* ''Blue Seagull'', an obscure South Korean animated movie from 1994 that suffers from poor animation that is sometimes recycled, ugly artwork, an incoherent plot, zero character development, unnecessary sex scenes that sometimes go on forever and add nothing to the story, extremely bland characterization, weak pacing, quick jump cuts, and horrible English subtitles.

* Your eyes will burn from watching any movie from ''Xu You Ji'', a company that Chinese families can supposedly pay $275 to feature their child in a movie. The example linked [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_rE8EFR-Trs here]] not only does completely rips off the mecha from ''GundamSeed'' and [[MoralDissonance bizarrely use the cast]] from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' as the villains, it also features horrible CG-rendered kid protagonists in [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion plugsuits.]] Moreover, it uses music from ''CodeGeass'' and ''{{Gundam 00}}'' in fairly inappropriate times (the music that plays during [[spoiler:Shirley's death scene]] in ''CodeGeass'', for example, is used as the opening song). All in all, the unnerving combination of UncannyValley children and countless copyright violations has attracted much hate across the entire internet and led to demands to shut down the company.

* ''Animation/SpaceThunderKids'', an animated movie straight from Korea about the Dark Empire trying to conquer the universe and three children that try to stop them with their {{Humongous Mecha}}s. Of course, the movie follows the plot very loosely as it {{Jump Cut}}s ''often'', leaving the story with a lot of unanswered questions. OffModel plagues this movie as characters are constantly drawn differently and have very strange facial expressions. Worst of all, it blatantly [[{{Plagiarism}} rips off]] ''CaptainHarlock'', ''GetterRobo'', ''MobileSuitGundam'', ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', ''{{Tron}}'', and many more.
** Wonder why the characters or robots are never drawn the same, or why the plot makes so little sense? Because the movie was made by copypasting ''eight different movies''.

* ''Kiara the Brave'' is an [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/cgi/meet-indias-answer-to-brave-called-kiara-the-brave-64727.html obvious]] {{mockbuster}} of Pixar's {{WesternAnimation/Brave}}, filled with the terribly dated and jerky CGI animation, child pandering dialogue, and weak voice acting that we've come to expect from titles like these. But what makes a title like this in particular so horrible is that it ''isn't'' based on {{WesternAnimation/Brave}} at ALL. While the ripoff heroine is on the box, the movie is a total [[BaitAndSwitch Bait and Switch]]. [[http://www.toonzone.net/2012/07/review-kiara-the-brave/#.UNETX2_olcV It turns out]] this movie was actually released in 2011 under the name "Super K", and the princess character was marketed to fool people into thinking it was related to the more recent movie. The ''real'' movie is centered around an unsubtle plot making reference to global warming involving a superpowered indian child who can control the weather. It's terrible too, but at least it's not pretending to be something it isn't. WebVideo/CinematicExcrement took a look at this garbage [[http://blip.tv/cinematic-excrement/episode-33-kiara-the-brave-6283586 so you don't have to.]]

* ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876517/ The Legend of Kung Fu Rabbit]]'' (''Tu Xia Chuan Qi''), a Chinese film that is ''very'' obviously a ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' {{mockbuster}}, only with a rabbit who looks like a mix of [[ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo Miyamoto Usagi]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Richard Watterson]], and a [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Moogle]], voiced by Jon Heder in a SimpletonVoice. One of the other voice actresses is Music/RebeccaBlack, and the creators are ''proud'' of the fact that they snagged the singer of the notorious "Music/{{Friday}}". It has a 3.3 on {{IMDb}}, a 2/5 on Redbox, and [[http://japancinema.net/2011/09/08/legend-of-a-rabbit-review/ this]] review gave it a D-plus. The film got somewhat popular in the US by distribution in Redbox machines and UsefulNotes/{{Walmart}}. Watch the trailer [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVkNIvILRD8 here]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP1vQVTT_mM It's DA. NUTSHACK!]] ''The Nutshack'' is the first TV show aimed directly at Filipino-Americans. Horrendous characters, embarrassingly-awful animation, terrible voice acting, and a childish approach to...well, ''everything''. It would be horrendous for something on ''Website/{{Newgrounds}}'', let alone television. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCA_TaD04TA And if the intro wasn't enough to scare you away...]] Made worse by the fact that it's a wholesale rip-off of ''Film/{{Friday}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzshjwhXnVA The Animated Series]]''.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKy6Vgjtugk Another notorious work]] from ''Xu You Ji'' features a Chinese girl saving her castle by the sea and a unicorn. The villain arrived to the scene to bring evil, but the girl transformed herself into a mermaid to go underwater to find a fairy. About EVERYTHING underwater (and the song [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "Under the Sea"]]) is stolen with original content like characters, considering that the backgrounds were from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' if you notice the anemone and fish. Why did our poorly-rendered heroine go underwater before stopping the witch? By getting an ultra-realistic fairy and tour across the Great Barrier Reef?

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiO5sz6QETY Shen Shou Jing Gang]] (also known as Celestial Warriors) is clearly a rip-off of [[PowerRangers a certain popular show]]. The main hero is the ''yellow'' ranger (though, to be fair, since the show uses TheFourGods, it's obvious that he is meant to be the Yellow Dragon, which is kind of the king of those beasties). Have we mentioned the awful ConspicuousCG yet? And why haven't its licensing agent notice what it rips-off? [[http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i675.htm More info.]]

* ''Animation/AliBabaAndTheGoldRaiders'', from the same Indonesian animation studio that brought us ''Beauty and Warrior'' and ''Space Thunder Kids'' (see below). The animation's laughably amateurish, being no more than hand-drawn characters incongruously imposed over a 3-D background ("PopeyeMeetsAliBaba" did that better with ''1937 technology''!). Despite being set in the Prince Ali Baba mythos, a guy wearing [[AnachronismStew a Batman t-shirt and a fat dude wearing sunglasses and sneakers are seen]], telling us just how seriously the filmmakers are treating the source material. The plot's ridiculous, most of the characters are idiots and it has one of the stupidest endings ever: the leader of the gold raiders (the main villain) is tied up and yelled at to get out (despite the fact he's tied up)...[[NoEnding and then the words "Ali Baba and the Gold Raiders" appear on the screen and the credits roll]].

* ''Animation/BeautyAndWarrior'', "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpG1hWQwulA The Worst Anime Ever]]," is what happens when you let a financial company make a movie that's not just a commercial. Deplorable dubbing, abysmal animation, and painfully obvious overused StockFootage. The plot is boring, incomprehensible, and almost nonexistent. Its most glaring flaw, however, is that it only has [[OnlySixFaces two or three character designs]]. The only difference between the two brothers, for instance, is eye color. The movie's one "saving grace" is that it's only about 50 minutes long.

* ''The King of Tibetan Antelope'' is a 2010 animated miniseries by Shenzen Films. The plot is about a young Tibetan antelope who wonders off to the "Way of the Antelope's Home" with friends after losing his mother. Basically, it's very reminiscient to two greater {{Disney}} features, only substituting ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'''s deer with antelope (The antelope's faces are very similar to the faces of the lions in ''The Lion King''), and directly lifting the "Circle of Life" sequence, the Pride Rock pose, the orphan plot element, and so forth fro ''Disney/TheLionKing''. Characters are CelShaded, making the series resembling a [=Happy2Doo=] film and it looks like a cheap and flat-out attempt to achieve traditional animation visuals. And then the environments are ConspicuousCG and looks like it's straight from a PlaystationOne game. Some animations are very horrible too, for example, when the walking animation of an adult antelope stops in poor timing after her model's movement in the beginning. [[http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/WDlMk6agRUU/ Here is a video of the first episode with English subtitles.]]

* ''Tales in Mushroom Village'' is a 2010 CG animated series by ''Anhui Lister 3D Animation'' from China. It's filled with [[PettingZooPeople humanoid animals]] who [[UncannyValley looked too scary in anyway]] (the yellow one has a strange resemblance to a Pikachu). The faces are dull and too detailed, as well as sloppy animation, [[SpecialEffectsFailure unrealistic effects]] (one scene shown even has some gameplay footage of [[TheKingOfFighters a King of Fighters]] game for some odd reason), scary movements, and one scene, an unidentified object tossed above the village. The show's licensing agent says that it was a sci-fi series, but existing footage (only one video so far) didn't show any sense of it. The Chinese name (蘑菇村的故事) conflicts with a more popular series starring anthropomorphic mushrooms, who they're way better than the CG show, and even TheSmurfs. [[http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTc4Mjk2Njk2.html Have a look on the worst]], and the [[http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i618.htm description, and cover]]. Don't forget to translate the comments.
