Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2.Absolutely awful!
I enjoyed that. Properly batshit stupid 🙂
Tangled I liked. Even the numbers.
'Barbie and the Great Fairy Rescue' I think it was called, although it was a good few years ago now it's still etched in as being the worst 90 minutes of my life.
I was quite surprised at how wickedly funny the Barbie Dreamhouse TV series is though 🙂
Actually that's a good shout I think Nativity 3 pips the Topcoat movie to the post.
Like watching paint dry, obviously. 😆
Frozen was awful, thankfully only had to see it once. Cars, though, is great.
Worst I saw was also the first one we took my eldest to see at the cinema: Piglet's Big Movie. Utter crap, sentimental American take on a classic, with piss-poor animation too.
Frozen was awful, thankfully only had to see it once.
Really? I think it's pretty watchable (once). But then I don't suffer from musicalphobia like some 🙂

Quite looking forward to that - the Captain Underpants books are fun and should translate pretty well to a movie.
anyone elses kids keep trying to select sausage party on now tv? 😆
End of thread.
My daughter is only 10 months old, I'm feeling a little dread about what's to come over the years now.
Barbie and the Great Fairy Rescue
There's a whole bunch of those Barbie movies, just awful. I can tolerate My Little Pony, like most of the Pixar and Disney stuff, but the Barbie movies have no redeeming features. They don't even make the kid shut up, she just runs around spouting lines from the movie.
The 'BARNEY' movie
I have nightmares about being strapped to a chair in a white room, Clockwork Orange style, forced to watch it non-stop for the rest of my godforsaken life.
Jezuz pull out my finger nails and stub cigarettes out on my eyes but not Barney.
*kids'* Ffs (apostrophe stuff). And it's "Legend of the Sasquatch" after the 300th viewing.
"Song of the Sea" is bearable though - might watch it again tomorrow for the 301st time.
Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
Worse than anything else on this list. Seriously, you lot are way fussy or you HAVEN'T SEEN THOMAS AND THE MAGIC RAILROAD!
It is without doubt the worst 90 minutes or so I have spent with my daughter.
I took my kids to the cinema while very hungover (me not them) to watch the Moshi Monsters movie. It was utter drivel. I thought I'd managed to nod off a bit but they were so concerned I was missing bits they kept waking me up.
Trolls
If you're doing a musical, get people who can sing in tune.
And a plot. Plots are good.
So are characters.
Rio2 is a good shout. Truly awful. Most times I prefer kids films nowadays - even the chipmunks. Good escapism. But the people who dreamt up rio2 should be made to walk the streets naked.
It's the only time #1 spawn has ever said to me 'this is rubbish. Can we go now?' and we went before the end.
These are the English language movies that I can remember I've been forced to watch in the last 12 months (repeatedly) with my 4 yr old son
Trolls - actually okay
Moana (Vaiana over here) - okay
Bolt - excellent
Up - excellent
Frozen - cr4p
Smurf movies - awful
Cars and Planes 1 & 2 - okay
The old Lego Batman movies and Lego Stars Wars - dire
Every Thomas Movie - beyond dire
although he prefers to watch tv shows - Octonauts and Paw Patrol are the favourites at the moment
Lego Batman every day, but I still laugh in places, same with despicable me 1-3.
I managed to be at work when Mrs S had to sit through Dragonball Z at the cinema.
We've avoided the bad ones and mostly enjoy the rest.
Worst was probably Cars 2, but then we all agreed on that one.
As others have said. I enjoyed Frozen and Moana, but after they've seen it the 50th time and sung the songs for the 1000th time it gets a little much.
Hard to say 'You're Welcome' without doing it semi-tunefully though.
Luckily Toby doesn't really have the patience to sit through a film yet.
He does like Cars though. He's most likely to sit through the Good Dinosaur.
He likes sitting with an iPad and watching Netflix and binging on Paw Patrol, Umi Zumi and Puss in Boots.
The trailer for the Emoji Movie probably rates as the worst thing I have ever seen on a screen (including some of the dodgier u-tube links I've been sent), can't wait for the film itself.

Beauty and the Beast was a decent Disney musical - Frozen was't.
I liked all of the films my kids watched endlessly as I'd always fall asleep on the sofa while watching them. Formula 1 also has exactly the same effect, it's rather a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours, eyes getting heavier and heavier and the sound just becoming a background noise and oblivion.
Yep, there's something in small children's brains that means they can see the same thing over and over and over and over again and not get bored.
As an aside, when was it that small kids gained total control of the household TV? Exclusive rights as to when its on and what is being watched right up to their bed time. I'm sure 70's children got a. less TV time, b. had to ask when it went on and c. got vetoed if grown ups wanted something else on or just got pissed off with the noise. It appears going to friends and relatives houses that adults now just bend over to their infant overlords who rule the domestic universe.

That's cos kids TV was only on for a short time. Now it's available all the time.
I have a horse obsessed 7 year old, as such I've been subjected to such wonders as "Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron" and "Albion, the Enchanted Stallion"
Thankfully she spends a lot of time outside!

That does not mean it has to be watched all the time though does it?
Why don't you go switch off your television set and go out and do something less boring instead.
Not a film but Pepper f*&^% pig, again and again and again at 48 million decibels. I am sure that is used as a form of torture in North Korea...
That does not mean it has to be watched all the time though does it?
Of course not. I'm just pointing out that holding up 70s parents as ideals of perfect parenting isn't quite fair - at least when it comes to TV.

Always thought that intro incredibly ironic.
Both Lego movies. Can't say whether I hated Batman or the original one more.
When he was younger took jr to see Curious George - we both found it extremely boring.
Always thought that intro incredibly ironic.
Indeed . I wouldn't go down well with todays ratings obsessed TV execs.
But the programme content was almost exclusively to arm young kids with ideas of things they could make or do and activities to do afterwards. A kind of toolbox for fun for long summer holiday days.
The latest Jungle Book movie I thought was pants. Frozen I've managed to avoid mostly, thank god as the 10 minutes I did catch were bad.
I like the lego movies, they are a decent watch.
Harry Potter.
Strictly I wasn't a parent at the time, but I think had been convinced it was sensible cinema viewing for a 20-something couple. Possibly by the same people who suggested to Mrs North that we try eating at Nandos.
I fell asleep and woke up only to blurt out (rather too loudly it happens) "Is it still not finished?".
Not a film, but Bing. He's such a whiny lying little prick, and Sula is such a know it all smug ****. Amma is packing a lotta junk in the trunk tho 8)
The 'BARNEY' movie
OH MY GOD THERE'S A MOVIE?!
I can't even begin to imagine.
People hate the Peanuts movie? You. Are. So. Wrong.
And people hate the Lego Movie? I loved it. But then, it resonated because I am the dad and my son is the son, albeit with a rather more lazy idea of what constitutes an awesome piece of brickwork.
You dismantled the entire Star Wars cantina to make a half-Greedo half-Yoda freak sitting on a cup? You bring this to me for my approval? Get out of this house!
I can't recall the worst I've seen, I've probably blanked it out. Though the Paddington trailer looked so bad that I refused to watch the film.
Spy kids
Curious george
Hotel for Dogs
my mrs bought a few cheap kids dvds last christmas, several particular gems were
mr christmas
the 12 dogs of christmas
The were as bad as they sound. Golden rule, anything with "christmas" in the title is going to be crap.
I can't stand Bing either. It's a career low for Mark Rylance. Thankfully monkfingerjnr also doesn't like it. Right now its Blaze, Octonauts and Be Cool Scooby Doo.
Though the Paddington trailer looked so bad that I refused to watch the film.
Predictable but it wasn't appalling - and there was some pointed sub-text for the grown ups about a time when Britain was proud to accept refugees.
Plus it had Nicole Kidman being mean to Doctor Who.

I just like Paddington for its quintessential much-ado-about-nothingness. Dragging out a spot of elevenses and a poorly-loaded washing machine for an entirely enjoyable story is a fine display of storytelling that doesn't need death threats from Hollywood villains and a label on the back saying "warning: mild peril". The Americans managed to remake Peanuts without writing in a school shooting, I can't see why Paddington couldn't have been about sitting down for buns and some amusing mishaps of English social protocol 😉
Hell in a mass-produced plastic handbasket etc etc

Its less simple than that .... it's not even TV but streaming/youtube etc. and some total and utter crap at one end vs educational at the other...
We have 3 classes of "TV" in our house and more screens than mean only one can be watched at once.
The absolute crap is usually strictly limited ([u]except[/u] when we just need to get rid of him when people are visiting etc.) S[b]o if you visited us you'd probably get a false idea. [/b]
We have family TV ... some of which is pretty boring for adults but not actively offensive.... (like the chipmunks)
and we have educational TV ... largely BBC documentaries or similar... but I let GMBN/GCN into the "educational" sometimes.. but the majority of Jnr's viewing is educational.
I guess we have a 4th class in training video's....which don't really count and really need to be limited so he doesn't burn himself out or go and do a workout right before bed...
Well it's for big kids but the 3 Musketeers (2011) was utter tosh.

Some kind of steam punk galleaons that float through the air its really confusing from every perspective
Any Transformers franchise movie : they're confusing and the teen love story sub plots add naff all.

theres a whole world of other shite, like watching people unbox toys 😕
theres a whole world of other shite, like watching people unbox toys
Yep well, I don't really get that either... but assuming it's not a dildo they are unboxing I'm happy with the 7yr old catching it... if only to learn how SAD it is....
But it's still nowhere near as bad as Chipmunks.... (I really have no fascination with a shimano or SRAM unbox.. but its just boring.... )
I guess the bigger problem with youTube/kids is actually the amount of sheer bullshit presented as fact...
I guess the bigger problem with [s]youTube/kids[/s] everything in the world is actually the amount of sheer bullshit presented as fact...
FTFY

same goes for a lot of adult tv, i mean, richard hammond for example, is not even a real hamster!
To counter the negative experiences my daughter has demanded to watch Pete's Dragon 3 times a day for the past 10 days. It's a great children's film.
