Proves that technical knowhow and a reliable old yarn will only get you so far when imagination is lacking.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Rotten

The motion capture feels like a stunt, while the stunts ... don't.

Peter Debruge, Variety
Rotten

All of this feels awfully simplistic, like a 10-minute cartoon sketch bloated into a full-length movie, and one that's backed by an over-explanatory voiceover that can sometimes sound awkward.

Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter
