Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Toddy Burton Austin Chronicle The animation strives for 1950s sci-fi retro, but the result is that everyone looks like a plastic anim doll. Rated: 2/5 Apr 14, 2007 Full Review Stephen Garrett Time Out What might have been a bland Back to the Future rip-off suddenly hums with a screwball sensibility chockablock with singing gangster frogs and evil bowler hats. Rated: 4/6 Apr 7, 2007 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Both one of Disney's most moving and entertaining efforts, the film is one of the rare near-flawless outings for the studio. Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins With innovation, creativity, and heartfelt storytelling, this is solid entertainment for audiences of all ages. Rated: 8/10 Nov 26, 2020 Full Review Sergio Benítez Espinof It's not a big deal, I know, but we can always console ourselves thinking it could have been much worse.

Luke R. I was six when I seen this in theaters. It’s a pretty good childhood movie. I love the theme of science, inventing, and imagination. Carl is such a funny Tritagonist! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is amazing and has some amazing jokes, plot twist, plots, and subplots. And don’t even forget the music that is really good at keeping the music going, however, there are some details that prevent me from giving this movie 5 stars. Such as the plastic looking humans, everything else looks like plastic in the future which I assume was done intentionally to get as much of a future look as possible, but it does not render the best with me. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Conor S I love this movie the characters, the story is great, it’s just really good it’s very underrated one of the best animated movies ever! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 34 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All ages admitted, with a fantastic voice cast and the best crew members!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review JDAWG E I defend this movie a lot just because of how underrated it is. Back to the Future is definitely better overall, but if you want a more kid-friendly version, this is the one I’d recommend. It’s packed with funny moments, quirky characters, and plot twists that will literally make you spit out your drink. Plus, that message at the end? “Keep moving forward”? Legendary. What an amazing movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Lisa A This is one of my most favorite animated movies. Very family friendly good vibes and teaches you to follow your dreams and to keep you pushing for a brighter future. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Read all reviews
