	Author	Review
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A fittingly buoyant, delightfully madcap animated romp"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"['Storks'] is a harmless enough way to occupy a youngster for an hour and a half. It’s just not especially rich in extraordinary characters or moments"	NEU
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"Take one typical kid-friendly animated movie, add manic gags and screwball pace — now you've got this surprising bird of a different feather. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"Good news, parents: Storks is bound to entertain you and your little ones. Bad news: Get ready to answer a lot more awkward questions about where babies come from (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Like any pleasant surprise this funny, frenetic, cheerfully nonsensical movie makes its own rules and gives you a few things that you weren’t, well, expecting"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"The whole movie seems to be on fast-forward, with crushingly brainless dialogue, hollow imagery and no way of slowing down the febrile action or making sense of the chaotic plot"	NEG
United States	Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly	"The film’s lesson about finding your family never comes off as saccharine, and although there’s nothing particularly innovative about its message, Storks is a little bundle of joy"	POS
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"'Storks' has some telltale signs of a bad animated movie But there is unexpected heart in the new film by Warner Animation Group, and an offbeat comic sensibility that justifies the chaos onscreen"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"All noise and no fun (...) In 'Storks,' the jokes fall flat, but the pace is relentless, and those two things seem somehow intertwined"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[A] charming animated adventure (...) The script by Nicholas Stoller jabs at your funny bone and at your gooey sentimental center with equal agility	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Lazy plot devices abound, but the animation’s so colorful and deep, the movie’s youngest viewers won’t notice. Adults, however, should be frustrated with the half-baked ingredients behind the pretty pictures"	NEU
