Animated movies have always been a bit of a mixed bag.
From memorable classics like Toy Story, Finding Nemo or Into The Spider-Verse, or hilarious
meme-material like Shrek or Kung Fu Panda, animated movies have always had their fair
share of the spotlight.
But over the past 20 or so years, there has been a wide array of a special type of animated
movies.
Terrible ones.
Today, I have decided to take 10 of these terrible, disgusting abominations, and risk
my life in reviewing every single one of them.
Welcome, to the top 10 WORST animated movies of all time!
#10: Shark Tale 2004 was a great year for animated movies.
While Polar Express got mixed reviews on its motion capture, it was certainly a great film
otherwise, and it set the standard in what was possible in those years.
The Incredibles was just a cult classic in terms of brilliant Pixar movies, and many
find it to be their favourite Pixar or even Disney movie.
And the first SpongeBob movie will always be one of my all-time guilty pleasures, even
if it is loved by pretty much everyone.
But 2004 was also the year another movie was released, that movie being Shark Tale.
Shark Tale is the definition of pandering to the lowest common denominator to make a
profit, and oh did it make it!
This movie made 367 million dollars at the box office, starred famous YouTuber Will Smith
(ya), and even got nominated for Best Animated Feature!
Let’s get one thing straight: this movie is terrible.
Not only did they cash in in every famous pop culture icon at the time, but they even
managed to convince the Oscars to nominate them!
This movie’s atmosphere looks like it was set in the pile of trash that collected on
the side of the lake, rather than the beautiful setting of underwater.
Finding Nemo, which was released just a year before this, looked stunning!
But this movie looks really garbage!
I think some characters were animated with some motion capture, because some of them
look like their actors, but even if it was, it wouldn’t look any less garbage!
Oscar, the main character, is an unlikable shell of a character, and we have no reason
to root for his success, you know, the entire point of a protagonist?!
And in terms of plot, this movie fails hard.
JABLINKSI, WHY WERE YOU IN THIS MY MAN?!
#9: Minions The more we’ve evolved as a species, I’ve
come to realize that money has become the sole intention of movies nowadays.
With Disney making 5 films to reach a billion dollars in a year, and animated movies grossing
literally billions with the hundreds of sequels that exist.
Illumination Entertainment’s only motivation for making movies is money.
Nothing else, just money.
With bland characters, terrible rehashed plots, sad comedy, and only really good animation,
Illumination is a terrible company with only the bank in mind.
Minions is the fourth film in the Despicable Me franchise, I guess, and there’s even
a sequel set to come out in 2020.
This movie, just like Cars 2, takes the comic relief, AND SHOVES IT IN YOUR FACE!
And let me just say, I’d rather have 100 Maters but less of these annoying little piles
of excrement!
Minions were the worst part of the latter 2 Despicable Me movies.
And they decide to take those, and give them their own movie!
WHY?
(mr krabs money)
#8: Mars Needs Moms Remember The Polar Express?
Remember how it was an impeccable story and one of the best 2000s movies to date?
Remember how the only flaw with it was its use of motion capture and how uncanny it looked
in many scenes?
Remember how motion capture costs more than live action and animation and how it almost
always looks worse than both?
Well, I think knowing all that info, we should make a motion capture movie, with a lackluster
and boring plot, with characters that act and look nothing like real people, and have
our movie be based on Mars!
That sure would get the big bucks!
But oh wait, unlike most of the films here, this movie actually had a BUDGET!
And it even made remarkable cash at the box office!
And it’s a DISNEY MOVIE?
Oh well, I guess that’s that!
#7: Elf Bowling: The Movie Elf Bowling, a game produced by NStorm in
1999, a game that has amazing reviews like “This game helped me pull through my relationship
with my parents.
It made me appreciate them when they beat me daily.”, got a movie over 8 years later.
Titled ‘Elf Bowling The Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike’, this movie is the
most unnecessary thing to ever exist.
Next thing you know, we’re gonna have the Tetris Movie, where we get the story of the
odd-one-out Tetris block who has a hard time finding his place and makes friends along
the way.
Seriously though, this movie was never a big deal as far as I’m aware, and there’s
no reason why this should exist.
Worse than that, this came out 8 years too late, and also sucks in every way.
The animation, as we’ve established multiple times throughout this list, is ugly and terrible.
I didn’t even watch till half an hour because it was just so unbearably boring to get through.
Just a mess.
#6: Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe In Santa This film is embarrassingly bad.
While it doesn’t come off as an intentionally terrible movie, it still has a LOT of problems.
The first and largest of these problems is the animation!
Or rather, whatever the frick you’d call this!
The character designs are awful, down to the terrifying faces and movement of them all.
When they walk, they look like they’re floating!
When they talk, they look like the E.T. if he swallowed sandpaper seventeen times and
got hit in the head about fifty!
When they laugh, they look like demonic seizure-induced monsters.
The textures are just non-existent, and its clear that a lot of the assets were taken
from other places.
3D and 2D don’t blend at all, and it’s just a pain to look at!
There are lots of scenes where NOTHING happens, and none of the characters feel original or
new at all!
The plot is so hard to follow because it’s so fricking slow, and everything here is just
a bore to get through.
While it doesn’t look intentionally garbage, it can still be unintentionally garbage.
(grandma laugh)
#5: Foodfight Foodfight is probably the saddest and scariest
thing to ever be classified as a movie.
Released in 2012, this movie is estimated to have a production budget of 45 to 65 million
dollars!
For reference, the first Toy Story had a budget of 30 million dollars.
I have no idea what that money went towards.
For starters, this movie only made 73 thousand dollars, which is kinda impossible with that
big of a budget.
This movie’s animation looks horrendously scary, which is kinda sad with that big of
a budget.
Nothing in this movie looks or sounds good at all.
What did that money go towards?
Besides casting Charlie Sheen, which is actually pretty funny if you think about it, this movie’s
budget was a complete waste.
Just opening your eyes and watching this movie for 5 minutes reveals just how atrocious the
animation is!
I mean it looks like a cut scene from a 90s Playstation game or something!
Whoever was drunk enough to say that this movie was in ANY way a success or even good
at all, should really be fired from judging anything else in history!
#4: The Little Panda Fighter The Little Panda Fighter is ironically my
favorite movie of all time.
Watching this movie back for the first time after a few years made me realize how great
this film was to watch ironically.
But to be honest, this is a pile of garbage.
The way the characters speak in this movie is so fast that it might just be the most
egregious thing you will ever see on television to the point that even a short sentence sounds
uncanny, and when they need to, they slooooow dooooown.
I’m pretty sure that’s because this was made by the Brazilian film company Video Brinquedo,
which is famous for making low tier ripoffs of famous movies.
Thus they have to dub over the Brazilan dialogue, but it is done so poorly that I could literally
do better recording it on the side of the highway at rush hour.
If your eyes had been closed for the past few seconds, you might not have come to realize
that this is a ripoff of the amazing Kung Fu Panda, which came out only 5 months before
this pile of garbage did.
Not only does the poster look nearly identical to Kung Fu Panda, but even trying to classify
this Adobe After Effects mutant creature as a panda is doing pandas a huge disservice.
Why does the animation in this movie look like trash?
Why?
Why do the characters move like that, and why do the assets for this movie look like
they were taken from a free-to-use stock animation website from 1987?
The plot is so unbearably terrible and hard to follow, and the characters are so badly
done that this seems more like a mockery than a parody.
And yes, those are slightly different.
(Ain’t that a kick in the head?)
#3: Norm of the North From the brilliantly stupid mind of Hollywood
“legend” Rob Schneider, we got the 2016 film: Norm of the North!
And this 30 million dollar box office was apparently so impressive that they decided
to make 2 more films to pad out this trilogy.
This movie is probably the laziest thing I have ever seen!
The plot makes no sense, our main character is unlikeable and doesn’t eat meat even
though he wouldn’t live if that happened, no character in this movie has any impact,
with some of them even getting one fricking line, and this movie has its own minions.
Yes, in the form of these gargantuanly obnoxious lemmings, this movie thinks it can give Despicable
Me a run for its money! *whisper* Oh wait, the Minions movie made over a billion dollars
at the box office, so where does that leave this movie?
In the gutter where it belongs.
This was animated by the same people from the Barbie movies, and that just explains
so much!
A lot of characters here move in really weird and uncanny ways, and it looks like there
were some rendering issues from the version of it that I saw.
We have multiple characters here who are supposedly important even though they do nothing to impact
the story and only really say one or two jokes.
And oh, that’s the funny part, as a comedy, this movie fails HARD!
No joke here is remotely funny, and no scene is remotely entertaining.
And oh, I almost forgot the non-carnivorous polar bear in the room: this movie blatantly
rips off Happy Feet, Minions and even Lion King in some scenes.
And is it mean to say that all three of those films, including the mediocre Happy Feet and
terrible Minions are a hundred times better than this?
Because they ARE!
#2: Emoji Movie Ah yes, the most hated film of 2017 and probably
the 2010s in general, is this abomination!
While the Emoji Movie, or should I say the Candy Crush commercial isn’t bad in a technical
sense like garbage animation, shocking gross out or other blatant things, it manages to
be the most pandering and unoriginal thing to ever exist!
It copies pretty much every animated movie of the last 20 years, from Inside Out, to
Wreck It Ralph, to even The Lego Movie.
Three films that are infinitely more enjoyable to watch than this.
Apart from being a 90-minute ad for some phone games, apps and emojis, The Emoji Movie is
a pandering and garbage excuse from the concept alone, being about the most shallow and basic
thing that you could base a movie on.
Human’s invented language FOR A REASON and emojis are just a cookie-cutter and shallow
way for people to communicate.
So from the getgo it's not an easy concept to get right.
And apart from the animation, which actually looks pretty good, this movie is a superficial
plot with terrible characters, a boring soundtrack, lacklustre voice acting, with only one merit
seeming to be great, and that’s the advertising that made this 200 fricking million dollars!
Just...meh.
Honorable Mentions: Cars 2
Don’t get me wrong, comic relief is great.
When they bounce off of the main character, it can make for some pretty decent comedy.
But when it doesn’t, we get stuff like Planet Sheen or Patrick-centred SpongeBob episodes.
And this movie sets Mater as the main protagonist here, even though that’s a rookie mistake
on a basic level.
This movie is also not funny at all, the animation looks very dull, just like the first, and
the story is really boring to get through.
Not the worst Pixar movie, but at least films like Good Dinosaur actually look decent!
This movie fails from the start, and it adds nothing new to this franchise.
The only redeeming this was LEMONS!
Trolland Ugliest.
Animated.
Movie.
Ever.
#1: Where The Dead Go To Die This is the worst animated, if not worst movie
ever.
This movie...is it even fair to call this a movie?
In a world where such masterpieces as the classic Pixar movies, or even Christopher
Nolan’s impeccable collage of film, we also have this abomination.
Not only is this movie bad, it’s insultingly bad.
I usually don’t like to name people off when doing these reviews, but at this point
I don’t care in the slightest.
Jimmy ScreamerClauz is the ‘director’ of this literal nightmare.
I don’t know how high or how drunk or even how mean spirited and fricking maniacal you
have to be to make this, but my god, you did it my friend.
This is the scariest horror movie of all time.
I wouldn’t even call it horror, but it directly implies that from the getgo.
Talking about plot, characters or animation is a joke at this point, because...this movie
fails on a far different level.
Please, if you are watching this video, do not watch this movie.
Don’t be curious, it is the most disturbing and disgusting thing you will ever see.
Don’t support this movie in even talking bad about it.
The only reason I’m doing it is so you don’t have to.
No no, this, this is what you make when you are bitter.
Well let me tell you something Jimmy ScreamerClauz, I hope you never make another film again.
I was gonna say something a little more crude, but then I realized this video might get taken
down because I HAVE SO MUCH ANGER TOWARDS THIS MOVIE!
I guess topping off the list was enough to support this movie in some way, but honestly
I don’t care.
The sole intention is to be shocking, and if you wanna get shocked, be my guest.
You’ll never unsee it though, I can tell ya that much.
Thank you for watching this video, please don’t support these movies, and just trust
me when I say that they are bad.
Of course, opinions are opinions and I don’t expect you to agree with me, but just know
that regardless.
If you enjoyed this list, try suggesting more lists for me to do in the future, and be sure
to follow me on Twitter to be up-to-date on the channel, and join my Discord server to
have fun chatting with me and other members.
Thank you so much for watching, and I’ll see you ladies and jellyfish, in the next
one.
Ciao!
