Animal Soccer World (2005 Video Game)
1/10
Down there as an all-time low for Dingo Pictures
4 July 2016
Dingo Pictures is like its computer animation counterpart Video Brinquedo, that all of their output is inept, derivative rubbish that is an insult to animation.

'Animal Soccer World' for anybody familiar with Dingo Pictures is somewhat notorious, and it is easy to see why. Not just one of their worst, but an all-time low.

As aforementioned in my previous Dingo Pictures reviews, it is hard to know where to start when there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and even for a studio with next to nothing worthwhile 'Animal Soccer World' is one of their worst. The animation is appalling, even for low-budget animation, the flat colours, very simplistic backgrounds and lack of detail and derivative, recycled and creepy character animation, and characters randomly falling into random and silent laughter for no reason at all. As well as a style, a very cheap mix between MS Paint and water colour paintings, that makes art of primary school children who draw and paint in half an hour or less seem more accomplished.

The inappropriately jaunty and heavily dissonant music always sounds misplaced and never fitting with what's going on, not to mention that it very rarely stops, actually sounding like it was composed and recorded on loop. The script is incredibly repetitive, awkward-sounding (none of it flows naturally) and juvenile that it will insult any adult is bad enough but even young children will feel dumber after hearing some of the dialogue here. The story, taking inspiration from numerous Disney films and blatantly ripping them off, feels stretched and narratively thin as paper, with incredibly plodding pacing, and is very disjointed and goes nowhere a lot of the time. The sequences with the soccer have nothing on the sheer fun and intensity of the one soccer match in Disney's 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'.

Characters are excruciatingly irritating, not a likable or interesting character among them, while the sound effects are bizarre and randomly placed and the voice acting is amateurish and cheap even by low-budget animation standards, often being annoying, poorly recorded, creepy-sounding and incomprehensible and even ill-fitting.

In conclusion, an all time low in Dingo Pictures' very dubious output. 1/10. Bethany Cox
