New York Times

While the children are permitted a measure of psychology, the older characters, especially Amber and Jack’s mopey, klutzy father (overplayed by Tony Hale), are treated as earnest mouthpieces for the story’s morals.

Eye for Film

Tells a dark story in vivid colour, with lots of action and laughs, largely thanks to a great cast and truly dedicated technical team.

Definitely great for kids to young teenagers. I would have loved this movie if it was released in the early 2000’s. Maybe not the best for teens to adults but I would still say it’s worth a watch for how original and well done the movie it.

It was a better movie than I expected. I liked that it shows children that they could cope with grief in different ways.

Great movie! Well acted and easy to follow with deep emotional undertones but also funny and light at times. My kids loved the creatures and drawings and were engaged the whole time! Two thumbs up!
