It should appeal to the little ones, but there's not much here for the over-sixes.

Rated: 3/5

The story and characterizations never get much deeper than "We're all special in our own way." At times, the five writers borrow a little too heavily from other properties.

Even if you allow for the the fact that the film is geared towards the 5-year-old set, it's still a pretty dreary experience, made even more so by screamingly vivid colors, uninspiring animation and grating songs.

Rated: 1.5/4

Behind The Lens

The visuals, the story and the characters keep moving and never stagnate. There is always an eye-popping visual, color blend, adventure or music to keep the attention of a fidgety kid... The Hero of Color City will be a hero to the younger set.

"The Hero of Color City" was made for five-year-olds and is unashamedly derivative of "Toy Story."

Rated: 2/4

Its not original AND it has a predictable storyline, they were obviously trying to copy Toy Story and the ONLY time I have heard of it was when some kindergarten age kid went up to me and told me about it.
