United States	Richard Kuipers Variety	"[It] is packed with exciting adventure (...) [It strikes] a pleasing balance between thunderous action scenes and appealing romance"	POS
United States	Kristen Yoonsoo Kim The New York Times	"It may be too complicated and risqué for younger viewers (...) The film’s landscape shots look breathtakingly real, but animated figures (...) look more like an iPhone game"	NEU
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"Some plot points are rushed (...) but they’re easy to overlook when 'White Snake's success truly lies in its visuals"	POS
United States	Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times	"Some of the special effects are genuinely spectacular, but the narrative is often difficult to follow (...) 'White Snake' leaves the viewer with the equivalent of a hangover from too many over-the-top visuals"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Geared to more sophisticated viewers rather than children, the CGI-animated pic (...) should well please fantasy fans."	POS
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"Too bad a beautifully designed movie isn’t necessarily good or even novel (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"[It] slithers splendidly between myth and legend (...) The animation is beautiful and world-class (...) My expectations were far exceeded by a genuinely moving and eventful adventure"	POS
United States	Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"A finely cut and polished gem of CG animation"	POS
