10 Worst Animated Movies Of The 2010s

10. Playmobil: The Movie (2019)

What made the LEGO Movie such a great movie (to the point that people were up in arms that it wasn’t even nominated for Best Animated feature) was the fact the directors were focused on crafting a funny, emotional feature above all else, with a great message of everyone is special and is capable of whatever they put their mind to. And what’s more, the word “LEGO” isn’t used once.

Playmobil takes the approach of “if we make a movie out of it, people will buy our inferior products”. Therefore, we got a lazy film attempting to capitalize on the former’s success, not even been slightly subtle with its product placement’s literally being set in a Playmobil museum exhibit.

Another thing going against the film is the lack of any of the actual toys featured looking nothing like the product they’re based on, and some toys simply looking like animated character with the odd break in the limbs to look like a Playmobil figure. There’s little to no consistency in the world, as well as some jarring voice-acting, especially from Daniel Radcliffe who’s supposed to be this suave spy but you just hear the guy who played Harry Potter attempting to be cool. And failing.
