| "Instead of vainly pursuing today's latest trends, only to see them turn into tomorrow's embarrassments, Park and co. fall back on the values of the past, preferring substance and craft to the fleetingly voguish." |

| Reeling Reviews |

| Movie Habit |
| Marty Mapes |

| Aisle Seat |

| Shadows on the Wall |
| Rich Cline |
5/5 | "It's a one-joke premise, but part of Nick Park's madness/genius is the skill and detail with which he approaches it." |
| eFilmCritic.com |
