The Times (UK)

The computer animation is surprisingly good. However, the characters, mostly drawn from German folklore, are sketchy and unappealing and the storytelling is a mess.

Rated: 2/5

Common Sense Media

Visually, there's no shortage of awe inspiring cosmic invention as the adventure kicks off into space, with dairy lands and giant bears. Which is why it's so miserable to see zero invention when it comes to the characters.

Rated: 2/5

Shadows on the Wall

Young children entertained by noisy silliness may enjoy it, but anyone in need of a coherent narrative should be warned.

Rated: 2/5

Eye for Film

Although the film doesn't stand well on its own, it has a lot that will appeal to the under-sevens and could work well as a companion to the book or an accompaniment to discussion and structured play.

Rated: 2.5/5

While delivering an uplifting message that bravery and strength is not always a matter of size, Moonbound isn't exactly stratospheric family entertainment.

This is a well-animated family film with many fun elements relating to creativity and a fantasy world. The plot is delightful, taking its family audiences on a light-hearted, fun, and brainless journey to the moon. It is undoubtedly an animation that delivers new fantasy elements that warrant a fun time. This is one family film that honestly exceeded my expectations.
