Video Brinquedo in Brazil is responsible for bringing us "Urshinho da Pesada" ("The Little Panda Fighter") and it only makes me wonder if these folks truly hate children. After all, I cannot imagine any child enjoying this cheap mess of a film...and it will be even tougher for parents to suffer through this monstrosity. Avoid it like the plague!!
Like their other film, "Ratatoing", this movie is a deliberate attempt to piggyback on the success of a GOOD Hollywood blockbuster, "Kung Fu Panda". This sort of thing isn't unheard of....there are several companies that regularly come out with ultra-cheap films with titles and plots similar to the blockbusters and which hope to fool viewers into watching the ersatz versions. But the sheer awfulness and cheapness of this Brazilian film is hard to imagine...you really have to see this for yourself to see how badly it's made. For instance, while "Kung Fu Panda" and "Ratatouille" are gorgeously animated, this CGI film truly looks as if it was made many years earlier....and isn't even close to being as nice looking as "Toy Story" from 1995!! It seems like an experiment made back in the 1980s...or perhaps a project created by a semi-talented 7 year-old! While animation alone might not ruin the film, horrible dialog, a dull story and nothing which would interest any child guarantee it will be listed among the worst children's movies of all time. Yes, folks....it's THAT bad! If given a choice of watching this movie again or eating my own foot, I'd say "Pass the ketchup"!
