10 Recent TV Shows With The Worst CGI Moments
6. The Dragons - Once Upon A Time
ABC Family's fantasy opus' unique concept and subversion of fairy tales made it a ratings and critical success during its first season It also helped that the cast's performances and optimistic tone made it a breezy and joyous watch for audiences.
However, it was not without its flaws and struggled to reach its first season's critical heights up until the end. Chief among them was its less than stellar CGI, which was expected due to its network origins.
That said, the show's depiction of dragons was downright awful and detracted from the overall story. Their designs and various types were interesting but did not make up for their underwhelming digital renders.
Some fans have argued that the dragons' cheesy appearance and the show's CGI, in general, may have been an intentional choice as the show never took itself too seriously during its run. If this is the case, then the execution left a lot to be desired, even if the idea was to evoke the whimsical feel of fairy tales.
