Trash, but not THE worst
c-3319814 May 2016
I consider this one of the worst shows out there, but NOT among the ABSOLUTE bottom. That being said, this review will be speedy. , Before anyone says "OOH it was made in 1950" Fantasia was made in 1940. No excuses can be made about it's.... smushed beetles animation. There are virtually no sound effects to speak of, so you'll just be bored throughout.

The voice was done by one guy. As expected, it sound more like a crazy guy talking to himself than dialouge. And finally, the lip-sync hing does not match the animation. AT ALL. Was he even trying?

Then again, this was obviously made on a 50 cent budget, so I'll give credit to that. Bad, but not the absolute worst.

Either don't waste your time or totally waste your time

Warning: Spoilers
This show does everything terribly.The voice acting is hilariously horrible.It is so obvious that one person was voicing all of the characters.If the voices are not enough,the lip syncing is just the same two or three slides over and over again.It looks like the voice actor was coming up with words,while he was recording.Plus,there was almost no animation at all or sound effects,it was all in black and white,and a lot of the animation wasn't good.Also,the opening credits to every episode starts with crazy laughing that everyone knows is not real and wouldn't ever sound real at all.And that's not the only thing that sounded fake.A lot of the screaming and complaining sounded fake,too.Don't waste your time or totally waste your time,because it can be so bad that it's good.It also passed the test that it can annoy everyone.This is why this show is really bad.

I have found the worst cartoon of all time!!!!

Warning: Spoilers
I actually have. This show has a low budget, like maybe 50 cents. The animation is very poor, it does not look like an animation it really looks like a pencil test. And all the animation is reused, like the frames are repeated in a loop, Ex: A fox has a boot that he squashes on the ground and its frames are repeated several times. The animation is not the only thing that makes this show awful its almost everything. The lighting is so bad. Like a frame gets too dark or too bright at times. It changes from Dark to Bright constantly. Also the lipsyncing is terrible. It doesn't even attempt to match what the characters are saying, speaking of characters, while the characters are decently designed, they look like they were stolen from a Disney Movie. On top of Disney, PhantomStrider said that Fantasia came out in 1940, ten years before this abomination did, and it had much better animation. I agree. The voice acting is atrocious. All of the voices are done by one guy!! ONE GUY I TELL YA!! ONE GUY!! HE ALSO DID EVERYTHING ELSE TOO!! HE DID THIS ENTIRE SERIES ALL BY HIMSELF WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE!! NOT ANYONE ELSE!! JUST HIM!! (Sigh) This is the lowest rated show possibly of all time... 9% of the users on Google liked it, meaning that like 91% of the people hated it, so... yeah... here on IMDB, it has a rating of 1.5 meaning it only got one star. Yup. One star. Thank god this show only had like what, two episodes?? Overall I give this show a 1/10 for the terrible pencil test-style animation, the voice acting which was only done by one guy, the lipsyncing which is very off, and the lighting. Paddy The Pelican is a very bad cartoon, I recommend you avoid this show like the plague.

I honestly really can't see anything good about this cartoon.
BustedBlock10 March 2021
This cartoon is garbage for so many reasons. The animation is obviously awful and the lack of color makes everything look dead and boring, the character's voices are annoying, the dialog makes no sense, and the pacing is not good at all. I just couldn't find anything enjoyable while watching this.

Terrible acting and animation for 1950 cartoon show. No wonder this show only has 1.5/10 on IMDb

Weak plots and terrible animation and voice acting are involved in this little stinker of a show.

Literally the lowest rated TV show of all time!
jamesgrove-7357015 December 2019
This is the worst TV show I and many others have seen. The acting is the worst I have heard in my entire life and is quite obviously done by one person. And I think this show in general is done by only one person. Now, the animation. To be fair, I've seen worse animation than this, like 'Foodfight!' for example. While I know this was done in 1950, the animation looks very cheap, repetitive and unfinished. Plus the lighting is atrocious. Sometimes you can barely see the characters it's so dark, and sometimes it's so bright it can hurt to watch it. The lip syncing doesn't match up AT ALL. The characters are annoying, unlikable and unmemorable. The plots are confusing and all over the place. There are only six episodes in this show and the plots in all of them are hard to follow, if you can even call them plots.

In conclusion don't watch any episode in this show, they're all incredibly bad. No wonder only 12% of Google users liked this TV show. And it only has 1.5/10 on IMDb.

Eh.

I Give Credit To Sam Singer, This Guy Did This On A 20 cent Budget. And He Probably Blew That Budget Paying A Hobo To Sit Through The Premiere.

Bad but...
poolecharlie-4905528 February 2020
This cartoon is abysmal in every way but there is an excuse though as to why it sucked the main reason was that it was created on 50 cent budget and it was in fact made by one guy which is Sam Singer himself don't get me wrong this show sucks but I do give it some credit.

This Cartoon Is A Worst
Look At The Animation (Although The Art Style Are Pretty Decent) Is So Freaking Unfinished, It Literally Pencil Test Instead Of Colour The Background And Character, Even 1920s Cartoon And Anime Have Better Animation Than This Piece Of Poop As It's Easily Fit Into Late 1900s And 1910s Cartoon And Anime, The Character Are Basically Disney Style Ripoff, For Some Reason, The Only Voice Actor In This Cartoon Is Creator Himself Sam Singer Or Unknown People Presumably His Relative/Friend/Brother, I'm Having Fun Watching, Damn... I Feel Bad For Sam Singer Untill He Made Decent Cartoon, Like, This Is Cartoon Before Cartoon With Negative Reception Like Problem Solvers, Coconut Fred Fruit Salad Island, The Brother Grunts And ETC.

The worst show from 1950 and my 5th least favorite show next to Secret Mountain Fort Awesome and Ren And Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, this is a rip-off to Mickey Mouse which is way better than this show.
