Couldn't believe how bad the animation was. I thought it was one of those redbox movies mean't to ride deceive parents.

A few people have mentioned Hoodwinked, but what about Hoodwinked Too?
...there was a second Hoodwinked film!?

Y'know I went into this thread thinking "I got one that'll knock these guys' socks off. There was this one movie where Jon Stewart played some jack in the box or some shit." And as I go through this thread my thoughts change to "What the hell is a Doogal?"
Lo and behold it was the same damn movie.

Probably a good choice. I should probably watch it some day. I remember reading about it back in the day and wanting to see it, but for some reason never did.I think CG meant for adults gets forgotten fairly easily. The previous page had someone trying to remember a yellow-tinged CG film for adults and it got me remembering Renaissance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh7s32XRScQ

I really liked Final Fantasy - The Spirits Within. But when I first saw it in the theater I was utterly disappointed and thought it was bad because it didn't have the typical FF elements. Where's the chocobo's, summons, people casting fire, etc. But after buying the Blu-ray a few years back it has grown on me as a decent sci fi flick on it's own. I even thought the plot was rather interesting science fiction
I thought the dream sequences were incredible. Good voice work from familiar actors as well. Hell, it's a much better movie than Advent Children IMO.
The enemies are really just ghosts of lifeforms from an alien world that got dragged dragged to earth on an asteroid after their world was destroyed by war. Sounded like something out of Star Trek.

I also mostly liked it as a stand alone story completely divorced from all Final Fantasy conventions. The way that the phantoms killed people by tearing out their souls was really unsettling to me, especially during the climax where there's this one poor sap whose soul is kicking and screaming as some ghost tentacle yanks him away.

Never saw it but I believe you're talking about Happy Feet.
All those three movies are amazing, especially TinTin, that chase scene that looked like one long take with no cuts
I also should probably rewatch it some day. I remember liking it as a kid when it came out and I had none of this "how it's that Final Fantasy?" because it was the first FF thing I had actual contact with.

This movie has aired on Nicktoons about 5 times in the last week. Never saw it before but found it pretty good.
Some of my French relatives with kids really like this movie. Don't know about the sequels.

I vaguely remember the tv. I think it was a French 2D animated series. Pretty decent from what I watched.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Though already mentioned, Mars Needs A Mom & Wild are definitely the ones I would nominate.
There's also Barnyard?
There's also Barnyard?
Huh? I don't think any of these films is really forgotten. Maybe Bolt, but definitely not the other two.
My vote would have to be A Foxe's Tale (Kis Vuk)
Holy shit this film is terrible. Aside from being an awful adaptation of a fantastic movie (The Little Fox, or Vuk) it is just downright awful.
Vomits...
If anyone is intrested, here is a trailer. But prepare for awefulness.

The Asterix and the Mansions of the Gods movie is actually pretty good and really on model to the comics. I don't think it got a theatrical release though.
Reminds me of Foodfight....My vote would have to be A Foxe's Tale (Kis Vuk)

I just watched Mars Needs Moms the other day. Yeah the Martians look pretty ugly but the movie is technically really impressive.

Set pieces DID look good. Human characters had that creepy uncanny valley thing going on, and the aliens were just... urgh.
Another CG movie with hideous character designs.
I.............. i'll see myself out.

If you actually wanted to be funny (kinda) you would have at least chosen the Prequels.

I don't think I ever see people talking about this movie. I rewatched it last Halloween and it's pretty decent! The animation hasn't aged very well though.
Monster House was surprisingly good actually.
For all the noise surrounding it at release, i think Rango faded incredibly quick

Somebody beat me to Free Birds, but how about this?
The Rock. Gary Oldman. John Cleese.

The poster for the film made it look unappealing but the animation looks incredible!Legend of the Guardians, not to be confused with Rise of the Guardians (which everyone also forgot).
Why yes, it was directed by Zack Snyder.

Yeah, it was pretty solid.
It's a looker but it's not especially good from what I've seen of it. I've read the books the movie is based on, too.

Friends and I cracked up every time we saw new clips of this poor dreamworks wannabe movie.
I think this movie was 10 years in the making.
I'm still not gonna watch it, but I can never forget it.

Goddammit!!! This was my choice, this movie is animated ghonorrhea
About Strange Magic, that never came to my country, most of the designs are downright hideous, but the Fairy Female Lead has a really nice design, as well as the male lead monster.
Maybe I´ll give it a watch, can't be worse than FoodFight
EDIT: Disagree with Jimmy Neutron, it had a long running series afterwards.
But for me it suffered from the same flaw as "All Grown Up!", that is picturing 10 year olds in creepy romantc scenarios....THEY'RE 10 FFS!!!

The Rock. Gary Oldman. John Cleese.
I saw this on a display TV in a store and ended up watching for about 10 minutes. It wasn't bad so I rented it. Nothing spectacular but it was decent.
