	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"It's a thin premise that cues much cheery knockabout comedy, with ample scope for impressively whooshy 3D tracking shots."	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"An audience used to Disney and Pixar will rightly expect better than this, whether they're under 10 or not. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"This candy-colored adventure has a harum-scarum energy that rarely flags."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"As a feature film, it is soulless, like something that has been generated by a computer programme. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"The storytelling doesn't match the visual effects. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
