For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.
IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.
Not animated, but since you’ve hit the frontpage and everyone else seems to be ignoring that…
1994’s Street Fighter. It’s terrible, but Raul Julia hams his way out of the screen for you. It’s Street Fighter: The Pantomime, and it’s glorious.
Between that, Tim Curry in The Three Musketeers, and Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, I can’t decide which of them was best at saving a mediocre cocaine fuelled movie by playing a panto villain in the midst of undeserved po-faced seriousness.
Haha yeah. I initially thought about doing something about it but by the time I noticed, there was already a decent amount of discussion happening so I left it. And then it blew up like crazy while I was asleep.
Robin hood was a massive movie in my childhood. The kid across the road had the whole set of toys, didn’t even know they were just.unsold star wars figures
