Viral Virtual Reality The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a 1987 film adaptation of the children's trading cards series of the same name produced directed and co-written by Rod Amateau. It was the last film to be directed by Amateau before his retirement in 1989 and death in 2003. The cards began as a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls and each card features a character who typically has a gross habit or abnormality or suffers a terrible fate. The film depicts seven of the Garbage Pail Kids (played by dwarf actors in animatronic costumes) interacting with society and befriending a regular boy. The film was lambasted by critics and is widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made. The Garbage Pail Kids were nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star but lost to David Mendenhall for Sylvester Stallone's Over the Top and the song "You Can Be a Garbage Pail Kid" was nominated for the Worst Original Song but lost to George Michael's controversial hit "I Want Your Sex" from Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop II.
