** While Cool Cat (the star of ''Looney Tunes'' during its twilight years in UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation) wasn't as popular as past characters such as WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, he still has his fans.

Beyond the [[ValuesDissonance rampant use of Native American stereotypes and jokes]] that were barely acceptable even by 1969, this cartoon relies on a [[RandomEventsPlot nonexistent story]] full of bad puns, pointless or repetitive scenes (for example, several of the gags simply consist of Indians stopping Cool Cat on the road), and groan-worthy attempts at humor, without any of the franchise's trademark slapstick; the animation and artwork are very lazy, LimitedSoundEffects are abound (one scene even [[SoundDefect uses a "poof" noise for a tipi being painted]]), Creator/LarryStorch's talent is wasted, and William Lava's music score is still unremarkable. Tragically, it was also the final Warner Bros. cartoon series veteran Creator/RobertMcKimson directed before his death in 1977.

Palmer's inexperience as a director was evident; not only did the former introduce the infamously bland Buddy, but both cartoons featured poor animation, sluggish pacing, and thin and cloying stories. The worst part? Both cartoons are utterly devoid of humor, with very few (uninspired) gags. And that was ''after'' Creator/FrizFreleng was called back in to rework these cartoons once Warners rejected the (even less funny) original versions. Palmer was sacked by Schlesinger after the cartoons were originally rejected, and the series was stuck with Buddy as its lead character until 1935, when Freleng's "WesternAnimation/IHaventGotAHat" introduced the far more successful WesternAnimation/PorkyPig and sent Buddy into an unceremonious retirement.

* Hardly any discussion of awful animated films is complete without mention of '''''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie.''''' [[AudienceAlienatingPremise Mercilessly panned from the very instant it was announced]], the film went on to prove all of its critics right. The story is [[ClicheStorm ridiculously clichéd and unoriginal]], [[TheUntwist insultingly predictable]], [[{{Anvilicious}} embarrassingly unsubtle]], TotallyRadical, painfully unfunny, and it [[BrokenAesop/TheEmojiMovie contradicts every one of its own messages]]. The subplot is barely even there, to begin with. The characters are all one-note at best--more effort seems to have gone towards the relentless ProductPlacement, and even that's muddied by the main conflict (an emoji is vilified for showing more than one emotion when in use) going against the selling point of the represented product (emojis quickly and clearly representing one thing). Other aspects of the worldbuilding representing technology in a confusing way even by kids' movie standards (such as internet trolls being treated like viruses that live in the phone). While Sony was [[http://screencrush.com/best-animated-oscars-2018-submitted-list/ absolutely certain it would win an Oscar,]] [[MedalOfDishonor it instead became the first-ever animated film]] to get nominated for and win Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screen Combo, and Worst Screenplay at the [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]]. The film [[https://www.xkcd.com/1870/ continued]] [[https://youtu.be/r2XO5i59wUg to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvQB-4bBfQ be]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjObqNxcyig torn]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja2egaTGOwE apart]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFwcY4acFyo&t=6m58s online]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxyOV0mmDDQ by]] [[https://youtu.be/qpKp0x1wm5g critic]] [[https://youtu.be/-Q9iozzThg8 after]] [[https://youtu.be/7X6rd1kyYgY critic,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVWym7KejfA for]] [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=nvXAL6mRACA&t=2m1s months]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1flQMSPnIwI on]] [[https://youtu.be/SuyW6JEpktA end]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYe6U9Dljk uninterrupted.]][[note]]Each critic from beginning to end: Webcomic/{{Xkcd}}, WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann, WebVideo/AniMat, WebVideo/IHateEverything, WebVideo/{{Bobsheaux}}, WebVideo/PhantomStrider, WebVideo/CellSpex, WebOriginal/DoubleToasted, WebAnimation/BrainDump, [[WebVideo/MrCoatAndFriends Cartoon Palooza]], [[WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter The Mysterious Mr. Enter]], WebVideo/RebelTaxi, [[Creator/BobChipman Bob Chipman]], 24 Frames of Nick, and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic.[[/note]] About two years later, WebVideo/PossumReviews [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6IbVN9f0U gave his thoughts]]. Even WebVideo/{{Saberspark}}, who considered the hate for the film throughout 2017 to be way overblown, stated [[https://youtu.be/As5GzihhWZA here]] that he considered it mediocre at best. Fun fact: The studio offered to cast Creator/JordanPeele as [[TalkingPoo the Poop Emoji]]--he cites this as a reason he retired from acting to direct. Its ''only'' saving grace is, unlike the other poorly-animated entries on this list, its [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt beautiful animation and backgrounds]], but that also goes to show that a film can't succeed on spellbinding visuals alone if everything else about it stinks. Thankfully, Sony Pictures Animation would later save its reputation from further decay by releasing the 2018 critically acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', which was not only seen by many to be a massive improvement over the former, but also helped transcend film animation into the next level.

* '''''WesternAnimation/SirBilli''''' is Scotland's first CGI feature film (it was originally promoted as Scotland's first animated feature in general but ended up stuck in DevelopmentHell for so long that ''WesternAnimation/{{The Illusionist|2010}}'' managed to steal that title from it) and stars Sir Creator/SeanConnery as the titular character, an elderly, TotallyRadical veterinarian who enjoys skateboarding in his spare time. Despite being worked on for seven years, it has bad animation, atrocious character designs, an uninteresting story about the title character saving Scotland's last beaver, and plenty of unnecessary violent and sexual innuendos [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids despite being marketed for children]]. This led to a '''0%''' on Website/RottenTomatoes, and the combination of terrible animation, inappropriate humor, TroubledProduction, and horrific reception has led to it being labeled the Scottish version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}''. On top of all that, this turned out to be Connery's final role. Notably, the directors were angry that the Scottish National Party promoted the American ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' instead of their movie. As is usual, WebVideo/{{Saberspark}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtFXBi7uxIw has you covered]] if you want a review of how thoroughly bad it is. WebOriginal/DoubleToasted has a disbelieving go at it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adXfFGbVwP8 here]]. Dazz [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOcB984YUnk calls it]] the worst film he’s seen yet.

** Creator/RobSchneider hasn't been nearly successful in film as he was in ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', but he reaches a new low with '''''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth''''', which does not pass the SoBadItsGood test by a long shot. The plot consists of Norm traveling to [[BigApplesauce New York City]] in order to stop a developer from building a housing complex in the Arctic. The story is as [[ClicheStorm clichéd]] as it is unbelievable, the pop songs are shoehorned in, the jokes (almost all of which rely on ToiletHumour) are completely unfunny, the animation (while at least still better than Video Brinquedo and Spark Plug Entertainment's animation) is bad enough to warrant asking how the film made it to theaters (it was actually originally scheduled to go DirectToVideo), the characters [[FlatCharacter have as much depth as a piece of paper]], and it hammers down an environmental message of [[GreenAesop "Save the Arctic"]] so hard that [[{{Anvilicious}} the hammer ends up breaking in two]]. All this combines to earn an embarrassing ''9%'' score on Website/RottenTomatoes, a score of 3.7/10 on IMDB, and a 22% score overall on Metacritic. It can't even hide behind the justification that [[ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars "it's made for kids"]] because, according to some reviews, even ''they'' were bored by it. For those curious, you have the opinions of WebVideo/AniMat [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOFkFdyFog here]], WebVideo/BlackCriticGuy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4zgaPeVVUY here]], WebVideo/ChrisStuckmann [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA4rmv5gvyo here]], WebOriginal/DoubleToasted [[https://youtu.be/igsRlhnK1VY here]], Jamboreeqi [[https://youtu.be/9MFLLVdrpJQ here]], Joey Tedesco [[https://youtu.be/ckUI5E7bUaE here]], and [=LewToons=] [[https://youtu.be/6lYZ3hMljFM here]] to enlighten you.

** The "[[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck Daffy]] vs. [[WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales Speedy]]" series of cartoons[[note]](in which Speedy Gonzales is pitted against Daffy Duck, whose {{Jerkass}} qualities [[{{Flanderization}} were exaggerated]] [[TookALevelInJerkass to villainous degrees]])[[/note]] and the "Larriva Eleven"[[note]](eleven [[NoBudget shoestring budget]] [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner]] cartoons outsourced to television animation studio Format Productions and directed by ex-[[Creator/ChuckJones Jones unit]] animator Rudy Larriva)[[/note]] from the series' AudienceAlienatingEra in TheSixties are of [[BrokenBase debatable quality]]. However, even fans of this era generally regard Daffy and Speedy's final classic short, [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheSixties 1968]]'s '''"WesternAnimation/SeeYaLaterGladiator"''', as the absolute nadir of the ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. This cartoon is riddled with an uncharacteristic plot (in which Daffy and Speedy are accidentally sent back in time to 65 A.D., Rome, where Emperor UsefulNotes/{{Nero}} plans to feed them to the lions as entertainment in a gladiator arena), sloppy artwork, [[LimitedAnimation half-assed animation]] (even going so far as to [[RecycledAnimation use the]] ''[[RecycledAnimation exact same background twice]]'' for Daffy looking out of a window, even though he was in a completely different room both times), bland, forgettable music (including a [[Horrible/MusicSoundtracks horribly off-key version of the already-bizarre 1960s rearrangements to "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"]]), overuse of Creator/HannaBarbera's StockSoundEffects, lame and/or borderline-nonexistent gags, and Daffy's nastier qualities returning in full swing even after prior shorts tried dialing them back, among other issues. Probably [[TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou the one good thing about it]] is Creator/MelBlanc's [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously top-notch voice acting]].

However, even fans of this era generally regard Daffy and Speedy's final classic short, [[UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheSixties 1968]]'s '''"WesternAnimation/SeeYaLaterGladiator"''', as the absolute nadir of the ''Looney Tunes'' franchise. This cartoon is riddled with an uncharacteristic plot (in which Daffy and Speedy are accidentally sent back in time to 65 A.D., Rome, where Emperor UsefulNotes/{{Nero}} plans to feed them to the lions as entertainment in a gladiator arena), sloppy artwork, [[LimitedAnimation half-assed animation]] (even going so far as to [[RecycledAnimation use the]] ''[[RecycledAnimation exact same background twice]]'' for Daffy looking out of a window, even though he was in a completely different room both times), bland, forgettable music (including a [[Horrible/MusicSoundtracks horribly off-key version of the already-bizarre 1960s rearrangements to "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"]]), overuse of Creator/HannaBarbera's StockSoundEffects, lame and/or borderline-nonexistent gags, and Daffy's nastier qualities returning in full swing even after prior shorts tried dialing them back, among other issues.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBnVL1Y2src 1967 adaptation]] of '''''Literature/TheHobbit''''' by the late Creator/GeneDeitch constitutes an animated film only in the sense that it's voiced (by only one person, who narrates everything) and has drawn images moving around a screen.
