A small woodland creature and a majestic bird, two natural sworn enemies of the Valley, magically trade places and set off on an adventure of a lifetime.

The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are.

It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush.

2/5

Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative.

Swapped clearly wants to reach the heights of Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks' best without actually understanding what made those films truly connect with people.

I’ll give it that I was dazzled when it brought me to this magical valley, but unfortunately, it did not bring me into a good movie.

Es muy buena ya que te enseña a no confiar en las personas por mas buenas que se vean ya que pueden ocultar cosas malas pero sinceramente también ven la parte buena de este mismo caso y me agrado 10/10 casi .

It was WAY better than I expected!! Some plot elements are a little tired, but the world building and creatures are very creative. And it's nice to have another colorful, heartwarming adventure reminding us that we're all part of something bigger.

Film was enjoying to watch and had smart, witty and funny dialogue. To the people dissing the plot, what more do you expect? It is a kid movie. A buddy adventure that teach us to embrace our differences and work together to save our home is the norm. I recommend it.
