This is bassically a non Pixar finding Nemo and instead of a clown fish it has turtles and as far as of what I have seen it was just boring and unengaging and an unconvincing , shallow ,soulless knock off and it also has bad cinematography and ugly visualls like it was all cheaply done it even felt like it was 6 hours long just a bore to sit through overall I don't recommend this movie at all 1/10

First of all, I never heard of this movie. It was recently screened for kids at Wisconsin in a local theater, so I had zero expectations when waling through the film. After, I thought it was the most disappointing movie ever, or maybe the worst. The premise is actually interesting, it a mix-up of coming-of-age drama and romance stuff with a bit of environmentalist stuff. But after watching, I thought it was poorly executed. It's just bogged down by its recycled plot, cheesy dialogue, and a bland animation that's mostly seen on your Netflix Kids watchlist. For younger audiences, they'll enjoy it, but us adults, may wanna rethink about your money. And for those peeps who's looking for a decent environment flick, watch An Inconvenient Truth.

It seems guaranteed to infuriate anyone over seven.

Turtly disappointing, turtly sanctimonious in its eco message, and turtly derived from Finding Nemo.

Rated: 2/5

The color palette and the movement of the characters also serve as an attraction for the little ones, who are undoubtedly destined for The Adventures of Sammy, but their companions can also enjoy it. [Full review in Spanish]

Annoyingly cute is one way to describe this film; sickly sweet is another.

The National (UAE)

far too reminiscent of films that have gone before it and suffers from being overly didactic about its environmental themes.
