    Worst animation I've ever seen in the theater.

    Even if you have never seen, you already realize that a movie is bad when there is no specialized criticism about the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, and when there are only 5 comments (6 now with me) in the IMDb, the majority written 10 years ago.

    Well, I'll be as sincere as possible: This film is insufferably, unbearably bad. One of the worst animation I've ever seen. I think only "Titanic's animated movies" and "Food Fight" overcomes this. I unfortunately watched it with my dear father some 10 years ago, in a period that I didn't have the habit of reading reviews on the internet before venturing into the theater. In short, my father lost his money and we lose almost two hours of our lives that no longer return.

    The story is so forgettable, the characters are so generic that one hour after the end, you will forget all about the movie. I can only remember a ridiculous scene in a generic amusement park (or something like that) and the ugly duckling turning teenager in a blink of an eye.

    Take my advice: preserve your time. If you have not watched this thing yet, feel happy: you have lost nothing.

    not bad

    there have been a few bad comments on this movie so far so here is something different, i enjoy the animated films and have been let down by some of the new ones as i think they are losing the plot and kids don't get them (everybody knows that more animated films are directed more to the adults and seems like they are forgetting the kids) This movie to me brings brings back the best a movie that both kids and adults will enjoy, it is funny from start to finish with jokes that kids will understand but adults can laugh at with a story line that will keep you entertained from the first scene to the last , i was not expecting much from this title but i got bored so i watched it and i am so glad i did its a keeper, im not going into detail as i will give story away but my advice is watch this or let the kids watch it either way you will be pleased.

    It was totally boring and no fun

    The movie was totally boring and no fun. I was not laughing much when I was seeing this movie. Even, the story was not at all. Only, when Ratso is crossing the frozen water, that scene was little thrilling otherwise the other scenes are not Comedy, thrill or anything. In some movies, the last scene will be awesome and cool, but in this movie, the last scene was boring and there was no thrill or entertainment at the last.So, this is was my another worst movie of the year. And some time only it is funny with the Ratso and that time I laughed a little. Animated movies are fun and entertaining, but this was not very Comedy or action or anything which is entertaining. So, I think the creators of "The Ugly Duckling and Me!" will do their future movies well and entertaining for the people.

    TI Guess his Movie Is Ugly

    Watched it, why bad animation, Too boring and very predictable

    Great spin on a classic tale

    A very heart-warming and kid-friendly film, brought up-to-date in terms of some of the plot twists and humour. When Ratso, a slick city rat, sees Ugly (yep, that's his real name), all he can imagine is dollar signs. He plans on exploiting the duckling at carnival sideshows. But, "the best-laid plans of rats and ducks" don't always work out the way we originally want them to. At the Toronto Festival, this was part of the pilot "Family First" series, an outreach of the "Sprockets" Children's Film Festival, so it was unusual but very refreshing to have so many kids in the audience. Their laughter was genuine, and the rest of us had plenty to laugh about as well (Got a teenager in your life? you'll love the scenes of Ugly's very rapid-onset 'puberty'). The animation is crisp and inviting, and the voices in the English language version were excellent.

    • Trivia
      The scene where Ugly hatches out of his egg and jumps onto Ratso's head is a shot-for-shot parody of the scene in Alien (1979) where the Facehugger jumps out of its egg and latches onto Kane's face.
    • Goofs
      In the credits where they list the songs and artists they have "Kieth Richards", it should be "Keith Richards".
