Critics Consensus

An animated feature that's more of the same, Son of Bigfoot lacks innovation but provides entertaining fodder for younger viewers.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

More or less does what it sets out to do, which is to offer enough visual activity and bromides to keep the very young interested.

Los Angeles Times

Doesn't feature quite the budget, visuals or imagination of its American blockbuster counterparts, but it will likely provide a fun 90-minute diversion for kids.

It's deeply derivative, but relatively inoffensive. Young kids will love it.

Rated: 3/5

Spectrum Culture

Suffers from indifferent animation and terrible music. But its characters and script are engaging enough to make the never-ending cinematic hunt for Sasquatch worthwhile.

Rated: 2.75/5

So-so adventure finds the positive in "negative" traits.

The title feels into a way misleading, but the whole movie in itself is okay.
