	Author	Review
United States	Michael Ordoña Los Angeles Times	"[It] is loud, colorful and frantic, but at least it’s a distraction (...) The release is probably well-timed. Right now, there are plenty of families that can use a noisy, candy-hued distraction."	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A delightful, sugar-rush animated feature for families (...) While 'The Willoughbys' might not be very original, its novelty comes through in the delivery and execution"	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"While 'The Willoughbys' might not boast the slick structure or beating heart of a Pixar animation, there’s enough offbeat charm to make it an easily digestible watch (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"[It's] a mishmash of story ideas (...), but it's cute and quirky enough to keep viewers hooked."	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"A charming and offbeat family adventure on Netflix with enough dark ideas and visual inventiveness to make a mark (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"[Its] visual looniness will moderately engage most families (...) It plays several odd chords, which is refreshing, but discordant jazz ain’t everybody’s bag, you know?"	POS
United States	Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"A surprisingly sweet story about chosen families (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
