What happens

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a 1987 American 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. The cards, which began as a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, featured characters with gross habits or abnormalities, or who suffer a terrible fate. The film depicts seven of the Garbage Pail Kids (played by dwarf actors in animatronic costumes) interacting with society and befriending Dodger, a regular boy. The Garbage Pail Kids Movie received many negative reviews. It was nominated for three Golden Raspberry Awards, including the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
