	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"A sweet and creepy homage to classic monster movies."	POS
United States	Connie Ogle Miami Herald	"Tim Burton's loving, funny ode to vintage horror movies is a wonder. (...) The best thing about an animated monster movie with this much heart is: It's alive. In the best possible way."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Only Tim Burton could envision this Frankenstein-inspired tale, and it's a honey, a dark and dazzling spellbinder that scares up laughs and surprising emotion. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly	"The resulting homage to Frankenstein in particular and horror movies in general is exquisite, macabre mayhem and a kind of reanimation all its own"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This isn't one of Burton's best, but it has zealous energy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Richard Corliss Time	"The year’s most inventive, endearing animated feature. [According to TIME Magazine: the 10th best Movie of the year 2012]"	POS
