* '''''Mustafa and the Magician''''' is a computer-animated movie produced by Pentamedia Graphics and distributed by Shemaroo (who are also responsible for the aforementioned ''Kiara the Brave''). Originally released in 2003 as ''Son of Alladin'' and re-edited for release in '''2016''', it hardly looks it as the animation consists of awkward and herky-jerky MotionCapture (many of the characters [[UncannyValley look detailed to the point of]] ''[[UncannyValley creepy]]'') that would've barely passed muster on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. The writing isn't much better; not only does the plot move at a sluggish pace but (among other things) the [[GenericDoomsdayVillain run-of-the-mill]] [[EvilSorcerer villainous wizard]]'s goal of [[WouldHurtAChild trying to kill Alladin's son]] to reign supreme or else get defeated is ripped off from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' and Mustafa himself is a generic hero at best and [[DesignatedHero an ethically dubious protagonist at worst]]([[StalkerWithACrush he stalks the princess, even when she's]] ''[[ThePeepingTom taking a bath]]'', and proclaims [[SuddenlySuitableSuitor his intent to vie for her hand in marriage]] after she ''clearly states'' how upset she is with it). Even worse, the 2016 version [[DubInducedPlotHole being edited down considerably causes the film to make less sense]], one example is a song from the original celebrating Mustafa's transition to adulthood being removed which causes him to seemingly grow out of the blue. And to top it all off, the English dub is ''dreadful'', with inconsistent volume levels and almost every character [[DullSurprise sounding uninterested]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pyt0j-Fw6M Saberspark reviewed it]] and declared it was so bad that he (begrudgingly) declared ''WesternAnimation/LeoTheLion'' is '''no longer''' the worst animated film on Creator/{{Netflix}}. More baffling than the movie itself is that Pentamedia actually ''submitted'' the ''Mustafa and the Magician'' version to the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedFeature Oscars]] [[note]](yes, the same Academy Awards ceremony in which ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' won that award)[[/note]], making it one of only ''two'' known animated films considered DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible to be an entry for that award (the other being ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'').

* '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiO5sz6QETY Shen Shou Jing Gang]]''''' (also known as ''Celestial Warriors'') is clearly a rip-off of [[Franchise/SuperSentai a certain]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers popular show]]. The main hero is the ''Yellow'' Ranger (though to be fair, since the show uses TheFourGods, it's obvious that he's meant to be the Yellow Dragon, which is kind of the king of those beasts). Have we mentioned the awful early-season CG yet, or the absurdly cheap 2D or 3D animation depending on the season, or how the two are sometimes incongruent (the chubby Blue Ranger's CG model has the same body type as his fellows)? And why hasn't its licensing agent noticed what it rips off? [[http://web.archive.org/web/20150109031026/http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i675.htm More info.]]

* '''''The King of Tibetan Antelope''''' is a 2010 animated miniseries by Shenzen Films. The plot is about a young Tibetan antelope who wanders off to the "Way of the Antelope's Home" with friends after losing his mother. The problem is not the plot (which, albeit not too original, could have been interesting), but rather [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot the execution]]: Basically, it's too reminiscent of two Creator/{{Disney}} features, replacing ''WesternAnimation/{{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 ''WesternAnimation/{{TheLionKing|1994}}''. Characters are CelShaded, making the series look like a cheap and flat-out attempt to achieve traditional animation visuals, the environments are [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects computer-generated and don't blend at all with the characters]], and most of the animations have very little sense of scale, depth, and movement - 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.]] Fortunately, [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel the 2015 film]] has a more decent plot and [[ArtEvolution much better art]] to the point of SceneryPorn. This film adaptation has become a minor CultClassic courtesy of [[VindicatedByHistory a YouTube upload]], which can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaFpVOBIMNc here]].

* '''''Kiara the Brave''''' poses as a [[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.

The problem is not the plot (which, albeit not too original, could have been interesting), but rather [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot the execution]]: Basically, it's too reminiscent of two Creator/{{Disney}} features, replacing ''WesternAnimation/{{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 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''. Characters are CelShaded, making the series look like a cheap and flat-out attempt to achieve traditional animation visuals, the environments are [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects computer-generated and don't blend at all with the characters]], and most of the animations have very little sense of scale, depth, and movement - 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.]] Fortunately, [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel the 2015 film]] has a more decent plot and [[ArtEvolution much better art]] to the point of SceneryPorn.

Even worse, the 2016 version [[DubInducedPlotHole being edited down considerably causes the film to make less sense]], one example is a song from the original celebrating Mustafa's transition to adulthood being removed which causes him to seemingly grow out of the blue.

* '''''Mustafa and the Magician''''' is a computer-animated movie produced by Pentamedia Graphics and distributed by Shemaroo (who are also responsible for the aformentioned aforementioned ''Kiara the Brave''). Originally released in 2003 as ''Son of Alladin'' and re-edited for release in '''2016''', it hardly looks it as the animation consists of awkward and herky-jerky MotionCapture (many of the characters [[UncannyValley look detailed to the point of]] ''[[UncannyValley creepy]]'') that would've barely passed muster on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2. The writing isn't much better; not only does the plot move at a sluggish pace but (among other things) the [[GenericDoomsdayVillain run-of-the-mill]] [[EvilSorcerer villainous wizard]]'s goal of [[WouldHurtAChild trying to kill Alladin's son]] in order to reign supreme or else get defeated is ripped off from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' and Mustafa himself is a generic hero at best and [[DesignatedHero an ethically dubious protagonist at]] ''[[DesignatedHero worst]]'' (to name a couple of examples, [[StalkerWithACrush he stalks the princess, even when she's]] ''[[ThePeepingTom taking a bath]]'', and proclaims [[SuddenlySuitableSuitor his intent to vie for her hand in marriage]] after she ''clearly states'' how upset she is with it). Even worse, the 2016 version [[DubInducedPlotHole being edited down considerably causes the film to make less sense]], one example being is a song from the original celebrating Mustafa's transition to adulthood being removed which causes him to seemingly grow out of the blue. And to top it all off, the English dub is ''dreadful'', with inconsistent volume levels and most almost every character [[DullSurprise sounding uninterested]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pyt0j-Fw6M Saberspark reviewed it]] and declared it was so bad that he (begrudgingly) declared ''WesternAnimation/LeoTheLion'' is '''no longer''' the worst animated film on Creator/{{Netflix}}. More baffling than the movie itself is that Pentamedia actually ''submitted'' the ''Mustafa and the Magician'' version to the [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardForBestAnimatedFeature Oscars]] [[note]](yes, the same Academy Awards ceremony in which ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' won that award)[[/note]], making it one of only ''two'' known animated films considered [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible Horrible]] to be an entry for that award (the other being ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'').
* '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiO5sz6QETY Shen Shou Jing Gang]]''''' (also known as ''Celestial Warriors'') is clearly a rip-off of [[Franchise/SuperSentai a certain]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers popular show]]. The main hero is the ''Yellow'' Ranger (though to be fair, since the show uses TheFourGods, it's obvious that he's meant to be the Yellow Dragon, which is kind of the king of those beasties). beasts). Have we mentioned the awful early-season CG yet, or the absurdly cheap 2D animation, or how the two are sometimes incongruent (the chubby Blue Ranger's CG model has the same body type as his fellows)? And why hasn't its licensing agent noticed what it rips off? [[http://www.[[http://web.archive.org/web/20150109031026/http://www.kuowei.com/trailer-i675.htm More info.]]

Old Master Q: Fantasy Zone Battle is removed because despite the legitimate criticisms, it doesn't really count as So Bad, It's Horrible since the show is well-received, albeit average and at worst, is only considered So Bad, It's Good.


* '''''Old Master Q: Fantasy Zone Battle''''' is a 2006 spin-off of the classic Master Q Main/{{Manhwa}} and an attempt to create a more “epic” instalment of the old comic series. Created by Hong Kong’s [[IronicName Glorious Media Studios]], the story revolves around the bumbling trio of Master Q, Big Potato and Master Chin adventuring into classic fairy tale worlds to save their creator, Alphonso Wong. The story is just an excuse to revive a mostly forgotten, decades-old comic (after the 2001 live-action Master Q film failed to revive any hype for the franchise) by mashing the trio into classic fairy tales like "Literature/{{Tarzan}}", "Literature/TheLittleMermaid", "Literature/{{Aladdin}}" [[note]]([[AdaptationDisplacement somehow]] based on the Disney animated version instead of the actual story from the ''Literature/ArabianNights'', which is ''actually'' set in China instead of the Middle East… this being a Chinese/Hong Kong production, they should have known better)[[/note]], and "The Ballad of WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}" [[note]](since when is Mulan a "classic" fairy tale? It’s based on real-life history, and children of the world would have practically never heard of the story of Mulan if not for the 1998 Disney movie, which is 8 years old when this series came out)[[/note]]. Also, one of the so-called "classic" stories is "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Brothers The Tale of Ten Brothers]]", an old Chinese legend obscure even among Asian communities, yet the creators of the show thinks its somehow okay to lump it with Tarzan and The Little Mermaid as a "classic" fairy tale. The entire series runs on ExcusePlot, combined with LimitedAnimation and referencing pop-culture elements which are hyped back in the early 2000s [[note]](The aforementioned Mulan crossover have plenty of references to ''Film/ShaolinSoccer'', which came out in 2001, meaning the creators are at least 5 years too late to jump on the hype train)[[/note]] makes this show a badly dated UnintentionalPeriodPiece. But let’s have a look at some "highlights" of its animation...
** [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=147 This shot of dialogue right in the first episode should give you a clue on how mediocre the animation is]]. Notice Alphonso Wong's (a recurring character, mind you) lack of eyes for the animators to slack on their work? Or the sheer lack of facial movements as they talked? Or [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=239 this conversation scene between two characters]] that looks so painfully stiff?
** The Mulan crossover episode had a scene where [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Mulan tries to fight her own dad]]. Try watching the [[https://youtu.be/aqieFrglNBM?t=616 fight scene]] without cringing at the painfully stiff animation, excessive number of close-ups, and the [[LazyArtist Lazy Animator’s]] attempts to cheat by letting the audience "hear" the fighting scenes in the background.[[note]]Scratch that, check out the [[https://youtu.be/gvobZeCkVfA?t=145 football match scene]] between [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Team Master Q and Mulan vs Team Shaolin Monks]]. This is how you animate a soccer match scene using Microsoft Power Point, apparently.[[/note]]
** Episodes 5 – 6 is a {{Crossover}} between Literature/{{Tarzan}} and ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' (for some reason...?) which opens with Tarzan and his best friend Simba fighting a horde of crocodiles. Even with the extremely low budget given for their fight scenes, the [[https://youtu.be/-jSE3oQns7I?t=208 animators apparently gave up half-way through]]. Behold, an epic BattleOfTheStillFrames!
** For more examples of BattleOfTheStillFrames, check out the climax of the Little Mermaid crossover arc, which ends with the merfolk and the Dragon King’s crustacean army battling against the Shark-men. It sounds awesome on paper, [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=966 but the moment you see how the battle scenes are animated]]... [[note]] Actually forget the big battle scene, check out the scene where the Dragon King arrives to assist the main characters fight the Dark Lord… [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=1112 one of the most pathetically-animated action scenes ever put on celluloid]], and that’s part of the ''climax'' of the episode! [[/note]]
** Remember the part about the crossover with "The Tale of Ten Brothers"? Here, the crossover concludes with the titular brothers help Master Q and friends fight off a warlord’s army. Running painfully low on budget, some "epic moments" includes the scene where the Brother with Invincibility [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1072 uses his bulletproof skin to deflect bullets]]. Or the [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1103 scene where a character with super strength using his powers to save everyone from a cannon]] (which obviously missed its shot) and then fighting off enemy tanks using animation worthy of a gif. Or this painfully [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1178 atrocious attempt to ape Super Sentai]] by having the Ten Brothers combine all their powers into an invincible god to fight off the Dark Lord in a lousy climatic fight scene that’s embarrassing even for low budget shows... let alone one from 2006! [[note]] Yes, they did the AllYourPowersCombined transformation scene ''offscreen'' due to lack of creativity or budget. They revert back to normal offscreen as well. The MegatonPunch the Dark Lord receives on his face is something you'd feel like giving the people behind this series once you're done with it, by the way.[[/note]]
** We can stay here all day discussing the number of flaws in this animated dumpster fire, but for brevity's sake let's finish off with a few scenes from the series' crossover with ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=504 Like these bunch of characters remaining suspiciously static while travelling on a boat]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1072 Or this scene where the Monkey King and the fifth Brother with flight powers challenging each other to a flying race]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1253 Or this really painful to watch, weirdly-edited final battle between the Monkey King and the Dark Lord]]. [[note]] Which one of the "action" scenes are worse? You be the judge...[[/note]]

Also, one of the so-called "classic" stories is '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Brothers The Tale of Ten Brothers]]''', an old Chinese legend obscure even among Asian communities, yet the creators of the show thinks its somehow okay to lump it with Tarzan and The Little Mermaid as a ''classic'' fairy tale.

But let’s have a look at some *cough* [[SarcasmMode highlights]] of its animation…
** [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=147 This shot of dialogue right in the first episode should give you a clue on how mediocre the animation is]]. Notice Alphonso Wong’s (a reoccurring character, mind you) lack of eyes for the animators to slack on their work? Or the sheer lack of facial movements as they talked? Or [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=239 this conversation scene between two characters]] that looks so painfully stiff?
** The Mulan crossover episode had a scene where [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Mulan tries to fight her own dad]]. Try watching the [[https://youtu.be/aqieFrglNBM?t=616 fight scene]] without cringing at the painfully stiff animation, excessive number of close-ups, and the [[LazyArtist LazyAnimator’s]] attempts to cheat by letting the audience “hear” the fighting scenes in the background.[[note]]Scratch that, check out the [[https://youtu.be/gvobZeCkVfA?t=145 football match scene]] between [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Team Master Q and Mulan vs Team Shaolin Monks]]. This is how you animate a soccer match scene using Microsoft Power Point, apparently.[[/note]]
** Episodes 5 – 6 is a {{Crossover}} between Literature/{{Tarzan}} and WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 (for some reason…?) which opens with Tarzan and his best friend Simba fighting a horde of crocodiles. Even with the extremely low budget given for their fight scenes, the [[https://youtu.be/-jSE3oQns7I?t=208 animators apparently gave up half-way through]]. Behold, and epic BattleOfTheStillFrames!
** For more examples of BattleOfTheStillFrames, check out the climax of the Little Mermaid crossover arc, which ends with the merfolk and the Dragon King’s crustacean army battling against the Shark-men. It sounds awesome on paper, [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=966 but the moment you see how the battle scenes are animated]]… [[note]] Actually forget the big battle scene, check out the scene where the Dragon King arrives to assist the main characters fight the Dark Lord… [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=1112 one of the most pathetically-animated action scenes ever put on celluloid]], and that’s part of the '''CLIMAX''' of the episode! [[/note]]
** Remember the part about the crossover with '''The Tale of Ten Brothers'''? Here, the crossover concludes with the titular brothers help Master Q and friends fight off a warlord’s army. Running painfully low on budget, some *epic moments* includes the scene where the Brother with Invincibility [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1072 using his bulletproof skin to deflect bullets]]. Or the [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1103 scene where a character with super strength using his powers to save everyone from a cannon]] (which obviously missed its shot) and then fighting off enemy tanks using animation worthy of a gif.Or this painfully [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1178 atrocious attempt to ape Super Sentai]] by having the Ten Brothers combine all their powers into an invincible god to fight off the Dark Lord in a lousy CLIMATIC fight scene that’s embarrassing even for low budget shows… let alone one from 2006! [[note]] Yes, they did the AllYourPowersCombined transformation scene OFF-SCREEN, due to lack of creativity or budget. And later reverts back to normal offscreen once more. The MegatonPunch the Dark Lord receives on his face is something you'd feel like giving the people behind this series once you're done with it, by the way.[[/note]]
** We can stay here all day discussing the number of flaws in this animated dumpster fire, but for brevity’s sake let’s finish off with a few scenes from the series’ crossover with Literature/JourneyToTheWest. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=504 Like these bunch of characters remaining suspiciously static while travelling on a boat]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1072 Or this scene where the Monkey King and the fifth Brother with flight powers challenging each other to a flying race]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1253 Or this really painful to watch, weirdly-edited final battle between the Monkey King and the Dark Lord]]. [[note]] Which one of the "action" scenes are worse? I can’t tell. Hated them all equally. You be the judge… [[/note]]

The story is just an excuse to revive a mostly forgotten, decades-old comic (after the 2001 live-action Master Q film failed to revive any hype for the franchise) by mashing the trio into classic fairy tales like Literature/{{Tarzan}}, Literature/{{TheLittleMermaid}}, Literature/{{Aladdin}} ([[AdaptationDisplacement somehow]] based on the Disney animated version instead of the actual story from the Literature/ArabianNights, which is *actually* set in China instead of the Middle East… this being a Chinese/Hong Kong production, they should have known better), and The Ballad of WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} (since when is Mulan a “classic” fairy tale? It’s based on real-life history, and children of the world would have practically never heard of the story of Mulan if not for the 1998 Disney movie, which is 8 years old when this series came out). Also, one of the so-called "classic " stories is '''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Brothers The Tale of Ten Brothers]] ''', an old Chinese legend which is obscure even among Asian communities, yet the creators of the show thinks its somehow okay to lump it with Tarzan and The Little Mermaid as a ''classic'' fairy tale.

The entire series runs on ExcusePlot, combined with LimitedAnimation and referencing pop-culture elements which are hyped back in the early 2000s (The aforementioned Mulan crossover have plenty of references to Film/ShaolinSoccer, which came out in 2001, meaning the creators are at least 5 years too late to jump on the hype train) makes this show a badly dated UnintentionalPeriodPiece. But let’s have a look at some *cough* [[SarcasmMode highlights]] of its animation…



** The Mulan crossover episode had a scene where [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Mulan tries to fight her own dad]]. Try watching the [[https://youtu.be/aqieFrglNBM?t=616 fight scene]] without cringing at the painfully stiff animation, excessive number of close-ups, and the LazyAnimator’s attempts to cheat by letting the audience “hear” the fighting scenes in the background.

But let’s have a look at some *cough* [[SarcasmMode highlights]] of its animation…
** [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=147 This shot of dialogue right in the first episode should give you a clue on how mediocre the animation is]]. Notice Alphonso Wong’s (a reoccurring character, mind you) lack of eyes for the animators to slack on their work? Or the sheer lack of facial movements as they talked? Or [[https://youtu.be/6oLSt996jcY?t=239 this conversation scene between two characters]] that looks so painfully stiff?
**The Mulan crossover episode had a scene where [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Mulan tries to fight her own dad]]. Try watching the [[https://youtu.be/aqieFrglNBM?t=616 fight scene]] without cringing at the painfully stiff animation, excessive number of close-ups, and the LazyAnimator’s attempts to cheat by letting the audience “hear” the fighting scenes in the background.
*** Scratch that, check out the [[https://youtu.be/gvobZeCkVfA?t=145 football match scene]] between [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Team Master Q and Mulan vs Team Shaolin Monks]]. This is how you animate a soccer match scene using Microsoft Power Point, apparently.
** Episodes 5 – 6 is a {{Crossover}} between Literature/{{Tarzan}} and WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 (for some reason…?) which opens with Tarzan and his best friend Simba fighting a horde of crocodiles. Even with the extremely low budget given for their fight scenes, the [[https://youtu.be/-jSE3oQns7I?t=208 animators apparently gave up half-way through]]. Behold, and epic BattleOfTheStillFrames!
** For more examples of BattleOfTheStillFrames, check out the climax of the Little Mermaid crossover arc, which ends with the merfolk and the Dragon King’s crustacean army battling against the Shark-men. It sounds awesome on paper, [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=966 but the moment you see how the battle scenes are animated]]… [[note]] Actually forget the big battle scene, check out the scene where the Dragon King arrives to assist the main characters fight the Dark Lord… [[https://youtu.be/sdkINyqL0fU?t=1112 one of the most pathetically-animated action scenes ever put on celluloid]], and that’s part of the CLIMAX of the episode! [[/note]]
** Remember the part about the crossover with The Tale of Ten Brothers? Here, the crossover concludes with the titular brothers help Master Q and friends fight off a warlord’s army. Running painfully low on budget, some *epic moments* includes the scene where the Brother with Invincibility [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1072 using his bulletproof skin to deflect bullets]]. Or the [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1103 scene where a character with super strength using his powers to save everyone from a cannon]] (which obviously missed its shot) and then fighting off enemy tanks using animation worthy of a gif.Or this painfully [[https://youtu.be/AE34I7tvqUs?t=1178 atrocious attempt to ape Super Sentai]] by having the Ten Brothers combine all their powers into an invincible god to fight off the Dark Lord in a lousy CLIMATIC fight scene that’s embarrassing even for low budget shows… let alone one from 2006! [[note]] Yes, they did the AllYourPowersCombined transformation scene OFF-SCREEN, due to lack of creativity or budget. And later reverts back to normal offscreen once more[[/note]]
** We can stay here all day discussing the number of flaws in this animated dumpster fire, but for brevity’s sake let’s finish off with a few scenes from the series’ crossover with Literature/JourneyToTheWest. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=504 Like these bunch of characters remaining suspiciously static while travelling on a boat]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1072 Or this scene where the Monkey King and the fifth Brother with flight powers challenging each other to a flying race]]. [[https://youtu.be/lC8QKhFNdqg?t=1253 Or this really painful to watch, weirdly-edited final battle between the Monkey King and the Dark Lord]]. [[note]] Which one of the "action" scenes are worse? I can’t tell. Hated them all equally. You be the judge… [[/note]]

* '''''The King of Tibetan Antelope''''' is a 2010 animated miniseries by Shenzen Films. The plot is about a young Tibetan antelope who wanders off to the "Way of the Antelope's Home" with friends after losing his mother. The problem is not the plot (which, albeit not too original, could have been interesting), but rather [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot the execution]]: Basically, it's too reminiscent of two Creator/{{Disney}} features, replacing ''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 look like a cheap and flat-out attempt to achieve traditional animation visuals, the environments are [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects computer-generated and don't blend at all with the characters]], and most of the animations have very little sense of scale, depth, and movement - 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.]] Fortunately, [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel the 2015 film]] has a more decent plot and [[ArtEvolution much better art]] to the point of SceneryPorn.

* '''''Mustafa and the Magician''''' is a computer-animated movie produced by Pentamedia Graphics and distributed by Shemaroo (who are also responsible for the aformentioned ''Kiara the Brave'').

The writing isn't much better; not only does the plot move at a sluggish pace but (among other things) the [[GenericDoomsdayVillain run-of-the-mill]] [[EvilSorcerer villainous wizard]]'s goal of [[WouldHurtAChild trying to kill Alladin's son]] in order to reign supreme or else get defeated is ripped off from ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' and Mustafa himself is a generic hero at best and [[DesignatedHero an ethically dubious protagonist at]] ''[[DesignatedHero worst]]'' (to name a couple examples, [[StalkerWithACrush he stalks the princess, even when she's]] ''[[ThePeepingTom taking a bath]]'', and proclaims [[SuddenlySuitableSuitor his intent to vie for her hand in marriage]] after she ''clearly states'' how upset she is with it). Even worse, the 2016 version [[DubInducedPlotHole being edited down considerably causes the film to make less sense]], one example being a song from the original celebrating Mustafa's transition to adulthood being removed which causes him to seemingly grow out of the blue.
