Have you read the original book at all? It's hauntingly beautiful and from the same author as Because of Winn Dixie (among many other wonderful novels). I remember seeing the movie back in 2008 and it was...okay? I agree that the designs were not particularly good, especially in comparison to the original book's stunning art.
And though the book may indeed be far superior to the movie, I'm afraid that I won't be confirming that for myself, as I don't ever read entire books now. I was only truly "into" reading books when I was thirteen, which was when it was the only thing that I was good at.
If you do ever change your mind, it's a short and impactful read. Winn Dixie also got a film adaptation in 2005, which I am quite fond of.
As for other animated movies that are terrible, Happily N'ever After and Valiant are pretty bad IMO. Decently creative premises completely ruined in execution and they just look so ugly. I don't know if their production studio has ever made anything actually good TBH. Though there is the bizarre trivia that Betty White's final role was in one of their movies, of all things.
