What if Fantasmical World was founded in 1946?/Awful Movies Wiki

Why it Sucks

 * 1) The plot is confusing
 * 2) Poor attempts at humor.
 * 3) Plot holes.
 * 4) This film is basically three featurettes poorly tied together.
 * 5) Some scenes were way too disturbing.
 * 6) They put the Angela Anaconda short before the beginning of the film.
 * 7) Animation errors.
 * 8) The third of the three segments are non-canonical.
 * 9) The songs pop up randomly.
 * 10) A cringeworthy rap song at the opening credits that overuses the "Doc" words.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Nice animation.
 * 2) Catchy songs, like "Here We Go" and "All Star"
 * 3) Great action scenes.
 * 4) Touching moments.
 * 5) Funny moments, like Alex the Lion wanting to go to the bathroom, only for Marty the Zebra to tell him to hold it.
 * 6) Great voice acting.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) Excessive amount of fart and burp jokes.
 * 2) The plot is confusing.
 * 3) Alicia Silverstone's acting of Heather is incredibly bad.
 * 4) It's far too easy to figure out who the villain is. Mostly because of Alicia Silverstone's poor acting to try and look innocent, and the film tries way too hard to make it look like her character isn't the villain by making the characters portrayed by Seth Green and Peter Boyle look way too suspicious.
 * 5) Laughable and forgettable dialogue.
 * 6) The villains don't come off as scary and come off as lame and pointless.
 * 7) The non-toilet humor isn't amusing either.
 * 8) Bubble Boy and Brainstormer are more dumb than they were in Dr. Gomez (2000). For example: In the potion scene, the first potion genderswaps Bubble Boy and turns Brainstormer into the alien. The second one make Bubble Boy have steroids and turns Brainstormer into a scientist. The third one also turns Brainstormer into The Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Funny moments, like the cotton candy monster scene.
 * 2) Great voice acting for the animated characters.
 * 3) New actors (except Alicia Silverstone) did a very nice job.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) Lots of adult humor in a family film. Example:
 * 2) Unfunny and gross humor like in a scene where Voodoo eats Yoodoo's feces, thinking they were raisins. (Although Voodoo was forced to eat the poop by Daniel to prove to him it wasn’t poop at all, which is just as gross).
 * 3) Too much pop-culture references and product placement.
 * 4) Clare Wilson is an unlikeable character.
 * 5) Wasted talents, including Jason Lee and David Cross.
 * 6) The special effects look uncanny.
 * 7) A few of the characters aren't portrayed all that great compared to the source material, like Mr. Rodriguez for being portrayed as rather unlikable, and Ravi not having much of a personality.
 * 8) It is insulting to the source material.
 * 9) Terrible direction by Tim Hill.
 * 10) Christopher Lennertz's score is bland.
 * 11) Ravi, Voodoo and Yoodoo sing the covers of songs that were popular in the 2000s which seem like rip-offs.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The rock version of "Daydreaming", although modernized, is as catchy as the normal version.
 * 2) The few cute moments.
 * 3) Ian is a likeable character.
 * 4) Some funny moments.
 * 5) Awesome animation.
 * 6) Great voice acting.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) Like The Tale of Ravi Rodriguez, the film still has lots of adult humor despite being a family film.
 * 2) Too much pop culture references and product placement.
 * 3) It is insulting to the source material.
 * 4) Had some jokes only the business industry would understand, like Mrs. Chubby Cheeks telling Ian, “In the words of the Donald, you're fired".
 * 5) Some scenes are mean-spirited.
 * 6) Terrible direction by Betty Thomas.
 * 7) David Newman's score is generic.
 * 8) The special effects are uncanny.
 * 9) Toby Hansen is an unlikeable character, as he pushes Grandmother Hansen down the stairs, in which broke her neck.
 * 10) Jason Lee did a horrible job voicing Jeffery.
 * 11) Mrs. Chubby Cheeks, Woodoo and Hoodoo sing way too much covers of 2000s pop songs.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Ian is still a likeable character.
 * 2) Funny moments.
 * 3) Great voice acting.
 * 4) A few cute moments.
 * 5) Awesome animation.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) Most of the jokes consist of toilet humor, bad puns (this even includes the title), and jokes that seem a little too adult for a G-rated film, such as Ian commenting on how he saw Snoop Dogg light a joint with two carrots.
 * 2) It has lots of cliches, like the "being stranded on a deserted island" cliche that has been already done to death.
 * 3) Some plot holes, like Bubble Boy in his Ricardo persona being hit on the head by a golf ball somehow turns him back to his normal personality, when it was a spider bite that actually gave him the Ricardo persona.
 * 4) It contains so much pop culture references that it even includes references to jungle films and shows like George of the Jungle, Tarzan and even survival films like Cast Away.
 * 5) The film cares so little about its cruise setting that it doesn't even tell the audience where the gang are even sailing to. (The International Music Awards might be the place their going to, but it is never really explained where it is actually taking place).
 * 6) The skimpy, flowerish bikini like outfits Maria, Mrs. Chubby Cheeks, and Ms. Smoot wear throughout the other half of the movie all look ridiculous, weird and disturbing as they are actually underage. It is also never explained what happened to their previous outfits and aren't seen again until the mid credits scene.
 * 7) Certain plot points, such as Maria breaking her leg and especially Bubble Boy developing a alternate persona named Ricardo (more on that later), go mostly nowhere.
 * 8) A massive amount of filler, the biggest offenders being Gum Girl fighting a honey badger and the dance-off between Maria, Mrs. Chubby Cheeks and Ms. Smoot, and three casino patrons on the cruise ship.
 * 9) The musical numbers serve no purpose to the story and only appear in the film because like the previous movies, they took whatever popular songs by well known artists (e.x. "Vacation" by The Go-Gos and "Trouble" by P!nk) and butcher them up with the characters singing.
 * 10) Bubble Boy's alternate personality subplot does little to impact the story and doesn't even know what it wants to satirize. It's like the producers just used a random word generator to describe the character with nothing but three words: ("Rambo" "French" and "Horny").
 * 11) At the climax where they go and find Mrs. Chubby Cheeks after she gets captured by Zoe, Ninja-Rina says that at one point in his life, he has to defy Dr. Gomez's orders, when that's all he's been doing throughout the film, making it an easily insulting and hypocritical message.
 * 12) Zoe is a bland character and her transition from supporting character to villain feels like it comes out of nowhere. What's even worse is that she gets no repercussions for almost murdering Dr, Gomez and kidnapping Mrs. Chubby Cheeks for her goal of getting the treasure in the cave. It is also unnecessary, as she pretty much redeems herself after Ian talks her down, also making the switch to villain pointless.
 * 13) Poor acting, particularly from Jenny Slate and, of course, Jason Lee, with the exception of David Cross.
 * 14) Like The Tale of Ravi Rodriguez and Who Censored Mr. Hansen, it not only again wastes the talents of Jason Lee, David Cross, Justin Long, Christina Applegate, and Amy Poehler, but also new talents like Jenny Slate (Zoe) and Alan Tudyk (Ricardo persona).
 * 15) The cliche "dance off" scene where the gang perform to a combination/remix of both "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga and "Firework" by Katy Perry in the International Music Awards is pretty much forced for the end credits, as it never even tells us what they actually even win for, if at all.
 * 16) The mid-credits scene is horrible, as it involves with Gum Girl, Bubble Boy, and Ninja-Rina going home on a plane, only to have the monkeys cause a airline food cart to crash right into Gum Girl.
 * 17) The soundtrack is bland.
 * 18) The materials given were so bad that even David Cross admitted that working on the film was the most unpleasant experience of his career.
 * 19) False advertising: The characters are wearing holiday beach outfits on the poster but they never actually do wear them in the movie.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The few cute moments.
 * 2) Nice animation.
 * 3) Awesome voice acting.
 * 4) Some funny moments.
 * 5) Ian is still a likeable character.

Why it sucks

 * 1) It recycles most of the material it has from A Ninja-Rina Movie.
 * 2) A pointless blink-and-you’ll-miss-it-scene of Buck and Rudy, when the monkeys are falling through the Earth.
 * 3) Several of the characters never got a proper introduction of how they became a part of the characters lives.
 * 4) Some of the humor can seem forced and nonsensical, like one hypocritical joke about humans dying and another human claiming it as a ”double burn”.
 * 5) The monkeys' slapstick gag of failing to get their bananas went from funny to causing more conflict and chaos for our main characters. Which makes them the villain rather than Captain Gutt.
 * 6) The humor in this film made the franchise lose it‘s way as it relies on humor from the 2010s generation.
 * 7) * On that topic, this film goes full fantasy with some of it’s scenes, like the ending scene with Gumazing Gumantis.
 * 8) A few moments can portray as nothing but being filler, like the one with sirens trying to attract the gang, heck it can even be an excuse to foreshadow the villains defeat.
 * 9) Overuse of movie clichés we’ve seen several times in other films.
 * 10) The scene where Robo-Chef, Jr. and Shira kiss is disturbing and unneeded.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some funny moments, like the "Holy Crab Man" quote.
 * 2) Nice animation.
 * 3) Awesome soundtrack by John Powell.
 * 4) Decent voice acting.

Why it Rocks

 * 1) As its Gum Girl movie tradition, the comedy is mostly childish, juvenile, immature and sometimes inappropriate for its target audience, such as how Voodoo dipping peanuts in alcohol to get some squirrels to sleep.
 * 2) Tons of pop culture references like The Tale of Ravi Rodriguez, Who Discovered Mr. Chubby Cheeks?, and The Gumazing Gum Girl!: Flipwrecked, including references to R rated movies like The Terminator and The Shining.
 * 3) This movie could not have picked a worse time to be released, as it came out the exact same day as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was considered by many to be the most anticipated film of 2015 and even went on to gross over $2 billion, which caused this movie to be the least successful of some Gum Girl movies.
 * 4) The film incorporates random cameos that don't serve much of a purpose; such as John Waters and Redfoo.
 * 5) * Speaking of Redfoo, he only appears in the film so he can promote one of his singles "Juicy Wiggle".
 * 6) The marketing was terrible. The filmmakers made a music video to promote the movie entitled (and we're really not kidding here) "Pizza Toots", a song about farting from the consumption of pizza.
 * 7) The bonding between the Ninja-Rina, Voodoo, and Yoodoo and Miles feels forced and cliched.
 * 8) The soundtrack reuses one of the songs, "Conga", from The Gumazing Gum Girl: Flipwrecked.
 * 9) Weak acting by Tony Hale, Kimberly Williams Paisley and, you guessed it, Jason Lee.
 * 10) Miles develops a crush on Ashley Green. This only gets two scenes in the beginning and end, giving the impression that the filmmakers suddenly just forgot that they wrote that in.
 * 11) Kaley Cucuo did a very horrible job voicing Gum Girl, but she gets so little screen time and lines that the switch isn't even noticeable.
 * 12) James Suggs makes for a poor villain. Tony Hale's corny underacting is not entertaining compared to David Cross' delightfully hammy performance, which is especially a shame since Cross doesn't appear in this film, making it the only installment without him.
 * 13) It wastes the talents of Justin Long, Jason Lee, Christina Applegate, Josh Green, Kimberly Williams Paisley, Tony Hale and Kaley Cucuo.
 * 14) When Suggs references The Shining with this line "Here's Suggsy!", Voodoo responds by saying "he's like the Terminator!", and to that, we have to say "wrong pop culture reference."
 * 15) The soundtrack is lackluster.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Nice CGI animation.
 * 2) Nice voice acting.
 * 3) Some funny moments.
