Times (UK)

A tiny tremulous plot eventually surfaces, about a missing puffin egg, but mostly this is a gorgeous mood piece that displays immense sensitivity, both for the childlike characters on screen and for the wonderment of its impressionable audience.

Perhaps the target demographic for the movie remains small, but anyone can genuinely enjoy “New Friends,” which provides a brightly animated and honeyed voiced journey with charming characters and vibrant environments.

Rated: B+

The movie was lovely - definitely 5* for Puffin Rock. A lovely movie for children, with a nice storyline, lovely voices and music. So rare to have a film with such a lovely feeling to it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
