The only timepiece you’ll be staring at through this endurance test is the one on your wrist.

Observer (UK)

The performances – child, adult and pangolin alike – are painfully poor. And the stop-start pacing of the picture is a slog.

Like its title, this film is mostly bland and semi-forgettable – with scenes more than a little familiar from the fantasy back catalogue, adding no real flavour of its own.

Rated: 2/5

Relatively enjoyable, albeit instantly forgettable.

Eye for Film

Although there is some mild peril here, this is a film that is built on thinking outside the box, the importance of friendship and drawing on your inner strength, even when you think that’s tough.

Rated: 3/5

This movie is unbearable. The acting is no good and the effects look like their from shark boy and lava girl. I can't follow the story either. Didn't even finish the movie it was so bad.

If AI wrote and produced a fantasy, this would be it. Such juxtaposing elements and creepy AI characters. I literally felt nauseated.

I've seen some good children's films in my time but this wasn't one of them. After a slow start I was hoping it would pick up when the children entered the fantasy world but I was disappointed. Both the acting and dialogue were dire, and it got to the stage where I couldn't bear watching anymore, and walked out 15 minutes before the end.

What a refreshing and pleseant suprise, a fun, visually stunning film that still manages to touch on some deeper than expected themes; only downside is my kids now wont stop pestering me for a pet Pangolin!...
