The Little Cars 1

Video Brinquedo. You will be hearing that name a loooong time on my blog. It's an Brazilian animation studios, with animation hits like: Ratatoing, What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue, Chop Kick Panda and Little Cars. Crappy animation, 4Kids voice actors and super original stories. (I mean: come on! Talking cars! That's never done before!)  Here is my first Video Brinquedo review: The Little Cars 1 (Yes, there are 9 more of them): The Great Race!

Pixar was doing really wel with their new movie ''Cars''. A nice and lovable story about a talking racing car. So, this is Video Brinquedo's answer to it. The story: There is some annually race, and a car named Tony (Lightning McQueen) won the race 8 years in a row. So, when he's about to lose, he has to ask his friends Pokey, who's addicted to money, (Mater) and Coupe (Sally) for help.

Let's first talk about the animation. The only thing I can say about it, is ''WHY???''. You know what I said about the Playstation 1 in the FoodFight review? This is even worse. The only thing that moves are their mouths. The character designs are also very cheap. Tony is the main character, so he's number 1, and full of flames. Pokey is just the same as Mater, only with another color and a lamp on his head. And Coupe is a girl, so she's pink. DONE!
 
The story is easy, but I'm sure it'll keep your little nephew or brother quiet for half an hour. If your little brother loves Cars, he probably take this as well. It has flashing colors, a simple story and characters that are easy comparable to the normal Cars-characters.  But if he has more than 10 braincells, even he would understand this is trash.


The biggest problem is: the movie is only 35 minutes. No, I have to say it better: The story is 15 minutes, the stupid gags and character introduction are 20 minutes. If you wanted to introduce your characters, why not make a special little movie for it? But that's just me.

So my conclusion: The Little Cars is a perfect example for Video Brinquedo's movies. A stupid and thin plot, characters who are almost the same as the original movies, terrible animation and horrible voice-acting. I guess this movie was created for parents of little-Cars fan who couldn't afford the real thing, so who find this a great alternative. But parents, please. Look at what your kids are watching. There are freaking 8 movies, 2 specials, a PC-game AND EVEN A FRIKKIN MUSICAL of this sh*t. Sigh.


This was my review of The Little Cars 1: The Big Race. What do you think of this movie? Put it in the comments. Make sure to read my next Animation Disasters review. Bye!

FoodFight!

Sorry, the Video Brinquedo review of 'The Little Cars' will come later. I HAD to review this.

Charlie Sheen as the role model of a children's movie. That's all we need in this world. Here is FoodFight!

The movie starts with a supermarket closing. So far, so good. But within a minute, the whole supermarket changes in a foodcountry, with all the brand mascots coming to life. Toy Story, but worse. Faaar worse. I'm ashamed I even compared Toy Story and this to each other.
Then we see the ''hero'' of our story: Dex the Dog-tective, voiced by Charlie Sheen. He's fighting with a... bandit mouse? On a hot-air balloon? With hamsterninjas? I think I missed that brand. So Dex defeats the mouse and saves the day for the 500th time. To celebrate that, Dex is thinking to ask his girlfriend Sunshine, to marry him. Oh, and she's voiced by Hilary Duff. No, I'm not making this up. But when the times ripe, Sunshine mysteriously dissapears, so Dex has to save the day.


The first thing that's wrong with this movie? It costs $65 million dollars and the production started in 2003. But the animation is terrible. Not just normal bad. It's horrible. Terrible. They probably spend al the 65 million dollars on getting Sheen, Duff and Christopher Lloyd (Oh, didn't I mention him) for this piece of crap. The second thing: the product-placement. This movie is nothing more than 87 minutes of advertisement for food-brands. This is like a movie you can get with a big of Cheetos.
The third thing? Food-nazis and sexual references. And not 1 or 2 sex-references. Like 20. Sigh.

Oh, the ''story'' further. Dex has to save Sunshine, a penguin dies, Dex saves Sunshine, the penguin comes back to live, Dex marries her, and they tell Dex is Jewish. Wait what? Yeah, that's FoodFight for you.
I will tell you one thing, creators. If the Playstation 1 has better animation than your movie, then you're doing something wrong. Just telling. Oh and one thing, one of the creators, Amy Donges, said this about FoodFight: The ''FoodFight'' graphics are absolutely amazing, comparable to Pixar's. It's even more real life. HAH!


By the way, here you can watch the whole thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rpts5fEd4E

Be back next time for a review of Video Brinquedo's (yes, this time for real) ''The Little Cars 1''.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Splinter

Ah, SpongeBob SquarePants. One of the most loved and popular modern cartoons. It has classics like ''Chocolate with Nuts'' or ''Help Wanted''. Yeah, the first 3 seasons of SpongeBob were awesome. But then, the most horrible SpongeBob season ever appeared: Season 6.

With classics like ''House Fancy'', ''The Clash of Triton'' and horrible episode ''The Splinter''. Let's review it!
The episode opens with SpongeBob, Squidward and Mr. Krabs waiting for the Krusty Krab. When the restaurant opens, the first thing SpongeBob does, is what he's the best in, cooking Krabby Patties. But when his spatula is stuck in the roof, the horror of The Splinter begins.
He creates a tower of boxes, pans and glasses. When it falls down, SpongeBob got a big nasty splinter. He tries to rip it out with his spatula. And that's when Squidward comes in, and he tells if he doesn't lose its splinter, he will get fired.

Great logic, isn't it?

SpongeBob runs outside, where Patrick is in the Krusty Krab dumpster. Why? Idk. When SpongeBob tells about his problem, Patrick turns into the greatest horror in the history of SpongeBob SquarePants: Dr. Patrick. He tells SpongeBob he can help him. You know by doing what? Punching on the splinter with a hammer. We know Patrick was dumb, but this is freaking horrible. His thumb changes into a big nasty piece of dogsh*t. He tries to work with it, but of course that's impossible. When  Mr. Krabs finds out, he just pulls out the splinter. 11 minutes of horror for nothing.

Remember when SpongeBob was good? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Follow us next time with a Video Brinquedo review!
