Despite these aspects, the story gets a bit muddy in the middle and the narrative tone doesn’t flow properly.

Riverdance: The Animated Adventure isn’t a bad movie, it just isn’t particularly memorable either.

Rated: 6.5/10

If you accept the fact that this gorgeously animated film is incurably weird, then you can appreciate the fact that it's also surprisingly wonderful.

Rated: 3/4

Riverdance: The Animated Adventure offers a new musical chapter to fans of the original production, as well as a bit of folklore and a rousing tale for kids with a sense of humor and the usual complement of wise talking animals.

The producers fail to take a step back and really think about the cuckoo bananas world they're halfheartedly creating here to sell Irish dancing to kids.

Rated: C-

There is humour, a little moralising, and Riverdancing giant elks, so what's not to like? Super sweet, it's little-kid and parent friendly -- and tweens should sneakily enjoy it too.

Rated: 4/5

Why would a riverdancing colony of extinct ancient giant elk call themselves by the scientific name assigned to them by humans? The only way I can remotely make this movie make sense is to assume that, from the moment the protagonist hits his head after falling in the river, every subsequent event is taking place in a coma dream. It's not all bad and my kids enjoy it.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

No story, all the budget was put into the dance parts ( which is good, don't get me wrong just too much random dance) Where is his parents? One of his parents should be in charge of the lighthouse NOT A 12 YEAR OLD! Sorry but just no... Just nooooo. The animation was good but the story was nonexistent. (is reminds me of that Pinocchio movie that didn't make sense either)

I enjoyed this one with the family as it was surprisingly good Celtic Riverdance music with a fun adventure story involving the animals in the forest.
