Media Author Review
United States
ReelViews
"'We're Back' is an exercise in endurance -- not only is it dull, but it has such an overwhelming sense of sweetness that it threatens to become nauseating."
United States
Variety
"In spite of narrative problems... the film's chief appeal is its central conceit -- that giant monsters... can be transformed into [ceatures] who like to play with children."
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"It's shallow and kind of dumb, and the animation is routine, and the story isn't much, and the stakes are a lot higher these days in the featurelength animation game. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)" 
United States
The Washington Post
"It's vividly animated, it's friendly -- and it's not too long." 
United States
Austin Chronicle
"Mercifully, this feature is only about 80 minutes long. It probably won't frighten kids, but it might bore them instead."
