* '''''WesternAnimation/MegamindVsTheDoomSyndicate''''' was first marketed by [=DreamWorks=] as a direct sequel to the CultClassic ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'', released [[SequelGap fourteen years]] after the original. The resulting film, however, has fans wishing they hadn't bothered. This "sequel" wasn't in fact made by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation themselves, but rather their [[BTeamSequel television arm]]: it turned out to be a [[DirectToVideo direct-to-streaming]] PilotMovie for the slightly less reviled ''WesternAnimation/MegamindRules'' TV series, made on about the same budget. Unsurprisingly, it has none of the wit, satire, or [[TheOtherDarrin voice talent]] of the original. The entire cast is {{Flanderized}} beyond recognition, Megamind himself is handed the world's stickiest and most ironic IdiotBall, and the clever lampooning of superhero tropes is swapped out for a bog-standard "comedic" take on the genre that leaves little to entice new viewers while alienating older viewers. The plot frequently contradicts the original movie's lore, which might get a pass if it didn't also rely on {{Contrived Coincidence}}s and [[ForgotAboutHisPowers ignoring the characters' established abilities]]. The writing isn't the only thing that suffered either, as the animation is incredibly wooden and lifeless even in comparison to other TV cartoons, let alone the original movie. SpecialEffectFailure runs rampant, from a character's metal chestplate stretching as if made of rubber to a prominent background extra not being properly tweened, causing him to snap between keyframes as he dances. The scene direction is also as lazy as possible, with everything shot in flat, static angles more suited for a TV sitcom than a superhero romp that do little to hide the ugly animation. The only redeemable thing about this film was that the song that plays in the end credits (which also just so happens to be the theme music for ''WesternAnimation/MegamindRules'') was [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic admittedly fun and catchy]], thanks to it being sung by Creator/AdamLambert. The backlash was immediate, earning the movie 2.3 on [=IMDb=], a 1.2 user score on Metacritic, and a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems even [=DreamWorks=] knew the movie was a stinker, since they tried to bury its release by dropping it at almost the same time as ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda4'' went into theaters. WebVideo/SchaffrillasProductions considered it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF3yw0GI17Y painful to sit through.]]

* '''''Bobbleheads: TheMovie''''' is once again proof that Creator/{{Netflix}} still remains a fertile breeding ground for this kind of bottom-of-the-barrel drivel. The characters' rough, unpolished, and [[UnintentionalUncannyValley rather ugly-looking]] designs and lackluster animation (even for a DirectToDVD movie) are only the beginning of this movie's many issues. [[ClicheStorm In a plot you've likely heard a million times before]], the eponymous bobbleheads [[LivingToys come to life when nobody's looking]] and [[HomeAloneAntics vie to protect their family's home from the dad character's trailer-trash brother]]. The movie ''initially'' seems like it's going to follow the equally worn-out "[[WhenYouComingHomeDad kid gets workaholic parents to pay attention to them]]" plot, but this is dropped quite early in and only given a brief nod later. The rest of the movie is a nonsensical, incoherent, and boring mess that tries to do entirely too much at once without making an effort to tie any of it together. The eponymous bobbleheads are [[DesignatedHero either annoying or just flat-out unlikeable]], and the movie's main antagonist [[DesignatedVillain comes off more as hapless than actually mean or nasty]]. The movie also mentions several supplementary materials and characters the bobbleheads were based on, but none of these elements are explained to the viewers in any way, only serving to make the plot even more confusing (and makes the out-of-nowhere appearance of a bobblehead version of Music/{{Cher}} a flat-out BigLippedAlligatorMoment). Put this multitude of shortcomings into a food processor, set to "puree" for a few minutes, and you get this bobbling, bubbling sludge pile of a movie as a result. Interestingly, several Creator/{{Disney}} alumni and the art director of ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' were involved with this film. Tab Murphy, despite getting a "story by" credit, admitted that he had next to no creative control over the film.

* '''''WesternAnimation/SunshineBarryAndTheDiscoWorms''''', something that could be considered on par with ''Elf Bowling: The Movie: The Great North Pole Elf Strike'' in its terribleness. The animation? Horrible. The characters? [[FlatCharacter One-note and uninteresting.]] A [[IdiotPlot stupid plot]] with clichés galore, ugly and [[UnintentionalUncannyValley scary-looking]] character designs (most notably including ''[[NonMammalMammaries human-like breasts on limbless invertebrates]]''), unfortunate implications abound (especially with regards to the unintentionally-[[HaveIMentionedIAmGay homophobic attitude]] towards the ArmouredClosetGay worm, who is a [[BritishRockStar punk-rocker]], and the villiain, who is not only a CorruptCorporateExecutive and DirtyOldMan (and heavily implied to be a ''[[PaedoHunt paedophile]]''), but also [[KarmaHoudini gets away with everything he does at the end]], including [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney blatantly paying off the judges]] in full view of everyone, with [[ApatheticCitizens no one saying a thing]], just [[DiabolusExMachina to ensure the heroes lose the contest]]) and downright nightmare-inducing scenes. All in all, it's no wonder Archer said it's worse than ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}''. See Archer and ''WebVideo/MusicalHell'' take it apart [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKez5n5pPgg here.]]

* '''''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw''''' features crappy musical numbers that are lame covers of songs such as "At the Hop" and "Duke of Earl", [[YouDontLookLikeYou unexplained design changes to characters from the TV series]],[[note]]due in part to a ChannelHop from TV series producer Creator/HannaBarbera to Atlantic/Kushner-Locke and the Maltese Companies, who also co-produced the short-lived ''WesternAnimation/SpiralZone'' series for Tonka in 1987[[/note]] [[OffModel atrocious animation]], a ClicheStorm plot that starts due to the IdiotBall, and sub-par voice-acting. The main villain's name is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Marvin]] [[ObviouslyEvil McNasty]] (who absolutely ''cannot sing''). It also features noticeable animation errors - for example, a scene where a character's nose disappears while he's talking. There's also a [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment weird scene/musical number where the Pound Puppies wander through a forest filled with monsters]].

* At the height of their popularity, Silly Bandz had an unauthorized feature film. '''''WesternAnimation/BandsOnTheRun''''' is a ''very'' cheaply produced, DirectToVideo worthless mess of a film. In a blatant rip-off of ''Franchise/ToyStory'', a group of rubber bands, including one regular rubber band, come to life (while most of the others in the same film don't come alive) and desire to be played with by children and seek to get to a toy store so they can do that. No small part of its failure owes to [=C.Y.UNS Information Technologies, Co Ltd.=], "quite possibly the cheapest, shoddiest, most fly-by-night animation studio in all of China," in the art director's words. The end product is ugly, badly animated, and has no sense of scale, with a ClicheStorm plot and talent hired from Craigslist (including Creator/CristinaValenzuela, somehow). It was [[OneBookAuthor the first and only film]] made by Elastic Productions, who [[CreatorKiller shut down immediately after releasing the film]] to a barely-there, unappreciative audience. Watch WebVideo/RebelTaxi and Digiman tear the film a new one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTITDiZP1Pk right over here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xh5lzfuYCM here]], respectively. To add insult to injury, the DVD includes free bands and a warning to keep these bands away from little kids who could be harmed by eating them. [[DontTryThisAtHome But in the movie, you can see a baby playing with one of the rubber bands]] [[spoiler:and becoming her new owner]].

* [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwe1to_joshua-and-the-promised-land-wmv_shortfilms?start=694#.UW1udCtvtQc This]] animated adaptation of the story of Joshua, Moses' apprentice, titled '''''WesternAnimation/JoshuaAndThePromisedLand'''''. The character designs, which are ''supposed'' to be bipedal lions, are stiff and uninspired (and include a [[AnimalGenderBender female lion with a mane]]), the animation looks like it was done by a 6th grader using Autodesk Maya for the first time (the faces hardly show good expression, mouth movements are nonexistent, it's impossible to tell what various objects are at times due to horrid texturing, etc.), and the voices sound bored and sometimes fail to grasp the concept of audio levels (the kid who plays Joshua sometimes [[NoIndoorVoice shouts his lines]] to the point of distortion). And then there's the story itself, which has its own slew of problems, including one of the most annoying examples of MrExposition ever put to film. Creator/{{Voltalia}} gives her two cents about this abomination [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XRvQs38Hc8 here]], [[WebVideo/FeedingTheTrolls CuteFuzzyWeasel]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAxnq9m0Fe8 destroyed it here]], WebVideo/KyleNorty gave [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRu1LnYGPTI his take on it here]], and LetsPlay/{{Critikal}}, who's known for doing Let's Plays, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zRyubvOzio had a few things]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae9bFmg56kk to say about it.]] WebVideo/{{Saberspark}} ended up taking back what he said about ''WesternAnimation/LeoTheLion'' and declared ''this'' film the worst film he's ever seen [[https://youtu.be/3syUejwzd3Q here]] (at least before the aforementioned ''Trolland'' came along). The creator of the film, Jim Lion, admits that it wasn't very good and that the criticisms are very valid, but he doesn't regret making it as it allowed him to practice his animation skills.

The entire cast is {{Flanderized}} beyond recognition, Megamind himself is handed the world's stickiest and most ironic IdiotBall, and the clever lampooning of superhero tropes is swapped out for a bog-standard "comedic" take on the genre that leaves little to entice new viewers while alienating older viewers; while the original ''Megamind'' is known for its vicious criticism of the {{entitled|ToHaveYou}} "nice guy", the closest ''Doom Syndicate'' gets to meaningful social commentary is the title character delivering a lukewarm jab at {{capitalism|IsBad}} during a shopping trip. The plot frequently contradicts the original movie's lore, which might get a pass if it didn't also rely on {{Contrived Coincidence}}s and [[ForgotAboutHisPowers ignoring the characters' established abilities]]. The writing isn't the only thing that suffered either, as the animation is incredibly wooden and lifeless even in comparison to other TV cartoons, let alone the original movie. SpecialEffectFailure runs rampant, from a character's metal chestplate stretching as if made of rubber to a prominent background extra not being properly tweened, causing him to snap between keyframes as he dances. The scene direction is also as lazy as possible, almost everything shot in flat, static angles more suited for a TV sitcom than a superhero romp that do little to hide the ugly animation. It all might have slipped by without notice... had [=DreamWorks=] not made the questionable decision to market it directly to the original ''Megamind''[='s=] cult fan base of young adults (a demographic that the writers were very clearly not targeting), trailers presumptuously declaring "you're welcome" as if fans would be grateful that their underdog film franchise was being continued by a third-rate TV movie instead of a big-budget theatrical sequel. The backlash was immediate, earning the movie 2.3 on [=IMDb=], a 1.2 user score on Metacritic, and a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems even [=DreamWorks=] knew the movie was a stinker, since they tried to bury its release by dropping it at almost the same time as ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda4'' went into theaters. WebVideo/SchaffrillasProductions considered it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF3yw0GI17Y painful to sit through]] and worse than most movies he'd ever reviewed, not even worth an ironic laugh.

* '''''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw''''' features crappy musical numbers that are bad covers of songs such as "At the Hop" and "Duke of Earl", [[YouDontLookLikeYou unexplained design changes to characters from the TV series]],[[note]]due in part to a ChannelHop from TV series producer Creator/HannaBarbera to Atlantic/Kushner-Locke and the Maltese Companies, who also co-produced the short-lived ''WesternAnimation/SpiralZone'' series for Tonka in 1987[[/note]] [[OffModel atrocious animation]], and sub-par voice-acting. The main villain's name is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Marvin]] [[ObviouslyEvil McNasty]] (who absolutely ''cannot sing''). It also features noticeable animation errors - for example, a scene where a character's nose disappears while he's talking. There's also a [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment weird scene/musical number where the Pound Puppies wander through a forest filled with monsters]].

* '''''WesternAnimation/DinotopiaQuestForTheRubySunstone''''', the InNameOnly AnimatedAdaptation of the ''Literature/{{Dinotopia}}'' books. While the live-action miniseries is typically seen as SoOkayItsAverage at best, even its fans won't defend this prehistoric mess. It is almost nothing like the original books, is full of [[ClicheStorm clichéd characters]] and ArtisticLicensePaleontology (including the shedded skin of an ''Iguanodon'', which never shed its skin), and a disgusting amount of ToiletHumor. It has an AllStarCast that includes Creator/AlyssaMilano, Creator/JamieKennedy, Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan, Creator/MalcolmMcDowell, Creator/KathyGriffin, Creator/WayneKnight, and Creator/GeorgeSegal, and wastes the talents of all these stars.

* '''''WesternAnimation/ChildrenVSWizards''''' (Дети против волшебников) is a 2016 Russian [[UsefulNotes/OrthodoxChristianity Orthodox Christian]] [[PropagandaPiece propaganda film]] based on [[Literature/TheScienceOfWinning a book of the same name]] written by obscure author Nikos Zervas, offered as a [[TheMoralSubstitute religious alternative]] and at the same time a [[TakeThat jab]] to the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books. [[{{Anvilicious}} It goes out of its way to teach]] children that Orthodox Christians are pure and have superior souls and that everyone else is AlwaysChaoticEvil. Other than that, it states that women should be completely loyal to their husbands and not have sex before marriage, and claims that the deaths of Serbian civilians during UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars were [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming their own fault]]. Its account of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII is [[ArtisticLicenseHistory woefully inaccurate]] thanks to a mixture of Christian supremacism and Russian nationalism: the wizards are headquartered in a Scottish Nazi base,[[note]](no Home Nation, Scotland included, fell to Nazi Germany. The only British territories that did fall to the Nazis were [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_occupation_of_the_Channel_Islands the Channel Islands]], crown dependencies that have never been part of the United Kingdom. But then again, Hogwarts is in Scotland, so the wizards being in Jersey or Guernsey wouldn't have served the Potter-bashing very well, would it?)[[/note]] and one claim about Russia defeating Nazi Germany completely ignores not only the UK's and USA's involvement in the war, but the fact that Russia was part of ''[[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn the Soviet Union]]'' (an atheistic state that, for most of its existence, carried out [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union a persecutory campaign against Christians]] - and other religious groups - that was suspended during the war only because Joseph Stalin realized it was causing [[EnemyMine pro-Nazi sentiment]] among Orthodox Christians) during that time period. In addition, the military academy the main protagonists are attending in the present is praised to no end, raising suspicions that the whole thing was made to promote said academy in the first place. The animation in this film is utterly [[SpecialEffectFailure atrocious]],[[note]]Imagine the semi-rotoscoped ''Animation/WaltzWithBashir'', but instead of blending live action reference points with smooth animation done in Flash and a clever usage of color tones to set the mood, we get a bunch of primitive 3D models with jerky movements and a saturation filter to make it stand out like a 2D cartoon but instead makes the shoddy CGI more visually obvious. Also, most of the background scenes are just static shots of basic 2D and 3D environments and there are a few non-standard animation effects that include a plane with contrails that don't line up with the model and a present that melts like plasticine.[[/note]] making Video Brinquedo look good by comparison. The voice acting is awful, with the voice actors sounding [[DullSurprise uninterested with their delivery]]. It was panned by every critic in Russia and received a 1.1 on [[https://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/deti-protiv-volshebnikov-2016-1004214/ Kinopoisk]] (the Russian equivalent to IMDB), and [[DontShootTheMessage not even Orthodox Christians liked it]].

* 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]], [[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]].

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 critically acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' in 2018, which was not only seen by many to be a massive improvement over the former, but also served as a major paradigm shift for film animation.
