Announcement: 'Foodfight!' is a direct-to-DVD release

Animation Scoop’s Greg Ehrbar reports that Foodfight!, the coming-soon CGI theatrical feature announced ever since 2004, has finally come out – as a direct-to-DVD release, on May 7.

This is definitely one for Crossaffliction’s proposed MST3K for bad anthropomorphic movies. Ehrbar reviews Foodfight! as, “It is truly one of the worst animated films ever made.” That is evident from the 1’44” trailer alone, which is included in the AS review.

Foodfight! is described as the supermarket equivalent of Toy Story. Charlie Sheen voices the hero, Dax, who looks like a cross between Indiana Jones as a bloodhound and McGruff the trenchcoated “take a bite out of crime” mascot; and Hilary Duff is a catgirl. The movie features fictional brand mascots leading a supporting cast of licensed genuine mascots like Charlie the Tuna, the California Raisins, Cap'n Crunch, and the Energizer Bunny. The CGI animation is so horrible that it hardly needs more to be judged as one of the worst animated features ever made. But it is undoubtedly filled with badly-rendered anthropomorphic food and kitchen product mascots brought to life.

Watch the trailer and you will learn all that you want to about Foodfight!.
