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.

This movie is great, my 4 and 9 year old love it and have been watching it daily. It's different than the movies that people are used to watching however this movie is refreshing in the sense that it takes me back to the simplicity of wonder and reminds me of life before social media. Nothing in this movie is inappropriate.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
