United States	Justin Chang Variety	"There are honestly stirring moments to be found in the movie's heartfelt tribute to the virtues of teamwork, courage and sacrifice, and in its soaring 3D visuals."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Beautiful to look at, this is nothing more than a 'Little Engine That Could' story refitted to accommodate aerial action and therefore unlikely to engage the active interest of anyone above the age of about 8, or 10 at the most."	NEU
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"In 3-D, the firefighting scenes are visually striking — with plumes of smoke and chemical dust — though the backgrounds, like other aspects of the film, lack dimension"	NEG
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"It's not a poor movie. But it's definitely a better movie for the kids"	NEU
