Board 8 > Gauntlet Crew Ranks (more!) Animated Films! - I've got horns for making lists

(+) Yeah! (+)

red: There are a few movies on this list that chose to split themselves into two movies in one. I'm not sure any fail at this as hard as The Lorax. The title character of the movie, like most of it, has little impact on the present. The more interesting of the stories is held in the past, and the telling of this can do a marginal job of holding your interest. The problem is the movie places too emphasis on the present, which you honestly never have much reason to care about until the very end of the movie. The kid sneaking out of town, after the first time, just never feels meaningful, instead more of a needless distraction.

Johnbobb: Oh man the fat one just always wants food. Get it, because hes fat? The jokes are lame, the songs are awful, the character motivations are shallow and generic. Ill give the film just a tiny bit of credit for somewhat replicating the Dr. Seuss art style, but thats all it gets.

JONA: I know you have to really stretch some things to make a short childrens story into a feature length movie, but boy is this not how you do it. Making the boy having a love interest really hurts the message of the movie because it doesnt feel like the boy is saving the tree because he cares about the environment but instead hes saving the tree to satisfy his hormones. The Lorax and the animals come off as unlikable for attempting to murder the Once-ler and fuckt hose fish for being bootleg Minions. A movie could have helped the Once-lers backstory be more interesting and detailed but its just wasted here as him going from good to bad just takes a single song. The wacky moments the movie has are boring and par for the course. For a book about the environment, this movie is toxic garbage.

Stifled: In a sane world where Sausage Party doesnt exist, this is the bottom of the barrel. Its a fucking disgraceful cash grab that takes the beautiful message of the original book/animated short and takes a big, colorful, out of tune shit all over it. It makes me angry. So angry. I am actually hovering my mouse over this RIGHT NOW to copypasta it into last place. But then I remembered the food orgy scene in Sausage Party. AT LEAST all the little woodland critters didnt have a gang bang to convince the lame hipster version of Onceler to stop chopping down trees. And the fact that there was no gang bang is somehow a saving grace for this movie is just indicative of the world we currently live in. Oh and by the way, Taylor Swift should never do voice acting again. Ever.

Traviss opinion: It was bright and colorful and he loves trees. He said the word trees a bunch of times while we watched it. And it had a car chase for like NO FUCKING REASON. So of course he liked it. Poor shmuck.

#31 Hint: This movie received 3 top half rankings.
---

You know I didn't actually get the feeling that the fish were discount Minions while watching but looking back they totally were.
---

Definitely wasn't enough to taint the movie for me. I didn't get that impression at all because unlike the Minions, they didn't attempt to dominate the screen.
---

Next one might actually be Sausage Party
---

I had said I expected (at least) 3 high ranks for sausage party. This would fulfill that.

JONA: 29
red: 38
Ermine: 40

Total: 315

Snake:Chock full of sex, dark humor, swearing galore, its shocking for the sake of being shocking and enjoyable for that reason alone.

Johnbobb: Hope you like food puns, because youre gonna get SO many here. And also, I surprisingly intelligent examination of the effects on society (and how people on both sides of religious arguments can be assholes). Also, gratuitous amounts of sex, violence and stoner humor. I know a lot of people dont like this one, and I can understand why, but at the same time, I have to give Rogen and co. credit for managing to capture the feelings everything from Pixar to Tom & Jerry to Superbad.

scarlet: While the pothead mentality of a certain Seth Rogen will certainly permeate the membranes of more conservative, less approving members of the gauntlet crew with its stench, Sausage Party attempts to subvert an entire genre of storytelling with mixed results. With a certain wickedness, Sausage Party points out a lot of the pitfalls Pixar and Dreamworks films fall into with every plotline. The expectations of a family animated film are clearly lambasted here, but too often the skewering wit sinks into a mire of cliched raunchy humor. But why not use lazy humor in a film pointing out lazy writing? Eventually the quality of writing becomes more stale than Kristin Wiig three days out of the package, but until that point, theres a harmless little film here.
Rating: 54/100

Karo: This is about a supermarket where all the food is sentient, and they worship the store's shoppers as 'gods' that take them outside to live in the Great Beyond (food heaven). Now we know EXACTLY what happens to food once it gets taken home, and this only makes the situation more hilarious. What on the surface looks to be simply a raunchy animated comedy is actually wry satire about the nature of religion in society, and this facet is the main saving grace of the film. The story is about a young sausage's quest to find out the truth, and all the racial stereotypes he meets on his journey. Because like seriously, every single ethnic/minority group is portrayed in the most exaggerated, offensive and insensitive way imaginable. Whether this was poking fun at stereotyping or is just plain racist is up for debate. The biggest problem however is the same one that plagues so many of these types of adult animated movies; the main focus being on the film being inappropriate for children rather than having any real maturity. Like do you really need the characters dropping an f-bomb in every sentence, random orgies, and the villain sexually violating a cute little cartoon juicebox by sucking its innards out through its crotch? Yes its a fucking R-rated movie, we fucking get it already you fucking fucker fuckity fuck fuck.
---

charon: A very divisive movie to be sure, I bounce back and forth how I really feel about this one. As the lone truly adult comedy oriented movie here, it definitely feels unique to this list. The social commentary here is extremely good when it's on point. The film itself is basically a showcase of religion's control over the freedom and happiness of people. The banter between the token Jew and token Muslim was my favorite point. What really hurts this film is the final scenes of it; the highly unnecessary and offensive sex orgy. Though if Rogen and company were extremely clever, they could be saying "this is what happens when you abandon religion altogether, isn't it horrifying?". I'm not certain that IS what was going on however, and for the imagery alone then coupled with the lack of consequences after it, it hurts the score I could have given this film otherwise.

Genny: I don't care what (I'm assuming is the majority of) y'all thought of it, Sausage Party was a fun movie. At least most of it was. Let me say this: without that food orgy and weak ass fourth wall break at the end I would've ranked it a dozen spots higher at least. The adult humor bordered on clever because it didn't take itself too seriously. For real when your movie's opening line is "Oh shit" that's your cue to shut your brain off and enjoy the acid-induced ride.

JONA: While the movie is certainly ambitious, the message of the movie comes off as pretentious and an excuse to paint the movie as smart. For me, the worst part of the movie isnt all the gross-out sexual stuff, but the fact that the movie just isnt funny.

red: This is...the strangest movie I've ever watched. At first you have a crude world where you are waiting for the food to learn and deal with their fate. Its mostly just crude while you are waiting for the reveals...and then the movie turns into a literal drug trip and then a severed head falls out of the ceiling. Then at a certain point the plot has mostly vanished and it will attempt to see if it can gross out as many people as possible in as short a period of time. Its at this point it simply stops being entertaining or funny and I'm just waiting for it to finally be finished, its just totally off the rails at that point. Also for whatever reason they chose this medium to throw in a deeper message about religion.

Stifled: This is complete and utter garbage. Call me a prude if you want, but the humor fell completely flat for me. South Park is an example of edgy done correctly. Sausage Party is a pile of raunch just for the sake of having it. Any clever ideas they actually had were completely chucked out the window when they made every character a depraved sex maniac for like no reason. Fuck you and your food orgy.

Traviss opinion: I watched this when he was just barely a year old, so he didnt pay it any attention. I AM NOT A BAD DAD DAMMIT!
---

Ermine: I cannot willingly place the movie as anything other than last because that would be giving it more credit than it ever deserves. I will never ever understand how people can enjoy such vulgarity and it's honestly depressing knowing there are people that enjoy this kind of trash. The only thing more depressing is that I know that there are people in the world that actually act like these characters do in the movie and that the portrayals are shockingly accurate... I didn't laugh once and I think I smirked once when Peanut Butter lost his wife, Jam. At one point in the film, I literally thought that half of the dialog was swear words and I wouldn't be surprised if I was right.

How is listening to a bunch of ugly animated food items spewing obscenities funny in any way? Wait... I have a better question...

How is watching a bunch of ugly animated food items fuck each other even remotely enjoyable or funny in any way? Like seriously, what in the hell? This wasn't even a short scene, it lasted 3 WHOLE MINUTES.

It's movies like this that really just make me completely lose faith in humanity and rather than feeling angry or upset that I just wasted an hour and a half of my time, I'm really just depressed. Wow...

Inviso: As a general rule in these rankings, I have made it a point to watch every movie on the list in order, even if Ive seen it before. In the case of this movie, Im breaking that rule. I saw Sausage Party one time, and I absolutely refuse to every watch it again under any circumstances. It didnt bother me at firstjust standard raunchy humor from Seth Rogan and his buddies. But Im extremely squeamish, and one of the things I struggle with is how certain images make me lose my appetite, particularly with regards to soft foods. And EVERY time I even THINK of Sausage Party, I remember the street scene, particularly the used condom, and it makes me completely lose my appetite. It disgusts me and I justI cant ever watch this film again. I hope one day Ill be able to forget it entirely, but for now, it ranks at the bottom of my list.

JONA: While the movie is just a mess that definitely looks like it had troubles with production, it still ended up being alright. Should have called the movie, The Okay Dinosaur.

scarlet: The title is a little misleading, as the dinosaur was a real piece of shit. So much so in fact that The Good Dinosaur may be the most underwhelming film in the Pixar library.
Rating: 50/100

Karo: In a world where the dinosaur extinction never happened a talking dino named Arlo gets lost in the wilderness and gets his own pet human boy. The entire movie is just them trying to find their way home with some stuff thrown in about Arlo trying to overcome his cowardice. There is really not much point to the movie at all, and what little plot there is just seems like an arbitrary excuse to see more pretty desktop backgrounds. Like it could literally be a Pixar short without sacrificing anything of significance. Really its just Brother Bear with ugly characters, even less story, and one character not being able to talk. I realize the title is a subtle riff on that horrible CGI monstrosity made at the turn of the century, but it it still a bit generous to call it the 'good' Dinosaur.

Snake: Doesnt feel like Pixar at all. It shouldve been called The Mediocre Dinosaur. Im sure that joke is original.

Inviso: Pixar has had some definite clunkers in the past (looking at you, Cars 2 and Monsters University), but they havent made a movie this uninspiring sincesince EVER. Even duds like A Bugs Life and Cars at least had a fun and diverse cast of characters. This movie is just a road trip between a douche and his semi-silent animal sidekick. The Southern setting doesnt help much, and in fact it makes the few non-Arlo characters that much more unlikable by giving them over-the- top redneck accents. That being said, its not a terrible movie. Its justcompletely safe and average. One moment got me emotional (Arlo explaining to Spot about family and Spot explaining that his family died), which I suppose counts for something. And its not like the story was bad. JustI wasnt a huge fan of Arlo and the plot was slow, thats all. Couldve been worse. Couldve been much better.
---

Ermine: "This is Dreamcrusher, he protects me from having unrealistic goals."

This line was the only thing in the whole film that I enjoyed. Even the rest of this character's lines were pretty awful, but that was pretty hilarious.

This movie is weird and awkward in all the wrong ways. Everything to do with the human "Spot" is just cringe worthy and bad. I was hoping the kid would just get eaten instantly and we could have a totally different movie. Though it wouldn't make the movie THAT much better considering Arlo isn't that great of a main character either. The characters are by far the weak link in this film and it really shows. Not one of the "sad" scenes with Arlo and Spot or any of the characters did I even remotely feel empathy for. The whole side thingy with the T-rexes was also incredibly awkward and weird and didn't feel right at all. That's definitely the next biggest problem with the film is that since it feels so incredibly by the books that when they do do different things, it just feels so cringy and wrong. At least the animation looked really nice, but that's Pixar. It also doesn't help that my two least favorite dinosaurs are "Long Necks" and T-rexes so having them as basically the only good dinosaurs in the film is a huge whatever for me.

Overall that's really what I think of the film though. A huge mass of whatever. This doesn't hold a candle to The Land Before Time or even a couple of its sequels.

red: A non-sequel Pixar movie that is terrible? What have we come to? Well, we've come to boring. We're supposed to be seeing a world where the dinosaurs didn't die, but we see so little of the world it feels like we just went to a world with a dinosaurs and a single human. These dinos are farmers, for some reason, and everyone else we encounter will be savages. Then you have Arlo. While you can feel bad for Arlo, at the end of the day, he is an idiot and the cause of all problems. He gets his own father killed and then proceeds to put the rest of his family at risk for starvation. Also Arlo is supposed to put his mark on the silo for accomplishing something, but his only accomplishment at the end of the movie is being lucky enough to make it home without dying. He is still worthless.

charon: Though this is not Pixar at their worst, it is definitely them at their most forgettable. A boring trod through a mix of beautiful animation and badly done CGI, this movie is led by an unlikable protagonist who never really manages to grab anyone's attention. I'm kinda glad Arlo came along, now Aladar will shine in the gauntlets for sure! Anyway, there are a few decent moments here and there. It's not like it's a bad film; it's just very forgettable and definitely feels like a throwaway title from Sony or another studio. Pixar or Disney being behind this feels very wrong and strange to me. If I had to pick a favorite part, it would be the semi-emotional scene where the main characters reveal that they are connected because they're both orphans. If I had cared about the characters themselves better, I would have probably shed some tears here. It only moved me some, because I remembered I barely cared about any character in this film at all. The supporting cast, the side bit characters, the villains. Everything is so eh. Nothing detracts, but nothing attracts either.
---

Johnbobb: What the fuck, Pixar. You are SO MUCH better than this! There are some movies on the list I went into expecting to be bad, and, unsurprisingly, the mostly were. The Good Dinosaur on the other hand takes the gold for most disappointing by a mile. I went into this expecting Pixar quality and what I got was the same rehashed formulaic plot story of annoying characters, low stakes, and predictable plot development. Theres hardly a single original idea in the whole movie! By like 5 minutes in I was able to point to the dad and say hes gonna die early on and guess what the fuck he did. I was able to point at the protag (who would be the annoying sidekick in any normal shitty kids movie) and say hes gonna end the movie by putting his footprint on the wall rather than going through ACTUAL character growth by learning to be his own person, having learned so much about the world around him. I can barely even remember the main villain beyond the fact that he was voiced by Steve Zahn of all people. What kind of Pixar movie has a forgettable throwaway main antagonist? God, fuck this movie and everyone involved in making this garbage cash-in.

Genny: It's really no wonder both Disney and Pixar have tried to sweep The Good Dinosaur under the rug. I am sure this movie will go down as the worst original Pixar film ever not because it's bad, but because it's so unmemorable. Disney as a whole should just stop making movies about dinosaurs because no matter WHAT they do it's never going to top The Land Before Time. Geez Walt, just let Bluth have that ONE THING.

Anyway Arlo ties with another protagonist on this list as the worst Pixar original lead character (that's right I dislike Lightning McQueen, Flik and TS1 jerk ass Woody less than both), and much like with the other protag it's up to their far less offensive deuteragonist to not only make them less hateable but save the entire film. Spot is responsible for two of the only three scenes in this movie I actively enjoyed, and unfortunately one of those two involve him peeing. That's a pretty low bar. I will say I enjoyed the t-rexes being neutral/good instead of bad, and the pterosaurs being evil scavengers. That was an unexpected role reversal there. It's terrible I know, but I actually laughed the first time I saw Arlo's dad get washed away. It was supposed to be an emotional scene and it just failed. That's basically this entire movie aside from one scene (you probably know the one). It tried and tried to get you to care about these characters and ultimately fails because one of them is such a cowardly little shit.

Stifled: It doesnt particularly do anything wrong, but it also doesnt particularly do anything well either. It simply exists. Pixar had a shot at really knocking a movie about dinosaurs out of the park after regular Disney made a boring one. Pixar, instead, opted to compete with Disney as to who could make a less interesting, yet pretty movie with dinos. I will give the nod to Good Dinosaur for being the better of the two, but that isnt saying much.

Traviss opinion: He was sick during this one, so he took a nap. It relaxed him, so Ill at least give it a thumbs up for that. Ill have to rewatch it when he feels better and see how he reacts.

29. Trolls

Stifled: 28
charon: 29
Genny: 31
scarlet: 31
Johnbobb: 33
JONA: 36
Ermine: 39
Snake: 40

Karo: The Trolls are like the Smurfs with a larger color pallet, fuzzy haired little critters who live in the forest and try to avoid getting eaten by the ogre-like Bergens. When everyone gets captured, the happy troll and the grumpy troll are forced to work together to save everyone. Of great note is the unique visuals that make much of the world look like a kid's arts and crafts project, and makes it really stand out from the usual 'dreamworks style'.

One of the greatest issues facing Dreamworks movies in general is 'self-centered protagonist syndrome'. All though the Dreamworks lexicon, nearly every lead protagonist they have created has, or at least starts out with, petty selfish goals and a toxic disregard for the people around them and society in general. However, Poppy turns this trend on its head to an immense degree. Poppy may be naive, but her actions are always well-meaning and with the best interests of others in mind, particularly near the end of the film when they are home free and she turns back in order to protect the Bergen who helped them escape. Even the acerbic Branch actually cares about the other trolls, even if his poor social skills usually make him come off as a dick.

Actually wanting the protagonists to succeed at their goals rather than being hit with a cement mixer is enough to pass up 90% of the dreamworks filmography.
The movie is not without its share of problems, most largely the obnoxious supporting cast. Like there is literally one character who speaks solely in an auto-tuned voice and farts glitter out of his sparkly little troll ass. Yikes. Thankfully they are not in the story that much but seriously this has got to be the most worthless pack of animated side characters since the early Pixar days.

Inviso: There is ZERO reason for this to be a good movie. At all. Like, youre dealing with an existing IP that doesnt really lend itself to quality storytelling, and ultimately the plot was very sugary and saccharine. Butsomehow, Trolls made it work. I think a lot of that had to do with the soundtrack being lively and fun (even if the movie is extremely dated already), and the fact that it never overdid itself. Like, this was the perfect movie to really shove those secondary comic relief characters to the forefront, but instead the plot stayed focused on Poppy and Branch (with secondary emphasis on the King and Bridget). That made it more fun to watch, honestly, because somehowPoppy and Branch were compelling characters. They balanced each other out and helped each other growand I liked that. Its a real surprise that I enjoyed the film as much as I did, so here we go.

red: Race of excessively happy creatures is food for a bunch of uglies. Except theres a lot of uglies and maybe 1 to 1 population with trolls as far as we can tell. There is absolutely no way for the supply of trolls to be enough to keep all of the uglies happy in the slightest. Also the uglies are totally incapable of feeding themselves and somehow entirely dependent on one person to feed them literal happiness. If you can turn your brain off to ignore all this, the movie is tolerable.
---

Stifled: There were some solid jokes and likeable characters in this one. I expected it to be close to the bottom of the list and kind of dreaded watching it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It still isnt GREAT, mind you, but I would gladly watch it again. Its almost like a parody on aggressive happiness and singing while having most of the characters be aggressively happy and a walking glee club.

Traviss opinion: He LOVED this one. Tons of bright colors and pretty voices kept him happy and transfixed the whole time.

charon: This movie embraced what I feared most coming in; everything is too damn bubbly and happy. Branch is a respite from this, but everything else is so obnoxious and stupid. The dumbest was throwing a huge party complete with fireworks. Everyone knows the intelligent thing to do when giants are in search of you to consume your entire species is to shoot fireworks into the air alerting them to your location. There's also no realization that Branch's way of being a realist is valuable, even after that debacle; they basically just embrace happiness as the key to everything and Branch was never right at all. Granted, his revelation that "music killed my grandma!" was so poorly timed and scripted it would be hard to take him very seriously. The music here is pretty good despite all that, even if I didn't agree with the course the movie took. That and fond memories of when I actually watched this give it a modestly decent spot.

Genny: Trolls was pretty awful. I know at least one of you liked this movie a lot, but Branch is pretty much the only good character in it, the only one with any common sense, and they basically rewrite his character in the final act because Poppy needed a pick-me-up what the everloving hell? No you can't tell me after a series of shitty decisions she was right all along fuck you movie. Plus after genociding 2/3rds of their population the Bergen get to live happily ever after with the trolls what the fucking fuck?

scarlet: This film is true to its name.
Rating: 33/100

Johnbobb: Im not going to try to say this movie is without its positives. I give it a lot of credit for its facial animations, which were surprisingly the highlight of the film for me. It gave just a bit of personality to the characters personality that these characters desperately needed. The movies like overdosing on Fun Dip but also the Fun Dip came with Cronenbergian body horror hair and obnoxious and out-of-place song covers. For a movie thats all about being happy, this film pissed me off just a BIT too much.
---

JONA: I usually try to be positive when it comes to movies but this just brought out my inner cynicism. The characters are obnoxious, the song covers are terrible and the premise is dumb. How does their whole race reproduce without happiness? How have there been no suicides? The movie was colorful, so Ill give it that I guess.

Ermine: I made a grave mistake... I didn't include this movie on my list of shitty movies that I would watch first. I don't know how it slipped through my radar but holy crap I want to murder everyone that had any involvement in this film. I don't know if I've ever come across a main character that I've wanted to kill more than Poppy. Just everything about her makes me uncontrollably upset. So many terrible crappy jokes that make you cringe so hard and I honestly believe I audibly said "Fuck off" more than 10 times while watching, that's how upset every little thing in the film was making me. On TOP of that, they also ruined a couple actually good songs that I enjoy. Now I won't be able to listen to them without seeing that piece of crap character Poppy and her shit eating grin, THANKS! Really, I truly appreciate it!

Honestly, I could go on, but I don't want to waste another second even thinking about this pile of garbage.

Snake: Quite possibly the worst movie Ive ever seen. There has never been a movie that begged to be immeaditly shut off on the spot than this uninspired, boring, blandly animated clich fest. The characters are cardboard cut-outs and go through arcs youve seen a million times before. The movie realizes it has no plot left after Poppy and Branch reach Bergenstown so instead the movie focuses on this really horrible love story between this minor maid character who suddenly becomes important out of nowhere and the Bergens king. Unsurprisingly its godawful. I wish to purge my mind with bleach after seeing this inspid dumpster fire.
