The Lizzie McGuire movie is the worst one that I have seen. However, I wasn't familiar with the tv show and therefore don't think I quite got the movie.

Aw, come on Laz, the first wasn't so bad. Sure, it was corny as hell, but it was mildly interesting, whereas the others were merely "let's let the dog play this sport now!"

On the plus side, if not for Air Bud, Kevin Zegers may not become what he is today...which is...well...it gave him the right kind of exposure and he's not known as That Air Bud Kid anymore.

I think it was. And I think they were all so bad, Disney should be fined for it. In fact, all studios should be fined for making bad movies. Starting now.

The fine shouldn't be as big as the one for Lazario who should get fined for being overly-critical of... everything.

Muppet Treasure Island.

I don't know why this movie exists. I shut the TV after 15 minutes.

As punishment for unruly children. :P

MTI had its moments, but is hardly on par with The Muppet Movie or The Muppets Take Manhattan (which is probably my favorite of all the Muppet films).

Erm ... "Cool Runnings"? Anyone? Maybe it was just that I watched it on a plane - TWICE! - but I definitely remember it as being reeeaally bad. Odd though, because you really shouldn't be able to go wrong with a movie about a Jamaican bob-sleigh team ...

Any movie you have to watch on an airplane twice would probably seem bad. Just a bad environment to be watching a movie in. Cool Runnings is a decent movie, not a classic but decent.

Muppet Treasure Island - come on it wasnt that bad. It was barely passable, but certainly not the worst Disney movie ever.

As for my choice, there are so many candidates I am trying to come up with some. I think it might be Blank Check for me. I am sure Lizzy McGuire and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen could give it a run for the money but I couldnt even bring myself to watch them.

Worst of the Walt Era may have been his last - Happiest Millionaire. Althoguh, suffering from cancer he may not have had a whole lot to do with it. Monkeys go home was also up there.

I have to agree with the person that said "The Kid". I'm glad I only wasted rental $ on this. It would have been a mistake to purchase it. It was a horrible movie and it didn't get resolved the way I had hoped.


Regarding Princess Diaries - in order to make the movie "G" rated they had to change the book. The books contain material I would not consider Disney movie material.
Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.

There are some that are pretty bad...

Summer of the Monkeys - This could possibly be one of my least favorite films of all time. The acting is horrible (the kids can't act and the adults try too hard). The monkey's aren't funny. But worst of all is that it seems like the running time goes on forever (but maybe that's because its so bad)

The Cheeta Girls - Does this count? Either way, this film is garbage. It makes me want to gauge my eyes out with spoons.

Iron Will - I agree with whoever said that you come off this film in a coma.

Well, alright. I'll tell you what live-action Disney movies that I hate:

"Holes" - That movie was crap. It's not good. It's the worst adaptation ever. You call this an adaptation? Read the book and don't see the movie.

"First Kid" - Never seen it, but it's bad. If there's a sequel, it'll be like "Evan Almighty."

"Mighty Joe Young" - No, I like the film. I just hate the ending, because it was so tragic.

"The Princess Diaries" (All film series) - Hated it.

"Tuck Everlasting" - Not good. Dunno why, but it's not good.

"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" - It's that stupid to be a movie. Why is it a movie anyways?

"Freaky Friday" (2003 remake) - I never saw the whole movie, not that I ever want to. It sucks, so don't bother the remake. See the 1976 version. It's alot better than the remake.

"High School Musical" (All film series) - What's so high about these films? Nothing.
