	Author	Review
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A shrill, garish hodgepodge of familiar elements from other animated vehicles (...) there's virtually nothing about this forced, fractured fairy tale that feels remotely fresh or involving"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"This noisy, unappealing children's fantasy fails to distinguish itself among January's many, many reasons to steer clear of the multiplex"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"The worst animated feature Disney has ever released"	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"It is not quite enough to pull the movie into anything like fully recommendable territory (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"I don't think even fools will fall in love with 'Strange Magic'"	NEG
United States	AV Club	"The moral works for the movie itself, though: 'Strange Magic' isn’t as traditionally attractive as other big-budget cartoons, and that’s okay."	NEU
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"'Strange Magic' falls flat in attempt to tune up fairy tales"	NEG
