	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] could be considered passable enough, though it's far from the level of 'Sausage Party' or 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs', to name some other edible animation tales."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] delightfully inventive, frequently hilarious animated feature (...) In addition to boasting a downright clever idea, 'Animal Crackers' is uniquely suited to the medium of animation"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"Let’s face it: 'Animal Crackers' is kind of a mess (...) But it’s also kind of admirable in its ambition"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"The absurd path of this silly and rather enjoyable animated movie is all the more startling because it turned out kind of…decent."	POS
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"[Its] ambition is uncommon in cartoons about magical snack food (...) The indifferent, blobular animation, on the other hand, won’t do much to spark children’s visual imaginations"	NEU
United States	Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"Everything moves along briskly, punctuated with colorful characters, animal and human, and lively musical numbers (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"While 'Animal Crackers' makes a meal of its confectionary conceit, ultimately there just isn’t much to it (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
