“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Evil Toons (1992)
How bad is it? It's in the running for worst animated film.
Should you see it? No.
Another Fred Olen Ray film, this time he was apparently wanting to ride the coattails of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and blend animated characters with live ones. This required a larger budget than usual, which also explains how he got David Carradine to star, rather than his father John Carradine. Arte Johnson and Dick Miller also have roles. Here, toons from a magical book come to life and attack - an idea that has some possibilities, as how does one kill something that's animated? Unfortunately, the film meanders and is the usual lowbrow sludge Ray specializes in. The toons themselves are mostly derivative of Chuck Jones and look like they were merely painted onto the film.
Should you see it? No.
