Aladin

This movie is awful the animation is just Aladdin's animation if it looked worse than cartoons from almost 100 years ago characters are just Aladdin but 1 million times worse voices are laughably bad they probably decided how about we let our kids voice instead of actual actors I'm happy I watched a bit of it for free on youtube because it isn't worth even a penny/cent I think this is worth a 0/10 but I have to give it a 1/10 if you want a million times worse aladdin this is for you and it's probably not good at distracting children if you wanted that you could get minions or minions the rise of gru overall don't watch ever.

Why? Why does this movie exist? It is the worst movie I have ever seen... the animation is super lazy. It's like the animators doesn't know how to animate and just didn't care. The voices are the worst, there are only like two voice actors and they just talk back to each other. The music is painful. It's just a 10 second loop and it never stops playing. I rather watch The Emoji Movie than this awful piece of horse crap

This truly was the movie that started off Dingo's ongoing mockbuster spree. Let me just get all of the major problems with this "film" out of the way, before explaining why I gave it such a high rating compared to the rest.

First Off, if it's not already clear to anyone who's reading this review, the animation is bad. INCREDIBLY bad. It's really sloppy and the lip-sync is barely visible. There are also a BUNCH of animation errors.in it.

Also, the story is VERY basic, the dialogue feels cliche and unnatural, and all of the characters either come across as rude, creepy or just plain boring.

But truly the thing that's worth noting is the voice acting, which I would honestly consider the highest point.. in the original German version that is. In the english dub, it's the lowest point. Just watch it and you'll see what I mean.

With all these points out of the way, I can finally explain why this movie is NOT the worst thing I've ever seen. First off, the music is honestly somewhat decent, even though it's incorporated into the film very poorly. There are also some certain scenes it it that were so bad that they were kinda funny.

Now is this movie one that I'd reccomend? I mean, if you like bad movies, HECK YEAH! But, if you like brain cells, HECK NO!

This movie is exactly similar to the original version.

It is easy to see why the animations of Dingo Pictures are relatively obscure, though those who have had the misfortune of seeing any of their output (which along with their equally low-budget computer animated counterpart Video Brinquedo have not once made anything worthwhile) cannot forget their awfulness. It is even easier to see why they are universally reviled.

Whether 'Aladin' is one of Dingo Pictures' worst is debatable, the list of contenders for that title is very long. It is however one of the strongest examples for the studio of target audience being called into serious question and it is one of their most inappropriately creepy. That it's unoriginal is the least of 'Aladin's' problems, those two above problems and its cheapness and laziness are far less easy to forgive. As was said before, it is hard to know where to start when there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Even for a studio with next to nothing worthwhile, their shortest efforts that see marginally more effort are their least bad but still have lots of problems, 'Aladin' is just an abomination, an almost unheard of word for me to use these days but this deserves it. Comparisons to the Disney film, although they are nothing alike pretty much, is inevitable and there is no question which is better, seeing as Disney's is actually good (masterpiece even). There are elements of the Arabian Nights tale in 'Aladin' but it is told so dully and with nothing to be enchanted or entertained by, found it an assault to the senses to be honest.

The animation is some of the worst there is, so awful it's unacceptable even for low-budget animation. It has flat colours, very simplistic backgrounds and lack of detail and derivative, shoddy, unfinished recycled and creepy character animation as well as a style that makes art of primary school children who draw and paint in half an hour or less seem more accomplished. There is a jerky almost surrealistic moment towards the start (about 9 minutes in), that just looks hideous and anybody with a neurological condition should beware.

Music always sounds misplaced, is more suited to a haunted house attraction and never fitting with what's going on, not to mention that it has little breathing space even in scenes that are in dire need for it. The opening music is actually the least bad asset of 'Aladin' but somehow didn't seem like it belonged, more like opening music for a video game. The script is incredibly repetitive and juvenile, some of it making one question who the target audience was meant to be, that it will insult any adult is bad enough but even young children will feel dumber after hearing some of the dialogue here.

The story feels incredibly stretched, 'Aladin' is Dingo Pictures' longest and it easily could have been shorter by nearly half if it just got to the point, had no irrelevant scenes and kept the pace tight, all three of which 'Aladin' fails abysmally at. It also has incredibly plodding pacing where one feels every second of its length (actually it feels twice as long), is very disjointed, goes nowhere a lot of the time and some of it is so aimless and jumpy it's incomprehensible, usually have no trouble following storytelling but had real trouble making sense of the story here. Plus there is absolutely no magic or entertainment value. Target audience is also a big problem, with 'Aladin' containing some wildly out of place creepiness and being too silly for adults.

Characters are excruciatingly irritating and a few irrelevant to the story. Not a likable or interesting character among them, most of them being nerve-gratingly annoying or enough to give one nightmares, that's including the genie.

Meanwhile, the sound effects are bizarre and randomly placed and the voice acting throughout is ill-fitting, constantly depressed-sounding and just grates on the nerves. German is a beautiful language, having sung in it many times, the voice acting in German has no poetry or engagement and gives an unintentional creepiness.

Overall, a mess. 1/10 (one of the most deserving recipients of this very rarely given out rating these days for me) Bethany Cox
