Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan Despite these aspects, the story gets a bit muddy in the middle and the narrative tone doesn’t flow properly. Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Riverdance: The Animated Adventure isn’t a bad movie, it just isn’t particularly memorable either. Rated: 6.5/10 Jan 5, 2023 Full Review Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show 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 Jan 19, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 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. Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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- Jan 12, 2022 Full Review Aine O'Connor Sunday Independent (Ireland) 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 Oct 22, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Fun filled movie - music and dance you can’t go wrong. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review antonis a a great story with alot of great music and dance Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Victoria C A tale of grief in a soft heartwarming way.. beautiful story and great animation! So glad they found Adam! ;) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Clayton 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 07/09/23 Full Review LouDoesDrawing 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) Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/22 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
