Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (seasons 1&2) - I'm probably going to get blocked by the DNI crowd for saying this. I won't deny it has some problematic issues but regardless it's my all-time favorite anime. I think the first season is a masterpiece.

Black Sheep - It's saddening that this movie was bashed by critics at the time and impacted Chris Farley's mental health. Honestly, it's my number favorite movie from him. I even prefer it over the acclaimed Tommy Boy.

Barbie and the Island Princess - I just discovered some people hated this movie. I imagine there are better Barbie movies but personally I am biased because I grew up with this one.

PMMM Rebellion - Not everyone dislikes this movie but some people still don't like Homura's role and the ending. Even though it has been proven by the writers that Homura actually didn't do nothing wrong.

Grinch 2000 - This adaptation definitely has it's flaws and for sure the Chuck Jones version is faithful to the book. But honestly I do enjoy it as a guilty pleasure. Also Cindy Lou Who is my favorite Seuss character and it's nice that she got extra screentime in this movie.

I feel like I am missing more examples but whatever I am tired lol.

Freddie Got Fingered is the first one that I can think of, I actually find it very funny.

I am currently re-watching the early 10's cartoon "Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures." I will admit as a grown-ass woman I still enjoy it.

Yeah, it's loosely based off the traditional Pacman game. But I mean, can you really translate that into a show? It's kind of like a Pacman version of Sonic X except not too-teen orientated if you know what I mean. (no sexual innuendos and less violence) Although funny enough I was a teen when I got into this show.

Also shout-out to the designers and animators! The animation and character designs are pretty professional for a IP based cartoon. I do like Pacster's friends Spiral and Clyndria. It seems some cartoons make the MC's side friends not as interesting and they are just there.

Back to the hate TGA has gotten. Though it wasn't too immense. The Pacman franchise was starting to get experimental since the 2000's. Take "Pacman Party" for an example which is obviously ripping of- I mean inspired from the Mario Party games.

I really don't understand some of the criticism I often see of serious OG Pacman fans muttering how TGA is too different for Pacman standards. Unless if they are old dinosaurs, then fair enough. /s

I really like Clerks The Animated Series & I think the first season of The Simpsons was the best season though I still like the later seasons as well

It seems to me that many of the shows that I find enjoyable are hated on by the studios and/or the public.

I loved Firefly, cancelled after 1 season by network, luckily the backlash was so huge they made the movie "Serenity" to end it properly.

I also was a fan of the tv show 'The Finder', also cancelled after 1 season. There are many other shows like this that I found interesting yet they never made it past the 1st season.

Sing is by no means a masterpiece but honestly I do think it's overhated. I don't consider myself a musical buff however I enjoyed the soundtrack to the point I pirated the album 7 years ago. I enjoyed seeing the side stories of the contestants and that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu homage was the cherry on top.

I won't deny Sing does have its flaws hence why it's not my all-time favorite movie. The koala protagonist is poorly written and I don't think he makes a good influence on the viewers. The Seth Macfarlane mouse makes me want to put him in a poison block. Tbf his singing is really good. The story isn't anything outstanding but hey it's fine by children movie standards.

P.S Meena is an underrated character who doesn't deserve the all the backlash thanks to the immature TikTok kids. Although I do feel her backstory is underdeveloped compared to the rest of the cast. Such a shame the writers did her dirty.

Postal the Movie remains on the bottom of every video game film adaptation list.

I actually enjoyed it. People who despise adaptations of video games or despises the Postal series of games or prefers an art in cinema is going to hate this film.

I've played Postal 2 and it remains the best in the series. The movie perfectly captures the game's insanity and humor which is all a fan could ever ask for.

As far as video game movies are concerned, I've seen worse, much worse.
