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

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. Go to Full Review
Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 05/02/2018
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. Go to Full Review

It's deeply derivative, but relatively inoffensive. Young kids will love it. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

So-so adventure finds the positive in "negative" traits. Go to Full Review

Alex S @williamhickleberry Dec 18 unironically kind of a banger See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 10 Son of Bigfoot is a charming animated film that delivers a surprisingly fun and heartfelt experience. While it isn’t backed by giants like Disney or DreamWorks, it still manages to stand out with its polished animation and lovable tone. The story takes the Bigfoot legend and flips it into a lighthearted, family-friendly adventure that feels creative and refreshing. The animation style is colorful, lively, and visually engaging, keeping the audience invested from start to finish. The screenplay does a great job catering to younger viewers, offering humor and emotional beats that are easy to follow and genuinely sweet. While it may not reach the storytelling heights of major animated classics, it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do—entertain, warm the heart, and keep kids smiling. It’s a fun, easy watch that brings laughs, charm, and a simple message about family, identity, and belonging. See more ra’xy @cxte_ Nov 25 Great movie, love the animation and details. The artist who designed adam is a genius, he looks like his mom but has distinct mixtures of both parents. I did hate how his dad did him towards the end, very harsh words. nevertheless good movie See more Hayleigh P @haytay.shows22 Jul 21 This movie was actually super good and the animals were all so cute, (Wilbur is definitely the cutest though 🤭.) See more Diego B Mar 20 Great ! But the second half of the movie is boring and out of what it was before See more Cudalbu R 12/22/2024 The title feels into a way misleading, but the whole movie in itself is okay.
