Was Rapsittie Street Kids Believe in Santa an Art Project
What on Earth Happened?
This "picture show" (and it barely qualifies as such) is incredibly and unbearably incompetent in its animation. Do you know RubberFruit? Information technology's a Youtube Channel that makes animated shorts using sets and character models from video games like Team Fortress two. Get look them upwardly. Watch like one or 2. Yep, now. I'll exist waiting.
Oh, you're back? Adept. At present, I can honestly say that the animation behind Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa is nearly 5% every bit good as RubberFruit. This animation is appallingly horrendous. This TV movie came out 6 whole years afterward Beast Wars, and manages to wait about twoscore times worse than that show. The character movements are all uncanny, and in that location are a ton of animation errors.
I wish I could say that the blitheness was the only trouble, unfortunately, nosotros've only just begun. The writing in this short is absolutely horrendous. The dialogue is on-the-nose, the morals are ham- fisted, and the jokes are all awful.
How about the characters? Nope, they're all atrocious, too. All of them accept cookie-cutter personalities, and they all seem to accept the depth of a half-drained kiddie puddle. The story? Don't make me laugh. The story is so generic it wouldn't even arrive onto Total House. The songs were likewise bland and uninspired. The pacing, the editing, the design, all of information technology was awful. And how well-nigh simple spelling errors? The elementary school board literally reads 'Striving for Excelence (sic)." How tin can you mess that up?! And the title, Rapsittie Street Kids - why?! It'southward revealed that they live on Rhapsody Street. Why would yous change it to a bizarre spelling? Is it because the main character "raps?" Why not call it Rapsody Street?
I haven't mentioned the phonation cast yet, and that's for good reason. This brusque has a star-studded phonation bandage, featuring five especially big stars: Jodi Benson (Ariel from The Picayune Mermaid), Greyness DeLisle (Mandy from Grim Adventures), Paige O'Hara (Belle from Beauty and the Brute), Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson), and Mark Hamill (The Joker from Batman the Animated Series). These voice-interim giants seem to sleep-walk their way through this movie, and though they weren't bad per se, they didn't exercise annihilation to elevate the curt.
So, what happened? How does someone manage to make such a horrible slice of junk? I can only assume that the director committed most all of his budget to his vocalization cast and was left with no coin for animators, writers, editors, or any kind of crew at all, so he went downward to the local orphanage and promised some kid that he would adopt him if the kid could help him make a movie. That'southward what I'm guessing happened.
Can I advise anybody to steer clear of this? Actually, I tin't. This film is so hilariously bad. It is honestly a total riot. I could not stop laughing during this short. Oh, and the memes? Aye, this movie totally deserves meme condition. Who could forget Great-Grandma's famous monologue at virtually the xx-minute mark?
Great-Grandma: "eokkvvaskidoriiaskdvfornevudit,"
Black Rapper Child: "Isn't that what Santa does? It was from my heart"
GG: "tch, uh, tchtchtchsee uh uh wdelei eisideiflabskpoeeinow,"
BRK: "She doesn't go it!"
GG: "Oh, seefadgtnodnfgChristmasss ohoho!"
Yes, as terrible as this moving-picture show is, it's hysterical. And so, yeah, I'd recommend it.

Worst Christmas Special Always
Why did this need to exist. I have seen people give bad reviews on this, and I can see why. This is the only special that is WORSE than the 1991 Christmas Tree special. This special is so horrible to watch. The animation's horrible, the songs make no sense, the characters all look incredibly hideous, and information technology never made me express mirth at all. I wish I was making this special up, only I'm not. Why does this special have talented actors and actresses like Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Luke Skywalker from the original Star Wars films??!! This literally aired on the WB. Why does this demand to exist??!! This special is rather.......no. Just..... no. Why does the WB need to air this??!! I detest this special then much. You call up Buddy'south Musical Christmas is the worst Christmas special of all fourth dimension??!! I don't recollect so. THIS is a meg times worse. STAY Abroad FROM THIS SPECIAL IF Yous WANT TO Alive!!!

Could it be the worst Christmas special ever?
If this is ever actually replayed on television once more, don't miss your chance to run across 1 of the worst Xmas specials ever. From the cheesy voiceovers, to the bloodcurdling 3D animation, this product is so awful, information technology's a christmas phenomenon that it even exists. Groove to the "Rapsittie" kids busting some phat rhymes, like:
"I'm a decorating master, no one is faster, don't you lot know, I'm a christmas tree blaster!"
I guess kids will watch anything, but I would endeavour to steer my kids clear of this steaming piece of festivity. On the other hand, boozer adults may notice it quite enjoyable. Ho ho ho!

I just can't.....
Words... At that place are no words....
This is some mid 90's, college level CG garbage.
This makes Food Fight await like high art.
I an having a hard time filling the minimum words as there is zippo expert to say. Information technology is like a outset cut story layout that was recovered from a studio going bankrupt during product.

...How DARE they go such brilliant actors to work in this travesty!?
I... I am beyond dislocated.
I am confused about how ANYONE in this production squad thought that the animation was passable, let alone adept enough to be shown on television. This is quite possibly the worst CGI I take e'er seen and I have seen "Food Fight"-Hell it makes "Food Fight" look like "Inside Out" it is that atrocious!
I am dislocated nigh how anyone could call up the script was good plenty in general. At all-time: Completely generic. At worst: Very banal, even aggravating at times.
What confuses me the most... is how. HOW did they become some of the greatest actors in the business? Paige O'Hara, Jodi Benson, Grey DesLisle, Nancy Cartwright and the very underrated (and underused) Walter Jones to proper noun a few, just the blood-red on this block: Mark Hamill... How Cartel they get such vivid actors to work in this travesty!?
The only thing I tin remember of is that all the budget went to getting these big name actors and they just had five cents left for everything else.
Simply... Scout the reviews about this garbage. Save yourself the effort.

An abomination in every sense of the word (0/10)!
Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe In Santa makes the Star Wars Vacation Special await like Vertigo or Citizen Kane! This special was, go this, made in 2002; and it looks like it was washed with pre-ReBoot blitheness software. Hell the animation's Then bad that it makes Foodfight's blitheness look similar something from a Dreamworks film.
The vox acting is the simply matter about this film that seems to have any semblance of quality to it; and fifty-fifty then the script is horrible just like everything else here. I love my Christmas specials, but THIS... this is such an abomination that I don't want to even consider information technology 1. Information technology's just a piece of trash that was made and had Christmas added to it to endeavor and brand it REMOTELY marketable! Well guess what? Information technology failed in doing that! Big time!
DON'T Watch THIS 'AWFUL' Flick!

Great voice bandage, terrible animation.
The Rapsitte Street Kids is a bit of an enigma. They suddenly appeared one Christmas back in 2002 and nobody seems to have heard of them. It had a lot people doing voices that you may recognize like Mark Hamil, Bart Simpson, the girl that played Ariel in "The Little Mermaid", the girl that played Belle in "Dazzler and the Beast" and the original Blackness Ranger from "Mighty Morphin' Ability Rangers". But mayhap they went a little over budget on getting these big name actors to voice their product because it certain doesn't show upward that way on screen.
It fact this looks more like an animatic. You know a ready for what the show is going to look like but they're eventually going to smooth it out and apply things like bodily fluid move, expressions and other things that we expect to run across in cartoons.
What I'm trying to say is, the animation in this is possibly the worst I've ever seen. This is worse than Food Fight! No, I'm not kidding. Nutrient Fight! actually had semi-fluid animation and backgrounds, and a who'due south who of C listing entertainers. But they still managed to make a improve looking product.
There are animation mistakes galore. From the fact that nobody moves properly. They tin can't properly breathing a walk cycle. They tin't evidence emotions. They can't bear witness movement, Things are too slow and physics don't seem to exist. At that place's also a guy who holds onto the same sandwich for practically the entire movie. Non wrapped up or in a bag. No. The actual sandwich is in his had from the start to almost the end even though he's walking through schoolhouse. playing exterior and searching through the garbage. It's incomprehensible but information technology plays an important office later on in the special.
And then no. Unless you have a morbid fascination with the horrible and the strange, give this one a pass.

I met God when I watched this
I thought i knew art. I idea i understood what being creative meant. Before I experienced this film, I thought art was an attempt by the universe to understand itself. At present I know that to be truthful. I tin can't believe humanity had to go 12,000 years without witnessing this cinematic masterpiece. Before, life was a void, night and meaningless. Now, that void has been filled with beatific joy. I will never sentinel another moving-picture show. Afterwards I publish this review, I will mucilage my eyes shut so I will never have to run across another lesser piece of fine art. Forget Citizen Kane, I only know Rapsittie Street Kids. You lot thought 1984 captured the struggles of the human psyche. You thought information technology grappled with the emotional distraught of honey and existentialism. Y'all thought wrong.

Felt so wrong but felt so right
This is a masterpiece of bad animation. A magnum opus of insanity. As I watched this I knew it was horrible. But that didn't stop me from enjoying it. I laughed my rear off when watching Grandma malfunction like a Tyler Perry's Medea robot was dropped in water and brusk circuiting. Ricky's rapping was heinous to heed to but I couldn't aid by express joy information technology. His desperate attempts to win over a shallow girl like Nicole reminded me of the Room. Both Ricky and Tommy Wiseau'southward character Johnny are pursuing the affections of women who don't respect them merely they do it never the less merely because they have a thing from shallow, attractive blondes. This is a railroad train wreck a beautiful railroad train wreck. Watch this movie if y'all want to experience what a remake of A Charlie Brown Christmas would look like if it was directed by Tommy Wiseau and Ed Wood.

Worst Movie of All Fourth dimension!
This moving-picture show is horrible. I honey Christmas, simply this picture ruined it. The animation is really bad. It looks like something from Imaginaria or whatever 3D blitheness from the early on '90s. How is the average rating i.5? It should exist 0.4, because this picture is actually actually actually bad. The film is so hard to sit through and spotter. I tried to watch information technology, and I stopped watching it at the halfway mark, considering information technology was so bad. It was probably trying to be skillful, but ugh! Information technology looks like they weren't. Now, Christmas is ruined!

lf you want a picture to make fun of
Well, here it is. l was in disbelief this movie was even a real production. The quality of this blitheness is so bad, a highschooler could literally practice a better job than whoever godawful visitor produced this. The plot is stupidly generic and too hard to pay attending to considering of how horribly composited the 3D was in the picture. Non to mention how bad the models wait and all the blitheness. A Christmas special that no one should ever take to picket, if you desire a motion picture to brand fun of, please by all ways, watch this movie. l only made it 20 minutes before 50 questioned the meaning of my life and what l was doing with it.

Why Was This Special Fifty-fifty Fabricated?
"Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa" is a TV special that is so bad, there is absolutely zip redeeming about it. Every single thing about this special, from the inexcusably half-baked animation to the meandering and unfocused story to the bad-mannered and clumsy dialogue, makes admittedly no sense.
If this film was fabricated by a first semester blitheness student as a final project, it would be serviceable and might deserve a passing class. After all, animators have to kickoff somewhere.
However, information technology wasn't 1 person who made this motion picture. Several adults worked on it, and someone at the WB! Network in 2002 apparently idea it was good enough to air in prime number time with potentially millions of Americans existence able to run across it. Either that, or a disgruntled WB! employee wanted to become themselves fired.
Why did this special air on American television even once? Who wrote it? Why did they write it? What caused so many experienced and celebrated phonation actors such as Mark Hamill, Nancy Cartwright, Jodi Benson and others to appear in information technology? Was the special fifty-fifty finished, or intended to be finished?
I don't know the answers to whatever of these questions. I do know that there was a potentially good story inside the muddle of besides many supporting characters, stupid dialogue, and animation that is so atrocious that no ane could possibly take information technology seriously, or even desire to sentry it.
The championship of the special doesn't even make sense. Information technology'due south called "Rapsittie Street Kids", which, judging from the way the nonexistent word "Rapsittie" sounds, would lead about viewers to assume that it is nearly a group of kids who are from the city and dearest rap music. I suppose that "Rapsittie" as well sounds like "Rhapsody", but putting together the words "Rhapsody" and "Street" wouldn't make a lot of sense either, or attract an audition of children at which this special was presumably aiming.
Instead, the special takes identify in what looks like an affluent suburb. Plus, only 1 grapheme, an optimistic dreadlocked boy named Rick E. (voiced by Walter "the original blackness Power Ranger" Jones), actually raps, or at least speaks in rhyme.
Rick E. is plainly the just blackness student in his school. You learn that his parents died and that he'southward living with his grandmother, but that'south nigh information technology. Information technology would have been nice to know where he lived earlier moving in with his grandmother, and the fact that he appears to be the just African-American boy in a largely white neighborhood is a solid foundation for a potentially adept story.
Rick E. also apparently has a vanquish on a rich girl in his class named Nicole, voiced by Paige O'Hara, all-time known for voicing Belle in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast". While O'Hara is a fine voice actress, it makes no sense at all that her character is supposed to be no older than a freshman in high school, yet she'southward voiced by a 46-yr-old adult female!
Anyway, Rick E. wants to give her a nowadays for Christmas, but doesn't have the money to practise so. So he decides to requite her a teddy bear that his tardily mother gave to him years ago.
While Rick Due east. seems like a sugariness boy, and his gift is plainly well-intentioned, whatever semblance of redeemable qualities you can extract from this special are lost when you lot hear the odd dialogue Rick E. says to himself out loud when coming to this conclusion. When deciding to requite Nicole his beloved bear, he says (and yes, this is verbatim what words Walter Jones speaks for his grapheme), "Momma, you gave me this bear cuz of honey. So I'll give this bear cuz of love."
Plain, an role player who is fluent in English read this line. I highly dubiousness the person who wrote it spoke English as a first language. The previous line reads like the writer entered a sentence in English, translated it on Google into Castilian, and then translated those Spanish words into Standard arabic, and so translated those words into Dutch, and so to Japanese, so Swahili, then French, then finally back to English.
However, that clunky English dialogue is nix compared to listening to Rick Due east.'s Great Grandma, voiced (allegedly) by Debra Wilson. For some reason, you can't understand a single give-and-take she says. Her character moves around like a robot, and speaks like a malfunctioning one. I know that Wilson is a funny extra, but I couldn't tell if, like Kenny in "South Park" or Groot from "Guardians of the Galaxy", she was intentionally speaking gibberish and it was supposed to be funny.
If it was supposed to be funny, information technology didn't work. Zippo in this special works, and I didn't even brainstorm to scratch the surface of the things that are wrong with it.
Some people say that bad movies are best for remaking, not adept movies. I retrieve that'due south absolutely true, and "Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa" is a candidate for a story worth remaking.
Every bit this special stands, it is horrible. Everything about it is awful, and children, if given the choice, would rather be gifted a box of coal for Christmas than this movie on DVD, and who could arraign them?
Fortunately, this movie never saw a DVD release, and probably never will. Information technology only aired in one case on Telly, and earned notoriety thanks to net purveyors of horrifically bad movies and Telly shows. I suppose "Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa" must exist seen to be believed, but you may wish to un-run across even five seconds of the horrific animation, and that's just for starters.

unsightly Christmas cheer
Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa, a musical Christmas Special marred past problems such as a generic plot, flat to the point of beingness stereotypical characters (e.chiliad. Ii of the kids are a hip black kid and a curt fatty kid with a sandwich in his hand), an emotionally manipulative Cliché Storm of a plot, very poor blitheness with downright-ugly character designs (especially for 2002), and to top it all off the wasted talents of actors similar Mark Hamill, Jodi Benson, and Paige O'Hara (this might be an indicator of where near of the budget went). Publicity for the special even had the gall to compare the characters with the Peanuts gang. How this ever made its way onto network Goggle box is anyone's guess.

I want expiry
This is the worst movie I have always seen. It looks like John Lasseter's crap stuffed into washing machine that got aborted. I take never seen annihilation worse. The blitheness is hideous, the story makes no since and freaking Marking HAMILL IS IN THIS!!!!!! The songs are annoying and the scene with the grandma where she says "fbrgekfvrgkba" (or other random s***) makes me think humanity is doomed. Over all, this moving picture is so ugly, dumb and just plain ridiculous you have to come across it to believe it. Only if you practice see it, make sure you are nowhere near anything you tin kill yourself with. I can but end this review the same awful style the moving picture ended: Shut that door!

Imagen if Microsoft Pigment fabricated CGI movies in 1940 and then you got a flick with the budget of bootlegged Pokémon Go toys just yet had astonishing vocalization actors. A moment of silence for the poor people who had to vox any character in this 6 feet under the barrel movie.

Great movie to brand fun of
Rapsittie Street kids: Believe in Santa is bad, really bad. At that place is no plot, the characters are bland and boring (except for Peachy Grandma). Worst of all is the horrendous animation where everything looks synthetic and ignores all laws of physics and beefcake. However this movie is really great to watch for a laugh. I've even turned information technology into a tradition with my friends to watch it every Christmas. Scout this if y'all're drunkard, bored, or actually high. You will capeesh this movie.
