Shrill, frantic, and hideous to look at, “Gracie & Pedro: Pets to the Rescue” isn’t just one of the worst animated movies of the year—it’s one of the worst movies of the year, period.

Rated: 0/4

Guardian

The cheap-looking CGI animation has zero allure, with by-the-numbers character design contributing to the overall feeling that this lacklustre film was made almost entirely in order to prise money from the fingers of tired parents.

Rated: 1/5

Auteurist Class (Substack)

Even on a visual level, it fails to entertain with its utterly generic animation and character design, all of which suggests the output of an AI system in dire need of debugging.

One Guy's Opinion

A by-the-numbers family-oriented animated movie in which the numbers don’t add up to much.

There are sweet messages throughout about family, friendship, and loyalty, though while animal adventures can't help but be cute, the story is pretty simplistic and there's little in terms of layers for adults or older kids to enjoy.

If you have a child who isn’t quite ready for the more complex animated features, here’s one you can satisfyingly see together.

I love the message of working together for the children when they were looking for their pets and also the pets working together to save the kids and reunite with their family.

The entire film is filled with adventure, teamwork, and plenty of silliness for little ones! The storyline and visuals kept them interested and the adults appreciated the humor and whimsy of it all! Littles in the family were debating whether they’re each more of a Gracie or a Pedro the rest of the weekend🤣🩷

SkyRo P

Gracie & Pedro: Pets to the Rescue!! is an animated feature that debuted in 2024. It offers a lighthearted portrayal aimed at younger audiences, presenting a charming narrative that emphasizes family bonds. The story revolves around a cat and a dog who initially can't stand each other but must join forces to find their way back home, making it a delightful tale that conveys a meaningful message. However, the film's overly cheesy musical numbers and somewhat cliché characters may detract from the overall experience. It seems tailored for children aged zero to ten, as older viewers are likely to find it too simplistic and unengaging. The voice cast also felt a bit off, adding to the film's overall quirkiness. In summary, this film is primarily designed for toddlers and elementary school children. Once viewers reach middle school or beyond, its appeal diminishes significantly. While I found the storyline endearing and appreciated the character development, the film as a whole lacked the captivating quality that keeps audiences hooked. Unlike Disney or DreamWorks, which are known for their storytelling prowess, this film struggled to make a strong impression in the animation realm. It simply fell flat when compared to its more polished counterparts.
