Absolutely. Terrible.


I mean, look at it. At least Foodfight! was so bad it was funny/scary. But this movie is just BAD. The plot and jokes are just so tasteless. SEVERAL of the characters' features are ripped off from other movie franchises. Like, those 3 little rodents are so similar to Madagascar's penguins. Other characters bare resemblance to Open Season or Over the Hedge. It's awful. No doubt it's gonna bomb hard.

i won't go so far as to call "worse than Foodfight!" but yeah, this thing looks horrid! i won't be surprised if it bombs and gets hated by almost everybody

reply

This looks slightly better than Nut Job.

reply

nope, not even close. i mean, The Nut Job sucked too but at least that movie had decent animation. this thing has nothing! f@#k, even the damn sound effects were garbage. so, no. this looks even worse than the nut job

reply

I hear Nut Job 2 is coming out on the same day as this.

reply

I haven't heard anything about Nut Job 2 after they announced it. I wonder if it was canned.

reply

Still scheduled, I don't remember seeing the trailer for the last one until December. It has a song by Owl City listed as apart of the soundtrack.

reply

I couldn't agree more. I saw the trailer for this when I saw the Peanuts Movie (which was amazing BTW) and I was cringing the whole time. It made me so angry that children's movies have fallen to such a low. This kind of awful children's movie making is what's ruining our next generations.

reply

This movie is at a 2.9 score now. I saw it today and God was it a slap in the face to any kind of animation. Some poor kids will probably have to sit through this this weekend.

If you're interested, have a review of the movie here- https://youtu.be/Gjs_LPSRIdg


Trying to go for an informative, and hopefully something people think is funny, youtube channel so hope you guys like. Thanks

It actually has a 0% fresh score at Rotten Tomatoes.

Ouch!

That score is well deserved, I have seen many animated features in the cinema in recent years as I have four children and we have cinema passes and I am struggling to think of a worse animated film than this. It just seemed to be a one joke film (It's a polar bear but people don't realise that because it talks) and that joke wasn't even funny in the first place. My kids thought it was rubbish too and what amazes me more than that is how many good/excellent reviews there are of this film on IMDB, are they blind?? The low rating on IMDB is well desreved, as mentioned elsewhere to see a really good animated feature watch Shaun the sheep or Inside out, hell watch any other animated feature out there than this, Kung Fu Panda 3 was good, Capture the flag watchable as was the Snoopy film, Home was decent and for a kids film recent offerings Paddington and Goosebumps were excellent, this was trash and 1.5 hours I will never get back of my life, are they really planning sequels? I hope not!!

It stars Rob Schneider, what does that tell you?

reply

It tells me that I'd rather see him playing a stapler. De derp de derp de toodily tum.

reply

It's also got Kate Higgins, currently dubbing the role of one of the most famous anime characters, Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon in here! Really a shame, especially since Sailor Moon is a fantastic anime series.

Guess Kate and Rob needed money or some work...

reply

I would rather have a root canal.

Wut my name is....

reply

It was absolutely horrendous. The producers, director etc should be blacklisted from the movie industry. Permanently.

reply

I loved it. I don't know why people are hating it so much. I thought 50 Shades of Grey sucked super bad compared to this. It's about Polar Bears and I love them.

reply

you loved it.... just cause it has polar bears.... o.O
now, i got nothing against you liking something. i mean, it`s your opinion. but just cause it has polar bears in it, doesn`t automatically make it good! that`s like me saying ``Transformers 2 was awesome cause it has robots in it``

reply

I think I'd rather see 50 Shades of Gray than this.

Just because it's got polar bears doesn't mean it's good. Me, I'm a Care Bears fan, yet I hate the third movie with them in Wonderland even though it has them in it, because the thing is badly written.
