	Author	Review
United States	Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times	"An anything-goes hodgepodge in need of a smarter, tighter narrative and more deftly conceived and rendered characters."	NEG
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"A silly hyperactive monster animation that feels like it could’ve been scripted by a giddy six-year-old after lashings of jelly and ice-cream (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Anna Smith Time Out	"The plot feels a bit scattered, and the gender messaging is contradictory (...) The animation is perfectly good, there are amusing moments and bursts of fun action (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Kevin Maher The Times	"Derivative, barrel-scraping 'family animation' at its worst (...) Utterly charmless (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"A clunky, ungainly and misconceived affair, neither witty nor visually imaginative enough even to begin to compare with the best Hollywood animation (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"Why is an animated film set in Brooklyn voiced entirely by British actors? (...) None of this matters very much (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
