Reaction & Review | The Oogieloves In The BIG Balloon Adventure

[@BalloonSage]

Just discovered your videos. I know you’re dead, but thank you for all the great entertainment I am already enjoying and will continue to.

[@ltmmoviereviewsharrison3462]

RIP Emer Prevost. You are a legend and we love you.

RIP Emer, was always and always will be entertained by your reviews.

If this movie had been made 20 years ago in 1993/94 it would never have been a theatrical release. Oh no it would have been one of those direct to video releases that you see on the rack at a K-Mart checkout selling as the "blue light special" for $5 or it would have been split up into three episodes and turned into one of those PBS kids show "specials" that serves as a pilot episode and then disappears after three or four episodes.

[@assymacgee3306]

Honestly, this should have been this now. Seriously, this should have been some direct-to-dvd shit even today.

[@Hammerhead547]

Assy Macgee This never should have even been released for public consumption. It sat on the shelf for 2=3 years after being made and that's where it should have stayed.

[@marcuslavaggi-bowen6539]

@@Hammerhead547 always a sign that the film will suck

[@joyunicycle]

I'm still baffled at how in the world it got a theatrical release. I'd like to know how and why.

[@Hammerhead547]

@@joyunicycle The end of august/beginning of september is known within the industry as the "dead season" for movies because its back to school time and peopel don;t have the free time they had over the summer, its where they dump everything that they know is going to fail. They probably had an empty spot on the release schedule so some executive dug this movie out of the vault and said "we can put this out, it doesn't matter if it fails becuase we won't lose anything on it".

[@opposite_hedgehog_753]

I would let kids watch Don Bluth 80's films, Charles Chaplin films, Miyazaki films, and Spielberg films. This is an insult to cinema.

[@AxioProductions]

Well said sir

[@ahniandfriends123]

If you're going to get into Bluth's movies, stay away from films like A Troll in Central Park and the likes.

[@opposite_hedgehog_753]

I said 80's Bluth films.

[@Musicradio77Network]

+Paymon Khaleghi Or a pair of Disney animated movies and musicals like "Mary Poppins", along with "The Little Mermaid", "Cinderella", "Snow White", "Bambi", Dumbo", "Pinocchio" right up to "Frozen". Like I said, way better than this horrible kids movie.

[@LegoManiac_101]

Paymon Khaleghi so would I. I would also let them watch Fraiser, Black Adder, and Faulty Towers.

[@JohnAvengerJR1985]

This kind of shit makes Barney the dinosaur look watchable and i watched it as a kid.

[@joyunicycle]

And makes the Teletubbies less obnoxious

[@KermisVoyager1997]

Why so much hate for these shows? I never had any problems with them.

[@grahamkristensen9301]

Funny story. My friend and I found this POS on Netflix one day and we decided to watch it just to see what the fuss was all about. I was able to get through it by riffing on it MST3K style, but towards the end something snapped inside of me and I started having one of those laughing fits that starts off with a chuckle that builds into maniacal laughter and devolved into sobbing. No movie has ever done that to me ever or since.

[@TsuruyaSonozaki]

What a disturbing film O-o Sometimes I wonder where people get the ideas for these horrible things...You sometimes get these films where people don't even try because they figure if they're for kids, they don't need to bother with making it good!

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

It's not that disturbing.

[@401_jake]

@@rebelfleettrooper9881 you're right it's very disgusting

[@TheDeldiz]

Somebody on Rotten Tomatoes said that this movie could become a cult classic. I totally agree. And it would be the same cult who thought the Great Cornholio was a Messiah.

On the one hand I feel bad you watched this headache of a film, but on the other hand this is my favorite reaction you did. The director needs to be punished hard!

[@rnrbishop]

Sadly Emer passed away a few years back

[@ExplorerDS6789]

I felt sick just watching the trailer. I don't know how you do it, Emer.

[@Truthseeker1515]

How the hell can Christopher Lloyd star in these awful movies? Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD? Has the guy got no shame? Does he really need the money? Fuck me!

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

I met him last year. I should have asked him why then. I don't think it's the money though. He's rumored to be reprising his role in Back To Future 4? Look it up,

[@TokiAlbatou150]

"....that if this were to be a success it would have spawned a TV show. Thank Christ that didn't happen." I checked their Twitter page a few days ago and they said that a TV show is under production and scheduled to be released next year. Here is to hoping it gets short lived.

[@jackgarrison8497]

@@fredrichfernando6798 Good I never heard of this Movie until Today

[@audreytheausllyologist502]

Am I the only who considers the Oogieloves theme song a little eerie? Maybe it's because it already looks creepy enough (Though I've never seen it and I never plan to. It looks disgustingly horrendous).

[@pearofsalamanca]

This film got a 7.3 on IMDb. How? How did the spambots get it that stinkin' high? I know IMDb ratings are unreliable these days but come on.

[@ph89787]

It's right next to Frozen. Who the hell thought this deserves to be in the same league as Frozen.

[@beyshredder2916]

Pear Of Salamanca trolls and people who were well payed to write fake reviews

[@n00bpwn3r22]

The reviews where you spend the whole time shitting on the movies are the most entertaining

[@EmerPrevost]

Yes, but the Mario Bros. movie was also at least good in a "so bad it's good" sort of way. This thing was a bag of shit, and earned next to nothing in the box office as a result.

[@artrosemedia353]

No!!!! Not Christopher Lloyd! He plays Hacker from Cyberchase, one of the best shows EVAR!!!

[@Hellsinger89]

Wow, didn't know that!

[@Musicradio77Network]

+Art Media At first, he was in the "Back to the Future" films as Dr. Emmet Brown, and also in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where he did the villain named Judge Doom. Both of these are excellent films.

[@fozzieatdetourbillnye5514]

I met him last year at ComicCon.

[@joyunicycle]

Why did he and Carey Elwes have to be in this junk?!

[@alanalves7649]

LIoyd is the king of shitty flicks, before that he did Supah Babies and Foodfite

[@EmerPrevost]

For the record, this was not from the guy who made Teletubbies. This was from the guy who brought Teletubbies to American television. There is a big difference there.

[@Monkeyradar]

Your review actually makes me want to watch this movie. I have too much stress in my life right now and need to escape to this one-dimensional world.

[@Musicradio77Network]

This is still the best moment in all of "Reaction & Review" as one of the best.

[@AdventureTreyz]

did you know that the creator had the nerve to say it was for 1-14 year olds

[@Arrakeen77]

I think enraged Craig Moss fans wanted you to watch this. If they even exist.

[@unwaveringblindness]

Dude. I started to come here every time to know someone saw something worse than I can. God bless you.

[@EmerPrevost]

I would need to put them on the wish list, and you would need to buy them from there. However, I would need to think long and hard about which Miyazaki movie (or movies) I would put on there. Since I have only seen three of his movies (Princess Mononoke, Castle of Cagliostro, and technically Nausicaa Of The Vally Of The Wind), there are plenty of choices. Do you have any suggestions?

[@iNvictaStudios]

My local AMC still had a bag from the kids meal there when I was trying to watch Evil Dead

[@BKDBrian2]

God, the Oogieloves was nonstop annoyance because they wanted you to interact with it, and it was so bad.

[@Ringworm1281]

I can't stop looking at those white squares on your glasses.

[@sinfulldreamer]

Ugh! This is so bad. They move so awkwardly and they don't even play their instruments right. Why even have them playing instruments if your actors inside of them don't even care what they're doing half of the time.

I forgot about those. That's definitely something I'd like Emer to view.

This is why once I have kids, I would let my kids watch Fraiser, Black Adder, and Faulty Towers when they are three to five years old.

Matthew Diamond directed this movie and this is the only movie he directed, he directed a bunch of random TV shows and got nominated in the Academy Award for this one documentary movie according to what I looked up on IMDb.

...and Baby Geniuses, plus his name is spelled "Christopher Lloyd".

[@rileyhogan5676]

Does that mean J. Edgar Hoover sucked?

[@robokill387]

the thing about these oogieloves things are that they are frickin terrifying. of course no kids wanted to see them, look at their eyes.

[@EmerPrevost]

No. I am not doing an R&R on "Jack & Jill" because the trailers looked horrible (Adam Sandler's involvement didn't help much, though). But, I do remember being a little interested in "That's My Boy". Mind you, the odds of me watching it are pretty slim, but you have a better chance of seeing me cover that than "Jack & Jill".

[@ThierryRocksTV]

I am sorry for my stupid comments on your Barb Wire review and I have been subscribed to you all this time but when you reviewed The Triplets of Belleville I had never heard of the movie , I watched the trailer and it looked amazing. Thank you for introducing me to such a brilliant film. Thierry

Darius the fat Rex this moment came to mind a few hours the day I heard the news. Before this was a funny moment, but given what happened, it now has a depressing hindsight scarred into it...

I am glad you got to review this movie because I would never have heard of you or this awesome show.You should really review Undercover Brother.If you can get through 20 seconds of the General Fried Chicken song without laughing,you're a better one than me.I already couldn't stand Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride and his performance in this definitely put the nail in the coffin for me and I never even seen the movie to know how bad it was!!!

[@TheDeldiz]

The scary part is...Beavis and Butthead are more intelligent than any of the characters in this movie 0_o

[@EmerPrevost]

I have read that in a few places, but I have never seen this anti-bullying PSA anywhere. So, I cannot confirm or deny it.

[@EmerPrevost]

I don't remember ever confirming that a video game month was coming. Sure, I could do one, but I don't have any plans on doing one any time soon.

[@Rebelxfree]

LOL I love you man ... This nightmare had a beginning It was ( Drum Roll please ) MY Bedbugs . One of the backers got the rights to the show and took the characters. Cut off there antennas . Took the characters off an over sized set and well it was a sophomoric show at best . But this thing was terrible end to a TV show .

[@EmerPrevost]

Well, I don't know about total box office, but when I crunched the numbers on the opening weekend, I came up with about 2 people per screening. So, that must mean that the turnout went down quite a bit over the other two weeks or so the thing was in theaters.

[@loganmansiongames]

I love that Watchmen Pin, Emer.

[@ANDCFC95]

He always had the coolest pin buttons.

[@kirbyfan4]

I remember seeing an advert for this

[@EmerPrevost]

Thanks for that. Somehow, I was expecting something far worse. It was still abysmally bad, mind you, but I thought it would be more mind-meltingly horrible.

[@EmerPrevost]

Oh, Josh has found a way to pay me back. I will be reviewing that movie some time next month.

[@TheDeldiz]

Yeah that's the cliff notes of it

[@EmerPrevost]

That's because it is a G rated film.

[@NinteSegaRarew]

...or Baby Geniuses?

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

god forbid the kid that puts this movie as his favorite movie.

Yeah, has to be the most disturbing children's film since Jack and Jill and the 3 Alvin and the Chipmunks films.

[@KBBebop]

*sees title* Oh my God... I'm so sorry, Emer DX

[@JoaqMan]

I enter in three weeks. Also there is another box office bomb that you should see called Delgo a film with a 40 million dollar budget and only made around 900,000 at box office

[@MNMreviews]

Oogie was the most god-awful theatrical experiences ever. I tortured myself with it opening week just as a joke. I'll never ever forget it. Oogieloves (8/29/12-8/29/12) How little we knew you.

[@MissBarker93]

Could you please do an R&R of Kiara the Brave?

[@NinteSegaRarew]

Yup, Beavis and Butt-head rule!!

[@pinglefingle]

I always had a feeling you would do this movie, I saw the trailer when I was in the theater watching "Dark Shadows".

[@GeekMaladroit]

For myself, Spill.com's audio review (while saying it's bullshit it released in the theater) hyped it up to be one of the weird movie experiences they have ever had. Essentially why I think people are so curious about it is because it looks like a very weird acid trip for toddlers, and so far all signs point to it being just that.

[@EmerPrevost]

No, I shouldn't. I have seen the first two (thus disqualifying them from being reviewed for this series), and I tried to watch the third, and couldn't finish it. So, the only ones I can do are the fourth and fifth.

[@TrueBuddhaCat]

Ah man, I feel sorry for you Emer. Sorry you had to suffer X(

[@MattyIce61]

Emer, you always have the funniest reactions & reviews, even though this movie was so horrible (I 1st saw it last week on Netflix on my iPhone) you made the review funny as hell, man.

[@BygPhattyPlus]

The cover of the movie ALONE made me shutter.

[@joyunicycle]

"This thing could genuinely be good" No it couldn't. This movie is pandering

[@Maximara]

Disneylike in that they used animals and had musical numbers but yes you are right in that Disney would never do animation that bad or be that insulting to a real life event.

*2 minutes in* Me: Oh rats. This early, good luck.....

[@Sukuun]

Why do I want you to watch this thing? Because it is gut-bustingly hilarious to see a guy who can watch movies like Cannibal Holocaust, Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, and the Human Centipede and not get violently ill AND who is not a fan of children sit through some that caters to kids.

[@spidertaz82]

You were the one who randomly brought up the Razzies. You made it sound like I wouldn't look at a movie because it was nominated for a few Razzies. I am a bit puzzled why you would even bring that up, in all honesty.

[@TrueBuddhaCat]

Suggestions of actual GOOD kids movies; all of the Disney Renissance fims(maybe not "Hunchback" though), Don Bluth films like "Secret of NIHM", "Land Before Time"(THE ONLY GOOD ONE), "Anastasia"; Miyazaki movies like "Kiki's Delivary Service", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Laputa; Castle in the Sky", "Spirited Away"; and a few other ones. Even "Watership Down" is an amazing kids film than this shit(even if it has scared a ton of kids; except me)

[@DarthRushy]

And then came... THE SECRET OF NIMH 2!!! Dun DUN DUUUUUUNNNN!!!! (Just kidding, I haven't seen either)

[@JPlatinum333]

This movie is a manifestation of everything wrong with children's entertainment today. It's a good thing that people came to their senses when it came to this piece of garbage.

Because society adores a trainwreck, and this is the biggest one of all, currently the world record holder for lowest-grossing film with a wide cinematic release.

[@Indigodelta383]

pretty much what you think everything that wrong with a kid movie is in there

[@JoaqMan]

If you do the math right according to the money it made at the box office there was only one person per screening

[@MajorMontana]

Maybe fans of Darknessthecurse wanted you to watch this as payback for making him review that Twilight game? Just a thought.

[@TheDeldiz]

I mean the only cult I can think of that would consider this a classic is stupid enough to mistake Beavis and Butthead for prophets

[@mr3urious]

The marketing guy should have known that preschool movies always flop. Even the stupidest of parents wouldn't want to piss away 20 bucks on something they can just buy for much less on DVD, even if said movie had a big-name star like Elmo or Barney. Plus, all the forced Madea-inspired interactivity encourages even more loud, disruptive behavior at the theaters. And not the good kind of Rocky Horror-style interactivity.

[@jong4tv]

Try Baby Geniuses and the Mystery of the Crown Jewels

[@nostalgiateenable]

Would you ever consider doing a reaction and review for The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000)? That is if you haven't seen it.
