If someone laced Wallace and Gromit's stockpile of West Country cheeses with hallucinogens, they might start to show some of the free-associative abandon of the characters in this trippy debut feature...

Directors Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar (who also provide voices) display a pleasantly warped sensibility without going for adult humor.
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News

There's really very little to say about this film beyond that it's absolutely brilliant.
Peter Brunette, Hollywood Reporter

All the silliness unfolds in a complex social structure, where good manners are expected, bad behaviour is punished and birthdays are not to be forgotten.
Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail

In a world lousy with computer animation and 3-D whizz-bangery -- j'accuse, James Cameron! -- it's nice to know there's still fun to be had with nothing more than plastic figures and a little imagination.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
