Joshua and the Promised Land

I don't like this film, THE ANIMATION IS TERRIFYING. HORRIBLE 1/10.

This movie tells the story of Joshua. It could've saved time and money by not doing it. I applaud the person who invented it for lowering the unemployment rate but I seriously wished that it hadn't been released. If a teacher ever needs to torture students this movie is ideal for it. And I mean ideal. Your students will never skip your class ever again. Just be prepared to have some memes made.

Love animation to bits. It was a big part of my life as a child, especially Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera and Tom and Jerry, and still love it as a young adult, whether it's film, television or cartoons. Actually appreciate it even more now, having more knowledge of the different animation styles and directors and what work went into them.

'Joshua and the Promised Land' looked terrible, the cover alone was unappetising, and the reviews and low rating lowered my expectations even more. Saw it anyway because the Old Testament stories interest me despite not being particularly religious and as said animation is still held in very high regard by me and would see anything animated regardless of animation style, studio or budget.

Even with the low expectations, 'Joshua and the Promised Land' turned out to be even worse than expected. Am usually very generous when it comes to animation, but there is a lot of bad ones out there and 'Joshua and the Promised Land' is for me and many others down there with the all-time worst.

First off the animation is hideous, down there with the worst of Video Brinquedo, Spark Plug Entertainment and Dingo Pictures as some of the all-time worst. Everything looks static and blocky, the colours are flat and lifeless, the characters look ugly and even creepy, the movements are just weirdly aimless (some of it like moving in slow motion) and attention to detail isn't there at all. The sound is bizarre and cheapens the already ill-fitting music.

Writing is juvenile, awkward-sounding and repetitive, children and adults alike will feel their intelligence levels being significantly lowered due to the excessive way the writing and storytelling insults it. The story is paper thin and tends to not go very far if anywhere, the very few times it's cohesive it is unbelievably stupid.

Characters are irritating and with not much development or personality, there is nothing here to allow one to like them let alone root for them. The voice acting has no emotion or energy, and the unintentional creepiness it has is really disconcerting.

Overall, extremely cheap and irredeemably awful even when judging it with an open fair mind and fairly low expectations. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I guess it would be unfair for me to say that everything about this movie was awful, even though it was. It did entertain me with how utterly stupid it was! Still, it's a terrible movie and easily one of the worst animated films of all time. I admit to having forgotten about Joshua from the Bible. I guess this didn't want me to go back and read it. This movie features everyone as lions for some reason. It starts with a lion family in a modern setting arguing. Then, some angel or something teleports the lion Joshua to take on the persona of Joshua, Moses' disciple. I "think" that's what happens, but it's hard to understand.

The CGI in this is probably the worst I have ever seen in my entire life. The details are downright awful. There is absolutely no imagination in this film in the least. We keep seeing this pink animal thing wearing a bow tie. He then goes into the movie or something. I think this is authentic to what the Bible says, but it doesn't matter. The lip movements are horrendous as well. I can't even critique the voice acting because I was so distracted by how hideous this film looked. I only saw it because so many people on the Internet have reviewed it.

You know what? I'm glad I did! I was laughing so hard watching people make of this! Everything looks so terrible it's hard for me to even describe it. I can't say see it for yourself, unless you want to be amused by how dumb it is. The final enemies look like demons. I'm surprised TheMysteriousMrEnter hasn't looked into this. I think even the people at Wikipedia are too ashamed to have an article on it! This is obscure for a great reason. I'm surprised it has a rating as high as 3.7 here. Watch "The Gospel Of John" to see a truly wonderful Bible movie released just a year before. *
