Why is it so bad

[deleted]

it's pretty bad. the worst part is the referrences to other movies every 2 seconds. humor was terrible.

you can tell that the HUGE stars only signed up because of the animation. but it's gotten to where computer animation has just replaced drawn and is no longer awesome every time. disney pixar is the only hope for it.

I havent seen this, and Ive been seeing such horrible comments about it, people say its horrible just for the script? it couldnt have been that bad to bring it down so much, will someone please give some more details

This film is a dubbed version of the British/French film, THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT. Dougal (not "Doogal") and the other characters were very popular in Europe (they were in a series of stop-motion shorts since the 60s, which were featured in a kids' program on Nickelodeon in the mid-to-late 80s). But no matter how well-known THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT was, the Weinsteins had to mess it up. They were just trying to make a quick buck to one-up Pixar. The dubbing smacks of the usual cynicism. Bathroom jokes and pop-culture references. The original was never like this.

Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino may be their best talent, but the Weinsteins don't give the same respect to other films. Classic victims include Richard Williams' ill-fated animated masterpiece THE THIEF AND THE COBBLER (as ARABIAN KNIGHT) and *numerous* HK kung fu films (with badly-redone soundtracks). It's unforgivable.
