Ozzy (2016) Reviews
Worst 2016 animation
There are no spoilers here as this cartoon doesn't really have a plot. This is a 2016 animation but I swear they have used a 3d game engine from the early 2000's to make this, I actually feel embarrassed for the makers of this. I have seen games with better in play graphics than this rubbish. Best to avoid this.
The less than good canine escape
Am saying this with a heavy heart. Animation was a big part of my childhood, and still holds a very special place in my heart as a young adult. A canine parody of prison films didn't seem such a bad idea and neither did incorporating a pertinent, relevant and important message about bullying. What a disappointment 'Ozzy' turned out to be. The advertising may not have been promising but there was enough to make me want to see it (wanting to see as many animated films as possible and the concept). So some may not have been expecting much in the first place, but to me 'Ozzy' could have been decent with the right execution. Will start with the good things. It starts off well and the soundtrack is catchy. Everything else fails spectacularly. And no nobody expects Disney or Pixar level when watching an animated film not made by them, that's just silly. One does though expect to see a film and animation that looks as though effort was put into them and the sense that those involved cared. That's where 'Ozzy' falls. There is certainly worse animation around. Video Brinquedo is a very good example. A very good case can also be put for Spark Plug Entertainment, Dingo Pictures and the CGI 'Swan Princess' and 'Alpha and Omega' sequels. That doesn't stop 'Ozzy', although the animation quality doesn't come close to the amateurishness of the above, from looking very flat and blocky, it lacks vibrancy and crisp detail and none of the characters look appealing. Nothing interesting or likable about the characters, with the conflict being as stock, hammy and sadistic as one can get. The voice acting doesn't fit these characters well, and some are hard to recognise (Rob Schneider especially). It's the script and story that doom 'Ozzy' the most, after a promising start once the conflict and prison story is introduced the film falls drastically downhill and never recovers. The dialogue is mundane and contrived, while there is nothing witty or clever about the prison parodying, which will go over the heads of most children and be far too predictable and clumsily inserted for adults, or emotionally resonant about a potentially good but forced message about bullying completely lost amidst the constant target audience and tonal issues. One seriously questions the maturity levels of the writers with potty humour so obvious and juvenile that even the most undemanding child will find their I.Q. dropping. Children and adults alike will be bothered by the tonally jarring and overdone darker elements where in particular characters are treated cruelly and the strands and types of characters being more suited to a film with a 15 or above certificate, where the writers clearly forgot about the younger viewers and tried too hard to provide content for adults and going way too far in that direction. The story lacks energy and is structurally and tonally disjointed throughout. In short, there is worse but this is a disappointing mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox
Just not very good
The animation would have been pretty amazing 15 years ago, but by today's standards it looks like this film was made by a bunch of 3rd year animation students. The plot is full of basic tropes and any attempt at humor was lost on my entire family. My 6 year old laughed once at the very end at a dog in a mailbox. The writing and cinematography fall flat. The script includes a lot of bullying in the form of physical and verbal abuse, and the overall "doggie prison" theme may be a bit dark for younger kids. There are lots of poop and pee jokes, as well as name calling. At no point during that hour and a half did I feel any emotion other than boredom.
Cult Classic
While this film may seem like a children's movie at first sight, it is actually much deeper than that. If you look deeper into it, you will see it is actually an allegory to the events of World War II, the Nazi regime, and its profound and damaging effect in Europe. I was surprised by the negative reviews it has received, but have come to the conclusion that the film is ahead of its time, and modern audiences are just not ready for it.
The only time I smiled was when I got up to leave
Animations have evolved into highly entertaining movies for both kids and adults. This movie was the opposite of that. I'm still trying to figure out how this made it to the big screen. The lack of dialogue made it painful to watch all the while ripping off ideas from great movies such as Shawshank Redemption and The Castle. The only time I smiled was when I got up to leave.
