More targeted at films than TV really. (everyone hates bing)..

I've just had to watch through the Good Dinosaur..
I don't think any of us enjoyed it 😕

Eldest DCs Y2 birthday party: 17 6/7 year olds one Saturday morning at the Odeon watching 'Daddy Day Camp'. I took every one of those children to the loo at some point during the film and did not regret missing a moment. Truly truly dreadful, but the kids absolutely loved it!

I remember taking DD years ago to watch Thomas and the Magic Railroad

That’s genuinely one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. It’s badly acted and makes no sense at all. However DS loves it. Confused

Omg this made me laugh. One time I was very sleep deprived as my son and he's mum developed a stomach bug through the night, so I was up all night with them, then I couldn't sleep.
Anyway next day we was watching Charlie and Lola on cebeebies and it actually made me cry.
I was in floods of tears from what I was watching, I was so emotional it was unreal.
Thinking back it always makes me laugh.

Shark Tale. There’s something about that film that makes me wish violence on people (or myself). The first time at the cinema was ok because I fell asleep. The handful of times after have been a trial of fire.

ConciseandNice · 11/07/2018 15:17

I do love Thomas and The Magic Railroad though so who knows??!

positivepixie · 11/07/2018 15:22

Flintstones The Movie. Truly awful. I'd have thought Halle Berry knew better!

Trundle13 · 11/07/2018 15:22

The CBeebies Dr Ranj (Get Well Soon) D&V episode Envy

KurriKurri · 11/07/2018 15:31

Spice Girls the Movie - thought I'd died and gone to Hell.

And when mine were little MotherCare used to have a hideous thing for children in the shops called 'Jenny Tree' - a self righteous, twatty, talking tree.
I had to sit through an awful lot of Jenny Tree's drivellings. There was an equally foul male tree, but I've forgotten it's name. Jenny had a sort of deep sing songy voice 'Hu-llo - I-m Jeh -nee Treeeee.
Fuck off back to the haunted wood tree-bitch.

Twilight. I fell asleep during it and snored, which had the advantage that the girls took their dad to the sequels.

When they were younger, Rainbow Brite. My in-laws helpfully videoed all thirteen episodes AND made a backup tape. If someone whistles a couple of bars of the theme tune, it still gives me conniptions.

I remember taking my boys and one of their friends to the Pokemon movie, the theatre was packed I was bored out of my gourd. Hated every minute of it. I think I even nodded off a couple of times.

FooFighter99 · 11/07/2018 16:06

YooHoo and Friends (on Netflix) is by far and away the most annoying fucking programme ever conceived!! I fucking hate their stupid voices and ridiculous conversations - it has to be the worst thing I have ever seen

KittyVonCatsworth · 11/07/2018 16:36

Love Island. She’s 18 btw! Otherwise it’s bloody Baby fucking Shark by my DN 😬

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 11/07/2018 16:42

Angry Birds the movie....technically my niece and nephew made me watch it and usually I like the odd kids film but boy that was rough...no real plot no humour!

bookmum08 · 11/07/2018 16:47

Police Intercepters.
Or other Channel Five stuff with names like 'Worlds Greatest Car Smashes' or 'Dumb Criminals Trapped By Bad Weather'
(possibly that last one isn't real)

bookmum08 · 11/07/2018 16:52

Oh dear. I have just walked into the living room and she is watching Jeremy Kyle.
Oh dear.

HiGunny · 11/07/2018 16:54

Hop. Absolutely awful film.
You tube videos of paw patrol eggs being opened...oooh look another Marshall....

ChristmasFluff · 11/07/2018 16:56

I can only presume that none of you have had to watch Pulgasari.

Although to be fair, the first time was just boring. The blinding hatred only came on at about watch number 5.

DeloresJaneUmbridge · 11/07/2018 16:56

The moshi Monster movie. Awful

isittheholidaysyet · 11/07/2018 16:56

Yu-gi-oh zexel
Or whatever it called.
WTAF is that all about?

Though I had blanked from my memory forgotten all about Thomas and his magic effing railroad!

alligatorsmile · 11/07/2018 17:07

Ogod, yes, Happy Feet! A film so bad it makes you want to saw your own feet off so you'll have an excuse which you can just indicate with a sweep of your hand rather than give utterance to its execrable name.

I mean, I like penguins as a rule. Never met one so far I haven't at least been civil to. But that lisping monochromatic little gobshite wants stamping on.

Elflocks · 11/07/2018 17:08

KurriKurri, I think the male tree was called Timothy.

goldenroad · 11/07/2018 17:09

@CrackerCrisp I feel your pain! We watch grown women play with dolls and unboxing of all sorts of toys

alligatorsmile · 11/07/2018 17:14

O lord yes, why do kids love those unboxing videos? With the disembodied hands? DD can sit and watch those forever, she has the attention span of a gnat for anything else.

Zioanna · 11/07/2018 17:15

Fucking Blippi. Horrific.

chrysalis7 · 11/07/2018 17:17

Sausage Party

An hour and a half of my life I will NEVER get back.

Bloody awful, yet my daughter said it was 'hilarious...'
