''[[The Garbage Pail Kids Movie]]'' is a 1987 moviefilm adaptation of ''The Garbage Pail Kids'' trading card series. The Kids are gross parodies of the [[Cabbage Patch Kids]].
 
Dodger, a fifteen-year-old kid, works at an antique shop owned by the wizard Captain Manzini. While working there, four bullies stop by and wreck the place, leaving Dodger in the sewer. He is later rescued by The Garbage Pail kids, a group of misfit children that love to break the rules and be disgusting. They were released from a garbage pail owned by Manzini and much to his chagrin, they refuse to go back.

=== This film provides examples for the following tropes: ===
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To the [[Cabbage Patch Kids]].
 
* [[For the Evulz]]: Not only are the bullies much older than Dodger, but they also have no motivation for bullying him.
* [[Hitler Ate Sugar]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]]. Somehow, Mahatma Gandhi, [[Abraham Lincoln]] and [[Santa Claus]] are locked away in the State Home For The Ugly. The movie seems to imply that if they are "ugly" ("too bald", "too tall" and "too fat", respectively), then any ugly individual is therefore a good person.
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Manzini wants to save the Kids from the State Home For The Ugly, but he still plans to imprison them again in the garbage pail.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: The garbage pail that contained the kids.
* [[Shout -Out]]: To ''[[My Mother the Car]]'', of all things. Captain Manzini shares his name with the main villain of that series, whose producer and main director, Rod Amateau, also directed this film.
* [[That Reminds Me of a Song]]: The Garbage Pail Kids sing about working together, while stealing stuff in order to make clothes.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: What happened to the ''other'' Garbage Pail Kids? It is implied that they were euthanized by the State Home for the Ugly, but the details are not very clear.
