This Movie Was Trash, No Seriously…
No, seriously, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie was a steaming pile of trash. The movie was canned in a matter of weeks after it hit theaters thanks to protesting parents, and it was nominated for three Golden Raspberry Awards. The trading cards that inspired the characters were a hit, but the live-action film was an epic fail.
The Garbage Pail Kids’ antics repulsed viewers, to say the least. Each of the animatronic characters had a personality that revolved around expelling revolting amounts of bodily fluids or being generally unpleasant. The anthropomorphized Ali Gator loved munching on feet, giving us a new reason to make sure our toes were tucked in at night.
