Review: The Little Panda Fighter

 I've decided to do animated movie reviews when I saw this... Thing.

Before we get into this review, let's start with the cover: It is a shameless ripoff of the Kung Fu Panda series, which I consider to do have actual worth. This panda, unlike the lovable Po from that movie, we have a creepy panda that stares into your soul. 

BOW DOWN TO THE PANCADA! HE IS THE DEMON LORD!

Company: The infamous Video Brinquedo, a company well known for making rip-offs of other, well respected animated movies such as Tiny Robots and the Frog Prince. This is by far their most infamous one, and for good reason.

LOOK AT THIS.

Directors/animators:

Michelle Gabriel is the director. I wonder how she lives with herself, to be honest. Ale Mchaddo wrote the script. Paulo Biagoni, Renate Fujio, and the lovely Authro Hermandas is responsible for the animation. Notice how there is only three people. 

Voice acting:

Since this is a Brazilian film, I will judge less on the voice acting for this... THING. The translation from Brazilian-to-English is pretty rocky, for sometimes the characters will start talking super fast for no reason. It gets strange, and often what there saying doesn't match the mouth animation.

Summary:

A panda who works at a Chinese-themed boxing match place is forced to try to be a hero after a mix up with a polar bear who tries to fight another bear in a match is disguised as him. 

For a company who is really cheap, this whole thing has a weirdly contrived and complicated plot. It's terrible, of course, but there's a lot of strange complications that build up to nothing.

Animation:

DID YOU EVEN TRY?

This is some of the worst animation I have ever seen. Sometimes, the head will sink into the neck. It is clunky and the movement of the characters is more like drunk people walking then people walking. Or anthropomorphic bears, I guess. Sometimes, they will reuse the same clips of animation, like the training montage in the third act. 

This is some of the worst animation I have ever seen. This is coming from a person who was watching a ton of cartoons in the 2000's, when flash was animated and tons of lazy animators thrived like the people who made Johnny Test.

Pros:

+It is absolutely hilarious. This is another case of so-bad-its hilarious. The whole thing is up on Youtube to watch for free. Though that is copyright infringement,(which is something I don't applaud) I don't think Video Brinquedo is going to bring it down anytime soon. 

Can you claim copyright on a rip-off?

Cons:

-Rip-off of another great film.

-Horrid animation.

-Strange storytelling with tons of elements that make no sense.

-Copyright infringement on The Care Bears(I forgot to mention this, but there was a Care Bear in the movie. There was no parody, just a straight up Care Bear.)

-One dimensional characters.(Well, that's a bit of stretch.)

-Everything else.

Spud rating:

Five out of a hundred spuds. 

No one would like this.
