Children's movies you (or I) despise

Hi, I just want to talk about some of the stuff I despise within children's films. Since I've seen there's not much talk here at all, especially not in this section, I've decided to spice up the topics here a bit. (Besides that, it's a little ironic that that section says "Anything You Like", yet it's about nothing but LGBT stuff).
Anyway, here's some of the children's movies I despise, those which I don't have a good enough platform to review with, with just over 1,000 subscribers:
The Little Prince (2015 movie):
Trite, ridicilous, whiny glurge. I could argue much the same about the book it's partly based on. The only good thing about it is the score (then again, Hans Zimmer is good with most of his soundtracks I've listened to, overrated as he is). For the first reason, it's littered with cliches and trite arguments and morals put together (like the little girl angirly complaining about the titular character throwing everything away and not wanting to listen to the guy's stupid story). For the second one, plenty of ridicilous things happen in the movie, like trying to show the girls mother putting her daughter in too high of an education for her - by taking her to test for an university. Putting her too highly is the point, but it does not justify taking it as far as that. As for its whinyness, that's the biggest problem. As an example, at one point, the "prince" claims to be one, but is laughed at, that being portayed as mean laughing at him, despite the fact that, unlike in the book, where it could be argued that he is the prince of the little moon he lives in, he's not the prince of anything.
Chicken Run:
Plot that partly rips off the Great Escape, unimaginative dialogue (that's why you shouldn't hire an executive to write something), sexism that's never given full reprecussion, since noone, not even in the media, wanted to call it out the biggest at the time (for example, that Rocky keeps calling Ginger "angel face", which isn't attacked for being sexist), arcs and events with no real depth or development (for example, the rats getting things for the chickens due to being promised eggs, with the former (all the meaning it could've had is explained) and Rocky rescuing Ginger, with the latter (it gives them no real change in relationship between them), plenty of implausible bull (eh, I can work around the "no-swearing" rule), like Mrs. Tweedy climbing up the rope and somehow it could not make the make-shift place go down to the ground.
Help! I'm A Fish
Bland script (all the meaning it could've had, like I said before, is explained (though it couldn't fix everything about that aspect), dull, two-dimensional characters (for example, Plump is a fat, normal-minded nerd. Only two traits and partly an nerd stereotype and no, his being portaryed positively doesn't change that), rather contrived plot (starting with the sudden tide coming up, whereas actual tides will build up gradually, then Stella being made to not see the different sort of label from what an actual lemonade bottle would have and the main guy somehow not hearing Plump telling him the starfish is Stella) and lame music (albeit meaning "Intelligence", with an weak melody, banal beat and boring set tempo). Frankly, it deserved to be the box-office failure it was.
Hopefully, you people happen to have some children's movies you despise, too. Having at least some is kinda normal, isn't it?
