One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Seriously? Just reading the title makes me cringe. It doesn't sound accurate at all which no doubt symbolizes how much this movie has to offer us.1. The animation is loathsome to watch. The models of the humans are 3D stiff figures who hardly show any emotion and bad running motion. The monsters looked like something a kindergarten would draw in art class.2. The characters are completely annoying and empty-headed. They can't figure out how to make their house turn around when they invented the flying engine? Why do they think that the evil French guy saved them when they didn't even see him help? 3. The science in this movie is just insane. One minute there rock doesn't have it's energy and then a few scenes later it does have it's energy. It's never explained. Plus how does the magic rock that can only hypnotize people open a portal to let monsters out when it falls to the ground? No explanation.4. I don't care if this movie was made for kids. When your movie stars a bunch of scientists you're supposed to make them smart. They sadly don't know a thing or too about science.I can't see anyone watching this movie for more than two minutes without wanting to unplug their TV. This is the kind of movie you would show to your kids when you want to punish them for something. It's a big waste of time.

What's Up: Balloon To The Rescue is far or more the worst Video Brinquedo movie has to offer because of it's horrible animation and bad dialogue and bad script. Wow, what have Video Brinquedo done to this world, this film is totally ripping-off Up by Pixar, holy crap they don't have the same plot nor the characters well guess what, mockbusters suck, i hate these kind of movies and i think the useless characters in this movie are horrendous i even hate it when the movie is only 45 minutes long, what the hell is that crap i mean really, 45 minutes, that's like watching the Family Guy Star Wars special that is only 50 minutes long. Now take a look at this crap, oh it's awful, it has major flaws everywhere.1/10 Why:It f***in sucks

And actually that What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue rips-off Up, one of Pixar's best films, is the least of its problems. How amateurishly made it is in all areas is really painful to watch, lack of originality in a film is not always a problem but it depends on how everything else is done. What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue is not just unoriginal but every component making it up screams of a less-than-amateur job. What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue is not quite as bad as Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter, that doesn't mean anything though because it is one of Video Brinquedo's(the Asylum of animated movie studios and even worse, The Asylum does have the odd tolerable film whereas Video Brinquedo's entire resume consists of movies that are to be seen once and immediately erased from the memory) worst. The animation is every bit as hideous as those of Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter, instead of detail and fluidity every background is static and choppy, the colours manage to be flat and garish and even worse are the robotic and really quite creepy character designs. Nobody is expecting Disney, Pixar or Studio Ghibli quality here, they want to see effort which wasn't seen all that much with What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue. The soundtrack is forgettable at best and flatly recorded and, like with Ratatoing and The Little Panda Fighter, What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue is written terribly. The humour is unfunny and is more juvenile and at times crass rather than smart and witty. The story, if we side-step the unoriginality, has absolutely no heart or charm to it. It is also a very overly predictable story with some of the laziest exposition of possibly any movie, animated or otherwise, and manages also to be too thin for the almost 50 minute length. Even worse it also didn't even know how or when to end. The characters, there are shades of the Up characters in their character designs but very-badly-designed-clones-looking instead are annoying and not likable in the slightest, and you are looking for good voice work, look elsewhere. If you've seen any of Video Brinquedo's any other outings you'll know how poor the vocal talent is, it's of the didn't-even-try quality with dialogue delivery lacking in any kind of expressions and the voices themselves often grate. Overall, if you want to be uplifted see Up itself, because What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue won't give you that feeling, deflation and annoyance will be more like it. 1/10 Bethany Cox
