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

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.
