Plot
When two wolves, Kate and Humphrey (Justin Long and Hayden Pannetiere), get shipped from their homes to Idaho, they must get back home before their packs go to war.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Mediocre-looking animation. Even a deleted scene in the Blu-Ray's special features has animation that looks better than the film's final result.
 * 2) A disappointing script.
 * 3) Predictable and overused plot.
 * 4) Repeats an old, false idea about how wolf packs function that was based on how captive wolves which did not grow up together behave in zoos. Only somehow, this pack doesn't even have any beta wolves.
 * 5) Very terrible jokes, which mainly consist of sexual innuendos (infamously including what appears to be a pun based on the anatomical features of wolf penises) and urination jokes.
 * 6) Humphrey is supposed to be a good-natured prankster, but in his first interaction with Garth he comes across as spiteful and petty.
 * 7) The romance between Kate and Humphrey feels forced.
 * 8) The film's message is about love transcending rigid social roles. Unfortunately, the sequels retroactively ruin the message by showing exactly why Kate and Humphrey should never have got together.
 * 9) Hollow logs do not, in fact, make good sleds (the same thing can be also said in Arctic Dogs).
 * 10) On that topic, this movie is infamous for spawning seven sequels from 2013 to 2017.
 * 11) * And because of this, they created corgi-looking wolf pups named Claudette, Stinky, and Runt that would later become the even bad protagonists of the sequels.
 * 12) Somehow a shotgun has enough firepower to rip a wired fence apart, which makes this scene impossible and unrealistic.
 * 13) The infamous Moonlight Howl scene, though the song is nice to hear, the dance numbers the wolves do is uncomfortable to watch.

Good Qualities

 * 1) While Kate and Humphrey's romance feel forced as they spend most of their screen-time arguing, the subplot focusing on Garth and Lily is very well developed and genuinely sweet.
 * 2) Some of the characters are likable, such as Lily.
 * 3) Despite most of the jokes being terrible, some of the one-liners can be genuinely funny.
 * 4) The "Love Train" sequence, which is easily the best part of the movie, and the entire franchise.
 * 5) Good voice acting.
 * 6) The depiction of humans as actually trying to help the wolves repopulate rather than as evil eco-thugs is somewhat more nuanced than most kids' films that have anything to do with the environment.
 * 7) The soundtrack is okay.
 * 8) Compared to the later seven sequels, this is the only tolerable film of the franchise.

Trivia

 * This was Dennis Hopper's last film before he passed away of prostate cancer before the film was released and this film was dedicated to his memory.
 * It was Lionsgate's highest grossing animated feature, before 2017 when it was dethroned by My Little Pony: The Movie (2017).
 * The license plate on the camping couple's truck reads "A113". This refers to a classroom at CalArts, which they also use A113 in every Pixar movie as an "easter egg cameo".
 * Steve Moore originally intended to give the movie a slightly darker and more serious story, but Lionsgate wanted it to be aimed more towards children, leading the original script to be re-written.
 * It has it's own movie tie-in game on the Nintendo DS.

Plot
The story is about an 11-year-old boy named Luis who makes friends with three lovable little aliens, who crash their spaceship at an abandon gas station near his house. In return for Luis' help in finding the home-shopping channel stuff they came for, they also save Luis from boarding school - as well as an exciting adventure that follows.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Luis's father is extremely unlikable, as he doesn't care about his son that much. The bully is even worse as well as his family.
 * 2) Unoriginal and cliched plot that ripped of better movies like  [[mh:greatestmovies:E.T the Extra Terrestrial|E.T}} .
 * 3) Ugly low-quality animation even for 2018 standards.
 * 4) Very simples designs for the aliens and a few other characters.
 * 5) Lots of plot-holes and filler.
 * 6) Bad voice-acting and dubbing.
 * 7) While the soundtrack is decent, it just doesn't fit to the film at all.
 * 8) The idea that the aliens eat people's hair so they can transform to that person is really stupid.
 * 9) Wasted the talents of Will Forte and Lea Thompson.
 * 10) Unfunny and terrible humor like toilet humor.
 * 11) There's a pointless sub-plot that doesn't make sense.
 * 12) Luis's principal (the villian) is a rip-off of Ms Grunion from [[mh:greatestmovies:Mr. Peabody & Sherman|Mr. Peabody and Sherman}}(personality-wise) and Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmations (design-wise).
 * 13) The aliens are annoying with Minion-like comic reliefs.
 * 14) The movie has a mean spirited tone (similar to Chicken Little) as the people make fun of Luis's father at the beginning as they don't believe him that the aliens exist, as well as the bullies making fun of Luis at one scene where they take a cake that he made for him and throw him into a garbage can.
 * 15) The aliens are kinda like rip-offs of Ed, Edd and Eddy, As they have very similar personalities. One of them even sounds like Pleakely from  [[mh:greatestmovies:Lilo & Stitch|Lilo and Stitch}} .

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack, although unfitting, is decent.
 * 2) Luis and Jennifer are the only two likable characters.
 * 3) Decent characters designs for Luis, Luis's father, Jennifer and the main aliens.
 * 4) At least when Luis and his dad proved to everybody that aliens exist at the end of the movie, the townspeople apologised for their mean spiritedness.

Reception
The movie recivied mixed-to-negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a 24 precent and on metacritic it has a 46/100, indicating mixed or average reviews, but was a box office succes.

Plot
On the planet Baab, dashing astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero and master of daring rescues. However, Scorch does not work alone; his nerdy brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA, often lends quiet, behind-the-scenes support. When a distress signal arrives from a dangerous planet, Scorch ignores Gary's warnings and sets out on a rescue mission. Scorch soon finds himself caught in a trap set by an evil enemy, and it's up to Gary to save him.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Generic and unoriginal story, with the premise mostly being a ripoff of Planet 51.
 * 2) Shanker is completely weak as a villain and it makes Lena look like the actual villain. He is also basically a humanized version of Grawl from Planet 51.
 * 3) Several plot holes and inconsistencies: particularly, when Gary first meets the two humans they don't seem to understand him, but when they try to find Scorch's ship and meet them, they are suddenly able to talk to them. Also, when they return to their home planet Baab, Lena is absent for some reason.
 * 4) Weak humor, with plenty of it being obnoxious fart jokes.
 * 5) The script of the film has gone through several re-writes in production, and it shows.
 * 6) Blatant product placement: particularly, there is a scene at 7-Eleven; another example is in a scene where it is mentioned that Shanker has made deals with companies such as Apple Inc., Google, and Pixar.
 * 7) Several sequences seem to serve no reason to be in the film at all, and thus come across as filler. Examples include:
 * 8) * The romance storyline between Shanker and Lena.
 * 9) * A couch gag scene where the prison aliens cause a food fight around the cafeteria.
 * 10) * The ending marriage between Scorch and Gabby.
 * 11) The action scenes are so lame to the point where even the action scenes from Planet 51 are better.
 * 12) Scorch is an annoying and unlikable jerk who does not even care about his own brother.
 * 13) Mediocre character designs, with several of them being unoriginal:
 * 14) * The alien designs are basically both the aliens from Planet 51 and the titular protagonist from Megamind if they were mashed together.
 * 15) * The guys in the hazmat suits very much resemble the CDA agents from  [[mh:greatestmovies:Monsters, Inc.}} .
 * 16) * Most of the designs for the humans, aside from Shanker, are uncanny.
 * 17) The imprisoned aliens are rather pointless, as they barely do anything in the whole entire movie.
 * 18) The concept of aliens inventing various technology for Shanker to rip off and sell to humans is an insult to mankind.
 * 19) Overuse of unnecessary cartoon sound effects that feel out-of-place.
 * 20) Laughable dialogue, particularly the overused catchphrase "Scorch Me Baby".
 * 21) Unecessary pop-culture references; particularly how, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and  [[mh:greatestmovies:E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial}}  are referenced.
 * 22) False advertising: The city (which appears in the theatrical poster and the cover of the DVD release) that the characters are in never appears in the movie.
 * 23) Pointless cameo of Simon Cowell.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Decent animation.
 * 2) Decent voice acting.
 * 3) Great soundtrack, composed by Arion Zigman.
 * 4) * In particular, "Shooting Star" by Owl City is actually pretty good.
 * 5) One of the aliens is a nice nod to classic space aliens.
 * 6) Some moments here and there are funny.

Reception
The film recived mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. This film currently holds a 35% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 43 reviews with an average of 4.62/10, but lacks a consensus.

Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas

Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas is a 2017 Spanish 3D computer-animated adventure comedy film directed by Enrique Gato. The film is a sequel to Tad, the Lost Explorer.

Plot
Awkward explorer Tad Jones must rescue his beloved Sara from millionaire Jack Rackham, who is searching for the necklace of King Midas.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This film retained the gross out humour from the first film (Tad, the Lost Explorer) from drinking toilet water to burping to Tad shaking his butt which is seen from the fountain scene and again at the end of the film.
 * 2) Some characters from the first film had been removed and replaced.
 * 3) The ending is another one of those cliched party ending scenes.
 * 4) Just like the first film, the title is misleading as Tad was actually not lost since he was with his friends during the whole king Midas expedition.
 * 5) Despite Todo Es Posible being good, it was never translated into English nor were there subtitles for the song in the English dub which is a shame because it's such a good song.
 * 6) The film can be a bit depressing because of the Mummy, who was banished from Pahititi for being merciful with Tad and his friends. What's worse is that despite retrieving a treasure which should guarantee his fellow mummies to accept him back, the credits sequence depict him as being thrown into a dungeon for returning, so his whole arc ultimately amounted to nothing.
 * 7) The pop culture references like Scarlett Johansson are unnecessary.
 * 8) Bland voice acting.
 * 9) Unimpressive jokes.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The animation had improved from the first film and it's better than ever.
 * 2) The ending credits have art which is nice to see.
 * 3) The soundtrack seems nice especially that one song in the scene where we see Sara alone trying to find the last piece of King Midas's necklace (Todo Es Posible).
 * 4) Freddy's absence is justified here, because he lives in Perú and the story doesn't take place there.

Reception
The film was a success at the Spanish countries and actually had its own fan base but however, for some, the film wasn’t good, even some people that liked the first film had noticed the disappearance of the characters and posted about it in YouTube, overall, it was positive to negative.

Trivia

 * Some scenes of this film take place at actual locations.
 * Rackham and Sara's Spanish voice actors are father and daughter.

Plot
For the Tibetan mastiffs on Snow Mountain, a dog's life has a simple riff -- guard a peaceful village of sheep from the thuggish wolf Linnux and his rabid pack. To avoid distractions, mastiff leader Khampa forbids all music. However, when his son Bodi discovers a radio that fell from the sky, it takes just a few guitar licks for the lad's fate to be sealed. Wanting to be a rock 'n' roll star, Bodi heads to the city to locate Angus Scattergood, a legendary musician who needs to write a new song.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The plot is confusing and difficult to track.
 * 2) The characters are unflattering.
 * 3) Despite being rated as PG, there are still some times that are not suitable for its target audience.
 * 4) There are a lot of animation errors.
 * 5) Bad editing that lacks any transition between scenes.
 * 6) Much like Alvin and the Chipmunks, Bodi sang a cover of a popular song from the 2010s, which looks like a remake, rather than an original song in the movie.
 * 7) False advertising: On the American poster of the movie, Angus has no ears (although this may be a mistake). Some cars are chasing Bodi and Angus, but they are not seen in the movie.
 * 8) Insufficient mastery of original information.
 * 9) The dialogue is ridiculous.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Decent animation, despite all the errors.
 * 2) * This can also be given the fact that most of the animation was provided by Reel FX Creative Studios, the company that animated Free Birds, The Book of Life, UglyDolls, and SCOOB!.
 * 3) Amazing soundtrack by Rolfe Kent.
 * 4) Fun moments everywhere.
 * 5) The sound is very good.
 * 6) The ending is pretty good.
