      Well, just to make it more simple and less shocking, just imagine South Park, but instead of the four boys, it was Mrs. Butterworth, Toucan Sam, Charlie the Tuna, and Tony the Tiger. Also, instead of using construction paper and computer animation, it was instead animated by using cheap, low budget, half assed CGI that looks like it belongs in the early 2000’s, and somebody just vomit all over it just for the icing on the cake.

      @Alina Del Rey However It's important to realize that While Shrek and most animated movies that came after it did have more jokes aimed directly at adults; there is effort put expressly into making sure kids don't get them. When Shrek sees Farquaad's palace and comments that he's "compensating for something" Kids will assume he's talking about how short he is; there's an alibi. Meanwhile in Foodfight the characters have actual sexual tension between them; even if kids don't get exactly what sex is they can still tell there's something weird going on based on how they're interacting, and that's really not acceptable for children's media.

      I suppose I might as well clarify. Cartoon is named "Kids against wizards" (2016), its making was sponsored by Russian orthodox church and Ministry of culture. It was shot based on a book by some con artist Nikos Zervas (he pretends to be a Greek, and his real name is unknown) and the book itself is about Spirited Russian Cadets who Fight International Cabal of Wizards led by Harry Potter himself, who generally spread Russia-phobia and indoctrinate Russian orphans to subdue Russian Spiritual Strength. Also, Evil Wizards are so Evil they teach kids how tear entrails out of small animals. With the help of Brave Russian Spetsnaz and Great Russian God Cadets and Orphans win, gunning down Evil with Russian Kalashnikovs.
      Film is somehow different though, but I can't say I'm masochistic enough to read and watch these things just to spot the differences. The film is 1,5 hour long, its animation is on par with airplane safety videos, it had been made for 5 years (2012-2016), and I have no idea how many moneys were stolen in the process.
      But you can watch it online for free, if you know Russian, that is. ua-cam.com/video/M0HEwEhpaZQ/v-deo.html

      I would guess that for legal reasons (like having spent the product placement money already) they were legally obliged to release it. Given that they made 70 grand, they probably did not make back the money even on those phone-quality voice reshoots etc, let alone manufacturing the 35mm prints if any.
      Wikipedia says this came out of someone buying the assets out of a bankruptcy of the production company. The other option is that there were contracts for the product placement that said it was payable upon release in theaters...

      One thing I've noticed is that there are a lot of "references" to the classic film Casablanca in Food Fight. (I've noticed this in retrospect after watching Casablanca). One example is the "sing-fight" between basically the nazis and the french, which was completely butchered in Food Fight. References to the lines, and the hardened person becoming a tough bar owner, a sly character who kinda works for both sides until they help the allies at the end. Quite honestly it's a lot more references to make it just a reference, but given the quality of them, it seems almost like terrible plagiarism.

      Xryeau _ Close but not quite. Originally, Food Fight had a completely different story all together. Many of the companies’ icons were important characters to the plot, but this all changed when the espionage occurred. Prior to that, the companies had fully agreed to have their icons appear in the movie and to promote the movie by making special promotional versions of their products to promote it (think a box of Captain Crunch cereal with Dex Dogtective on it or maybe with a toy of him inside).
      After the espionage, many companies became scared and had their icons removed, prompting them to rewrite the script several times around having those icons and completely reanimate entire portions.
      You can see some of what the original movie would have been like in its first trailer that had a different story, plot, animation, and even character designs. All of the rewrites and reanimations puts a lot of the movie into perspective

      Cynical Reviews You are correct, but follow the espionage, companies became scared and wanted out. However, by this time in production, the plot was dependent on a number of the icons as characters, so the crew had to rewrite and reanimate entire portions every time that one of the companies backed out.
      You can see some of what was before this all happened in one of its earlier trailers: ua-cam.com/video/81uIhu8qrrs/v-deo.html
