Entertainment Weekly -
A marvelously designed piece of cartoon kinetics.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
It's zippy, and the movie version has both a computerized sheen and handcrafted detailing. Because the details are cribbed from classics, parents can enjoy this 'toon as much as their kids.

Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie contains less of its interesting story and more action and battle scenes than I would have preferred.

Chicago Reader -
The lighting, production design, and character modeling are excellent, and director David Bowers (Flushed Away) references "Frankenstein," "Wall-E," "Transformers," and even Abraham and Isaac. But the TV series, primitive though it was, had a sweet innocence and joyfulness that made it more fun.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Derivative bits aside, the pint-sized Japanese icon takes flight in vibrant CG animation -- no 3D glasses required.
