Olly Richards Empire Magazine It's a film to possibly employ to distract your kids for a few minutes if they've already seen absolutely every other option. Rated: 2/5 Jul 24, 2017 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) This is a cobbled-together, plotless mess from director Leopoldo Aguilar, completely lacking in the internal logic that is essential for the successful creation of a fantasy world. Rated: 2/5 Jul 23, 2017 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) This surreal but shonky Mexican animation makes the clichd link between monstrous transformation and adolescence and does absolutely nothing new with it. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Leopoldo Aguilar's picture is animation of the not at all cuddly kind, complete with scenes of an exploding frog, electrocution, female characters in shapes that make Jessica Rabbit look like Twiggy, and clunky to non-existent humour. Rated: 1/5 Aug 23, 2018 Full Review Mabel Salinas Cine Premiere The characters present specific variations depending on their personality and function within this journey of self-discovery, odyssey that has already been approached many times in the cinema... Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 10, 2017 Full Review Matthew Bond The Mail on Sunday (UK) Monster Island... turns out to be the sort of dark, gothic cartoon you might make if you've been watching too much Tim Burton but haven't got his talent. Rated: 2/5 Oct 5, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D It has decent animation and a solid voice cast but the movie is very standard kids movie stuff Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Virgo Disgusting ass little dumbass movie. Watched with my 9 year old until the scene of the school dance where they dump frogs on him and end up French kissing them. W T F! This is unacceptable and gross. These no talented people who make these movies need to stop. Wish I could give 0 star review this movie doesn't even deserve a half star disgusting ass nasty dumb movie.
