Bad Qualities

  1. Poorly written plot.
  2. Convoulted storyline.
  3. Some of the scenes defy logic to some extent:
    1. The mayor never gets anything right.
    3. Many of the students, as well as the school faculty, believe that Doug's monster (disguised as a girl) is an actual girl.
  5. Infuriatingly dim-witted characters.
  9. Misleading title: Despite being called "Doug's 1st Movie", it is the only Doug film to be ever produced.
    • This is completely ironic, as Disney would usually make direct-to-video sequels to their movies, but, for some reason, they didn't do it for Doug.

Good Qualities

  1. The animation is decent, compared to both TV shows.
  2. The ending isn't too bad.
  4. There are no plot holes in the movie.
  5. Good soundtrack.
  6. There are some genuinely funny moments:
    • The scene where Skeeter does his silly noises while he's being interviewed was entertaining.
    • To be fair, the robot scenes were pretty funny.


  • The movie was originally intended to be direct-to-video, however Disney decided to instead release it to theaters due to the success of The Rugrats Movie.
  • As mentioned before, it is the only Doug movie to be ever produced.

But wait a minute... how did the film flop at the box office? Even if you ignore the Wikipedia article where a $5 million budget is mentioned (without sources), you can still tell that this production cost very little to make; plus, Box Office Mojo mentions that it made whopping $19 million on the box office!! Maybe we should say that there were no more sequel because Disney realized that there was no potential? (or saw the negative reviews, if they were any)

No, I'd say there was no sequel because of the legal issues regarding Doug. It originally premiered on Nickelodeon, and was moved to Disney several years later.
