Rulck: The Movie

Rulck: The Movie is the 2016 American 3D hand-drawn animated comedy film based on the GoAnimate television series, Rulck. The film was created by Cayby J, and was produced by GoAnimate Studios. It was the fourth installment in Columbia Pictures' GoAnimate Cinematic Universe franchise (mentioned Sony just for fun; they were never involved in these movies).

A sequel Rulck 2: The Movie will be released in 2019.

It's about Rulck lives on Las Vegas with his owner Nigel Culkin Howard. Even though he loves the Howards, Clifford starts to think that his enormous size is too much of a problem for them. Feeling unwanted, he runs off and joins the circus with his wife Cleo (voice of Cree Summer), her puppies and his uncle T-Bone. They fall in with a gang of other runaway animals, including a gorilla and the cat. The animals compete in a big contest in order to win a lifetime supply of Chumpy Yummies. Many people criticized it for not having a good plot, unoriginality and being a rip off of The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. The movie was made by Cayby J.

This was released on DVD and Blu-ray.

The movie was produced by GoAnimate Studios.

Reception
Go!Animate: The Movie received mixed to negative reviews from critics. The New York Times gave the movie 1 1/2 stars out of 5 saying, "Rulck: The Movie" is not the best movie I've seen, and I sure will not watch it again." The Washington Post gave the movie another negative review, giving the movie 0.5 out of 5 stars saying, "Rulck: The Movie is an unfunny family film that won't bring laughs and tears to your living room. Don't watch this, kids." The Chicago Tribune also gave the movie a negative review, giving the movie 1 out of 5 stars saying, "Packed with small chuckles and cheap laughs, Rulck: The Movie won't give you a single laugh out of a movie theater, because the theater will be empty. This is one of the worst films of 2016." GoAnimate user Muchacha has also expressed dislike for the film, calling the "techno gum rave" sequence in the film unoriginal, because it actually came from the Looney Tunes cartoon Box Office Bunny. The movie holds a 2% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 10/100 rating on Metacritic. The critical consensus is "Failing disastrously on almost every conceivable level - especially on the animation, writing, characters and humor - Rulck: The Movie is the perfect reason why cheap and terrible online animation shouldn't have a place on the big screen with dog days".
