Animal Soccer World

This "game", this damn "game"... It needs to be seen to be believed! It is simply amazing! Trying to list everything that is wrong with this thing would take too long so I'm not even going to bother going into detail with this. Besides no words can do this thing real justice. As I said it needs to be seen to be believed! So go watch it! But be prepared for the fact it's not really a game (it's not even an animated film if I'm being entirely honest) and I'm not sure what to call it but it's definitely not an actual game.

If it was a real game I probably wouldn't have even bothered with it as I'm not into games but since I knew that it was going to be closer to an animated film I decided to check it out as I love all of the so-bad-they're-actually-good films like The Room, Birdemic and all of these Dingo Pictures/Phoenix Games products that are marketed as "games" but barely qualify as "animated films" even.

However this thing takes the cake on all of these so-bad-they're- good films (at least when it comes to animated films) for me personally since it's so ineptly put together. First of all it has probably only one guy doing all the voices (without a script and improvising all the lines!) and the sound editing is all over the place with lines not even matching characters' mouth movements and sometimes there are lines uttered when there is no character on screen at all! And other times there are characters clearly speaking but nothing is actually being said. On top of that the backgrounds are completely static and sometimes only parts that are animated at all are the characters' heads/mouth while the rest of their bodies are part of the background drawings.

And if that isn't enough for you then there's also the fact that the lines, the story and the setting make absolutely no sense at all! Even when you compare this thing to other stuff made by Dingo Pictures it's just awful! And it's hard to believe that something like this was made in 2005!

So in summation, animation sucks, dubbing sucks, writing sucks, character designs suck and none of it makes much sense. I give this flick 10/10! Simply for being damn enjoyable!

So if you're like me and enjoy awful movies that are so bad that they make you laugh at how bad they are then you need to see this one. You don't even have to look far as it's available online so don't worry about having to hunt down the actual PS2 disc that this film was released on. And even if you could get your hands on a physical copy, no matter how cheaply, DO NOT waste your money on this piece of garbage! People who made this film deserve nothing for this lazily put together "game". So definitely check this one out online, it'll be worth it to see one of the absolutely laziest "animated films" ever made!

I'll end this review here so that you can go watch this asap. Have fun!

Everything, from the plot actually leading up to something, to there being an actual hook, to the characters NOT screaming like sloppily castrated hyenas, is comparable favourably to the abhorrent 'pukebox musical' known as 'Mamma Mia'. Ambulance Duck is easily one of the best characters in fiction, and the film is a worthy follow-up to Dalmatians 3.

Sure, it might only be 30 minutes long, but would you rather a 30 minute, slightly boring yet easily followable and 'so bad it's good' movie, or a 108 minute slog of screaming banshees, a plot that amounts to nothing, confusing visuals for 80% of the movie that make following said 'plot' a PIPE DREAM, and unfitting music and revolting dance choreographies.

That's what I thought.

Dingo Pictures is like its computer animation counterpart Video Brinquedo, that all of their output is inept, derivative rubbish that is an insult to animation.

'Animal Soccer World' for anybody familiar with Dingo Pictures is somewhat notorious, and it is easy to see why. Not just one of their worst, but an all-time low.

As aforementioned in my previous Dingo Pictures reviews, it is hard to know where to start when there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and even for a studio with next to nothing worthwhile 'Animal Soccer World' is one of their worst. The animation is appalling, even for low-budget animation, the flat colours, very simplistic backgrounds and lack of detail and derivative, recycled and creepy character animation, and characters randomly falling into random and silent laughter for no reason at all. As well as a style, a very cheap mix between MS Paint and water colour paintings, that makes art of primary school children who draw and paint in half an hour or less seem more accomplished.

The inappropriately jaunty and heavily dissonant music always sounds misplaced and never fitting with what's going on, not to mention that it very rarely stops, actually sounding like it was composed and recorded on loop. The script is incredibly repetitive, awkward-sounding (none of it flows naturally) and juvenile that it will insult any adult is bad enough but even young children will feel dumber after hearing some of the dialogue here. The story, taking inspiration from numerous Disney films and blatantly ripping them off, feels stretched and narratively thin as paper, with incredibly plodding pacing, and is very disjointed and goes nowhere a lot of the time. The sequences with the soccer have nothing on the sheer fun and intensity of the one soccer match in Disney's 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'.

Characters are excruciatingly irritating, not a likable or interesting character among them, while the sound effects are bizarre and randomly placed and the voice acting is amateurish and cheap even by low-budget animation standards, often being annoying, poorly recorded, creepy-sounding and incomprehensible and even ill-fitting.

In conclusion, an all time low in Dingo Pictures' very dubious output. 1/10. Bethany Cox

I'm having problems wrapping my head around animal soccer world. I mean, you could just ask for drug money the old fashioned way via telephone or panhandling on the streets, but why not make desperate art out of it? It's a new one, I'll give em that, and it's actually a pretty creative way to heckle people, so that's well, something. I give the dingo pictures team props for convincing themselves that they're functioning addicts but their works will sure as damn hell prove otherwise. I at least hope they paid that poor Spanish immigrant who voiced all of their bastardized characters, or at least bought him dinner or something. He did not deserve any of this & I refuse to demonize him. Hes probably an OK person. I wouldn't know. I don't know him personally. What I do know is that he's a tremendously shitty actor, so if he thought dingo pictures was some sort of a gateway to a Hollywood breakthrough, then, boy, was he in for one hell of a surprise. As a matter of fact, I actually pity this fellow, largely because I have a sneaking suspicion that he may have been randomly kidnapped by the producers from a local Walmart & forced at gun point to provide the voices for the entire cast of sloppily traced animals. This poor fellow is the reason I gave this movie a measly one star, even though I shouldn't have given it anything, but I reckon he's in a state of unfathomable, eternal embarrassment.

As for the plot of the movie, it just makes no frigging sense. Poorly animated Animals play soccer. And that's what they do. Play soccer & talk about random, half butted nonsense. The only way this horse crap would even be considered remotely acceptable is if a toddler made it. However, seeing that two grown, fully developed adults are actually behind this instead of a small child, I can automatically deduce that they are either inept or crooked or both.

Out of every Dingo Pictures film, this one is not half bad... sure, there are many, many ways this film could be better, but for the most part, if you where kidnapped, strapped down to a chair, and forced to watch any dingo pictures film, i would suggest you choose this one.

One big standout from Animal Soccer World compared to other Dingo Pictures films is that it has a very easy-to-understand plot, and i think thats because the plot is so simple, yet not extremley boring. Sure, some moments of the film can be quite a pain to sit through, i found myself not immediatley falling asleep when watching this. And the ending not only left me almost excited, wanting more, but it also left on an extreme plot twist.

Lastly, the English dubbing isnt too bad on this one, and the lip syncing, which may be a little off, isnt as terrible or noticeable compared to older films.

So yes, if you really had to watch a film just THAT bad, this one is the one i would highly suggest.
