The Rapsitte Street Kids is a bit of an enigma. They suddenly appeared one Christmas back in 2002 and nobody seems to have heard of them. It had a lot people doing voices that you may recognize like Mark Hamil, Bart Simpson, the girl that played Ariel in "The Little Mermaid", the girl that played Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" and the original Black Ranger from "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers". But maybe they went a little over budget on getting these big name actors to voice their product because it sure doesn't show up that way on screen.
It fact this looks more like an animatic. You know a set up for what the show is going to look like but they're eventually going to smooth it out and apply things like actual fluid motion, expressions and other things that we expect to see in cartoons.
What I'm trying to say is, the animation in this is possibly the worst I've ever seen. This is worse than Food Fight! No, I'm not kidding. Food Fight! actually had semi-fluid animation and backgrounds, and a who's who of C list entertainers. But they still managed to make a better looking product.
There are animation mistakes galore. From the fact that nobody moves properly. They can't properly animate a walk cycle. They can't show emotions. They can't show movement, Things are too slow and physics don't seem to exist. There's also a guy who holds onto the same sandwich for practically the entire movie. Not wrapped up or in a bag. No. The actual sandwich is in his had from the start to almost the end even though he's walking through school. playing outside and searching through the garbage. It's incomprehensible but it plays an important part later on in the special.
So no. Unless you have a morbid fascination with the horrible and the strange, give this one a pass.
