Which of the major animation studios is the worst? I think it's easy to agree that it's one of these three and not Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks, Laika, Aardman, Paramount or Warner Bros. Sony Pictures Animation has had exactly one film that was good and did well. Cloudy 1. The Hotel Transylvania movies are alright, not horrible but not good either. Same with cloudy 2. They've made lots of awful films, like Open Season, The Smurfs 1, 2, and The Lost Village, and the Emoji Movie. But a strength in their films has always been incredibly inventive visuals and imagery despite awful scripts. Blue Sky made the first Ice Age which was good. Then they made a couple of alright sequels, and two piss poor sequels. Rip was alright but the sequel was awful. Robots is awful. Horton Hears a Who is alright. Epic was eh. Peanuts was pretty decent. Their films aren't generally as poor as Sonys on a script level, but their Animation is pretty poor in comparison. My pick for the worst Animation studio is Illumination. Because unlike the two studios above, people like Illumination movies and they makes trucks of money. The first two despicable mes are decent. Hop, The Lorax, Minions, Pets and Sing are all hot garbage, and DM3 is pretty meh as well. Every film they make feels like it came from a machine. The animation is uninteresting and looks cheap (cause it is), the stories are awful, the characters are annoying, their movies end up with so much fucking merchandise it's disgusting, and people see them en masse anyway.

Blue Sky. The Ice Age films are terrible, in my opinion -- predictable, boring, and not funny (except for the Skrat parts). Rio was almost as bad. The only good film they made is the Peanuts movie. Illumination is okay. The Despicable Me films are entertaining, and even rewatchable (although I have yet to see 3). Sing and the Secret Life of Pets were okay. Haven't seen Hop or Lorax or Minions. Sony includes Aardman so that tilts them strongly to the lead -- Arthur Christmas and Pirates are excellent films. But if you discount those, the rest suck, placing them below Illumination. Surf's Up was clever, and parts of Hotel Translyvania were very funny, but the rest were pretty bad, some so bad I had no desire to see them, and I'm a big fan of animated films.

Why not include all options in the poll and let people choose for themselves? You're such a pussy, man. Don't be afraid if your favourite is chosen as the "worst".

Are we considering Aardman group in Sony Animation? Because otherwise they are clearly the worst.

For Sony the two great ones Pirates and Arthur Christmas are from Aardman. Goosebumps is surely not animation movie. Rest of their movies are good but none of them great.
