3/5

It’s formulaic stuff, but the use of folk music... adds a distinctive character and degree of charm.

3/5

The animation is rudimentary, and the political allegory screamingly obvious. But there’s silly, infectious charm here, credible characters, and a welcome and novel smattering of Ukrainian folk music.

The character animation and movement are thoughtful and well done. Most importantly, the music is lovely...

The film proves joyously funny and hugely engaging, populated by charming characters and adorably quirky creatures - kids will want a kittyfrog of their own after watching it.

A Ukrainian folklore story with a very good environmental message about the constant struggle between humans and the environment, Mavka: The Forest Song is a moderately entertaining film. [Full review in Spanish]

A nivel animación esta lejos de los grandes estudios, tal vez la historia sea un toque cliché e infantil pero así y todo cumple. Entretenida y colorida, para ser una película de Ucrania a nivel producción cumple bastante bien mientras refleja de manera interesante mitos y culturas de aquella region. Vale la pena.
