    Hey there Diva, current employee at Walt Disney World here…. Everything in this movie is something our parks REALLY try to avoid. If we have audience participation, it’s from the guests who WANT to join in on the action. Or if it’s spontaneous like monsters Inc laugh floor, it’s very brief. The costumes for characters have a certien design element, like Mickey is normally smiling, but the way his head tilts, one is for pictures and others are nuteral… and on top of that, we never try to dumb things down for the kids. We try to make kids and adults feel special and included, but never in a condescending manner. I saw a kid talk to Alice about having Tarts, and not only was alice in character, she was acknowledging the kid’s feelings and making sure she wasn’t condescending. As for the non talking ones like Mickey, they can be little scamps at times but it’s never in a mean or threating way.
    Basically this film is a good teaching tool for new Disney people. Basically whatever you see here, do the oppsite of that

    "Pixar always has the triumph of good over evil, but why does there have to be evil in the first place?"
    There doesn't have to be evil, but there has to be CONFLICT. Characters want something BUT are being kept from it through external-forces, an individual acting against them, their own mindset, or an entire society. This is storytelling 101.
    The biggest hurdle the Oogieloves had to overcome was a milkshake-contest. The Barney movie wasn't this childish, holy crap.
    I think the "why does there have to be evil?" thing is because Kenn is a marketing-guy and doesn't want to get sued or get angry-letters from parents.

      I never had kids myself, but I have a number of great nephews and two great nieces (one of whom was born earlier this month), I know from experience that it takes a long time for toddlers (my oldest great nephew is turning six in September) to process emotions constructively. Meanwhile they are learning that there will be conflicts (with siblings, parents work schedules, etc.) and that the world doesn't completely revolve around them. The notion that life isn't always fair (and that bad things happen to good people) comes earlier than you think. That's why stories and animated features (like, say, Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story) have been popular for years now. So kids growing up can learn how to deal with conflict.

    Kenn Veiselman's mealy-mouthed "Why is there evil in stories? Why can't it all be nice?!" argument is infuriating, and really goes to show what an embarrassingly clueless hack he is.
    Now, are there kid-friendly movies with no actual villains? As much as it pains me to say it, yes, there are. There are no major villains in the "Winnie the Pooh" cinematic universe (there were some VERY mild baddies in the 80s animated series, but that's it) or in "My Neighbor Totoro". In "Pollyanna", our heroine has antagonists, but they're not evil, just flawed and misguided.
    The massively crucial differences?
    1. Stories that grab your interest with no major villains or antagonists are the exception, not the rule.
    2.The aforementioned films have no villains... but there ARE conflicts. Amidst all the mild whimsy, Pooh and his friends have to learn valuable morals like moderation, cooperation, kindness, and tolerance. The townspeople in "Pollyanna" (especially her aunt) are made to realize how wallowing in negativity isn't the way, and that Pollyanna's optimistic philosophy has altered their lives for the better. "Totoro" only has one real conflict, but it's a doozy: a potentially fatal illness that might take the girls' mother from them.
    Maybe all stories don't need evil, per se, but there DO need to be stakes. There HAS to be a reason for us to care what's going on.
    Annoying, one-note characters dithering around on a lame-brained quest with no conflict, no themes, and no arc for 90 minutes would even try Donna's patience!

"Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" (and its spiritual successor, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood"), is very low-key and gentle but still deals with conflicts and are honest about feelings like anger, sadness, and fear. It speaks to the inner lives of children in a way that this movie can't begin to understand.

      The book version of Alice in Wonderland has a very conceptual “villain” when you think about it and it actually isn’t the Queen of Hearts like everyone claims as it is explicitly explained that “off with his/her/their heads” isn’t actually a threat and no one is actually being killed and for all we know it could mean just getting a haircut. Everyone seems to forget that absolutely nothing in Wonderland is the same as it is in the real world and anything is possible down there. The villain is actually the concept of living a life full of pure chaos and nonsense and that you need rules in life in order to not be living in a constant state of confusion and frustration. Alice is constantly getting annoyed by the wackiness and backwards society of Wonderland that she keeps trying to make sense of it all and enforcing logic to everything that happens which doesn’t work.

      ​@@MusicalHell I agree with you but, say you say what you will about country bears and how it was not your favorite thing at least it was not this .at least to me it was not boring and I enjoy it but I don't love this, this is a insult to Pixar and disney movie animated series and the fact that a guy who was a executive on this movie and did not understand what's a villan is is an insult to intellectual brains that gives us stories in fairy tales and sci fi stories is a slap to the face . We have Luke Skywalker a hero and he was able to get his father to go back to the light side of the force . He does even the guts to face the emperor who is in fact the real villan of star wars even in the new bad ones and I think Vader didn't like the twist . The guy who was Darth Vader didn't like the twist and that's saying something. Even though I don't do musical movies but will watch them .this movie we both agree stinks and it doesn't know how creepy it is and all the celebrities are not used well . I rather watch all the disney animation ones and the Jim Henson Muppets 100million times then see this of vomiting teletobes number 2 regents . To me if I rate this movie ,I give it a 0 % on 100million scale.

      3 year olds can't really go to the movies by themselves. They can't drive the car or take the bus to the theater, they don't have any money, and I sure as hell wouldn't trust them running around unsupervised anywhere, let alone a theater. So they have to throw in something to get the parents interested. Usually, say something like Sesame Street would put in a bunch of parodies or sly, snappy dialog, or some general appeal to their younger selves. This threw in something not even smart or clever enough to call itself a dad joke. At best, something for Back to the Future completists that have to see EVERYTHING with Christopher Lloyd in it.

The celebrities don’t want to be there, the guys in the suits look miserable, the suits themselves are butt ugly, the humor falls flat on its face, and the camera angles are awful! It seems although a lot of talent and budget went into this film, it doesn’t know who its audience wants to be. Because the kids have to have the parents take them to see this movie and sit through it with the children. Such a waste of Christopher Lloyd and Clorice Leechman 😔
    They wanted to make a Teletubbies movie, but the director couldn’t get the rights, so he made his own type of movie. Which, is almost exactly what happened with Baby Geniuses as well. Bob Clark wanted to make a Rugrats movie, couldn’t succeed in getting the rights, so he rounded up a bunch of people who had worked with him previously or had wanted to work with him, got himself some 40 babies, and made a movie. And 25 years later, nobody remembers any of it.

All that changed after Pennies From Heaven, where MGM were able to dictate terms and prevent the BBC from showing the original series again. This eventually led to the BBC starting their own film division so if anyone wanted to make a film based on a BBC property, the BBC could at least have some say and a piece of the cake.

    The funny thing is, Thomas The Tank Engine is one of the more under-sung gems, in the realm of solid children's entertainment that doesn't treat its audience like idiots - even and perhaps *especially* its American release as "Shining Time Station" (notorious film conclusion aside). Watch it to see one-role-wonder Brian O'Connor play a better ham AND a better character than everyone in Oogieloves combined, or Didi Conn, in what should have been an Oogieloves-ian "I haven't had real work since Grease" role, instead convince you that she was born to play maternal role models. It was a good lean into enthusiasm for its subject and quiet dignity.

I've seen several examples, ranging from just as humorous as this show - a mini-circle for people who stick gum on the undersides of tables - to very serious - a new addition to the Circle of Violence for those who caused violence through negligence; the punishment is being fused into a cliff face (as they chose to take no action in life, now they can't do it even if they want to) and its most prominent inmate is the UN Secretary General during the 90s who refused to intervene in either Rwanda or the Balkans.

    Kenn had his hands in Thomas the Tank Engine, but, judging by this movie, he clearly did not take any advice in regards to children's entertainment. One of the things that made the early seasons of Thomas special is that the crew chose not to talk down to their audience. Even Reverend Wilbert Awdry (author of The Railway Series, which Thomas is based on) has once said "You've got to remember who you're writing for. You're not merely writing for children. You're writing for the unfortunate people who've got to read the stories over, and over, and over again."

And not just because we're still very convinced everyone was high while filming the Krofft shows.
    Wait - that WOULD explain why THIS thing exists....

    The structure isnt based on a 3 act structure, its based on video game progression.
    "We need (x) amount of (y) items to save the day! Will you come on the adventure?"
    And then its just a series of events where they collect each item until they have all the items.

    Fun fact: This movie did so bad that it was exclusively released for purchase at Walmart. Yeah, you read that correctly. Freaking Walmart was the only store where you could find this movie, and that’s if you could find it in the bargain bin pile. 😂😂😂
    I was hanging out with our cousins at the time, and our aunt, for some reason, decided to put this on for the youngest one (the “target” audience). Yeah, he wasn’t even paying attention to the movie, while us older ones were just witnessing how painfully bad and upsetting the whole thing was, and wondering just WHY did anyone think this is theatrical material? More than anything we criticized just how ugly the costumes were, especially the Oogies themselves, how annoying the musical numbers were written, and just how stupid the movie was overall. It’s THE definition of a condescending movie, that thinks even kids are stupid.

    The ' Why can't it all be nice?' thing makes me want to roll my eyes into the back of my head for many reasons. One is that having a serious ( more or less ) conflict ( doesn't have to necessarily be evil ) makes a story easier to engage with and more interesting. It also gives the protagonists actual motivations.

    The problem with a movie like this is that the target age demographic is so young (toddlers) that the brand would need to be a phenomenon on its own before it could be successful in the box office. The toddlers this would appeal to are too young to just see a trailer and beg their parents to see it and remember that they asked to see this two minutes after asking. Toddlers have to be obsessed with a thing to be that consistent/make parents feel it's worth it, otherwise parents, who won't want to sit through this anyway, won't feel any obligation to take them to the theater. However, I think Kenn truly believed that his film would appeal to kids of all ages not at all understanding the differences in development, or that Pixar's target demographic isn't toddlers.

    This movie has confounded me since its inception. There is NO reason this movie could have been anything more than a failure. Preschool franchise theatrical movies are never successful, and not even Follow that Bird or Elmo in Grouchland, two heavy hitters from a MAJOR and influential preschool series. Barney's movie pretty much killed his franchise (thank goodness for that). And again, those are BIG names in the industry. Oogieloves looks like it's 15+ years out of date, looking like a public access Barney knockoff from the 90's with cheap mascot suits that couldn't even pass for a mid-level budget series. And that's even if they had a name presence outside the movie. There is a certain level of hubris to give them the movie introduction when this was barely low quality DTV series at best. The kind of video you'd only see at a close out store already in the clearance bin with like 5 layers of discount sticker on it. There was NO way this was going to be a name brand thing if they couldn't go the more reasonable TV series route first. I REALLY want it to be the case that they did try to sell it as a TV series, but no one wanted an ancient relic looking series when they have nice, clean, futuristic CGI models...also talking down to kids like they're complete idiots.
    So basically, already it had several things going against it. No name recognition, out of touch, and pandering to an audience more suited to home video. Already a bad idea? Let's pile on more. Encouraging 3 year olds to be hyperactive and express bad behavior in a movie theater (something they basically do already)? Check. I mean, they gave out WANDS! Light up wands to see the movie. It's bad enough the movie was annoying as it was, nay, the CHARACTERS were annoying as it was. Now we have a bunch of bratty little toddlers running up and down the aisles with big flashing plastic straws, swinging them around, while a bunch of obnoxiously precious named mutant Cabbage Patch Dolls sing off key with B and C listers doing their best impersonations of bad amusement park stage performers. What part of that was appealing to ANYBODY? It never felt like it was a "come and plan your family a fun day of entertainment" like even mid level kid's movies do. It was a "hey kids! Scream and cry and throw a temper tantrum until you wear your parents down and drag them miserably," situation. And even then, no takers. At BEST, this would have been a DVD next to the checkout register at a very small regional grocery store chain that completely out of touch Grandma would get for a 2 year old's birthday. Right next to the "Enchanting Tales" Disney movie cash ins.

Like the unofficial fourth movie. An undeniable, rightfully beloved classic and proof you can do a preschool movie RIGHT. But initial box office was depressingly low for such a well regarded film, even though it did its business on home video, and years later. Elmo in Grouchland couldn't even ride the Tickle Me fame to a decent Box Office. And like I said, Sesame Street is a world renown brand, and even it couldn't get little kids and their parents in the seats.
      So basically a no-name series that only had an obscure DTV presence (before the buy out and rename) , and then like one bad PSA )post buyout) wouldn't have stood a chance. It was hubris and stupidity not to make this a TV series first. Plus, I feel bad for Christopher Lloyd having to be in this. Dude was freakin' Doc Brown.

    Aside from Elmo in Grouchland, another movie for preschoolers that is basically a better version of Oogieloves is "Miffy The Movie" [sic], based on the children's book character of Miffy the bunny. It may have similar problems like the lack of an actual story (as it just revolves on Miffy and her friends going on a treasure hunt through the zoo) and talking down to its audience at some points. However, its stop motion animation is basic yet visually charming, and the characters have actual arcs on which they face their fears.
