It involves Walt the pig, who is invited to be an actor in Viperwood. Along the way, he must learn many lessons, like: Don't turn on the TV, or else it will try to kill you. Or: Don't lie about aliens taking your mothers pie.
There are many WTF moments. Like when Walt turns on the TV, and then all the sudden, it comes to life and attempts to eat him! Where did this come from, and what since does it make? None. And apparently, Viperwood is supposed to Hollywood. But they never tell you that!
The voices are awful. Walton, who is supposed to be 11, sounds like a 45-year-old woman. And you can also hear the actors breathing on the microphones. And that German wasp? He never shuts up!
This movie makes Delgo or Doogal look like Toy Story 3 or How To Train Your Dragon. And the overall lesson is: Don't Lie. But this lesson is SO poorly executed and stated, it hurts.
This is probably, along with DALMATIANS 3, the worst animated mockbuster ever made. It's made by Spark Plug entertainment, another company well known for making horrid animated knock-offs. These movies have no redeeming qualities at all: they are badly animated, badly dubbed, garishly colored and a chore to finish.
As I said in the summary, this garbage was made for capitalize on the success of the live action version of CHARLOTTE'S WEB. While that is a cute, tear-jerking and well made movie, this movie is a totally unwatchable, grating and incompetently (and cluelessly) made disaster of a movie. And if you think that this movie's plot is identical to CHARLOTTE'S WEB, you are totally wrong. Yes, not only they made a disaster of a rip-off, but it's clear that they didn't even tried to make it similar to the original.
The plot focuses on a pig that ends up following a snake that, much like the cat and the fox in PINOCCHIO, does everything possible in order to ruin the pig and letting him do lots of dumb things.
The CGI is probably the worst that I have ever seen (even worse than FOODFIGHT) and it looks like it was made at least two decades earlier than 2006 (before the rise of studios like Pixar and Dreamworks). Often lips are not synchronised and the characters' design is ugly to look at. The soundtrack is grating, and the characters (especially the lead) are so annoying that you want to run over them with a car rather than watching them, they are so untolerable, badly animated and written!
Overall, I strongly recommend to avoid this movie like poison. Even fans of the schlock would feel at the end of the watch very angry and frustratred. And don't say I didn't warned you!
