Actually, based on the trailer, this seems to be more intelligent that Teletubbies, but worse than Doogal.  This could be this year's Bucky Larson , and pile on the Razzie noms for Most Hideous Low Budget/Zero Box Office Release.
 
Speaking of zero box office, to cap off the discussion of its dismal box office "record", for some reason someone allowed this movie to play for 23 days, and it somehow managed to cough up just over $1 million.  


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Only problem w/your theory: OOGIELOVES wasn't exactly "low budget," with a production cost of about $20 million and a marketing budget of several million more. As an lifelong loather of lousy "Kiddie Movies," I do hope this gets a nod or two...

Kenn Viselman, creator of the characters, said he's happy that the movie is a flop, because it gives it notoriety. He thinks it will help with the DVD sales. Sounds like this was his plan all along. Yeah, right.

Although a lot of people watch flops out of morbid curiosity, those tend to be film fans, not parents who want their kids to be entertained busy while they rest. I think that the number of DVD sales won't be affected. If it's a home video hit, it will be a coincidence, and it will mean it would've been a hit no matter what.

I may need to edit the countdown because "The Cat in the Hat" and "Son of the Mask" are also pretty infamous children's movies.  

"The Cat in the Hat" was so inappropriate that it prompted the widow Seuss to ban live action film adaptations of Dr. Seuss's works.

In "Son of the Mask", Jamie Kennedy impregnates his wife while wearing the Mask.  As a result, the baby has the same powers as the Mask.  This was an opening for a lot of disgusting jokes.

UPDATE from Head RAZZberry: As I posted yesterday on the B.O. MoJo #s page for this film, OOGIELOVES is now rated the #1 LOWEST Wide Opening Gross of All Time (LINK) with a Per Screen Average of just $207(!) -- Meaning that, where the box office element of qualifying as a RAZZIE® Contender is concerned, this one ranks above/below GIGLI!!

I was thinking the same.
Pictures move, do they?

This really bombed at the box office this past weekend, only making 3% of its $20M budget back after five days.  In honor of its demise, here are my Top 5 Worst Children's Movies of All Time:

5. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie - Some animated characters should not be made into live action.  Case in point: these trading card characters/Cabbage Patch Kids knockoffs.  They look absolutely hideous in this movie.

4. Zoom - Cashing in on the recent successes of "The Incredibles" and "Sky High", this movie tried hard to continue the trend of superhuman kids/families.  It failed.

3. North - Infamously being named the Worst Movie of 1994 by both Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, this movie puts kids in the limelight and bashes parents to the point of ridiculousness.  Furthermore, it made less than 20% of its $40M budget back in its entire run.

2. Mac and Me - When you choose to imitate a successful film like "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial", don't expect to get good results.  This film made less than half its budget back and it was criticized for being a cheap imitation of "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial".

1. Baby Geniuses (I and II) - In the early 90s, the TV series "Rugrats" introduced us to the concept of intelligent babies getting into mischief.  These two movies blew that concept out of proportion not only by making the babies too intelligent, but also by making them do things considered ridiculously impossible for normal babies to do.  I imagine most of the DVD copies of these two movies probably ended up in bargain bins (or diaper pails).

Now it's down to below 35% at RT, and I expect it'll stay there.

Whoa man. I did not mean to offend you. I'm sorry -- I just really hate Barney's Great Adventure.

Elizabeth Hartman and Judith Barsi are much more talented and beautiful than Scarlett Johansson and Chloe Grace Moretz. Fact.

BARNEY got a 25% at R.T., while this one gets 40%: "Although it may serve as a passing diversion for very young viewers, it fails to offer much more than several brightly colored examples of the worst stereotypes of modern children's entertainment."

One more question: How does this compare, in both bad film making, and sugary wimpiness, to Barney's Great Adventure, a 1998 RAZZIE nominee?

Vheid mentioned the movie too.

Fixed. Calling that film a "classic" is WAY too much credit

I'm counting myself lucky that it took me until circa Ags. 17 through Ags. 23 (can't remember what day, only that it was about a week ago), that I saw a poster in a local mall!
