10 Worst Animated Movies Of The 2010s

Let's be honest: no film throughout the 2010s, animated or otherwise, was as much of an unmitigated disaster as 2012's Foodfight.

Originally set to be released in 2003, the story behind the production of this animated film is much more fascinating than the feature itself. In December 2002, after trailers were released, the original hard-drives were stolen so all the work had to begin again, pushing the film to the next decade following multiple delays (basically the last generation's New Mutants).

Couple this with a director who had never worked with animated features before, switching from traditional computer animation to motion capture, and a rapidly inflating budget of $65 million you get a poorly rendered feature with a bad script and material totally unsuitable for its target audience.

Set in a supermarket where all the mascots come to life after closing, the film follows Dex Dogtective as he tries to solve the mystery of the disappearance of his girlfriend (who is a cat), while also trying to thwart the evil Brand X from taking over the supermarket with their terrible food.

The troubled production is on full display in the finished product, with the motion capture not looking at all impressive, the voice acting being sub-par at best - particularly from the lead Charlie Sheen - and character models being some of the ugliest things you might have ever seen in a film intended for children. Worst looking is almost certainly Christopher Lloyd's Brand X representative.

If you look online you can still find a trailer for the film when it was meant to be released in 2003. It doesn't look... good, but it certainly looks better than what we ended up with. And unless Frozen 2 bombs spectacularly, Foodfight will remain the undisputed king of terrible 2010s animated films.
