Just perfect...

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Even if you have never seen, you already realize that a movie is bad when there is no specialized criticism about the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, and when there are only 5 comments (6 now with me) in the IMDb, the majority written 10 years ago.Well, I'll be as sincere as possible: This film is insufferably, unbearably bad. One of the worst animation I've ever seen. I think only "Titanic's animated movies" and "Food Fight" overcomes this. I unfortunately watched it with my dear father some 10 years ago, in a period that I didn't have the habit of reading reviews on the internet before venturing into the theater. In short, my father lost his money and we lose almost two hours of our lives that no longer return.The story is so forgettable, the characters are so generic that one hour after the end, you will forget all about the movie. I can only remember a ridiculous scene in a generic amusement park (or something like that) and the ugly duckling turning teenager in a blink of an eye.Take my advice: preserve your time. If you have not watched this thing yet, feel happy: you have lost nothing.

The movie was totally boring and no fun. I was not laughing much when I was seeing this movie. Even, the story was not at all. Only, when Ratso is crossing the frozen water, that scene was little thrilling otherwise the other scenes are not Comedy, thrill or anything. In some movies, the last scene will be awesome and cool, but in this movie, the last scene was boring and there was no thrill or entertainment at the last.So, this is was my another worst movie of the year. And some time only it is funny with the Ratso and that time I laughed a little. Animated movies are fun and entertaining, but this was not very Comedy or action or anything which is entertaining. So, I think the creators of "The Ugly Duckling and Me!" will do their future movies well and entertaining for the people.

there have been a few bad comments on this movie so far so here is something different, i enjoy the animated films and have been let down by some of the new ones as i think they are losing the plot and kids don't get them (everybody knows that more animated films are directed more to the adults and seems like they are forgetting the kids) This movie to me brings brings back the best a movie that both kids and adults will enjoy, it is funny from start to finish with jokes that kids will understand but adults can laugh at with a story line that will keep you entertained from the first scene to the last , i was not expecting much from this title but i got bored so i watched it and i am so glad i did its a keeper, im not going into detail as i will give story away but my advice is watch this or let the kids watch it either way you will be pleased.

Not really a bad film: children will appreciate some overarching lessons about human relationships if they're not too confused by the conflicting details.Irony is that what's perhaps most dissatisfying about this film is where it __does__ resemble HC Andersen's original fairy tale; the meandering from one apparently unrelated scene to the next in order to fill out the prerequisite playing time of a feature-length story.(Mild spoilers from here on, but I'm trying not to reveal much. Film is grudgingly recommended for children, but adults should be aware of content, and prepared to discuss with children anything that disturbs them morally or physically.) Main character Ratso appears to be buddies with a worm character, who then turns out not to have all that much to do with rest of story. Backstory of worm and rat is as developed as present tale of rat with baby "duckling" who assumes Ratso is his parent, yet the worm is unworthy of being recognized as extended family member, presumably because he is a worm. Rat's exploitive, selfish personality is allegedly redeemed by love, although for most of story he has shown no emotional capacity or learned skill for caring. He could have been friends with the worm, or at least in denial about needing friendship with the worm."Adult" aspects of storytelling seem to be tempered for younger audiences, resulting in implausibly denied reality: a predator is evil and deadly, then suddenly friendly. Another predator appears to have killed (a bit graphic here), and then victim turns up alive. Similarly another villain turns out not to have wanted to kill them at all.Sudden growth spurts turn the title "duckling" into different personalities overnight, again hearkening back to Andersen's original story wherein the character becomes a swan (we'll allow that spoiler, I think) whether or not preceding learning experiences have contributed to his becoming a better, or at least more attractive, person. Lesson here is for parents to identify with their own dealings with growing kids, but logistical problem of starting out with one character and then abandoning it (remember the worm?) is a jarring technical point the audience is going to resent.Plenty of inter-special relationships, including romantic/sexual affinities (burdening audience with yet another layer of suspended disbelief, a la the grasshopper-bee relationship in Fleischer brothers' Mr. Bug Goes to Town).Admittedly UD + Me is attractively filmed and animated, a plus for its acceptance by younger audiences, however intelligent these kids are. The adult swans, however, who are admired for their physical beauty, aren't all that graceful or attractive. There's an intended irony in question of whether physical beauty is enough for the "duckling" to want to become swan-identified at the end, but the superficial beauty in these distant objects of desire isn't quite there anyway. Voice actors are talented and well cast.Little tweaks in the writing of the dialog might have smoothed over inconsistencies. Shakespeare could have created satisfying plot development within this random grouping of "people" who become a family, even though they're not technically family. Perhaps the writers, including Andersen, should have studied Shakespeare.Tries to please everybody with adult-yet-not-adult content: ultimately, is this film for anybody?
