Can’t Wait For Your Review on Chip n Dale.
(Saberspark)Could you please make a video called (What ruined Thomas and friends). And before you ask "Why" it's because your also good at making what's ruinning/ruined... videos, also let me explain it to you like this. The Railway Series(book 1-42): F**k yeah, classic era(season 1-7): great, hit era(season 8-12): not bad but not so good either, Miller era(season 13-16): kill me now, Brenner era(season 17-21): finally it's getting better, BWBA era(season 22-24): What's happening here, All engines go(season 25-26): F**k this S**t I'm out. And as for the rest of you users, please don't shit on me for liking Thomas and friends, we all have our weird interest in things.
Maybe if they cut its budget it would be a hit.
Hey dude, hope you get better. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@wilbertawdrypictures5647 What are you even talking about
I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW AWFUL I FEEL READING THAT, I ALSO HATE HOW YOU SPELLED RUINED. IT'S RUINING EVERYTHING ELSE YOU ARE SAYING.
The animation looks like it was made in 2006. How did Netflix pick up this garbage while cancelling lots of good shows?
yeah They cancelled the BONE adaption but allowed this trash... hopefully the decent or great films of Netflix are backed up and just let Netflix die off... and hopefully someone will give the BONE series it's great adaptation
Hi Rocky, love your videos
@@cydragon2.099 THEY CANCELLED BONE?? Bruhhh 😭
@@alyssabullock6421 yeah so far they made some kind of promise with the Original author of The BONE series to do some adaptation but it got canned all because they were loosing subs
Im disappointed they canceled wings of fire, its a very successful series as is
And yet Netflix is wondering why their revenue and their value is going down, while less and less people want to invest in their company, when they’re doing things like this.
This. It’s funny cuz one of the reasons that was stated that their value is going down is cuz of the reliance on originals. But they don’t advertise or make them easy to get to (bad UI). So they cancel good shows and they wonder why ppl r leaving the service in droves.
The only reason why I still haven’t delete my Netflix account is bc I’m still waiting for The Cuphead Show new episodes
wtf r u doin here
Exactly! I fail to understand why they cancel actually good stuff but they greenlight garbage like this!
bots in replies am i right lads or am i right lads
In the live action adaptation, they _at least_ clarified that the dogs can only talk to each other and other animals, not humans. I imagine they're following the same logic here but didn't bother to explain it at all.
I mean you could go the Bolt route where the animals hear and speak to eachother in English but humans only hear the noises. (Rhino’s ranting against the villain actor being heard entirely as ‘squeak squeak squeak!’ from the human perspective.
That movie at least TRIED,but this is just…
@@BaranoffIsaacI did a project on the marmaduke comics in school once, and if I’m correct, the creator specified that marmaduke stands out from other comic animals because he DOESNT talk. The people around him tell the story.
As soon as I heard him talking TO a HUMAN, it took away any unique qualities this garbage dump of a movie could have had. It’s just the average animal movie, but worse.
The day before my dog died, I decided to watch this movie with my family while she laid by my side. And... I hated it. The plot was so boring and confusing, I couldn't get into it. Hell, I even feel like the characters were hard to understand at times, like they were speaking quietly. We just spent most of the time ridiculing the character designs. Don't even get me started on the trophy scene.. I got second hand embaressment from it. So yeah.. it felt like an insulting send-off to my dog.
Edit: Thank you everybody for your condolences under this reply. I know Saberspark lost his dog around the same time as mine so please give your best wishes to him as well ❤️ and yeah, still screw this movie. A painful experience of my life is forever linked with one of the most painful movies I've ever seen.
That's just awful to hear that, I'm sorry for your loss.
Hug.
I think you should have watched Hachiko Monogatari, that’s sad.
I hope netflix fails because this would never been made if they actually listened to their subscribers...so sorry my guy
I’m so sorry about your dog :(
If we lose the second season of Arcane I’m blaming this movie, I don’t care if that doesn’t make sense XD
Powder did nothing wrong.
Riot has oodles of money, they’ll just take arcane to a different streaming platform
arcane is mid anyway lol, don't blow a fuse over it
@@Lantern_Larry Powder did everything wrong, but not out of malice
@@ard4461 yeah your probably right on that - riot prints money in the eastern markets.
This makes the live action version enjoyable. Yeah it was bland, but I’d rather have bland than a complete train wreck playing in slow motion.
I prefer train wrecks over bland movies. Rather be shocked than bored to sleep.
I agree, the live action one may be a cliché storm but at least the fact it used cute real dogs and a cute real cat gave it SOME charm, but this animated one tho, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
@@jorami4838 idk about that. I prefer a typical cliche over losing my brain cells trying to understand what this movie is and why the cancelled bones over this.
At least the Live-action had Owen Wilson and George Lopez, which had great character interactions and George Lopez stole the show as Carlos every time he was onscreen.
I honestly like the live action movie, but I also don’t go into details and nitpick. Cliché or not, I liked it. Had its odd moments, but it makes more sense than this new movie.
Dear Netflix. If you want to recover from the humongous gap you fell into during 2022, just do everyone a favor and keep on with your promise of supporting animation. In other words: Stop cancelling hyped shows, firing employees and giving priority to things no one cares about.
tell to Netflix needs to be a Pibby
Yeah they need to stop putting money in shitty live action anime adaptations
This movie came out over 10 years after the last Marmaduke movie, I am absolutely baffled at how badly this is animated. The cgi in the 2010 one looks literally a million times better than this, I'm surprised they even bothered with the fur textures. There is no way this wasn't a tape from 2007 just pulled out of somebody's garage or something, I hate looking at it!
I'm so mad at Netflix. They have all these great animated shows. And they throw them all away for for this?
Same with some movies, they have the amazing *whisker away* but…..I can’t remember any bad movies
@Guys look👇🅥 it's rickroll...
You're so right. There was an amazing Wings of Fire show planned but they tosses that out. Why Netflix why!?
Maybe in another universe we got the Bone adaptation.
netflix try not to make the most stupid decisions challenge (impossible)
I'm all for stylized designs but god damn. This dog looks malnourished. You've got a huge beefcake of a breed to work with and you make him a greyhound/deer roadkill hybrid.
I 100% agree. These designs look extremely terrible
Marmaduke looks like an anorexic spider monkey, and most of the humans look just as bad if not worse, most of the humans are just wires with heads and the mom has a huge cake, a huge, huge, HUGE cake!
I mean this is a giant dog, you can really do a lot with a giant character. Heck, the gags about ‘giant dog thinks he is a puppy’ could fill a few episodes alone.
Beefcake
The art for the movie poster (which was shown in the vid) looks closer to his design in the comic than what they used in the movie. I have to guess it must have been from an earlier version of the film before they changed everything.
But using that makes it misleading because that's not the character design you see in the movie. It reminds me of the Dingo Pictures' cover art on their DVDs where it looks better than what is actually shown in the movie.
8:30 the fact that this is the most replayed part of this video makes me already imagine the kind of "fanarts" the mom is gonna have
she is probably the most memorable character
@@ballssalmon9953 indeed
Y'know, this reminds me a lot of the dream I had when I fell asleep while watching TV. My brain went weird, it decided to weave each show into one another. Which is how I was able to witness speed racer try to kill a giant snail with his car before suddenly driving off a cliff to his death for no damn reason...and then it got weird.
That doesn’t sound too far off from a normal episode of The Amazing World of Gumball
That actually kinda sounds like a great movie or show idea
I had to watch this movie in science class...they said it was our "reward" for doing well on testing. Everyone was upset, nobody was laughing, people were taking 20 minute long restroom breaks to avoid it. We couldn't even fall assleep to avoid it because the movies painful dialog was keeping us up.
Good lord, that's not only cruel, it shows your teacher is EXTREMELY disconnected from what media is considered good
Omg I'm so sorry
This felt like a punishment more than a reward.
As someone who had to watch Vegas Vacation as that same kind of 'treat' by our science teacher, I still feel you got the worse deal. I'm so sorry for you.
How bad did everyone score!?
you forgot to talk about the very respectful portrayals of minorities, every single Hispanic person in the crowd had a sombrero, the Chinese dog had kung fu powers, and the dog from San Jose loved tacos.
at this point i am not surprised
Progressive checklists: "I've done my job"
@@hassathunter2464 its literally the opposite of progressive what
Oh god 🤦♂️
Ah yes, very tasteful.
From what I've heard, Scooby was designed to be, for lack of a better word, an inverse great dane. With bowed legs, bad posture, etc, all his physical traits are the opposite of what a breeder would want from a dane puppy. He's a reject dane and it's wonderful. So i'd say not designed based off Marmaduke.
Same with his personality. Great Danes are described as being brave and confident, so the creator of the show made Scooby scared and cowardly.
Adventures of Buck Wild: No wonder everyone hates me.
Marmaduke: Hold my bone.
They did it... The crazy bastards actually did it... They actually managed to make 3D-animated character designs that *SOMEHOW* look worse than the ones from The Addams Family (2019)... I'm unironically, genuinely impressed.
Both movies looked so bad that my eyes became sentient
@one of one Is it though?
This made me so much comfier about my body tho. I'm glad my fat isn't gonna make me look like whatever these twig piles are supposed to be.
it’s like a rip off adams family design and it’s so nasty
edit: just finished the video and realized he said this, forget i said anything
Idk bout all that lol
I wish people who made comic movies actually read the comic. The Marmaduke comic was a slice of life, one panel, one liner strip. It's about a dog who thinks he's people, but it's actually about the people trying to get along with this force of nature big dog. As soon as I heard that Marmaduke talked I knew they went the wrong way.
That comic sounds really cool, wish I could read it somewhere. 😊
It’s also a terrible comic
the duality of man represented in the replies above ^
They probably did read the comic. The problem is that they seem to have gotten the wrong idea from it.
@@TrollDecker personally I’m more of a Garfield without Garfield kinda reader
I am so glad you highlighted the fact Phil Nibbelink made Romeo and Juliet all by himself, I feel like some people forget that's an impressive feat, especially as its animation and art is quite consistent in most of the movie!
Until now I thought the 0% rating was strictly theoretical. After three or four reviews it should be impossible to have a true 0% average.
Theres movies with like 200 reviews and 0%
In my head, movies like this exist because a bunch of old people sit around in a room and say "OH! This was popular when I was a kid! Kids like this stuff! Let's market off of it again" without realizing they're so out of touch with the world by decades.
that honestly feels like it sometimes, the world ran by people who have been out of touch for decades yet still think what they like is in and "hip" even thought their like 70/80 years old
And these people, ladies and gentlemen... we call them Boomers!
Tbh I don't blame them, if I get to adapt something I loved as a kid and It's an argument for It, I wouldn't mind at all, maybe you can readapt some old stuff to be more in line with audiences or just double down and get a whole aesthetic department working to make the thing have It's own old soul and charm
Old people know what old people like, my mother loved the movie.
i feel is getting worst
When it comes to adapting classic comic strips into animated feature films, you can either do it fantastically like the Peanuts Movie or you can reside to low brow shlock as seen in Marmaduke.
Yeah, I love the Peanuts movie. You can't go wrong with Charlie Brown & Snoopy!
The peanuts movie was the best
Garfield did quite well too
It's rare for an adaptation to be better than the source material.
Skynet is here
Every time Saber shows the cover for the movie, I cannot tear my eye away from Marmaduke's kneecaps being down near his ankles. It will haunt me in my nightmares, along with the animation.
we watched this in my class and we were all joking about it, we called it the "goofy ahh movie." that movie had us all wheezing because of how bad it was. we even joked about the budget being 10 cents. This movie is a masterpiece in the worst way possible.
More like the “excruciating screams of the damned movie”
And it took 5 years to make…the ruse of skywalker was made under a year and it looked better
I would ask to go to the bathroom and then stay there for a really long time
Same I still remember seeing this in class. Me and my friend occasionally bring up this movie as a joke
The way Marmaduke's body moves in most of those shots just makes my skin crawl. It's like they tried to go for stylized but missed and hit uncanny valley instead. I think it's mostly the way his limbs move and bend. It would look okay on a spider, but he's supposed to be a dog.
I agree. Especially in the scene where he jumps through the rings of fire, and then getting his tail caught on fire, and after getting rid of the fire on his tail, he ends up plumped on the ground and as you can see, his tail was moving roughly and not smoothly which to me along with the facial expressions on the characters looked uncannily awful and unfinished really shows how low quality the animation budget really is! :(
The cover imagine looks like he broke his legs
That's not uncanny valley. Not even close. It's just plain & simple awful animation and modelling. Nothing more.
Especially since he’s just so…skinny. Like a greyhound torso and sticks for limbs.
@@BlokeOzzie How is it not close? It's disturbing surrealism.
You know you're in trouble when your 2D end credits sequence looks better than your entire movie.
When I was young, very young, I used to have these peculiar recurring nightmares. They were about about indeterminate masses that were either too large or too small to comprehend, moving along thin lines strung across an infinite space. I stopped having them as I grew up, and don't really think about them anymore, until something triggers the memory. The dog trainer did just that. His legs approach that boundary of being too thin to comprehend. Any thinner, and he would have been there, perched on a thin wire, hurtling across my nightmares.
wait holy shit i didnt know other people had these nightmares too
@@truevulturebare Now you've got me wondering how common this is.
2:24 What is it with rapping dogs in horrible animated movies? First that Titanic thing, now this!
I feel bad for people who genuinely make really good kids movies like The Bad guys because it constantly gets over populated with bad writing, popular voices, loud sounds of movies that will attract kids attentions like a drug. Then people excuse it and say “it’s just a kids movie” Implying kids should get low budget content btw cause they don’t have the brain to know when a movie is bad or not. As a 7 year old I knew Disney sequels sucked
Amen
Considering most Disney sequels ended up straight to video and didn't even bother with the theater.
I remember feeling like there was something wrong with me as a kid because the low quality of certain “for kids” shows and movies made me uncomfortable. Kids have taste before they even know how to fully articulate it.
Afer how good the paw patrol movie is. Which is made for and aimed at kids mind you , the marmaduke has absolitely zero excuse to be this bad and still released to theaters.
"BuT iTs MaDe FoR kIdS!!!!" Yet their minds are being nuked over encanto
For the Record: Marmaduke is a long running comic strip that dates back to the 1950's. Starring this big dog and his family, its humor is derived from having a pet dog, the series is essentially about "man's best friend" at it's heart, and to that effect it even has a side feature within the comic series called "Dog Gone Funny" which is dedicated to dog related anecdotes sent in from fans! The series creator Brad died in 2015, so now new strips are made by his son, Paul. I have no idea what they think of the movie(s), but as far as i know, Marmaduke fans don't care for them. (In my opinion, it deserves better than, this.)
Marmaduke has fans….wow I feel so sorry for them. They got two adaptations of their favorite dog and they both suck.
This sounds eerily similar to what happened to "Boule & Bill", another slice-of-life comic about a dog and his boy. Your basic suburban family hijinx. You could read the dog's thought bubbles, but mostly he was just a dog doing relatable dog things for dog owners to point at and go "HA! So true!" ...until a few years ago someone decided that what the IP REALLY needed was an animated series with godawful CGI where the dog talks and he fights against a neighbor who's a supervillain with a secret lair for some reason??? I dunno. I couldn't force myself to watch more than 2 episodes.
It had an 80s series that ran with Heathcliff made by ruby a spears ironically the 2 creators of Scooby-Doo.
The early comics had marmaduke as more of a dog from hell, they're superior to the newer stuff
They made a reference to it in the Archer episode Crossing Over and one in the Daria episode Lane Miserables. Quick references, but they were subtle and funny.
4:58 THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCC
With a side of creepy spaghetti arms.
YES!!! I'm so glad you covered this. As soon as I saw this I was floored and immediately thought Saber needs to see this.
This doesn’t look like a film that would have been released in 2022. It looks like a movie from 2011 that would find itself in the Walmart $5 bargain bin.
It looks like an early 2000s shitpost, at best!
it looks and feel like a Video Brinquedo cheap rip-off
It doesnt even look like its worth being in the $5 bin.
I was sick of that bullet time shit way back in the early aughts.
It looks like a 1990s physics simulation
I'd been led to believe that the ONE joke the comic strip had was that he was a very large dog. He does not appear to be particularly large here... Like, maybe it's just because of the weird proportions of the humans, but he doesn't seem any bigger than a pretty typical Labrador or Boxer, which are generally classified as medium dogs.
Marmeduke looks so malnourished
He looks actually skinny
@@Evil_mastermind_zomboss I came here to say this. I’m just staring thinking, “Why did they make him that skinny and bony!?”
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra everybody is skinny
I have an extremely high tolerance for watching bad animated movies. I go out of my way to watch bad animated movies. I even rewatch some of them, since I like the background noise while I draw and I have a bad memory. It's a pass-time.
I say this because I had to turn this fucking movie off within the first 5-10 minutes. I might try to go back to it, but it was legitimately just that off-putting. Unbearably awful vibes.
4:57 Okay, hold up. Let's take a look at this shot.
- The "L" in "AMBULANCE" is *layered over the break between the doors.*
- The ambulance is obviously clipart, not a 3D model.
- The background is static. People on the sidewalk and all the other cars aren't moving.
- The flashing lights are clipart.
- The *dog trainer himself* is clipart, just wobbling back and forth with no animation.
...Why? Why do this?
My mom wanted to have a family movie night and she choose this movie. I never, in my 13 years of living, have I seen everyone leave the family movie room so quickly.
Damn. That's crazy
Netflix is so filled with crap these days I'm not surprised 💀
Omg I'm here before the bots
Holy shit, are you 13 too? Hi
I work at a summer camp and this was playing for the kids when I came back from my lunch break. After 15 minutes I seriously couldn’t take it anymore so I got up and changed it 😂
I put this movie with my family and everyone was quiet, there was horror in their faces. We were all waiting for the sweet release of ending this film. Until nobody could take it and we ended this movie and watched Into The Spider Verse trying not to remember this.
thats kind of impressive
If instead of a movie they made this a series of 3-5 minute shorts, then I would probably enjoy watching it with my niece. As a movie.... It's missing the point. Marmaduke is meant to be a series of shorts, like the comic, but animated.
They had a live action version of a Marmaduke movie a while ago and I thought the same with that one. It's so hard to have such a hateable *animal* character be the center point of a 90-minute anything.
I mean,, there’s always the peanuts. It just needs better writing and directing if it wants to last as a feature-length film
Tbh that's what this movie felt like to me to begin with. It feels like it was supposed to be couple minute long shorts originally that they just stitched together into a movie
It's interesting how I learn about a lot of obscure or horrifically bad movies from your channel. And my family and I HAVE Netflix, but I'm the one who watches animated stuff the most.
It's a catch 22: When Saber reviews a crap-ass movie, it's hilarious listening to him flip out, but you know he suffered for us. Good thing I'm letting the ads run. 😅
Curious: Do you still get animated movies advertised to you? When I had Netflix, they had my animated picks in the front, but the crappy ones were usually tucked back.
I feel like the plot of the film should've had the family love Marmaduke despite his rambunctious nature, but the residents of the neighborhood threaten to call animal control unless the family gets Marmadukes behavior under control. This could lead to Marmaduke over hearing the parents talking about hiring a dog trainer, leading to him thinking they're ashamed of him and how he acts. The film could've just followed a generic "love yourself for who you are" plot, but instead it did...whatever the hell it did.
The fact that this movie even began development in 2017 amazes me with how abhorrent it looks. I would expect this out of a bargain bin movie I would’ve found at like a Family Video rental store when I was 10.
How the fuck did THIS take 5 years to make
What about this movie took that long???
It very much looks like something from around '05-'07. The render quality reminds me of Open Season, meanwhile the animation is stiff and nonsensical.
@@galvanizeddreamer2051 The animation kinda reminds me of Chicken Little
The director mostly makes bargain bin movies and also that very crappy Spawn adaptation from the 90s. Great cinematography from this guy.
C’mon, man, that’s an insult. To bargain bins.
If I had the choice between Netflix’s Marmaduke and the live-action film, I’d go with the latter in a heartbeat
That or a latte
Understandable. Sometimes it’s nice to sit down with a nice, warm latte rather than forcing yourself to sit through utter garbage.
You’ll go with a “latte”⁉️ you want decaf⁉️
Do you want your latte with whole milk, 2%, fat free, soy, coconut, almond, cashew, or lactic free milk?
The Live Action film I don't remember at all but it's still a guilty pleasure of the early 2000s.
Make it hot cocoa and I'll take that over Marmaduke.
The credits song example got cut short by a COD add, thank God
Three things:
One- There was a Marmaduke cartoon in the 1970s or ‘80s (rerun by Cartoon Network in the ‘90s). It did not feel the need to resort to the nonsense these movies did.
Two- Notice the Marmaduke in the promotional ad didn’t match the one in the movie. The one in the promo actually looks good and the way the character is supposed to look. It’s like the movie makers realized after the fact how bad they’d made the poor dog look, then tried to disguise it in the ad because they knew no one would want to see the movie if they knew how the character really looked.
Three- Why is there this trend of using scatological humor (You know, jokes about flatulence and defecation) in movies about dogs? It’s not impossible to make scatological jokes that are actually funny, but these kinds of movies really don’t do anything other than go, “Hey, the dog is passing gas/pooping!” and expect people to laugh. Some even go into unsettling territory such as having food be contaminated. Not only is this trend not funny, it’s not original. I can’t remember the name right now (Edit- It was called See Spot Run), but in 2001 there was a movie doing the “Ha ha, you should laugh because the dog pooped!” thing, meaning people have been trying this joke for at least twenty years now.
And just when I thought Pinocchio: A True Story was the worst animated film I had ever seen, this atrocity crawls onto my screen. Why did they release this in the state that it’s in?!
Atleast Pinocchio itself is more memorable. They have Tom Kenny.
This shit ain't it.
@cheburashkafanxd That’s really not saying much
Without that laughable English dub, that Pinocchio movie is just a mediocre semi-adaptation of Buratino.
You clearly haven't seen anything near the worst yet...
@@Keznen Okay, maybe you have a point. Just personally for me it’s extremely generic, ugly, and simply bad in every way. But I guess there *is* worse out there.
@@maureenobrien4968 Generic? Definitely. There's no disputing that one.
Marmaduke is one of the movies of all time
It had a budget, it had animation
It even had a story
It is, without a doubt, one of the movies ever made
Now that was one of the reviews I’ve seen in my entire life, it was truly a review
It is right there as one of the movies along with Morbius

@@alexanderm.635 I honestly think Marmaduke is better than morbius, as it has over the top voice acting and animation, and the characters and the story? Ugh! So good! Morbius is good, great movie,cbut it gets outshined by Marmaduke 100%%%%

Man the animation of him jumping onto the dog was terrible, he literally has just a couple frames of movement then he’s just THERE
I blame my parents for making me watch these movies to the point that I suffer Stockholm Syndrome and I enjoy these movies for the baby humor and the worse part is that I can’t use my phone because it’s “family time”.
And Netflix has the audacity to post a tweet saying "the art of animation" to try and suppress the news of them axing productions it's sad to see a studio we thought would be home to so many talented animators to finally get their visions fulfilled to fall so falt in the span of a few years what a shame
The reason why i will choose to be an independent animator
What's interesting about that tweet is that neither of the pictures shown weren't from Netflix's own animation studio. Arcane and Love, Death & Robots weren't made in-house with the company.
Finally it's not here
@@michaelstrong5383 who'd thought that the streaming service is better when it's merely streaming things, instead of making it themselves
I watched this movie while babysitting for a family friend, and i'm still salty that the strong dog, that lifted the ENTIRE building, didn't win the dog show.

It should be a crime to subject kids to this hot garbage.
This video made me remember that in the live action marmaduke, which I saw when I was like 9, theres a scene where marmaduke gets thrown into a canal/sewer system and nearly gets GROUND UP BY IT and the reason he got thrown in? THE STREET COLLAPSED. That scene TRAUMATIZED me as a kid and I wish I had lived on forgetting marmaduke existed, curse you saberspark

This looks like a pilot for Nickelodeon in the early 2010s that was never picked up. Seeing as the Marmaduke live action was around that time, I think this is actually the case.
The lack of any strong central narrative momentum seems to suggest that that is the case.
I watched the trailer when you announced you’d make a video on this movie, and it felt like the story is rushing you through it, and the dog fart scene made me just say “no” and decide not to watch it.
As a person who likes fart jokes, Marmaduke's is the worst and the most cringy!
@@alicerivierre agreed, Adventure Time did the best one ever in my opinion.

At one point Piranha farts during a heist and the fart makes the whole scene actually tense and anxiety-inducing because the gang is this close to getting caught because of the fart, and later in the movie, Piranha farts again and this time the fart is intentional, he WEAPONIZED his fart to save two other characters from a death trap. Basically fart jokes can work if they're relevant to the plot, but in Marmaduke, the fart joke is so bad and cringy that it's blatantly obvious they only put it there cuz they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for any "comedy", and the fart was so painfully long and uncomfortable, and it's made worse by the atrocious character designs. Ugh!
@@cintronproductions9430 I should try the Bad Guys. I hear it's good.
They're really catering to horny furries with the fart scene
I grew up with my grandma who still loved Sunday newspaper comics, so I'm familiar with Marmaduke among others. I can say with confidence that it was in the running for worst comic of the bunch.
Can we all agree that the live action version of Marmaduke is the best rendition of Marmaduke?
Netflix just cut like 170 animation jobs and canceled three projects. They went from "We want to compete with Disney" to "Wow animation is hard!"
One thing I can't wrap my head around is the character design. Some characters look like their either from a CGI pizza commercial from the 2000s, the 2019 Addams family, or an illumination movie.
Goodness this movie hurts my brain
Those actually look better; this looks like some sort of early 2000s shitpost that went wrong.
The way literally all of the female characters are designed actually makes me want to vomit out of my eyes.
The character design is all over the place
It kind of reminds me of the Gaturro movie from Argentina
It’s the stick limbs for me :/
To a lesser extent, this is exactly how I felt after watching Lightyear. Pixar's animatien was gorgeous, but everything else was confusing. Buzz was boring, the plot holes were big enough to crawl through, and the "twist" at the end was both ridiculous and unnecessary.
I hope he reviews "Sealed with a kiss" if he hasn't already!
That was a childhood classic for me, I remember playing it on loop.
Marmaduke is a bunch of non-sequitur comics, usually one panel. Him being a big dog is 3/4 of the jokes and he most certainly never talked. His family definitely loved him, but he got into a lot of highjinks.
If I was to make a movie based on Marmaduke, I would probably have the overarching story be about his human family. Maybe they are moving, or having trouble with relatives. Marmaduke is a bit like Dennis the Menace - he never means to be in the way or do anything wrong. The skit humor would be able to come out of the situations - maybe being left with a relative while the family is working on moving. Maybe they have a kid who's being bullied at school, and Marmaduke accidently freaks out the bullies. There's a lot of things you can do with it, but you have to be creative enough to actually pull it off.
*casually sits on bully*
This is giving me the same vibes as Norm of the North - a weirdly cheap movie with meh big stars that has weird character designs and movement, weird humor, weird pacing, and a story that could ONLY make sense if your blood was replaced with pure liquid meth.
I don’t have blood and it still don’t make sense
At least the animation feels more squash and stretch to me, compared to that horrible crappy movie (and its sequel too).
At least Ratatoing is better to look at than Norm of the North.
I remember watching the Romeo and Juliet but with seals movie as a kid. I think it was also on Netflix. I didn’t and still don’t know if it was my kid brain putting a filter on everything or if that movie was actually as amazing as it seemed
2:20 this looks so much better in 2D
I'm pissed Netflix cancelled Wings of Fire before it was even released. It's about a war between dragons and one of those books series that's made for younger audiences but has a lot of darker stuff in it. Like one character dies by basically getting acid on his eye and head that seeps through his skull and eye socket. I was curious how they'd adapt all that.
I’m absolutely infuriated by them cancelling the WoF show. I read the whole series and a spin-off book, and now I’ll never get to see it animated
@@maureenobrien4968 _Maybe_ we will. It was apparently being made by Warner Bros and ARRAY. There is also a petition to resume production, with 6039 having signed it.
@@vilmublues752 I came up with voice actor ideas for most of the arc 1 characters:
Dane Cook as Clay
Scarlet Johansson as Glory
Spike Spencer as Starflight
Linda Cardellini as Tsunami
Ashly Burch as Sunny
Olivia Coleman as Scarlet
Eric Bauza as Deathbringer
Clancy Brown as Morroseer
Stephen Merchant as Webs
That’s it so far lol
@@maureenobrien4968 I always thought the gravity falls cast would be fun to shove in there, my ideas being jason Ritter: turtle, kristen schaal: peril, alex hirsch: six-claws and maybe qibli. also thought wendie malick for blister and zeno robinson for starflight lol
AAAAAAAAAH I WAS SO EXCITED
I remember when I was a kid I could go in a store with 1$ and come home with 3 bags of chips 2 candy bars 6 packs of starburst and a cold drink.
Nowadays they got cameras everywhere
Good job man, too bad bots assaulted you
On the song bit at the start a add came to save me XD
Hi Saber, will you ever consider taking a look at a show called "Moral Orel"? Its very underrated but a great show i used to watch growing up, and I think you would enjoy it.
Netflix is not making a lot of good decisions regarding their animations for the most part. My hope is they don’t fuck up sonic prime but I’m pretty sure Sega probably won’t let that happen.
@UCvmRKqbMzx9Blt5nNjm9JiA Sonic prime is in good hands obviously you never saw the teaser trailer
*Netflix is the definition of "Quintity > Quility". Obviously we would prefer "Quality"*
Netflix always finds a way to screw people over.
Hm
@WiiManElite I mean, Sonic has had a pretty good track record when comes to animation.
this animation makes foodfight look like a divine masterpiece by comparison
Bro the BOTS 💀
I saw the trailer while on Netflix and my first thought was: “Why does this look worse than the stuff I can find for free on TH-cam”
That's exactly what I thought as I was watching this review and the original trailer.
At least foodfight has funny characters to laugh at how horrible their designs are. This is just bland trash.
@@DrawinskyMoon Unironically they have a better Dog design then Marmaduke
I have one thing in this movie I can respect.
In the ending they give the award to the dog that can literally open portals instead of the main character. I genuinely thought they'd just do the "wow you saved the day you get the trophy" but instead we got "I mean he can cast literal magic he's gotta win"
That actually was kind of nice, but everything else was terrible
The live action one isn’t to bad! Holds a special place in my heart cuz it was my favorite movie from childhood, don’t diss on it so harshly 😂 (LIVE ACTION NOT THE ANIMATED)
You can't avoid it Saber. Chip and Dale must been seen. it must be reviewed. Ugly Sonic demands it.
oh my god, I see these bots everywhere
The visuals make me incredibly angry. I cant even explain it. Every character is so ugly. Its like they’re trying to go with the Despicable Me style, but failing miserably. Even the cover art is disgustingly disproportionate. I hate it. I hate this movie.
I thought the cover art looked nice like something you'd see in a children's book and great danes especially have lanky weird proportions irl. The CGI animation though, yeah god awful.
It reminds me of the Addams Family animated movie’s animation style. The Addams Family were the most NORMAL looking, when the whole point was supposed to be that they were “odd.” All of the townspeople had skinny bodies with big heads and ugly faces.
The characters look like Judge Doom after he got run over by that steamroller in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
This doesn’t make any sense. How on EARTH did Netflix manage to go from Pixar to Video Brinquedo in a few years!?!? Well, this film certainly knows how to answer to that
I’ll never forgive Netflix for cancelling The OA just so they could make room for whatever the hell this is.
The Secret Life of Pets had a WEIRD ripple effect on the 3D animated movie industry. This movie is a pure result of that wave. There is no other reason it exists other than execs pointing to Secret Life of Pets and saying "just make something like this. *JUST DO IT GET OUT OF MY OFFICE*" We're STILL seeing new releases trying to be that movie -- I mean, that upcoming Superpets thing WB is making?
I didn't even hate The Secret Life of Pets, like yes it was very bland and uninteresting, but I can't really say there was anything especially offensive about it. At least it looked decent enough, if uninspired.
Hollywood loves to follow fads and trends. Just look at how studios are copying Sony's animation approach for Into the Spider-Verse and The Mitchells vs The Machines.
I'm still mad about Sing biting the shit out of Cats Don't Dance.
(I know this is about Secret Life of Pets, but it's on theme with the bland-ass animal movie trend that's happening rn.)
Can someone please explain to me why Kevin Hart, The Rock and Keanu Reeves are starring in SuperPets?
Oh god no... I remember LOVING the original Marmaduke live action movie as a kid but I had no idea Netflix was gonna ruin my childhood again 😭
Ruined childhood?
Original wasn't that good either 😅
@@tanyaharmon6739 It was still leagues better than this. The live action Marmaduke may be stale bread, but at least you can still eat stale bread. But the animated Marmaduke is worse than stale bread, it's not even food anymore, it's a turd, a turd full of dead maggots!
Your childhood was probably fine. You know what really ruins childhoods?
Child abuse.
Bullying.
Institutional racism and queerphobia.
Bro I forgot about Maramduke movie i never watched it tbh
I remember watching the first trailer im the new and hot section back when it was like 2 months away from coming out and i said, out loud, "oh this is gonna have a single digit score wont it?"
For a second, when you played part of that credits song, I thought they were gonna play “Da Biggest Bird” lol
Netflix cancelled the Bone adaptation for this trite? Infuriating.
Before you comment, yes, I'm aware that this movie isn't the direct reason for Bone's cancellation. I just think it's a funny coincidence that this garbage was released on Netflix shortly after they announced that they won't be going forth with the Bone adaptation.
Bone was gonna get an adaptation? The one with Thorn and the bone creatures and the evil locust villain? How the heck was that cancelled? I remember reading that as a kid and it was awesome! It would’ve been dope as heck to see that in animation .o.
@@saffi_taffi Yep, that one. Netflix acquired the rights for a Bone adaptation back in 2019, but had to delay things because of the pandemic. Then, back in April, they suddenly announced that they were cancelling the whole thing, with the reason being that they were reducing their animation department due to the recent loss of subscribers. It’s extremely frustrating because I feel like trash cartoons like Marmaduke will only just make more people cancel their subscriptions, whereas something like Bone would’ve garnered a lot of attention (and people were already interested when the original announcement was made, so I think the adaptation would’ve been successful). They’re just digging their own graves by this point.
I dunno… considering how poorly Marmaduke was treated, maybe it’s for the best that the Bone adaptation fell through. It’s a pity Netflix can’t get their act together and just produce… I don’t know… GOOD CONTENT that will attract new subscribers and retain the old ones.
@@mattpyson6181 Netflix didn't create Marmaduke, though, they just distributed it. As far as I know, they had nothing to do with the actual production of the movie. I wouldn't say that Marmaduke's failure is due to anything Netflix has done, since I think it would've failed no matter who distributed it. My complaint mostly focused on how Netflix seemingly has no problem with showing crap from other companies, yet screws over their own departments when they have something that could potentially be great.
i am not okay with this got cancelled but this shit is given the chance to be produced. infuriating tbh
I can definitely see a "What's Ruining Netflix" video happening in the future. Oh yeah, and this animation just looks like someone made a Marmaduke-themed mobile game and forgot to tell the people making the ads that it wasn't supposed to turn in to a movie, so they just sorta decided "F it!", did a complete 180 and decided this was their project all along to cover their butts in hopes no one would notice... Oddly specific, I know, but that's the vibe I got out of this: this animation is just atrocious. Like, look, I get it, animation is hard, especially when dealing with 3D models, but when you fail that hard at layering...I...don't really know what to tell you. :/
I saw you mentioned that one Romeo and Juliet adaptation with the seals, and I vaguely remember watching that once when I was younger
I actually enjoyed this movie because I was making fun of the entire film with my sister. For me, it was so bad and bizarre that it’s good.
Also regarding Netflix, it’s concerned how they’re starting to prefer quantity over quality. I can’t understand why Netflix all of the sudden wanted to make decisions that will kill their company.
I remember watching the older Marmaduke from years ago, and young me thought it was the best thing ever
Damn wtf, there’s a cyborg bot
Nvm now it’s a saberspark ripoff
Yeah

Finally it's here
Another great video Saberfart. Marmaduke is one of those IPs like “little Lucy” or “Dennis the menace”, where they kind of can’t be revived. There’s not enough personality or brand recognition.
Marmaduke can work in the modern day if they made it about a dog that went viral on social media for its humanlike actions instead of this monstrosity.
@@ahniandfriends123 no offense but that doesn’t sound like a very good premise. That’s the kind of idea they probably would make to try and “appeal to the kids”.
@@ahniandfriends123 Didn’t Disney do a show using that same concept called. Dog With A Blog? I haven’t seen it so don’t know if it’s good or not, but I saw it advertised.
@@ahniandfriends123 In the actual Marmaduke movie, he went viral because some girl in the family recorded the giant pool splash and uploaded it online. THAT is the catalyst for the plot.
@@TheVanishing87 dog with a blog was godawful
Hey Saberspark been a fan since 2019 never regretted it! Love your work! You should do a video titled “What ruined Shark Week?”
This movie is a fantastic representation of
Netflix adaption:
I will admit, I'm actually cool with the photos in the world being 2D. It's a little bit of a mindf*ck, but it's kinda fun trying to figure that out? I've seen other movies do it over the years and there's something oddly charming about it. Everything else about the movie is absolute garbage, of course.
A show that did it REALLY well imo is troll hunters. CGI but all the photos are cute 2d that looks almost like concept art. A very different style but it makes sense in a way. Arent pictures 2d representations after all?
I like it when it appears in something based of something with illustrations and the pictures are the illustrations.
Ain’t gonna lie, I adored the 2010 one when it came out. I would watch it all the time. I especially loved that one of the dogs was named Bosco, since one of our dogs at the time had the same name.
This movies just makes me want to watch it again.
[Edit]
My search for the 2010 movie has led me to various Twitter accounts roleplaying as the dogs from 2014. Seeing someone call a dog “hot” makes me scared.
lmao welcome to twitter
I love how they call it "Marmaduke 3D" like its some 90s videogame sequel
My friends mom turned this movie on randomly once, just remembered this movie today and searched it on TH-cam to see if it was just a fever dream only I had lmao
*NETFLIX:* Cancels upcoming cartoon shows that have potential
*ALSO NETFLIX:* "Where are you guys going? We got Marmaduke!"
Netflix is making very horrible decisions, and I fucking hate them for it
I can't think of a movie I enjoyed less while watching. The plot threads were all over the place. I ended up just watching and realizing the animators had no idea how to do legs. Look at them they just bounce around, they have better leg movement on early South Park
They have better leg movement in Toy Story, a film that came out almost 30 YEARS AGO!
It should interest you to know that one of the pioneers of animation was Winsor McCay, a newspaper cartoonist. And one of his first animated films was an adaptation of his own newspaper comic strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland”!
Love the vid, excellent commentary
...but I am clawing at the walls for a potential Seal'd with a Kiss vid!!!
Its sad when the animation is better in the credits than the entire movie combined
It looks like O-mation Nicktoons (such as Jimmy Neutron & Barnyard), but in the Nicktoons' defense, at least they were made when CGI was much more expensive and newer AND they had a style that aged BETTER than this, because the stories actually made sense and had good comedy.
This Netflix "movie" looks like something you'd see in a early 2000s shitpost, and I do NOT mean that in a good way...
OMG YES! i was hoping you'd do this video, i ranted for 2 hours to a friend over this movie and its god awful script, its TERRIBLE animation and its crappy jokes this entire movie is a hot ass disaster and shouldn't have ever been made tbh
the characters were designed poorly, it was like straight out of clown college i skipped parts of it just to see if it got worse and it GOT WORSE every second
you should 100% do chip and dale its not as.... horrible as i thought it would be heck even gave me a few chuckles
i'm sorry about your puppers :(
The women in this movie have hips that could put Claworine to shame.
How did your friend reacted to your rant
I've been curious about Chip and Dale. I loved Rescue Rangers as a kid and one of them (I don't remember from the previews) having a procedure to make him CGI could have been funny if done right. It looks like a movie that could be ok or could be AWFUL. I'm glad to hear it's not as awful.
I'm disappointed that Marmaduke is this bad. Again another movie that could have been ok if the script and animation had been good.
I watched Marmaduke (the Netflix adaptation) and realised how jittery the animation and how the characters moved around. And I completely agree that this film is all over the place, like seriously. You have already covered this, but, there is a scene where Marmaduke travels around the world in order to prove him self to the dog trainer. Then he goes back to the trainer and the trainer isn't impressed. That whole thing was wasted and they changed the plot. What a movie.
Ye they took the netflix adaptation to a whole other level
