Times (UK)

The animation, story and dialogue all feel so pedestrian and, despite the globetrotting theme, parochial.

Rated: 2/5

The whole thing has a straight-to-DVD quality, or perhaps a TV episode padded out with a few limp songs.

Sunday Times (UK)

It's passable entertainment for young children, though the introduction of a race car as a key character looks like a sorry capitulation to Pixar's least appealing franchise.

The Mail on Sunday (UK)

It's short of charm but features strong female, African and Asian characters for the first time. Toot, toot!
