* ''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 [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]). The faces are dull and too detailed, coming with sloppy animation, [[SpecialEffectsFailure unrealistic effects]] (one scene shown even has some gameplay footage of [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters a King of Fighters]] game for some odd reason), scary movements, and one scene, an unidentified object tossed above the village.

* ''[[Animation/AliBabaAndTheGoldRaiders Ali Baba and the Gold Raiders]]'', 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 ("WesternAnimation/PopeyeTheSailorMeetsAliBabaTheSailor" 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]].

* ''Legend of The Condor Hero'', which is an anime adaptation of Jin Yong's ''Literature/TheReturnOfTheCondorHeroes''[[note]]The title is inaccurate, the animation studio used the source material's ''prequel'' title instead; it's like naming the ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stardust Crusaders]]'' anime adaptation as ''Battle Tendency'' but that's not the point[[/note]]. Do note that only the first 26 episodes were actually made by Creator/NipponAnimation. But as a series of [[TroubledProduction production issues]], low ratings and glaring deviations from the source material made them hand the series over to Hong Kong studio Creator/JadeAnimation while they stayed to handle character designs. As a result the series suffered from a huge drop in quality, reused animations (especially in the Xiangyang arc) and even slower pacing than the anime. Only a select few post-Nippon episodes are better-drawn but the special effects look fake and did not blend well with the animation style. The ''only'' saving grace is that the Hong Kong episodes are closer to the original novel and actually cleaned some mess the anime made with the continuity because they have more episodes allocated for them.

* ''[[Animation/BeautyAndWarrior Beauty and Warrior]]'', "[[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 from ''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.

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 Franchise/TheSmurfs.

* ''The Thunder Prince''. A Korean animated ClicheStorm that makes the ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' look original, it contains [[OffModel inconsistent character designs]] that make [[ComicBook/ChickTracts Jack Chick's]] shittier illustrations look like [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Dave Gibbons']], and a ''spectacularly'' gory scene of the sidekick monkey playing around with the constituent humors of a snake's eyeballs, which the creators felt the need to ''{{flashback}}'' to for no apparent reason. The BigBad undergoes instantaneous BadassDecay, and [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil the back of the tape gives away the ending]].

*** Made even funnier that random zooming is a common (and frequently abused) trope in 90% of Indonesian shows, animated or not.

* ''Legend of The Condor Hero'', which is an anime adaptation of Jin Yong's ''Literature/TheReturnOfTheCondorHeroes''[[note]]The title is inaccurate, the animation studio used the source material's ''prequel'' title instead; it's like naming the ''[[JoJosBizarreAdventure Stardust Crusaders]]'' anime adaptation as ''Battle Tendency'' but that's not the point[[/note]].

* ''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.]]

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 ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' in [[SoundtrackDissonance fairly inappropriate times]] (the music that plays during [[spoiler:Shirley's death scene]] in ''Anime/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.

** Arguably the only redeeming factor about this movie is the occasional bits of weirdness[[note]] WalrusGuy once reffered to the film as "WebAnimation/YouTubePoop before it existed".[[/note]] such as funny faces, random plot points thrown in and out and the infamous tank scene.
