The plot meanders and chases its own tail without ever establishing coherent characters.

Empire Magazine

A film that feels as under pressure as it's poor protagonist. Whilst looking good, it lacks a well-thought out strategy.

Rated: 2/5

The obviousness is not able to overcome the movies interesting starting premise, and to which a wrong tone is added at certain times. [Full Review in Spanish]

A nice universe with a pacing that seems too fast. The story moves so fast from an event to an other and characters are poorly built because of that. This leads to an emotional ending that could have had so much more potentiel.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It is a heartwarming animated classic that follows the adventures of Charlie, who returns from the afterlife to seek redemption. With its vibrant animation and memorable songs, the film delivers a touching story about friendship, forgiveness, and the belief that even the most flawed individuals can find their way to redemption. The film's timeless message and lovable characters make it a delightful watch for audiences of all ages.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
