Foodfight!

Plot synopsis:
Foodfight! takes place in the "Marketropolis" supermarket. After closing time, the supermarket transforms into a city in which all the citizens are "Ikes", personified well-known marketing icons.
In the Ikes' world, heroic cereal mascot Dex Dogtective is about to propose to his girlfriend, Sunshine Goodness, a raisin mascot, but she goes missing just before he is able to do so.
Six months later, in the 'real world', a Brand X representative called "Mr. Clipboard" arrives at Marketropolis and aggressively pushes Brand X's range of generic products. In the world of the Ikes, the arrival of Lady X, the seductive Brand X detergent Ike, causes a commotion at Dex's club, the Copabanana.
Brand X products begin to replace previous products, which is mirrored in the Ike's world with the death of several Ikes. After Dex's friend Daredevil Dan disappears, Dex begins to investigate. After rebuffing Lady X's attempts to bring him to Brand X's side, Dex is locked in a dryer with Dan to be melted but the two manage to escape. Dan and Dex find out that Brand X contains an addictive and toxic secret ingredient.
Dex and Dan attempt to initiate a product recall with the store owner's computer. A Brand X Ike cuts power just as they send the message. Dex then rallies the citizens of Marketropolis to fight the armies of Brand X in a massive food fight. The citizens win the battle through cunning use of the supermarket's electricity and lightning rods to protect their own buildings.
Dan rescues Sunshine who had been held hostage in the Brand X tower and escapes with the help of Dan. Mr Clipboard then enters the Ike's world, and it is discovered that he is a robot controlled by Lady X. Lady X reveals that she had previously been the hideous Ike of an unsuccessful brand of prunes, and had been stealing Sunshine's essence to create a new brand. Dex and Sunshine defeat her, reverting her to her original form. With Brand X defeated, and a cure found that revives the killed Ikes, Dex and Sunshine finally marry.

Review:
This movie is so bad, it looks like something that some kid made on a 3d modeling program in his spare time and was super excited to show to parents.The only thing i liked is that it spawned 2 great review videos on YouTube.Seriously, if you spent so much money making it, you should at least finalize the qualityI think these people should look at what some people have managed to make on blender, a free modeling program.
If you're not familiar with the backstory, I'll give you a little rundown.In 2001, director Lawrence Kasanoff, who was known for producing the Mortal Kombat films as well as a handful of TV adaptations on the franchise, announced an undertaking like no other - he was going to make an animated film under his own company Threshold Entertainment that focused on the events that would take place inside a supermarket when the lights would turn off.
Dex and his gang of friends Sunshine Goodness (Hilary Duff) and Daredevil Dan (Wayne Brady) prepare to keep the supermarket in their hands, but Dex increasingly finds himself distracted by the likes of Lady X (Eva Longoria), a desirable woman who keeps trying to win Dex's eye and the store manager finds himself dictated by Mr. Clipboard (Christopher Lloyd), who is enforcing Brand X.To begin with, the animation is awful.
One can sort of forgive the animation for looking terrible, seeing as, understandably, everyone's hands just wanted to be cleaned of this film, but with twelve years of production and a forced rewrite thanks to a burglary, you would think the writing would be marginally polished.
"Hey, we can create a cheap CGI movie and make companies pay for the celeb voices in advance by inserting their brands in the film!" The result is worse than crass, it's abominably bad.
I guess there is some justice in the world.Ten years ago, when Threshold Entertainment's hard drives were stolen, writer/director/producer Lawrence Kasanoff called it an act of "industrial espionage." I salute the brave souls who actively hindered the production of this film.
Like the animated Titanic movie, it isn't just bad, it is bad in such a way that it will be considered inconceivable that such a movie could have even been green lit; a movie where people will see brief snippets and wonder if it was a real movie or just somebody's entry-level CG demo-reel.For this reason, this is not a movie that should be watched.
That thing is real?!" The C.G. is terrible, the characters are one-dimensional, the writing is asinine, the jokes make BioDome look like Waking Ned Devine, and the talent of the voice cast is squandered across the board.The only thing that makes this movie even worthy of note is the overabundance of marketing icons.
looks worse than animation made on a much lower budget 15 or 20 years before this film was released.
The humor is equally bland, consisting of fart jokes, bad puns, and sexual innuendos that seem rather inappropriate for a children's movie.A large part of the controversy surrounding the film's release was the rampant product placement.
Phantomstrider was right!Why didn't I listen to them?!This is an animated feature about a dog named Dex Dogtective who's played by Charlie Sheen and gets depressed after his girlfriend Sunshine Goodness disappears.
However, their voice acting in this movie can range from sub-par at best to bad at worst.If there is one tiny saving grace to the film, it's that the opening song is actually pretty good.
However, if you dig deeper into the movie, you'll see the real reason why it gets so much hate, it has a nonsensical story, annoying characters and sexual innuendos.
I've seen bad movies, but most people will be thinking that it makes no sense at all.
The brand mascots are real, so watching this movie makes you feel like you are getting beaten to death by advertising!
Considering that more money was used to make this more than a film made by Illumination makes this film easily the most mind bogglingly bad animated film in history, and I would like 5 minutes with the people who thought it was a good idea to release this garbage, as they obviously had no idea what they were doing.
This film will never be worth anyones time, as literally every other animated film, that even includes, I can't believe I'm saying this, The Emoji Movie and Norm Of The North, at least look like their animation studios put effort into those films.
NO SPOILERS NECESSARY!!!Seriously, who makes a movie that was supposed to be inspired by Toy Story and Wreck-It Ralph where the film has to do with food icons coming to life, which makes this film a PIECE OF CRAP!!!The CG is TERRIBLE, the jokes are UNFUNNY, the sexual innuendos are unnecessaryya know, FOR KIDS!!!, and what are the filmmakers trying to accomplish with the story.
Looks like someone downloaded Blender and spent an afternoon learning to use the software.The concept of the film is like they'd watched some recent successes with animals and other kid friendly characters and picked up "101 Hilarious Jokes" from a charity shop.
It may sound like a cheat, but trust me when I say I saw enough of this movie to last a lifetime without having to watch it all the way from start to finish.This is the kind of shoddy work that would get penny-a-day workers in Malaysia scolded by their superiors - you can make it look s***y, but THIS s***y?
this is the opposite of that.Horrible puns (which can often, when done right, be really funny in real life, honest, I swear), horrible animation (it makes even the creepiest of the Uncanny Valley animated movies like Polar Express look like Sleeping Beauty), horrible voice acting (even Charlie Sheen, someone who just picked up a check for years on end to fart in front of sitcom canned laughter, seems bored - or Christopher Lloyd who's having a stroke in front of the world), and a horrible, unforgivable cynical grab at, on top of the aforementioned steals of Toy Story and Shrek: Casablanca.
It's not even joyful to dump on the movie, it's simply a waste that makes America look bad to foreign countries and sets us back another 50 years as far as being pioneers in the world of arts and sciences.Oh, and it is the kind of material that I'm sure, if you show to your kids or you are a kid and decide to watch this, that will give you nightmares.
All animation lover should watch this "pearl" to give a good laugh and every film student should see this as a learning experience about everything you should not do in a movie.Starting with the weird premise, market products that come to life when the market closes, and shelves magically transformed into a city.
The scenarios are really terrible and confused, you never know where the characters are, whether it's on the shelf, or in the world of products, or in the aisles of the supermarket.Can anyone explain to me why the hell this film had a big budget?
Is not really a bad movie it just you need to review it self because Look the sexuality is showing the incoming adults all of ya ll need to quit thinking that because I know it only paid 75,000 dollars but I do not care me and My cousins will watch this and I think I would get other op ions Just Shut up about your op ions and The movie has yalls favorite actors and Get the movie and they remade the quotes but they try to make it where kids will not get offended all the time but maybe is a bad movie but I think it is and a good movie it just the cgi animation are just like unofficial movies that came from net flex and all that.
You would think they could make a good movie with people like Charlie Sheen and Christopher Lloyd, but nope!
And the fact that $65 MILLION was poured into this film, and they couldn't get one likable character, one good line, one decent frame of animation, and at least one decent actor pretending to be actually decent!
The same can be said about the backgrounds--which are usually very fuzzy and look worse than an old-school computer game like "MYST".The dialog is the second worst thing about this 'movie'.
Some parents might strongly object to the fact that this film is ALL product placement aimed at children--with many of the characters consisting of unappealing corporate knockoff characters that look like McGruff the Crime Dog, Charlie the Tuna and Mr. Clean (among many others).
I could also talk about the plot involving the evil Brand X trying to take over the grocery store where all these characters live....but so many other awful things assaulted my senses that I really didn't even care about the insanely bad and cynical plot.Despite a plethora of B and C-list stars to provide the voices for these unpleasant characters, there just is no reason to see this film for the average person.
Now, I've seen bad animated movies in my time.
Like I said, the worst animated film of all time, and also probably the most expensive.
It's 65 million dollar budget is too much for its horrible animation that looks like it was filmed on Microsoft kinect, and also its blatant product placement that is worse than an Adam Sandler film.
The animation is unspeakably awful, not just the worst computer-animation in an animated film(excluding Video Brinquedo's and Spark Plug Entertainment's output, seriously the animation here makes Animals United seem like Toy Story in comparison) but some of the worst-looking animation ever.
The script was the worst culprit though, not in a long time has there been a script in an animated film this abominably bad, the bad-taste bathroom humour, out-of-place and inappropriate innuendo, Nazi overtones and equally crude one-liners and catchphrases that are enough to make anyone cringe taken to offensive levels.
Hey you, after knowing the existance of this movie, do you still thinking that the emoji movie is the worst animated movie, think again.This movies does what emoji movie does very bad and do it even worst, has very, very more product placement (just look at the poster), worst jokes ever, ridiculous scenes (the brand X and the ikes singing), a world with no rules about what happened to the real world in the night and viceversa (sausage party does something similar and has logic), and THE WORST CGI in a movie made enterly with CGI, it's seems more like a Playstation 1 or a Nintendo 64 game than a 2012 movie with high budget.Also has an awful script in so many thing, but at least emoji movie is visually aceptable, this thing isn't, don't watch it, better see a review in youtube, it's better than this excuse of movie..
Nostlagic Critic brought me here as I saw his review yesterday on this movie which stars Charlie Sheen(from All Dogs Go To Heaven),Hilary Duff(YES HILARY DUFF from A Cinderella Story was involved in this movie why Hilary why),her sister Haylie Duff,Christopher Lyod(Yes that dude from Anastasia and the villain of Who Framed Roger Rabbit),Eva Longoria(yes that chick from Desperate Housewives)all star in this movie that has been dubbed the worst cartoon of all time but one question I have to ask how on earth did this get 65 BILLION DOLLARS seriously Frozen was better than this piece of s***.
Watch as Mr. Clean, Mr. Bubble, the California Raisins and dozens of other icons take a backseat as cameos to a main cast of made-up, knock-off brand characters voiced by Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Wayne Brady, Eva Longoria, Christopher Lloyed and a dozen other B-list celebrities with a tiny presence of REAL voice actors like Ed Asner and Jeff Bennett.
They should have worked more on the animation itself, the introduction was only the good thing about it as the movement of the city was astonishing, but to the point where the rest of the movie was brain-dead, I can see now why people must have stolen unfinished assets from this film, because they must have watched it and thought this was absolutely pathetic.
The plot switches around so much in it's focus, the jokes don't work on a level that transcends bad to the level of thinking this was a giant joke on humankind, the characters inconsistent and the sheer fact that this movie, a movie about recognizable brand mascots teaming up, take up almost no screen time.
The movie itself isn't good, the jokes are bad and the animation is lazy, and the story just isn't worth it.
Literally the characters have these cold dead eyes that never quite look in the direction they're supposed to.And if that wasn't bad enough the this whole thing sent Threshold into receivership and they needed to sell the movie off to the highest bidder.
Another reason to back this up is that the ending where the main character proposes to his girlfriend is really rushed, this could've been a good scene but it was wasted by the studio who wanted to get it out quickly and get some money, which they didn't do.There were quite a few famous actors in this film such as Charlie Sheen however; one member of the cast shocked me quite a bit: Christopher Lloyd as Mr. Clipboard.
The final thing I'm going to say in this paragraph is about the cheesy one -liners, because it feels like you're having a cringe attack when you hear them, they're so dull and the way they've been said is ghastly.One of the main monstrosities of this film was the animation, Google it now because it looks like it was from a PlayStation 2 game and it was made in 2012!
Again, all the many many lame jokes that fell flat on the floor, the poorly-designed characters, and especially all the food brand mascots that were in this movie were so distracting that it hindered the whole conflict of the entire film.
It's like watching a fan-made commercial in movie form.Food Fight literally wasted (let me put that in numerals, so get ready to face-palm) $65,000,000, and let me say that it did not go to good graphics.
A crossover with such poor computer graphics that high school students taking 3D Animation class can create something much better and more enjoyable to watch than Food Fight.Honestly, I feel so sorry for all the actors that had to be in this movie.
The animation is lifeless, the jokes are in no way funny at all, the sexual innuendos are just terrible, the script is so awful that I'd rather read Twilight, and last and certainly least, the Nazi and racist remarks in this film just makes me sick, who's idea was it to do all this crap?
It was just as bad as you would expect it to be.The premise of the film is similar to scenarios like "Toy Story": whereas in that film, toys came to life when people left the room, in this film the mascots and logos (called "ikes") for food and household products come to life when the grocery store closes at night.
It might have avoided the criticism that this film is a giant product placement, and most of the main characters aren't real icons any way.Voice acting-wise, most of the actors at least *attempt* to do a good job.
Part of the problem is just that the script is so bad, the characters so annoying, and the animation so ugly and terrible that I don't think they could have salvaged it.
This Ill-fated Movie Began Development And Production In 1992 By Kasanoff And By 1994-1999 There Was A 25 Million Investment With Natrual Image With Cash In Hand It Had A Budget Of 45-50 Million Dollars Back In 2000 It Was Announced by Larry Kasanoff That It Would Have An Exaaggerd Use Of Clear Animation With 80 Named Products And Their Associated Characters with A Planned 2003 Release However One Night In December 2002 The Entire Production Collapsed In Development And By Early 2003 KasaNoff Stated That Hard Drives Containing The Plot lines Were Reportedly Stolen In An Act Of Industrial Espionage And It Went down the drain But After Production Resumed In 2004 The Film Was Announced For A Late Fall 2005 Release But missed Despite Investing 100 Million Dollars And In 2007 Lionsgate Began Using Motion Capture To Create The Grosstique Ugliness Of Using Adult Jokes Finally In September 2011 FoodFight!
Does it look like there is any chance its a good movie?
Children were alienated by this piece of crap.Story is beyond awfulness, acting is like a joke, one-liners are terrible and animation is one of the worst.
This is probably one of the worst movies (animated or not) that I've seen in my entire life.
My biggest issue with this expired product is the 3 main characters, Dex Dogtective, a half human half dog who's dressed up like Indiana Jones and is played by Charlie Sheen, Sunshine Goodness who's a young woman(human) with cat ears and is played by Hilary Duff, and the main villain, Lady X who's played by Eva Longoria.
Dex Dogtective is the worst main character in any animated movie ever.
Besides the stolen hard drive, no there shouldn't be as they released this movie so the production isn't important to this review.The animation looks absolutely dreadful, some of the worst I've seen with it's ugly colour scheme, hideous models and bleak environments.The story is where Dex tries to figure out where his love interest is whilst flirting with another woman (who is the main antagonist), not too bad right?
if it weren't for the animation, this movie could've actually been somewhere close to a 5/10 rating.Go ahead, watch "Foodfight!," and marvel at the results of 10 or so years of production, and how awful said results are.
