The Steam Engines of Oz

I watched all O'Reilly's animations and its like he go from better to worse, and I mean MUCH worse. Pixies was not bad looking easy pass for DTV title, than was Howard Lovecraft two movies... well... I think its like fan-made, also very obscure material so I was like ooookay. But now THIS. Its OZ for god sake! Can you even try? Why bother with Shatner and Perlman, when my eyes actually bleed from animation. And visuals concept... why Tin Man looks like gorilla? And why... WHY some lions like furries, and some - not. Do the Brave Lion have sex with humans? And yes backgrounds... like in Howard Lovecraft its just desert. I know 3D models cost money, but... its like 2018 now, not 2004. Setting was interesting, though. Idiea of stempunk in Oz is good.

Even the worst zombie movie I was forced to watch had more life in it. Brain dead and simply a waste of time. There are not enough words to express how bad this dribble is.

Watching this abomination with my daughter tonight and it made me feel so angry. I can't believe that this came out only a couple of years ago because it looked worse than toy story one, which came out more than 20 years ago. Unbelievably boring plot and terrible script and dialogue. This is not so much a movie as it is a torture device. Ron Perlman being involved is the icing on the cake, he'll clearly lend his voice for anything, this was probably the worst thing I've ever watched.

Good animation!! Ignore the post about it being bad and clumsy. It is a 3D cartoon. They aren't supposed to look like real live people. Take anime, which I personally loathe, it is an art form which, to me, is ridiculously repulsive, but how wildly popular it is. The main character's face and entire head/body is designed to look like a barbie type doll, and it is not stiffly animated at all. The characters have good body movements, facial expressions, etc. Background artistry is very good as well

With that said, there are two unfortunate things. Many of the voice overs (outside of the main 3 characters) are dull and uninspired. There should be some emotion or excitement of some kind behind many of the deliveries, but they are often deadpan

The story is a good one, but the lackluster voice overs prevent attachment and attention to the story, and there is also slow delivery of the plot. Not enough awe-inspiring side quests to keep you interested during the wait.

Not sure how the children will like it. I think it may be a little too slow for them as well but may be entertaining for awhile at least.

The Steam Engines of Oz (2018) is the final movie of my binge section before I watch Wicked: Part 1 (2024) later this month and it was horrendous.

Positives for The Steam Engines of Oz (2018): THERE ARE NONE!!!!!

Negatives for The Steam Engines of Oz (2018): The animation in this movie looks absolutely atrocious and it is among some of the worst-looking animation I've seen in either movies or television. The story is a mess and it doesn't feel like it's going anything with the characters. The voice acting is horrendous and no one is even trying at all. And finally, the movie doesn't come close to being "So bad, it's good!", it's just plain boring.

Overall, The Steam Engines of Oz (2018) is the worst of the Wizard of Oz movies that I've seen during my binge section and it is one of the worst animated movies of all time.
