Ursinho da Pesada

It is very difficult to decide which is worse between Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter because they are both so terrible. And it is very easy to see why they are considered Video Brinquedo's- who have to be The Asylum of animated studios- worst movies. Ratatoing perhaps is slightly worse but that is saying next to nothing because The Little Panda Fighter shares exactly the same problems. It has been billed as a rip-off of Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda(not one of their absolute best films but still highly entertaining and well-made, everything The Little Panda Fighter is not) and it is, however that isn't even the worst of the problems, perhaps even the least. The animation is really hideous, again with forced character designs, flat colours(even badly coloured crayon pictures have more refinement) and backgrounds that are lacking in any kind of fluidity coming across as static instead. The action set pieces have no impact, awkwardly animated and no excitement in the movements. There is some terrible writing too, the wit/humour is juvenile and sometimes crude and the amount of heart, fun and charm is next to nothing. The story is basically Kung Fu Panda but much more predictable(making absolutely no effort at originality), Kung Fu Panda didn't feel heavy-handed, it was funny and had heart and at least it didn't bore. The Little Panda Fighter only succeeded in being dull and a chore to watch. The characters have no appeal at all from their personalities to how they look and act and the voice actors sound as though they didn't even try, they sound so lifeless. All in all, awful and one of the worst animated movies there is, and this is coming from a life-long fan of the animation medium. 0/10 Bethany Cox
