Filmography

 * 1) Tappy Toes
 * 2) Chop Kick Panda
 * 3) Puss in Boots: A Furry Tail

Why Their Movies Suck

 * 1) Their movies cash in on the success of Warner Bros. and DreamWorks movies.
 * 2) Sometimes, the characters in their movies are downright annoying.
 * 3) Chop Kick Panda's protagonist, Lu, is annoying and a bad taekwondo teacher, and he sometimes is stupid for his actions.
 * 4) Tappy Toes is very pointless and nonsensical as the skuas care for a baby penguin. In reality, they eat or try to eat the young penguin and the walruses/sea lions are scared just because of foot tapping even though they do not live in Antarctica, and Pingo wants to fly, but penguins are flightless.
 * 5) The villains in their films are pointless.
 * 6) There was a disclaimer even though it is a cartoon on Tappy Toes, not live-action, which is completely pointless and unnecessary.
 * 7) The main villains are all taking place on a throne in all of their movies.
 * 8) Speaking of, many of their plots are formulaic as it boils down to the villains being set on a throne and they send the secondary antagonists before the protagonist saves the day.
 * 9) Several of their DVD covers contain false advertising as those movies make it seem as if those movies were animated in 3D, but the films themselves are all flash-animated.
 * 10) It even collaborated with Vídeo Brinquedo to make a product of four consisting of one of the movies Vídeo Brinquedo made and all 3 of the movies from their own.
 * 11) A lot of plotholes and filler in all of the movies.
 * 12) Awful voice acting, except in Chop Kick Panda.
 * 13) Cringeworthy and rancid dialogue.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The animation is good (expect in Puss in Boots: A Furry Tail) despite the movies being bad. It should be noted that the films were animated by Renegade Animation, who also worked on mh:besttvshows:Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.

Trivia

 * 1) They eventually stopped making movies and went to product making.
 * 2) * After they stopped making movies, they are now making exercise, meditation, yoga products, and how-to DVDs.
