High above the little town of Grubbers Nubbin looms Castle Grotteskew. Here, in his haphazard laboratory, the maddest of all mad professors brings his latest monstrous creations to (almost)-life. Watching, hidden in the shadows, is the professor’s first, long-forgotten creation, Stitch Head. A tiny, strange-looking fellow made up of bits, pieces, and spare parts, he is quite a sight to behold, with his bald, round head covered in a patchwork of stitches, and mesmerizing eyes. Stitch Head splits his time between keeping the castle safe & the other monsters hidden. He is terrified that even the smallest sign of monstrousness will cause the townsfolk of Grubbers Nubbin to burn the castle to the ground. It is a job he undertakes with care & precision, until one day a tired-looking freak show comes to town; led by its desperate owner Fulbert Freakfinder. The show is in dire need of a new attraction and when Freakfinder meets humble Stitch Head, he knows he has found his star.

What Stitch Head mostly aims for and generally achieves is a warmth of comedy and emotion that will sit well with young audiences.

Rated: 3/5

Tribune News Service

This touching and somewhat grotesque story is the perfect gateway for younger kids to dabble in more spooky, Gothic content, as well as to take in the true lessons of Shelley’s original monster tale.

Rated: 2.5/4

Stitch Head tosses in an entertaining batch of bouncy song and dance numbers and a much-needed message about embracing our differences and learning not to be guided by fear.

FilmWeek (LAist)

Watching this film is like watching a pigeon trying to build a nest during a Santa Ana [storm]. You are much more aware of the effort going into it than any tangible result.

Screen Rant

Steve Hudson's adaptation of the Guy Bass books is cute and silly, but otherwise a misfired experiment.

Rated: 4/10

The message is strong because it is delivered with a gentle hand. No big speeches are made but the actions by both groups eventually make the theme very apparent.
