FoodFight from Threshold productions, an ‘animated’ mocap film supposedly for kids released around 2012 but had been in development hell since the late 90’s. The story behind the film’s production is way more interesting than the actual film itself.
The animation is horrendous with all the colours being saturated to the point of inducing a lovely headache. The models and assets are either stolen from a cheap stock website or modeled weridly. The only good character model was of the character called Lady X, the director loved her model so much that he made one of the poor character modellers make several poses of her so that he could moan to them.
The characters are awful, our protagonist is a depressed ‘dog’tective voiced by none other than Charlie Sheen; his love interest was voiced by a 19 year old who sounds 14 at best and is super sexualised (there’s a fricking panty shot at some point); his best friend ‘Dan’ is a squirrel made of chocolate who is supposed to be a pilot yet cannot fly, catcalls women and is an awful racist caricature of a black man; the villains are literal Nazis who act as the gestapo and use famous slogans (like a literal reference to Ein Volk, ein reich, ein fuhrer or the Nuremberg trials). The other side characters are bland and ugly as hell including the director’s self insert ‘Cheasel T Weasel’ who frankly looks like a t**d.
What is the plot you ask? Good question, I haven’t a clue what’s going on most of the time. The basic gist I got was that our characters are called ‘ikes’ short for ‘icons’ as they are supposedly brand mascots for products at this supermarket. The love interest gets kidnapped (and if you pay attention you’ll notice that she’s got one of those tattoos during her rescue scene, tattoos which millions recieved between 1939-1945) because n**i brand is superior? The plot is really vague but so much dumb s**t happens in this movie that you can’t just harp on one thing. Also for supposedly being a kid’s movie, there’s a lot of s****l, downright raunchy jokes and scenes.
I do not recommend this movie, especially because while I was watching with a friend her mom got a random medical emergency. I blame this movie for it even though her mom wasn’t even in the room. Her younger sister was in the room though and the poor girl hasn’t ever spoken to me since
