Visually, the movie is a wonder, with its profusion of detail and exquisitely focussed "performances" by the figurines, whom Anderson frames in images as precisely composed as those in his live-action work.

Sometimes too clever by half, the film, replete with in-jokes, may in some ways work better for adults. Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwarztman also provide adept voice work.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

A boisterous and magnificent treat.

The same eye for immaculate compositions that had seemed increasingly to hem in his human actors here serves as the basis for some of the most inventive animated set pieces this side of Nick Park.
Christopher Orr, The New Republic

Adds yet another wry, carefully composed bibelot to the cabinet of curios that defines the Anderson oeuvre.
