Foodfight!

Foodfight! is a disgustingly ugly computer-animated adventure comedy movie. I think only people who are into references to classic films, sexual innuendos, childish humor, and infantile characters will find this interesting. If this movie was made for an all-ages audience, it is an excellent example of how filmmakers can utterly fail in this regard on all counts. [The Shockproof Film Festival 2022] (13.05.2022)

I'm of the opinion that if you want to have a truly comprehensive overview of something, you don’t only need to know the best but also the worst that there is to offer. After all, it's good to find out where the rock bottom is. Then you can say to yourself that the anime you've just watched is terrible, but it's still better than, say, Pupa or Vampire Holmes. Similarly, 3D animation has its Trolland (and now Foodfight!). So, when one of my favorite users rated this today and I found out that it’s supposed to be the worst 3D animation given the year of production and budget, I prepared myself for the worst and went for it. And it's really bad - a dumb, repulsive, and pathetic film that made me wonder where the 65 million dollars went. Certainly not into the animation, direction, or script. The only person who seemed to have made any effort was the guy in charge of the music, but even that couldn't save the abomination that was happening on screen.  Imagine a dumb B-movie detective story wrapped in the most amateurish animation you've ever seen. The movements of most of the characters and some of the objects (such as a plane) feel jarring and unnatural, the characters look artificial, and the creators couldn't even handle complete basics such as making the characters' eyes look at least somewhat lifelike. On top of that, the textures (grass, sidewalks) are terrible and look like something out of a retro game from the early 90s. The dialogue is a chapter unto itself, and its dullness certainly didn't help me follow what was going on. Even the humor is incredibly cheesy. I had a few laughs at how bad the whole thing was, but it only lasted me for the first few minutes. After that I just stared open-mouthed, wondering what the hell I was watching... 0/10 (17.11.2022)
