PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Although not bowling me over, 'Planet 51' is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D. (...) it was beautifully animated in Spain (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"A high concept gets low execution in "Planet 51," a lame-brained toon that even kids will recognize as an insipid goof on sci-fi conventions. (...) there's nothing funny, provocative or involving" (Todd McCarthy: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"A playful throwback to the days when cartoons were mostly aimed at children. (...) a perky though not terribly imaginative feature aimed primarily at youngsters" (Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"'Planet 51, funny? Only if you're on Planet Denial. (...) insipid and disjointed comedy (...) Strangely, neither the astronaut nor Lem, an astronomy buff, shows any interest or curiosity in each other's worlds." (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"Delivers a few pleasant surprises, including a smart story (...) and clever characters" (Adam Markovitz: Entertainment Weekly)
