't even know why Disney made this part of their "Disney Canon" thing. Because it is arguably one of the worst stains in their history of movies.

I was going to say this movie should probably be included. ;)
Another abomination is Disney's, "Home of the Range."
-
So is this topic focus on bad animation or just bad movies? Watershed Down was a wonderfully animated film, it was rich in detail and visually interesting at times.
-
Hey Raine, we were just discussing that. In between all the posts, we said this topic is ANY BAD MOVIE BASED O NTHE PERSONS OPINION.
So not for any demeaning merits to Watershed down, but as a kid, some people just don't like it, so it's on this page.
-
But- but- muh Watership Down! Heh. Don't forget, only animation.
Funnily enough, I never hated Home on the Range. I mean, the animation is fluid and nice (from my memory). I know people say it's a bad movie, but I can't seem to hate it. I mean, I guess the story is stupid and the characters are a little annoying? Maybe? Idk.
Now my turn to be controversial. Sleeping Beauty. I hated this movie as a kid. It was just so damn boring. Like the beginning is awesome, throwing down the D word to a baby. Like damn. And the dragon fight was cool I guess, super anticlimactic if you ask me. But yeah. The rest of the movie was just boooooring. I didn't like Aurora, I guess the prince was cute? And I hated the blue fairy. Green fairy was adorable. And red fairy was funny.
-
I thought we decided this topic was for BAD MOVIES in general? Not focusing just on animation. At least that was what I was saying earlier.
-
Home on the Range had nice animation. But I don't remember much about it.
Thanks for the clarification. Just bad films in general, regardless if the animation is good or not.
I found Sleeping Beauty extremely boring as a kid. I also found the Nutcracker boring. ;)
-
Animation wise, it was a good movie, but I never cared for Anastasia as a kid. I wonder if I would like it better now?
I also didn't care for the movies UP and Finding Nemo. They just... never popped with me (balloon joke).
-
See, I hate including Sleeping Beauty to this list, or UP and stuff.... this topic says THE WORST. Then the description inside says boring and other terms not meaning the WORST. It's hard to take things so literally then to change the topic completely. Some Joe Smoe can come in here and think we are nut cases for listing these films as the WORST. :-/
Ugh, this topic grinds my gears. ;)
-
This is what I mean. This topic feels to broad. This is how I felt about Watership Down (because I adore that movie). It really bugs me that it says one thing but then says another. ;-;
-
Yeah, UP and FN were beautifully animated. I just didn't care for the films, but they are far from the WORST films... yeah, I know what you mean, Rainy. I think are taking this too literally and being too critical.
-
Okay, I get it. This topic is too broad and it bugs me too. We are placing movies that don't deserve to be here in here. Yes, you can dislike one thing and someone else dislike another, but I think the title is wrong then. WORST does not meaning boring or lame movies.
-
Yeah. It's kind of like enjoying a bad movie. Sure, you can enjoy it, but that doesn't stop it from being objectively bad.
Just like a fantastic movie you can dislike. Just because you dislike it doesn't mean it's a bad movie. And that's the thing here. We're being allowed to call movies we disliked or didn't click with bad.
-
So if we went based off just the title, WORST ANIMATED FILMS, then those animated atrocities that APD posted belong right in with this topic.
-
I took the language of the title to heart. It said "WORST ANIMATED FILMS" so I went to get the worst animated films. Worst can't be bad. So many movie Z is bad, bit movies Z isn't the worst because moves XY is the worst. This topic is going to frustrate me. Lol! I'm making too big a deal about this. We are being too nitpicky.
-
Thats just it. Like "Finding Nemo" maybe is a bad movie to Bob. By Lisa loves it. But Bob would also quickly say that it is not a movie deserving of the title "worst animated films."
-
Exactly, Rainy! Exactly! Ahhhh!
-
Well, that's because by a story point of view and in terms of animation, Finding Nemo is great. I personally actually dislike Finding Nemo cuz I couldn't stand Nemo. He was such a little shit and my little kid mind was like, he needs a good butt spanking. That'll set him straight. I blame it on the way I was raised at least. If I ever spoke to my parents the way Nemo did, I wouldn't be able to sit. But even I agree the movie is fantastical written and animated. I just don't like it, but I'm not gonna call it the worst haha.
I think we should wait until MS comes back and see exactly what he means by this topic so then we can get ourselves straight and know what to post haha
-

I think he means exactly what he said. It is a broad topic for us to discuss. lol!
I mean, he's already got a successful topic here, look at us discussing just the basics of this topic.
-
Hue. I can't help but feel he's going to feel really bad when he reads through our discussion though....
-
He's gonna be real pumped at all the responses, just to see we are stupidly discussing nothing he wanted us to discuss about. ;) I like MS, but even I must admit, we are too goofy a group to be this broad. Bad things happen when we are allowed to be broad. Sorry, MS.
-
0_0 sweet mercy alive...I never thought a simple question would get so much attention so quickly XD I didn't even make the start of this topic 24 hours ago and it's on page 4 already. Thanks for the notice! :)
It's honestly kind of funny to me to see things go back and forth. It wasn't my intention :( but I was also super tired last night and didn't think of my title being so basic.
I didn't mean films that were just bad with animation, I just was thinking personal opinions of bad animated movies in general for whatever reason...and yeah that's super broad ^^;. Seriously though it's interesting so many people said something here.
Thank you Rainy :) No worries though. I sort of was asking for it by thinking so broadly when I made this topic XD I'm still tired so maybe I'm still not making sense ^^;...
Anyway, I don't think watership down is bad animation or a bad movie at all now, but when I was younger it was and I still get eerie vibes whenever I see a part of it. It's the same thing with Who Framed Roger Rabbit. That movie is awesome now but I always feel on edge whenever I hear or see any part of it because it scared me so bad as a kid.
I would change the topic title but I seriously don't know what else to call the title.
-
That's cool. We got a little more info now. Just films we didn't like.
I mean, I know thats what you said originally, but you know.... we over analyze like we do MLP episodes. ;)
-
Hmmm. So movies that were animated I didn't care for?
I didn't care for Sleeping Beauty growing up, nor Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I didn't care for Fivel Goes West, Hercules, Quest for Camelot, and the Pokemon Movie. I didn't care for Doug's First Movie either way back then. I am sure there are more. Those just were ones off the top of my head.
-
Secret of NIMH 2, lol.
Like... I can't... it's not the worst, par se, but it's definitely just 'What the !@#$%^ were they thinking, man?' It's gotta be on there somewhere.
-
Yeah. It's just a "what the shit were they thinking?"
-
So many sequels were pawned off to people who really didn't care what they did to the integrity of the characters, such a shame.
-
Got a new one to add. Saw it... HORRIBLE.
"NORM OF THE NORTH."
It was completely pointless and the outcome of the film was no different then the start! Really bad cartoon film.
-
Now that last statement is kinda untrue. Sort of? He ends up married in the end with kids :P
But yeah, it's pretty bad. I saw it in theaters with my sisters. Blugh.
-
I'm sorry you had to go to a theater to see a film barely better then a direct to video film.
-
Cri.
I did find that managers arm movements rated weird yet funny though. It's like, they were trying for something that would look funny in 2D animation but just looks weird in 3D.
-
Nothing about it worked. It was a great example of a company with a low budget trying... it was an Indian animation studio, but they just couldn't successfully do it.
-
Mm. They tried. Oh well. Nothing lost expect my parents money.
-
True.
-
At least we got a Robert Shnider meme out of it.
-
Shark Tale is very bad too...
-
Oh that was,,,, yeah.
-
That was a very pandering film. Horrible characters too.
-
I remember liking it as a kid
But uh, I have no idea if I'd like it now, though.
Chances are, I might...because I'm stoopid.

Mean joke (https://youtu.be/SuFScoO4tb0?t=95). :(
I don't mean it though!
-
Emoji movie certainly isn't the worst in terms of animation.... but it is a REALLY BAD ANIMATED MOVIE. See what I did there?
-

I was just about to say, "Why has nobody mentioned the emoji movie?"
-
I agree. Emoji movie was terrible. But judging the animation itself is pretty subjective. I didn't like the animation either in that movie, or whatever you want to call it. haha
