    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    It's probably a little too late for me to mention this, but I thought I'd link to what went on during the production of Sausage Party here, on the off chance that anyone here hasn't read about it yet.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Well, I can't say I would blame any one who got sick of Frozen. As for the studio's upcoming non-Nut Job film, its premise amounts to this (a paraphrase for the uninitiated): "A teenage monkey and his two pals, a fox and a warthog, set out to take down an evil general and save the planet from...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I agree with that last one. I would say that the makers of the "franchise" are almost reaching Active Enterprises or Wolf Tracer levels of hopeless delusions, except The Nut Job actually did make back its money and is at least somewhat better made than Action 52 or Rapsittie Street Kids. I...

    Only somewhat CGI-related, but I think you guys should have a look at this: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/nut-job-turned-live-stage-show-will-tour-100-countries-142114.html

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Earlier today, I checked out the Weinstein's English dub of Foosball on Netflix (they finally decided to release it a while ago after a few delays and a cancellation). To be honest, I don't think they mangled it as badly as they did with The Magic Roundabout, but there were still some...

    Agreed. Oh, and the guy who created Dorbees also did a CGI Christian kids' series called Gaither's Pond: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaither%27s_Pond Unlike Dorbees, though, it seems to have gotten minor success.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    No kidding. What I don't like about plenty of Christian kids' media is that the vast majority of it is made with little-to-no effort and banking entirely on mentions of God and other stuff and whatnot to re-instill kids' faith in God (VeggieTales is at least entertaining even to some...

    Oh, and a couple weeks ago, The Mysterious Mr. Enter posted an "Animated Atrocities" review card on his deviantART page of this piece of garbage:

    Honestly, I'm not exactly optimistic for a Shrek 5 in the slightest. Hopefully, I'll be wrong and they actually come up with better jokes than in the 3rd movie... or maybe not. Oh, and I think this is worth a mention...

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Well, this is quite the CGI kids' film battle we've got going on this summer. The Secret Life of Pets and Ice Age: Collision Course are topping the box office in some countries but more praise is going to Finding Dory (OK, to be fair, some countries haven't seen it yet). To be honest, I wonder...

    I just saw that trailer. Hoo boy. Oh, and that reminds me of the Smurfs reboot film coming next year. At least Sony Pictures Animation is doing that in all CGI. Can't say it'll make up for the two Smurfs movies they were involved with, though.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    My observations about the cast are as follows: * At least anyone who finds out about it will almost certainly maintain that Emily Blunt's role in the upcoming My Little Pony film will look more dignified. * Ian McKellen... I wonder if this will be worse than attaching his name to the atrocious...

    I've got... nothing. That is, except I'm baffled that they're using a Lady Gaga song from 2009.

    I heard today that there will be a Playmobil film coming out. Then I wondered, "Was it the success of The Lego Movie that prompted it?"

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Me, I'm a little more concerned with Boss Baby. Though it will obviously be CGI and the premise at least sounds silly and cartoonish, I'm certain that it'll be just another "baby who's like an adult" thing. At least it'll be better than Baby Geniuses.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    Well, unless it's the newest movie franchise based on a YA novel franchise, well, technically it's Summit, but still. No doubt, the next good kids' movie on their hands will be the upcoming MLP:FiM movie. On another note, I recall when it was mostly an "indie" studio from Canada. I even...

    I guess so. Dumb question, but do you think Lionsgate needs to find better CGI studios to work with, better writers to work with or better people with actual business sense? I know Lionsgate will no doubt do none of those things, but I just wanted to get that out of my system.

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I don't mean to tempt fate or something, but if Lionsgate's next CGI movie (and I find it hard to imagine what that will be about) actually fails at the box office... I wonder how it will go down with them? Speaking of which, I found a press-release from 2005 when they announced a pact with...

    So I found out that Ken Katsumoto was a producer of Norm of the North. Though IMDB doesn't mention it, he was also executive producer of one of Lionsgate's earlier CG efforts, Arthur's Missing Pal. Anyone else remember that? Richard Rich had a hand in that Arthur movie too as a producer. I...

    Well, at least some actual reviews, and not just astroturfed ones, are on IMDB now. Unfortunately... it will no doubt make back its (ludicrously small) budget.
