Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Although it's not on a par with the best of Pixar-Disney, this Warner Bros. release recalls the golden age of Looney Tunes in its energy, inventiveness, and subversive humor. Mar 3, 2020 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) The songs are a bum note, but the film does raise thoughtful questions about dogma, fake news and the identity crises that might occur once a community's core beliefs are challenged. Rated: 3/5 Oct 15, 2018 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It's weirdly and oddly and bizarrely and unexpectedly subversive. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Smallfoot was a pleasant surprise, in spite of its overstuffing and occasional weak writing. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Light, breezy, clever, and has plenty of heart. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 16, 2022 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 A really beautiful kids movie... There's great music.

Linda G It was cute. Made the kids laugh. Pretty good moral lesson Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Gigi my 6 yr old grandson laughed once Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Patricia R Really liked the underlying message to believe in yourself, and your own personal truth. Not to just accept what you are forced to believe. Fear of the unknown myth was debunked. I just couldn't understand how Yeti's could breathe and talk at the same time without noses! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Stephanie My kids loved the all the singing and silliness. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Noel L What a sweet and entertaining twist on a classic tale of how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Blu B The first half of this is...kind of a mess. First half feels like this was made for the Tik Tok Generation and you just need constant stimulation and things going on to keep their interest. It also feels like it was made by Corporate Suits who are completely out of touch and trying to copy from better material that we've seen done before multiple times. On top of that the characters are very stock, some miscast (Common as the Yoda of the village effectively), and others who are just the archetype main character or support we've seen from everything from Emojii Movie, Bee Movie, How To Train Your Dragon, Antz, and everything in between. The music is just a hodgepoge of Hip Hop, Queen, Original generic music numbers, and some I swear there is a sound mixing issue where I can barely hear the lyrics. I've never encountered that before. There well sung withc grat vocals but there just not catchy or memorable visually either. Way too many jokes also. This goes faster than Airplane! in terms of the rapid fire jokes and misses 95% of the time and it becomes very annoying. However everything else is half decent and that's because of the second half where it stops the nonsense and actually tries being original, serious, and a degree of sinceity kicks in. The visuals get stronger like in the city, the character arc of Gordon ironically enough really is interesting, and it ironically stops with the rapid fire jokes and starts hitting half the time. It still isn't anything you haven't seen before though. And I question if it's worth sitting through the first for a second half that is good but nothing you haven't seen before. Maybe if your a hardcore fan of any voice actors here or the directors that sure. But otherwise most could skip this. Not as bad as I thought it would be. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
