Shitty animated movies. - Showcasing lazily-written cash grabs with mediocre CGI and washed-up voice actors.

Was it the taffy pit scene? I remember it being very unsettling even with the taffy pit/monster singing (because of course he got a song too like everyone else). I mean, he was self-cannibalizing himself constantly. NIMH doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as it's actually quite good, however I found the scene with the tractor upsetting the first time I watched it. Classic Bluth was terrifying but beautiful and it was amazing. He respected that his young audience could handle what he threw at them, so long as there was a happy ending.

You freaked out at the tractor scene? Pussy. The scene with the Great Owl was a flat out horror movie. I don't know how Mrs. Brisby expected to get out of there alive but it established how far she was willing to go for her children.

I mean, Timmy is just laying there unconscious while his siblings and the rest of the animals fled for their lives, so it was pretty tense, lol. The owl didn't scare me at all though. Probably because I saw Land Before Time first, and Sharptooth actually takes a chunk out of Littlefoot's mom and causes her to slowly bleed out and die on screen.

And from there I'll make it relevant and say that the sequels are some of the worst movies I've had to unfortunately sit through when I was young, because my childhood best friend loved the sequels (more than the original...) and wanted to watch them all time.

How about the Rankin/Bass adaptation of The Return of the King? The animation is... ok, but they really shit the bed on the plot and VA direction. Aragorn is in the movie maybe for thirty seconds, Denethor is portrayed as a cackling batshit insane old man, the Witch King of Angmar sounds exactly like Skeletor

And then there's this....

I see your poorly adapted LOTR movie and raise you this obscure short film:

I actually dig the illustrations themselves, but oh man, they've sure butchered the story beyond belief.

Has anybody at Rankin & Bass ever explained why they didn't at least buy the character likenesses off of Bakshi? It's so strange to obviously make the sequel to another studio's film, but now everybody's gone or a potato.

The Rankin Bass LOTR was a sequel to their own version of the Hobbit and the character designs (animated by a Japanese studio) were consistent with that. Bakshi's character designs were based off of Rotoscoped live actors and were sometimes swapped out with xeroxed photocells. There was no way the two styles would remotely mesh. I'd chalk up the fact that the Rankin Bass LOTR begins where the Bakshi LOTR ends as a coincidence (although I haven't looked it up so I don't know.)

This isn't even the first time that The Asylum have ripped off Pixar.
The film debuted last week on Open TV, a Greek nation-wide network that tends to air productions from the likes of well-known studios (Buena Vista, Paramount and Dreamworks, to name a few). I mean, I know that it may had been picked up because there are some big names attached to its cast, and it somewhat falls under the standards of similar children's fare (with its acceptable, albeit ripped-off, storyline and "comedic" characters). The Greek dub is also professionally done as with most gr dubs of cartoons nowadays. However, the animation is pretty bad for a 2016 film (sometimes certain actions and objects aren't even properly animated), and the camera work made me feel dizzy.

At least it ain't Trolland.

Wish Dragon, it's the first animated movie to give me a headache because of the strange frame rate with the Pixar style CGI. It's unwatchable! Thanks, China.

And who's involved in this you might ask? You guessed it, J.J. Abrams.
