Is Sony Pictures' The Emoji Movie really the worst animated children's film ever made? Despite the dire reviews - the film has an average score of just 6% on aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes - the surprising answer appears to be no.

Instead, the prize probably goes to the bizarre Foodfight!, an impressively amateurish effort directed by Lawrence "Larry" Kasanoff, a Hollywood producer who once dreamt of making his company Threshold Entertainment "the next Pixar".

First announced in 2000, Foodfight! takes place in a supermarket, and is set among the colourful, kid-friendly world of brand mascots.

We're not just talking fictional mascots either: in the movie, invented characters such as hero Dex Dogtective (who fronts a cereal line and is voiced by Charlie Sheen) rub badly animated shoulders with the real-world likes of Charlie the Tuna, a cartoon tuna fish created to sell, well, tuna fish, and motherly Mrs Butterworth, a US pancake-mix mascot. The UK equivalent would be a film starring fictional animated characters alongside Tony The Tiger or the Coco Pops monkey.
