Critics Consensus

Animal Crackers is far from the most distinctive animated fare, but its wacky humor and zippy speed make it a decent diversion for younger viewers.

Proceeds like a John Steinbeck tome for kindergartners.

If "Animal Crackers" never quite matches the mania of "Meet the Robinsons," nor the comic wit of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meetballs," it still moves so fast that less generic animation might have seemed like a waste.

Rated: B-

Animal Crackers is not perfect but it's a good directorial debut for Sava that is ultimately fun and offers families a wacky afternoon's viewing, with an uplifting final note and, in these tough times, that's a good thing to strive for and achieve.

Rated: 3/5

Not as tasty as it could and should have been but a decent diversion for the preschool set. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Scary Scenes, etc. - also Available)

The animated adventure ends up working despite all the questions that arise from the plot's inconsistency. [Full review in Spanish]

Put this on for children at work, had to turn it off around 12 minutes. There is some mild violence where a man is attacked by a cat with a dog comedically biting a man's rear revealing his "buns of steel" underwear. Interesting comedy choice for children, but okay. Where I had to pull the cord was when a LARGE-breasted woman is running towards a man with intense jiggling and a camera zooming in under a dress at her butt. This is TV-7??? NO.

I watched 10 minutes of the movie with my 4 year old daughter and decided to turn it off when I realized there were inappropriate scenes. When the chubby lady was running around and landed with her breast on the skinny guys face… how do I explain that?!- No thanks.

I didn't like it very much, this movie contains a musical and I don't like musicals, I didn't like the story either, but as this movie was successful I'll count it as recommendable.

It was a very fun and really great animated family fantasy comedy movie. It had very well done animation, really splendiferous voice cast, really fantastic music, really astounding characters, really gorgeous visuals, really excellent comedy, really awesome magic and a very impressive story. My favorite part of this film was when Owen ate one of the animal crackers and he transformed into a hamster and it’s hilarious. I really recommend this movie to kids and adults alike.
