There were plenty of animals on display in movies this year. Here are the Worst in Show:
10) Simone (a.k.a. Simon as a French Adventurer) – “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked”. That subplot is ridiculous. What’s even more ridiculous is that the filmmakers had to hire another actor to voice Simon as Simone (Alan Tudyk – Matthew Gray Gubler voices reg. Simon).
9) The Beaver – “The Beaver” Leave it to Mel Gibson for giving us a puppet that didn’t help with his anger management issues – instead it just angered us.
8) Joe the Lion – “Zookeeper”. A waste for Sylvester Stallone when he could’ve been making another action movie instead.
7) Jacob Black turing into a Werewolf – “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Pt. 1”. Taylor Lautner delivering corny lines as an unrealistic werewolf (who’s blurry in the action scenes).
6) Luiz the Dog – “Rio”. Tracy Morgan is given absolutely no funny material in an unoriginal and disappointing animated adventure.
5) Simba in 3D – “The Lion King 3D”. Oh I just couldn’t wait to get those glasses off.
4) Jack the Monkey – “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”. His act stopped being funny several movies ago.
3) The Goose – “War Horse”. An unnecessary character straight out of a bad family comedy.
2) Spar the Dying Tiger – “We Bought a Zoo” – As if C. Crowe didn’t already have enough sappy storylines to work with – he needed a dying tiger?
1) Sven the Puffin – “Happy Feet Two” (voiced by Hank Azaria). The only good think about him was that he’s NOT a penguin.
