“Foodfight!” was intended to be released in the early 2000s but numerous setbacks (including having all the footage stolen) led to it getting released as late as 2012. That is still no excuse for this monstrously bad animated film. It is the “Troll 2” of animated movies; I have never seen animation this ugly and a plot so nonsensical.
“Foodfight!” is about the mascots of supermarket products, who come to life when the shop closes. The evil Brand X intends to seize control of the store and destroy the other mascots so it is up to Dex Dogtective (Charlie Sheen “Wall Street”) and his friends to save the day.
I have never seen such ugly animation in a movie. All the characters look absolutely hideous and are even likely to give young children nightmares. The characters are all really boring and all their attempts at humour are terrible. I also hated the sexual nature of a lot of the dialog. Perhaps the only thing more shocking than the animation on the characters is that the voice actors include big names such as Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff (“The Lizzie McGuire Movie”) and Christopher Lloyd (“The Addams Family”). All these stars should have fired their agents after this.
“Foodfight!” features animation so stiff and random that you would swear that this is the first time the animators have ever used the software. “Toy Story” came out in 1995 and looked fantastic, “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” arrived in 2001 and looked phenomenal but then in 2012, “Foodfight!” took us back to the Stone Age. It is arguably the worst animated movie ever made (though “Eight Crazy Nights” is putting up a pretty strong fight) and it is also arguably one of the worst films ever made. The release of “Foodfight!” should not have been delayed by a mere decade, it should have been delayed indefinitely.
