Critics Consensus

Although it may serve as a passing diversion for very young viewers, The Oogieloves fails to offer much more than several brightly colored examples of the worst stereotypes of modern children's entertainment.

San Francisco Chronicle

The whole thing runs about an hour too long: It should have been a TV show. The adventure's too big for the kids who would love it the most.

Rated: 1/4

If only there were something on screen to keep your adult brain from dissolving into strained peas.

A prime contender for most peculiar wide release of the year.

Final Cut on Film

Forget Saw, I'd argue this is the most freakishly disturbing outing of Cary Elwes career.

I am somewhat hesitant to attempt to describe this...peculiar concoction for fear of being accused of base mendacity.

All this because the head of the American distributor of the Teletubbies wanted to make a Teletubby movie. Somehow I doubt a the movie would be any better with the Teletubbies instead of the Oogiloves. Speaking as someone who remembers his childhood pretty well, even as a 5 year old I still would have hated these terrible annoying condescending dorks. And the whole idea of an interactive movie in theaters was a bad idea. But other media for little-little kids like "Sesame Street", the "Electric Company" or hell, "Mr. Rogers" didn't feel like they were talking down to kids. Kids media today, like this turd or "Barney and Friends" or "Dora The Explorer" really treat kids like morons. But this turd isn't even educational. How the hell did the Oogiloves get Christopher Lloyd, Cloris Leachman and Toni Braxton? I really don't care if I'm not the target audience. I don't care if this for basically toddlers. This is nothing but condescending pandering noise that no human being should see. This is no passion project this is a cash in on annoying pop culture kiddie stuff.

It's a pretty fun movie to children who wants to see a Big Balloon adventure like this, and the adults would like it for trying so hard to have a great all star cast.

I feel like I a just watched a David Lynch fever dream, but if it was a children's movie. I hope all the actors got well compensated, because they and I will need therapy!
