A tale of grief in a soft heartwarming way.. beautiful story and great animation! So glad they found Adam! ;)

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

An absurd, strained and seriously unfunny animated comedy that shows what can happen when animation veterans with limited imaginations try to conjure up a myth to give a "story" to an Irish dancing stage show somebody bought the rights to.

Rated: 1.5/4

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.
