Critics Consensus

The animated portion of Osmosis is zippy and fun, but the live-action portion is lethargic.

Common Sense Media

Mostly animated PG film has gross-out humor, violence.

Rated: 3/5

Time Out

The plot's so much old rote, and the characters have all the personality of protoplasm; but the anthropomorphising of this microcosmic metropolis is wonderfully imaginative, and the dialogue decidedly spiffy.

The ideas are there, hints of genius, but no one ignites them.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

It's imaginative, ingenious and dramatically flat. Still, it may satisfy his who will learn a lot about the nasty effects of junk food on the human body.

Rated: C+

Double Toasted

It sometimes lets its imagination cut loose in a fun way. But a lot of the movie is just puns, body humor, jokes...but some of the parts, they do very well with it...

Criminally underrated. The animation is amazing, and this movie has one of the best cartoon villains I’ve ever seen. Thrax is fantastic antagonists. Great character design, voice acting, animation, etc. I do prefer the animated portions of the movie over the live-action ones, but the two tie together to make one cohesive story. The overall story is fairly basic, but the setting for the events that unfold is unique and keeps an otherwise basic plot feeling fresh.

A reasonable but interesting film, in a strange way it reminds me of the film "Saw 9".

A solidly animated film with gross-out live action humor that preaches cleanliness. I think that was the message. But it has a soft spot in my heart for a embodying a time when WB was still adventurous and their cartoon universe was thriving with talent and potential. Today WBD loathes the toons. RIP Coyote v Acme.
