Top 10 Worst Computer Animated Movies
You've seen the good, the great, and the Pixar. But now it's time to stare directly into the uncanny valley and confront the animated misfires that made you question your life choices. These are the movies that made you wonder how millions of dollars, entire animation teams, and years of work could result in something that looks like a mid-2000s video game cutscene stretched to 90 minutes.
Some tried to be heartwarming and just came off creepy. Others were loud, lazy, or completely forgot that children have brains too. A few might have had all the visual polish in the world but zero soul, while some are barely held together with duct tape and a C-list voice cast phoning it in for a quick paycheck.
This list is your chance to call out the worst of the worst. Vote for the animated disasters that missed the plot, skimped on quality, or simply should've been left on a hard drive somewhere in a forgotten studio basement.

Foodfight!
Oh God, this movie could easily be one of the worst. The premise sounds like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? but with product placement, which could have made for an interesting film, but what we got was a terrible film. Enough said.
I refuse to believe 65 million dollars was put into this piece of crap. The movie clearly wasn't even finished. The animation is lazy and ugly.
Every time I see anything about this movie, my soul gets crushed, killing what I love inside of me.

Norm of the North
I've seen a better animated movie with snow, Rob Schneider, and potty humor. There is only one movie, and the infantile humor shows why I hate Eight Crazy Nights, the movie I was talking about.
Worst movie ever. I will never watch this movie again because it made me sick.
-
Mars Needs Moms
The animation is way more similar to Polar Express, except with aliens. It's like Johnny Test on a CGI platform with creepy character design and a nonsensical plot. The concept is really bad, and the title says it all. Mars Needs Moms? Get a life, director!
It's sad that the people who came out with this stupid crap made The Polar Express! I am very ashamed of them.
The characters are just hideous to look at!
-
The Nut Job
It did worse than Escape from Planet Earth and Free Birds, the two independent CGI movies of 2013, and it's getting a sequel? Proof every animated movie gets a sequel, and movies in general.
Probably a movie made by nut jobs! Hell, nut jobs can make a better movie than The Nut Job.
This movie is nuttier than squirrel poop.
A blatant rip-off of Over the Hedge. Hollywood has really run out of ideas for new computer-animated movies.
-
Frozen
I did not really like Frozen. Here are the following reasons why:
The characters are melodramatic.
The snowman is not the main character.
The songs are very annoying.
The scene in the teaser trailer does not exist in the film itself.
It is definitely overrated. It cannot compare to the creativity of Tangled and Wreck-It Ralph.
Hans does not follow the tradition of other Disney princes and true love.
Elsa's dress is ugly.
The ending is corny.
It gives snow and winter a sad tone. Even Olaf, a snowman, hates winter and anticipates summer. Elsa creates an eternal winter because Anna is going to marry a prince she just met that day.
I was actually looking forward to Hans and the dudes from Diesel Town defeating those weaklings. Unfortunately, one of the weaklings I am talking about is the queen. Also, another stupid thing is that three of the characters' names are based off of Hans Christian Andersen (Hans, Kristoff, Anna).
-
Alpha and Omega
I saw the trailer and thought to myself, "Enough! No more!" I could tell it would be effortless and uninspired.
The first one's a guilty pleasure of mine, but it should've had Garth and Lily as the main characters. The sequels are awful.
A mediocre love story that's been done a million times!
-
Doogal
Let's hope they don't do any more classic little kids' shows, for example, Button Moon, then make a crappy American version with a completely different voice cast except for two. Toilet humor and pop culture are added for no reason, and they change the first name of the main character, Mr. Spoon.
Deserves to be the one. Actually, Cars 2 isn't so bad. It was something funny, but THIS? Oh God, what do you expect from a movie that little kids don't like? (Taking into account that little kids like other crap like Batman and Robin or Superbabies.)
-
The Emoji Movie
I didn't love this movie. It was just a bad mix of Inside Out and Ralph Breaks the Internet. Inside Out follows a girl and the emotions inside of her. This follows a strange boy and the emojis in his phone! In Inside Out, the girl is dealing with growing up and moving to a new school. In The Emoji Movie, the boy is asked out by a girl, so instead of replying, "yeah," he has an existential crisis about what emoji to reply with. The movie is cliche and flat-out dumb.
Let me guess, why did they make a movie about emojis? But what would be worse? How about The Meme Movie?
-
Ratatoing
This movie sucks! Really, Video Brinquedo, you need to make a better movie and stop ripping off ideas from Disney, Disney-Pixar, Disney Princess, DreamWorks, and Blue Sky Studios!
A horribly bad quality animation ripoff of Ratatouille.
-
Agent F.O.X.
It's a terrible movie. Don't let the cover fool you. The animation is awful and zippy, the protagonist's voice sounds childish and whiny, the plot is uninspired and boring, and anyone who gave credit to this movie is completely inexperienced.
I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but now I shouldn't see it again. It looks pretty bad.
At first, I thought this movie was going to be cool, but I was wrong.

Arctic Dogs
Why are CGI arctic-themed animated films so hopelessly abysmal?
-
?
Ralph Breaks the Internet
The most terrible, mean-spirited, and hideously animated movie to come out of Walt Disney Animation Studios since Chicken Little 13 years prior.
-
Planes
It's just a robbery! This movie shows how people are running out of ideas. First cars, then planes, what comes next, boats?
This movie is so bad that it makes Cars 2 look like the entire How to Train Your Dragon trilogy!
I'm ready for the new movie called "Trains," "Trucks," or, or, "Boats."
-
A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure
It looks like someone took Gumby and Cars and combined them. I have never seen it, but it looks pretty stupid.
Like Ratatoing, it rips off Pixar again. Bug's Life and Cars with Gumby had a child.
-
Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar
You know, they made two films with a similar plot: The Princess and the Popstar and Rocking Royals. This just shows how lazy they are.
Yuck. I can't believe I used to watch this.
-
Where the Dead Go to Die
I did not know what this movie was before seeing it on this list. I looked it up, and apparently the creator was high and tripping on LSD while making it. This is truly something out of a creepypasta.
Oh my God! Someone actually did it! Some sick, messed up person actually made an animated movie that is worse than Foodfight! I didn't even think such a movie could exist. This is like "the Lord Voldemort of Animated Movies," because it makes people shudder when saying or even hearing the title!
Why would Frozen, Zootopia, and Cars 2 even be on this list?! They had great animation! Why would they be higher than this abomination of Satan?!?
I'd even say this movie is worse than Garbage Pail Kids, Caillou, Son of the Mask, Drawn Together, The Drawn Together Movie, The Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, anything made by Video Brinquedo, the Alpha and Omega sequels, The NeverEnding Story 3, A Troll in Central Park, A Car's Life, Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale, anything made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, Teen Titans Go!, and even the God dang animated Titanic movies! How low is that?!

Barbie and the Secret Door

Ice Age: Collision Course
-
Ratchet & Clank
-
Ivan the Incredible
I'm sure Ivan the Terrible feels more upset they ripped off his name.
This movie is ugly on so many levels.
-
Happily N'Ever After
This movie is a ripoff of Shrek!
-
The Wild
Well, this is at least not a total rip-off of Madagascar. It's really a slight rip-off of Madagascar, but this is even better than that stupid movie Transformers! At least it's better than all the Transformers movies. The animation style is better than Madagascar, but I think this can't exist. It just can't!
Even the movie itself looks like it was made by a bunch of monkeys and chimpanzees who have yet to discover civilization.
This is Disney ripping off Madagascar in an unfunny and boring way. The CGI is terrible.
-
Open Season 3
Feels like a third-world ripoff of Madagascar 3 (even though this came out first).
-
Barbie & Her Sisters in A Pony Tale
Stop making Barbie movies. We want more princess movies, not the same girl over and over.
Barbie is running out of ideas.
They only made one, I repeat, one Sindy movie: Sindy The Fairy Princess in 2003.
-
Bee Movie
It's also really stupid and really mean-spirited. This movie just makes me question our embarrassing existence. I can't even watch Seinfeld anymore because of this movie.
One of the most boring DreamWorks movies I've ever seen. The story didn't really make a whole lot of sense. It felt like I was watching an episode of Seinfeld.
A pointless story with awful characters.
-
Chicken Little
Walt Disney Animation Studios making this movie is like if Studio Ghibli had made Earwig and the Witch this whole time. Oh wait.
This feels like a feature-length Season 6 episode of SpongeBob because of how uncomfortably mean-spirited it is.
-
Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale
That name. No words, just that name. I have no words. I'm done.
