Tokio Jokio has competent animation, while the voice acting (while deliberately stereotypically racist) did what it set out to do. Not to mention, it did have an audience at the time of release.

** While a lot of the {{Wartime Cartoon}}s produced by the studio in the early 1940s suffer major cases of ValuesDissonance to a modern audience, most of them are at least still watchable. The same cannot be said, however, for 1943's '''WesternAnimation/TokioJokio''', which is easily the most hateful, openly propagandistic of all the Warner Bros. cartoons from this period, to the point of eschewing any sort of plot in favor of a series of anti-Japanese sight gags. The absolute low point of the short, and possibly even the entire ''Looney Tunes'' series, is when it openly calls for the death of Admiral UsefulNotes/IsorokuYamamoto -- and to add insult to injury, Yamamoto had already been assassinated by the time the short hit theaters, rendering it dated even on its initial release. The short has an [=IMDb=] rating of 4.4/10, the lowest rating of any ''Looney Tunes'' short in-between the "Buddy era" and the Warner Bros.-Seven Arts era, and the third-lowest of any ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon overall. While it didn't act as a direct CreatorKiller for director Norm [=McCabe=] (whose career at Warner Bros. was ended when he was drafted into the Air Corps), he never again directed a theatrical short, with all his future work being in his former role as an animator, with occasional directing credits on animated TV shows.

** Their most heinous work is '''''WesternAnimation/TheLittlePandaFighter'''''. It's a rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'' in the worst form. The CGI is stiff, [[ClicheStorm there's little to no creativity in the story, story]], there's so much padding it's not even funny (no, really, there's an entire scene of the main character just walking to his boss' desk), the facial expressions can be downright terrifying, the English voice actors have done better work elsewhere (and Creator/MaddieBlaustein is [[QuestionableCasting among them]]), and worst of all it has a '''massive''' BrokenAesop at the end.

Palmer's inexperience as a director was evident; not only did the former introduce the infamously [[FlatCharacter nondescript]] Buddy, but both cartoons featured poor animation, sluggish pacing, cloying tones, and paper-thin 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.

** '''''WesternAnimation/TheChristmasLight''''', made in 1995, could very well be considered the CGI counterpart to ''The Christmas Tree''. The premise is that after two ChristmasElves, Isaac and Burton, present alternative and quicker ways of making toys, Burton, the {{Jerkass}} rival elf who gets rejected by SantaClaus, falls into his buggy toy-making machine and is inexplicably transformed into a giant snowman warlock who threatens to ruin Christmas with a massive snowstorm in retaliation. Santa, Isaac, and a girl named Jennifer with a talent for singing set out to stop him and save Christmas. The already bizarre setup just gets worse from there. The premise and plot make absolutely no sense (How did Burton become an evil snowman? Why does the girl need to come with Santa and Isaac to help stop him?). The voice acting [[DullSurprise sounds bored and lethargic]] (barring [[ChewingTheScenery Burton's over-the-top rant at the beginning]]), narrator Dan Haggerty sounds drunk, and the characters themselves are either boring or downright unlikeable. One of the worst parts of the whole thing is the animation and graphics, which are absolutely atrocious even for 1995 with stiff, robotic movements, [[UnintentionalUncannyValley vacant, expressionless faces]], and flat, washed-out, and occasionally ''non-existent'' textures. Comparing the special and its animation to that of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' (which came out the same year and which the special has the gall to compare itself to), the early episodes of ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' (which still have livelier animation even two years prior for how badly their animation has aged), and the unfinished CGI film ''WesternAnimation/TheWorks'' (which began production in ''1979'') just shows how inept everything about this special is.
