Criticism
The reviews were largely mediocre from: While the director and the animation were mostly praised frequently disliked the script. At Rotten Tomatoes says: " The lively, silly tone of the film may delight children, for the elderly it is more likely to be noisy and superficial. " The IGN editor Geoff Chapman wrote: " It's a fun film, full of quirky gags and loving characters. There are a few songs that give the impression of soundtrack marketing to children, and the plot is fairly predictable, but it comes to enjoy the movie as an amusing journey with great characters. "
