Least Favorite Movies of 1991





4. Child’s Play 3
D: Jack Bender
**********
Not as memorably violent as the previous installments.  In fact, the only good part I remember is Chucky’s getting half his face cut off near the end.





 

3. Hook
D: Steven Spielberg
**********
I guess most people like this for nostalgic reasons, but this had the animated classic to compete with for my affections as a kid.




 




2. The Christmas Tree
D: Flamarion Ferreira
**********
The popular comparison that this is animation’s answer to The Room is quite apt.  An unremarkable premise made hilariously bad by inhumanly bad execution.  Terrible writing, voice acting and animation.  You can watch it, if you dare.






1. Rock-a-Doodle
D: Don Bluth
**********
Definitely Don Bluth’s worst movie.  It somehow combines the insanity of a stubborn artist with the oblivious hackishness of executive meddling.  The latter is particularly evident with the use of a small child as a protagonist and the fact that the movie is constantly hyperactive and never gives the viewer a break.  It’s frustrating to see a movie this awful coming from a formerly great animator.
