	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Secrets of the Mogwai' has an all-star vocal cast, an eye-catching animation style that grew on me as the 10-episode season progressed, and enough distinctive backstory details to effectively expand the world."	POS
United States	Maggie Boccella Collider	"An adorable expansion on the original movie (...) Get ready to fall in love with Gizmo all over again	POS
United States	Chris Vognar Rolling Stone	"[It] has a human touch, and a sense of humor and adventure that spans generations. It's better than an animated prequel series to a 39-year-old live-action movie has any reason to be"	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"With a direct connection to the first film, 'Secrets of the Mogwai' is a family-friendly expansion of the Gremlins series that will appeal to kids and die-hard fans but doesn’t do much for the average viewer.	NEU
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Chun uses the overarching story of Gizmo and the green monsters eager to multiply and plunge the world in mischievous mayhem to build upon the world in breathtaking and epic ways (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rafael Motamayor SlashFilm	"The best Gremlins prequel we could have hoped for (...) [It] funny without being super silly, cute without being overly childish, and it knows how to build tension and even be scary for young audiences."	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[It] should be a good entry point into the 'Gremlins' legend for kids, and it's sophisticated enough that their parents should enjoy it as well"	POS
United Kingdom	Jesse Hassenger The Guardian	"Lesser yet passable animated prequel (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Sam Stone CBR	"Vibrantly animated and voiced by an all-star cast, 'Secrets of the Mogwai' is a family-friendly gateway into the Gremlins franchise while retaining the same charm of the classic movies."	POS
United States	Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"[It] seem expressly designed to catch the eyes of parents who loved their predecessors, and who’ll encourage their children to watch them rather than the alternative entertainment options"	POS
United States	Rendy Jones rogerebert.com	"A delightful return to form for the franchise and new fantastical ground for exploration"	POS
