- DirectorJózsef GémesStarsClaire BloomJoss AcklandRoy KinnearA naive princess, her beloved cat and a poor mining boy team up to save their kingdom from a nasty underground realm of bad-mannered goblins.Do you like listening to the same song over and over? I have a few of those songs I can't stop listening to.
But this movie has one song, it won't stop singing it and it's terrible. That and the movement is awkward and the princess is the poster child for girly gesture syndrome.
I can give her props for actually doing something. - DirectorCamillo TetiStarsLisa RussoMark Thompson-AshworthGisella MathewsA Cinderella meets her Prince Charming on the ill-fated Titanic. Along for the ride are a rapping dog, other talking animals, and an assortment of wacky humans.It's a terrible rip off of Titanic with a dog who raps.
- DirectorOrlando CorradiKim Jun OkStarsGregory SnegoffFrancis PardeilhanJane AlexanderA grandfather mouse tells his grandchildren the "real" story of the Titanic disaster, including himself, evil sharks, a giant octopus, and an evil whaling scheme.Nobody died, you can see already how it doesn't work.
- DirectorDick SebastStarsPeter MacNicolAndrew DucotePhillip Van DykeThe rats and mice return to Thorn Valley to groom their destined leader, young Timmy Brisby.It's basically teabags the original.
- DirectorDavid ElvinMartin GatesLibby SimonStarsPeter BaylissMichael BellJon David BushInspired by Hans Christian Anderson's classic story, the Ugly Duckling teams up with friend Scruffy, and the lovable misfits embark on a journey that helps them realize that their differences are what make them special.This was just painful to watch. I was bored when I turned it on via comcast and had to fast forward through most of it just to survive. There are some parts which are sort of cute but honestly it's just not worth the crap you have to sit through to get to them.
- DirectorBradley RaymondStarsJason AlexanderJennifer Love HewittTom HulceQuasimodo goes into action when a magician seeks to steal one of the bells of Notre Dame.
- DirectorJohn KafkaStarsJennifer HaleRob PaulsenCorey BurtonJaq and Gus create a storybook based on three events that happened after the first film. The stories include Cinderella's opposition to the court's strict etiquette, Jaq's becoming human for a day, and Anastasia's redemption through love.
- DirectorAndrew KnightStarsPaige O'HaraRobby BensonJerry OrbachAstonished to find the Beast has a deep-seated hatred for the Christmas season, Belle endeavors to change his mind on the matter.
- DirectorPhil RomanStarsRichard KindDana HillAnndi McAfeeCat and mouse duo Tom and Jerry reluctantly work together to save a young girl from her evil aunt.Tom and Jerry talk and sing about friendship while trying to save the daughter of Indiana Jones.
I know you think it sounds wholesome but that just means you don't understand the concept of 'silent comedy'.
Tom and Jerry are not supposed to talk. The worst part is that stores still sell this garbage. - DirectorFrederik Du ChauStarsJessalyn GilsigCary ElwesAndrea CorrAn adventurous girl, a young blind hermit, and a goofy two-headed dragon race to find the lost sword Excalibur to save King Arthur and Camelot from disaster.Girl wants to be knight. Girl is inept. Girl meets blind guy, blind guy kicks ass and has magic weed---I mean plants! Aanyway, an annoying dragon shows up, the girl fails, and Urkle saves the day.
The end. It sucks - DirectorRichard RichStarsMiranda RichardsonMartin VidnovicChristiane NollTraveling to the exotic kingdom of Siam, English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens soon discovers that her most difficult challenge is the stubborn, imperious King himself.They try to tell the story of the King and I but then distract you with all of their secondary characters for the entire film.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanStarsDom DeLuiseCloris LeachmanCharles Nelson ReillyAn evil Queen banishes a flower loving troll named Stanley (Dom DeLuise) to New York City, where he befriends two young children.As the nostalgia critic put it, this movie was made to show your wall. It's just a big bad of saccharine mixed with High fructose corn syrup and molasses with a heavy helping of stupidity.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanDan KuensterStarsGlen CampbellChristopher PlummerSorrell BookeIn order to defeat the wicked Grand Duke of Owls, a young boy, transformed into a cat, teams up with a group of barnyard animals to find the rooster who can raise the sun.I like this movie. It's still sloppy and random.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanStarsMartin ShortJim BelushiAnnie GoldenHubie (Martin Short) must present his special pebble to Marina (Annie Golden) before the pebble festival is over, or lose his chance forever.A valiant effort but it just falls as flat as the cliches pile up.
- DirectorPaul SabellaPhil MendezStarsRhett AkinsMark WillsLee Ann WomackFun-filled tale where three courageous young friends set out to save their pal from an evil grizzly bear and along the way they discover adventure, excitement and even a buried treasure....
It's... It's okay? It's just the music in this movie makes my ears bleed. - DirectorCharles GrosvenorStarsMichael CrawfordBen VereenEllen BlainA young mouse, mole and hedgehog risk their lives to find a cure for their badger friend, who's been poisoned by men.This one's weird. The evils of man are responsible for a mass die off in a small animal village.
I suppose you might like it if you're a furry. - DirectorJim KammerudStarsReba McEntirePatrick SwayzeJonah BoboTod and Copper still go together like an itch and a scratch, but when Copper gets a shot at the big time with a nutty group of hound dog howlers, their purebred friendship is put to the test.Copper and Todd join a band, ignoring what the first movie was all about.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanStarsJodi BensonGary ImhoffGino ConfortiThis retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen classic fairy tale has the digit-sized heroine evading the clutches of various toads, moles, and beetles before she can proceed with her courtship with her dream lover, Prince Cornelius.It's just impossible!
Don Bluth's attempt to copy the disney princess formula. - DirectorVictor CookToby SheltonTad StonesStarsJames Arnold TaylorCree SummerJohn MahoneyMilo and Kida reunite with their friends to investigate strange occurances around the world that seem to have links to the secrets of Atlantis.A failed three part pilot to a non existent TV series.
- DirectorMichael SchoemannStarsCorey FeldmanIrene CaraDom DeLuiseChristopher Columbus decides to go on a journey to prove that the Earth is not flat. His companion is a smart wood worm who's on a quest of his own: to save a beautiful fairy princess from the evil lord Swarm and his insect army.Christopher Columbus fights off a magical bug monster while being voiced by Dom Deloise.
- DirectorTibor HernádiStarsChris PhillipsMarbry StewardPeter NewmanIn another dimension, the villainous scientist Duke of Zill, with the help of his mechanical, geometric army, takes over the Land of Oriana, prompting Felix the Cat to save its princess and restore order once again.Too much noise, too much movement and a migraine. What more could you want?
- DirectorJérôme DeschampsPascal HéroldMacha MakeïeffStarsJérôme DeschampsYolande MoreauArthur DeschampsAn adaptation of Charles Perrault's famous Puss'n Boots, "The True Story of Puss'n Boots" is a story for young and old for the first time on cinema screens.This is a more recent one, and much closer to the book than Shrek's character but it's so odd and strange that it's just difficult to sit through.
- DirectorDarrell Van CittersStarsPhil LollarAlicyn PackardMichael Van CittersA fat lazy Panda named Zibo dreams of becoming a master of martial arts, but is stuck as a mere cleaner for a dojo. Little does he know that an evil tiger has plans to take over the kingdom, and he must stop him.Oh. Hi blatant rip off of Kung Fu Panda. You didn't even try to be original.
It's basically if Skunk Fu and Fairly Odd Parents had a bastard son. - DirectorJoe PytkaStarsMichael JordanWayne KnightTheresa RandleIn a desperate attempt to win a basketball match and earn their freedom, the Looney Tunes seek the aid of retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.It's a 90 minute commercial. I liked it when I was a kid but it was because I liked basketball and I loved bugs bunny.
But nothing about the cartoons that I liked was in it. - DirectorBibo BergeronVicky JensonRob LettermanStarsWill SmithRobert De NiroRenée ZellwegerWhen a son of a gangster shark boss is accidentally killed while on the hunt, his would-be prey and his vegetarian brother decide to use the incident to their own advantage.This is a pretty bad vehicle for Will Smith. Even by Will Smith standards.
- DirectorPierre DeCellesStarsGreg BergRuth BuzziNancy CartwrightA magical artifact called the Bone of Scone gives "Puppy Power" to the animals. However, villain Marvin McNasty breaks it so humans lose the ability to understand animals. The Pound Puppies tries to retrieve the Puppy Power.Another hour long commercial that is nothing like the show it was based on.
- DirectorTed BermanRichard RichStarsGrant BardsleyFreddie JonesSusan SheridanA young boy and a group of misfit friends embark on a quest to find a dark magic item of ultimate power before a diabolical tyrant can.Easily one of Disney's worse movies. It's mostly on this list because it lacks the charm of disney classics and is just filled with a plethora of annoying characters.
- DirectorRichard WilliamsStarsVincent PriceMatthew BroderickJennifer BealsA lonely princess and a poor cobbler fall in love while trying to retrieve three magical orbs that were stolen by a bumbling thief, all while outwitting a powerful sorcerer as adventure and comedic pop culture references abound.We're talking the Mathew Broderick version.
You need to watch the director's cut to avoid the bad. - DirectorBill MelendezStarsRachel WarrenSusan SokolReg WilliamsFour kids travel through a wardrobe to the land of Narnia and learn of their destiny to free it with the guidance of a lion messiah.This is probably the worst adaption of the book. It's actually scary. This movie scares me.
- DirectorArna SelznickJay MillerDick SchneiderStarsGeorgia EngelMickey RooneyJackie BurroughsThe Care Bears team up with a troubled brother and sister who just moved to a new town to help a neglected young magician's apprentice whose evil spell book causes sinister things to happen.It's... It's TOO CUDDLY! And it's just the same old same old with a bit of Micky Roonie.
- DirectorDale SchottStarsMaxine MillerPam HyattHadley KayThe Care Bears try to help a young girl at summer camp who, in an effort to revamp her dorky social status to agility and skill, enters into a sinister bargain with a shape-shifting demon posing as a young boy.DARK HEART shows up and tries to bring the world into darkness and uncaring because he's DARK HEART!
How much tension can you actually have with a bunch of multicolored ursids? It also retcons the entire first movie. - DirectorRaymond JafeliceStarsBob DermerEva AlmosDan HennesseyThe Care Bears and Alice set out to stop an evil wizard from taking over Wonderland.This one is also a little bit scary. Mostly it's just sort of a pointless romp into the world of pointless fluff.
- DirectorBruno BianchiStarsMel BlancDonna ChristiePeter CullenOn a rainy day as Uncle Heathcliff is forced to babysit his nephews, and spends the time recounting his adventures, he meets a cat who looks just like him, one where he winds up working for a mob boss, one where his dad gets released from prison but he thinks he escaped, one where he actually tries to be good, and a few others. In one tale, Heathcliff's pop gets parole, although Heathcliff thinks he's escaped; in another, Heathcliff's "good angel" conscience makes a short-lived appeal to his saintly side. Nostalgia reigns as the tabby holy terror plays various roles of television star, wrestling champ, and neighborhood bully.Bad TV animation about the character nobody cared about.
- DirectorMasami HataMasanori HataWilliam T. HurtzStarsGabriel DamonMickey RooneyRene AuberjonoisEach night, young Nemo goes to Slumberland and has adventures and befriends the king of Slumberland, Morpheus. But one night Nemo discovers Nightmare Land, and the evil nightmare king, throwing Slumberland and Nemo himself into danger.It HAD potential, but in the end Little Nemo is a snore which causes me to make terrible puns. Every bad joke I made on this page is due to this movie.
- DirectorDave EdwardsStarsKath SoucieFrank WelkerB.J. WardA little switch engine named Tillie must help the birthday train reach a town that holds a kid's upcoming birthday party. Unfortunately, it is past by a treacherous mountain.This--- Ew. It's a movie which is hard to look at.
- DirectorJames L. GeorgeBob SeeleyStarsRodney DangerfieldSusan BoydRonnie SchellA Vegas show dog gets ditched in the sticks and ends up working on a farm.It's really just a bad joke. A series of bad one liners that end up keeling over like how Rover should have ended up when the farmer takes him out to shoot him. SPOILERS!
- DirectorBruce W. SmithStarsFaizon LoveVanessa Bell CallowayRobin HarrisTo impress his new girlfriend, a man agrees to look after her friend's kids, only to find that they are uncontrollably rambunctious.I don't care if you're black and you can relate. Tell Hollywood to make better movies. Go watch Princess and the Frog. Just... Anything!
- DirectorBill KroyerStarsSamantha MathisChristian SlaterRobin WilliamsThe magical inhabitants of a rainforest fight to save their home, which is threatened by logging and a polluting force of destruction called Hexxus.Tim Curry sings seductively about pollution.
A lizard sings seductively about eating a young man. - DirectorPhil NibbelinkSimon WellsDick ZondagStarsJohn GoodmanCharles FleischerBlaze BerdahlA time traveling scientist goes back to prehistoric times and feeds dinosaurs a magic cereal that increases their intelligence - next they land in modern New York City for a series of comic adventures.Random, random, random, random. This movie is what made half of america's children ADHD in the 90s.
- DirectorPhil WeinsteinStarsJodi BensonDavid CarradineLacey ChabertBalto and his daughter Aleu embark on a journey of adventure and self discovery.Balto's daughter gets the call of the wild. A big bad wolf is antagonizing. Stuff happens. Furries love this movie.
- DirectorRichard RichStarsJack PalanceHoward McGillinMichelle NicastroA power-hungry sorcerer curses a princess to live as a swan by day in this tale of everlasting love.It's certainly not the worse, but it's kinda just the little disney rip off that almost could.
- DirectorRobert C. RamirezPatrick A. VenturaStarsThurl RavenscroftDeanna OliverEric LloydThomas M. Disch's sequel, based on the book sequel, has our heroes zooming off to, of all places, Mars.What? What? What? What? WHY?
- DirectorBob KlineCullen BlaineDale CaseStarsJeff BennettRobby BensonPaige O'HaraBeauty and the Beast "midquel" set during Belle's original stay at the Beast's castle and composed of three short stories (four in the DVD release) that suitably teach both kids and adults to forgive, love, and be kind to one another.Beast and Bell have misunderstandings and Beast is a jerk.
- DirectorDon BluthGary GoldmanStarsHank AzariaKelsey GrammerAndrea MartinThe lovable bat Bartok (Hank Azaria) goes on his own adventure and meets a pink snake, a dapper bear, Prince Ivan Romanov (Phillip Van Dyke), and evil witch Baba Yaga (Andrea Martin) trying to rule all of Russia.I guess I don't... HATE it. But it is really weird and really pointless.
- DirectorMaurice JoyceStarsThomas McHughFred NewmanChris PhillipsDoug and his pal Skeeter set out to find the monster of Lucky Duck Lake.Who actually liked the show this was based off? The movie has a TV budget, so it's not even worth watching on that note alone.
- DirectorDarrell RooneyJeannine RousselStarsScott WolfAlyssa MilanoChazz PalminteriSeeking the freedom to be a wild dog, the son of Lady and the Tramp runs away to join a gang of junkyard dogs.Child of first movie protagonists learns the same lesson as the first movie.
Just more annoying. - DirectorGlenn ChaikaStarsJennifer Love HewittElijah WoodPeter GallagherWhen two tiny people reunite fifteen years after their village was ransacked by a giant, they learn that they were very special people in the village.Another movie to add to your "This animation scares me" category.
- DirectorRoy Allen SmithStarsJohn IngleScott McAfeeCandace HutsonThis time, while building a hideaway in their new home of the Great Valley, Littlefoot and the gang rescue a mysterious egg from two scheming egg-nappers and make a starling surprise - and new friend - when the egg hatches.Honestly you can't go good with the LBT sequels. They're existence is on the sliding scale of awful. From least awful to worst. Just stick with the original.
- DirectorLarry LekerPaul SabellaStarsCharlie SheenSheena EastonDom DeLuiseCharlie and Itchy return to Earth to find Gabriel's Horn, but along the way meet up with a young boy named David, who ran away from home.The only redeeming factor is that Adam Wylie is in this and I have a soft spot for him. It is otherwise not worth your time.
- DirectorPixote HuntJoe JohnstonStarsMacaulay CulkinChristopher LloydKanin HowellA cowardly boy, who buries himself in accident statistics, enters a library to escape a storm, only to be transformed into an animated illustration by the Pagemaster. He has to work through obstacles from classic books to return to real-life.A kid who reads alot of books learns a valuable lesson in how great it is to read books.
Redundant.
Or I guess it was for him to break out of his comfort zone and read OTHER books?
But still, it's just not that great of a movie.
