For bad movie enthusiasts only.
It's probably safe to assume that a lot of the people reading this review had no idea that "Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure" even existed until a few days ago, when it suddenly turned up in the electronics department of their local big box store. Its theatrical release was very poorly marketed; I remember seeing only one TV ad, which protrayed the Oogieloves as though the viewer should already know who and what they are. Then it tanked at the box office. How badly? Well, it had a budget of around $20 million, and it only barely managed to break $1 million in earnings, making it one of the biggest flops in film history. Ouch. It will be interesting to see if it does any better now that it's available for home viewing.
I'm not sure if I want it to.
The bad movie enthusiast in me--who adores "Birdemic: Shock and Terror", "Troll 2", "The Happening", and movies made by The Asylum--wants everybody who shares my taste for the charmingly awful to see this...
My 3 year old & 1 year of love it!
We took our then 2.5 year old to see this movie as her first movie theatre experience. She really loved it in the theatre and begs to rent it from Redbox all the time now that she is 3. She watches it over and over with her little sister! There is no real educational value to this movie just for fun entertainment. I was a little bored watching it the first time but I don't mind it so much now.
Unknown Fabulous Movie
My 3 yr grand daughter LOVED this movie. Apparently it didn't do well and nothing else was marketed for long. I found it in a Redbox and rented.
After they went home I ordered this and they are still playing it. :)
