The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are.

It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush.

2/5

Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative.

It'll pop for family audiences and bring a bit of that cutesy charm that Pixar and DreamWorks of old used to bring to the table.

A simple adventure, this animal buddy movie follows the genre's tropes perfectly without straying too far, but precisely because of its simplicity, it works where it needs to. [Full review in Spanish]

It's impressive how many cliches and troupes they fit into this movie. I could call out the next line a character would say before they'd said it.

I’ve become obsessed with this movie and Tracy Morgan’s voice as Boogle and the Fire Wolf.
