The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure (2012)

If I were 3 years old and had this garbage foisted on me...I'd consider putting myself up for adoption.

If I were 3 years old and had this garbage foisted on me...I'd fling fecal matter at the screen.

If I were 3 years old and had this garbage foisted on me...I'd throw a tantrum just to get taken out of the theater.

If I were 3 years old and had this garbage foisted on me...I'd never want to see another movie again.

This movie was not good.

Don't take your kids to see this garbage. There are TV shows far superior to this. There are classic movies far superior to this. Last year's Winnie The Pooh is perfect for kids. Show them that.

Not this sludge.

Fmovies: One of the worst movies in the world. Don't be fooled by the bots who are freaking PRAISING this movie. The movie is god awful. In fact it's so bad that I would give it 0 stars, but IMDb does not have an option to give it 0 stars. "The Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure" has to be the WORST movie ever right next to the Garbage Pail Kids movie. Don't waste your money on this miserable pile of excrement. It is absolutely horrible. Also, if you really want to have your eyes and ears bleed, watch the movie at your own risk. And, would you believe that this "movie" is at a 7.4?! Want to know why? Apparent some troll decided to get a bot that spams this movie with surprisingly positive reviews, thus, bringing the rating up. This movie is a good reason why IMDb needs bot protection.

Like the last two people who have commented here, I am DUMBSTRUCK by all the recent rave reviews for this "movie". Seriously, you can tell they're fake! And you wanna know what's worse? Thanks to them, this stupid thing now has a SIX POINT ONE RATING! No really! Just yesterday (last night) I checked and it was 5.9 and already it went up by .2 in less than 24 hours! And a few days before yesterday it was actually at 5.5 and before that 5.1! And as of 19 days ago (August 12 when the last comment was written), it was 4.9! As that person mentioned it was actually at 1.7 before the recent rave reviews and ratings started on June 14-24. And even WITHOUT the REVIEWS, it STILL keeps going up! As if it wasn't pathetic enough already when the rave reviews were coming from users who'd NEVER written a review, had just registered, and STILL haven't written any other reviews since, now it's gotten to where they just register, rate it 10, and do nothing else! Hence now we can't even tell who were the voters, what were their user names, what else they've rated, or if they even saw it. And even if they did, it's clearly the same person OVER and OVER and OVER again. And who else could it possibly be besides someone who was involved in it in SOME way? Unless they have a huge fantard following perhaps, but I highly doubt that! The only morons that could like something this stupid are either toddlers (dumb toddlers, who've never seen a single quality movie in their lives), or someone whose mental ability is that of a dumb toddler.

Bottom line, this is getting WAY overrated. Someone should do something! How this stupid piece of alien excrement that's an OBVIOUS mockbuster of Teletubbies (a great show btw) got a 6.1 while Gordy (a masterpiece of family film-making that's as adorable as the titular talking piglet it's about) got only 3.4 and the Teletubbies got 2.9 is something I will NEVER understand. And guess what else? They have another children's "show" out now called Rabbids Invasion which also rips off Teletubbies! And guess what rating IT got? A 5.8! Yet the REAL DEAL, Teletubbies, got 2.9! Seriously people, STOP supporting this ALIEN ABOMINATION and start supporting Gordy and Teletubbies! Don't support this "movie" or the Rabbids Invasion "show" which is just as bad!

EDIT ON September 2: Now it's up to six point THREE, AND yet another bogus review showed up! Seriously! This should not be allowed! I think all the 10/10 ratings and reviews HAVE to be coming from SOMEONE involved with this thing. This stinky, smelly, STUPID piece of alien excrement. HOW can it get 6.3, yet Gordy STILL only has 3.4! I DO NOT GET THAT! AND I NEVER WILL! Gordy is a quality family film. A film that shows no matter how small you may be, you can always make a difference! That family and friendship are among the most powerful forces of the Earth! What is The Oogieloves supposed to teach? That no matter how terrible, horrible, awful, and STUPID of an idea you may have for a film, it can not only be made, but get released THEATRICALLY? And in over 2,000 theaters at that. And how much money did it make? It got released in over 2,000 theaters and what, TWO people per showing showed up? That alone tells you how bad it is. Even little kids are going to look at it and think, "Is this supposed to be for us? Do they really think we're that dumb?" I mean, I remember some 10+ years ago, after Cinderella II came out on video (unlike Oogieloves it was COR

The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure fmovies. The Oogieloves In The Big Ballon Adventure is not only one of the worst movies i've ever seen, it's the worst children's movie i've ever seen! It's everything that's wrong with children's shows wrapped up into one movie. Having left the theater, i'm still incredibly shocked that a film this terrible got a theatrical release. First off, this is some of the laziest writing i've ever heard for a kids film. Just look at the characters names! Goobie, Zoozie, and Toofie! And if you think that's bad enough, just wait until you hear some of the supporting cast characters names. Rosalie Rosebud, Marvin Milkshake, and the worst of all is Carey Elwes character's name Bobby Wobbly. The saddest of all is Christopher Lloyds role which is just embarrassing. You can tell for the most part though that none of the supporting cast wanted to be there because they aren't even trying at all. The plot of the film is as simple as it gets. The Oogieloves have the collect the 5 magical balloons they've lost and get them back in time for this big party they are about to have. You can pretty much figure out the whole movie from just that one sentence. What ensues is some of the worst jokes i've ever heard in a film and a bunch of lame dance/musical numbers. Now the Oogieloves is being marketed as a "revolutionary interactive movie-going experience". However, there is nothing revolutionary or original about it. If you've seen Dora The Exploreor or anything show similar of that, then you've seen everything that Oogieloves has to offer. There is nothing new here to see, except the material being taken to a new low. The writing is some of the worst i've ever heard for a kids film with all of the jokes involving some sort of gross out gag or flatulence jokes. The musical numbers are also very bland and the songs are not catchy at all. However, I can't really say the film bored me because it just kept irritating me and making me more and more angry by how awful it was. The fact that this is what people are accepting for children's entertainment is shocking and is exactly why all kids entertainment these days sucks! Oh, and don't buy into the "Academy Award Nominated Director" crap either, Matthew Diamond was nominated for Best Documentary for a film that nobody saw. I really can't think of anything else to say about this film besides how awful it is. Please Parents, do not take your kids to see this film!

This had to be the worst kids' movie I have ever seen in my life; my four year old and I we were the only two in the theater watching it today; she must have asked me 10 times if the movie was over and if it was time to go. The voices didn't match up to the film and the whole thing was a big old' mess. The songs were silly and not in a good, silly for kids way; just silly and meaningless. We missed the first few minutes, which I usually hate, but I think that save us a few more minutes of misery. Perhaps the glow stick had something to do with the beginning that we missed, but she kept asking me what it was for. I like the idea of kids being able to interact, and maybe if there had been someone else in the theater, she would have been motivated to get up, but it just didn't work.

***UPDATE - Another bogus review added by someone who JUSt registered and NEVER reviewed anything before, and still it's on 1.9!

***UPDATE*** Worst movie opening of ALL time - the American public speaks!

Firstly, I have a pre schooler and I watch a lot of kids movies and TV. Dora can be a little annoying at times to me, but I can see it's educational value and that it has a plot, a point, some thought went into the episodes.

The Oogieloves had a bad plot, bad writing, bad songs, bad acting and was quite frankly and insult to your average pre schooler.

One of the reviews here said it was for 8 years and under, and I say to that NO WAY IN HECK! You will not find a kid above 5 wanting to sit through this garbage.

It makes the lack lustre The Lorax (of which most would say the book was far superior), seem like it should have garnered numerous Oscars.

If I was a writer on this project I would have told them they didn't have to put my name in the credits, it's THAT awful.

NOW, to the bogus reviews - there are 5 here as of this moment - 1 is a good review by someone who has written a lot of reviews, so I can respect that they found something appealing in this pile of dross that I obviously didn't see. 2 are awful reviews like mine, written by people, like me, who have written other reviews.

Two of the reviews are bogus in my opinion, probably written by someone in connection to the movie, since neither of these people has EVER written a review on ANYTHING before. Does that scream fake review to you? Even with the bogus reviews this movie is only on a 2.2 so far, that should tell you it's just plain bad.

Don't even rent it from a Redbox, it's not even worth that much! Parents everywhere hear me, you're going to be happy in a couple of weeks because Finding Nemo is coming back to theaters, save your money and take the little guys to that - they haven't seen it on the big screen and it's even going to be 3D too, now THAT is a movie worth your movie ticket bucks.

I would have given this a zero with no qualms at all, except that there is no option for a zero out of ten!
