Rip Off Disney Movies (aka Phoenix Games)
This is hurting even as I’m typing this. For years I thought I lived in a world where it was simple, Disney rules the universe. I mean who hasn’t seen a Disney movie. I’m the worlds biggest Disney fan. I’ve seen pretty much every movie they ever made (or failed to make). They are what quality animation looks like. Yes they’ ve had competition over the years (DreamWorks mostly), but lets be honest no one can compete with that monster. But of course with great success comes many companies who want to cash in the way I would try to perform plastic surgery out of my bathroom, cheap and profitable. This is where Phoenix Games comes in.
What you never heard of Phoenix Games before. Well it’ s simple, they make the shittest quality Disney Rip-Off. They way that this company runs is selling their “movies” on PlayStation games (it makes it look a game that Disney made). Their covers look like classic Disney covers with characters you know and love, but be warned any game that doesn’t have Disney written on the cover chances it’s not Disney (DUH!). Now let’s say you’re one of those blind and or not so sharp people that buys this gem of a what you think is a Disney made video game. You give this “game” to a loved one, a person you truly thought wow they love Disney anything and they love video games this is a perfect gift. This person is happy to receive this gift, even though they look at the cover and think it’s a little off, they think well I’m sure the game will be fun. When you leave their house later that day (after talking about what bull shit you want to think you talked about to another person) they decide to play this game. They put the disc into their PlayStation and they get a call. They answer the phone with a heavy breathing at the end of the line. They say “Hello”, no answer. They say “Hello” again, nothing. Just as they are about to hang up the phone, “SEVEN DAYS!”
Ok sorry, other movie in mind. So yea what this person saw on this disc is a cheap, badly dubbed, beyond poorly animated, terribly voice acting piece of a shit movie that clearly was trying make a quick buck off Disney. I first heard of Phoenix Games when Phelan Porteous (one of the many Youtubers I watch, love your channel if you’ re reading) did a review of a Lion King rip off called Lion and the King (man rip off titles are easy to make). So I decided to do some digging. Though it seem that Phoenix Games went bankrupted, they were based in England, the Netherlands and Thailand. They seem to a game developer, making cheap rip off games. I also discovered that they collaborated with a company called Dingo Picture who say they “specialize in animated movies”. So I realized well that the movies were made by Dingo Pictures and released by Phoenix Games (in case your wondering yes there are games, shitty mini games but I guess that’s Phoenix part of the Game). From the handful of movies I did see I could tell that this was not originally made in America. It was poorly dubbed and translated from their original German based cartoon.
Yes as I just stated I watched a handful of these movies, some were painful. One movie called “Snow White and the Seven Clever Boys” was the worst not because of the bad animation, bad voice etc. but because it had the racist animated thing I've seen in awhile (and this was released in 2007, that’s right 200fucking7) I’ll leave the link to that movie right here in case you want to watch it, it’s only 8 mins long and i’m hoping a lawsuit comes from this:

The best one of these terrible movie is Peter Pan. It’s the one that made me laugh the hardest. It’s less then ten minutes long, but it’s a worth a good laugh. There is only one person doing the voice, he does the voices for everyone and I mean everyone. The dubbing is the worst I’ve seen in any movies. There are moments were the characters are moving their mouths and looks like they are talking but no sound comes out. Man even Godzilla movies has a billion times better dubbing than this. At one point they say Captain Hook settles accounts, I didn’t know he was a banker (I guess that’s why he’s pissed off, bad investments). I don’t want to spoil this movie, well because I’m not like that. If your drunk one day, stoned or just bored I really recommend you watch it, you’ll get a good laugh which is what you need every once in awhile. I have the link for that below:

The final one I’m going to talk about was the rip off to 101 Dalmatians called Dalmatians 3 (yes the title is stupid and no there is no Dalmatians 2, just 102 Dalmatians which was a bad movie) This movie is different style of animation, it’s hand drawn unlike the other ones above which looked more digital. The movie is also longer at 45 mins, geeezzz. And there are a whooping two voice actors in it. This one is painful in the fact that it’ s boring at time and I just said to myself, there are only two Dalmatians and it says Dalmatians 3 (that’s also when I took another sip of my wine and told myself it was just a stupid Disney Rip off not the real thing). The story is about a group of dogs trying to get back a cat who is a bitch basically (hahaha I made a bitch joke in my review) This I would say is the one that put a little more effort into the production but that’s like saying Joel Schumacher made Batman and Robin look colorful (movie still a piece of shit) The link to this is here:

This is my warning, if you want to buy someone you love a Disney movie, make sure it’s a real Disney movie. Don’t let Donald Trump win, the more you know.
Down the road I might look at more of these rip off but we’ll see. Hope you enjoy this blog. It’s my passion, I love it and I hope you love it.
