3/5
"an adventurous, amiable attraction."  Filmcritic.com  Bill Gibron

2/4

C
"This is where most lower-quality animated films fail %u2013 not in the animation, but in the writing."  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

C+
"...too visually busy to be pleasing to the eye and lacks the wit needed in the creation of a fantastical locale."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

"Has there ever been so amiably demented a flick as this one...?"  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

B
"The tone of the movie is cheerily macabre."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

1.5/4
"Director Anthony Leondis peppers his tale with a host of leaden cinematic references children will almost surely miss, which is just as well since virtually every film-related gag directed at adults feels like a pitiful attempt at knowing cleverness."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

C-
"... a haphazard collection of spare movie parts cobbled together in a pale imitation of better-animated comedies."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
