New Animated Film Voted Worst of All Time

Even before it was released, there was already rumbling, or rather grumbling, about the remake film "A Kis Vuk," aka "The Little Vuk," the animated film based on the story of a little fox by István Fekete. Now, after its premiere, it's been voted the worst animated film of all time, according to Bors. One of the first bad omens was when Attila Dargay, the director of the original film, declined to allow the producers of the new one to use the likenesses of his animated characters, citing a dislike for the direction of the remake. Since it's been released a little over a week ago, less than 12,000 folks have bothered to go and see it, and the critics who have, have been nearly unanimous in declaring its suckiness.

Having only seen the original Vuk aka "The Little Fox," I can't comment on the new one, but most of the resistance seems to come either from the lackluster 3-D animation, or from trying to make the new version "fresh and contemporary," which includes the rhymes of none other than Ganxsta Zolee. While the producers for the new version have talked about how good it is, the media, and especially the folks over at Index.hu have been far from gushing in their reviews.

Apparently, at the end of the film, the on-screen narrator tells the children in the audience that evil is no longer allowed in the forest. Reviewing the film for Index.hu, Kati Gőzsy observed that of course there's no evil in the forest, as it's already busy working on the sequel.

Our recommendation? Pretend this movie release didn't happen and watch the original, or get a copy of the original in English somewhere which is not only good, but also used to be shown on American children's cable channel Nickelodeon, so you know it's been actually dubbed.
