3/5
It should appeal to the little ones, but there's not much here for the over-sixes. Go to Full Review Charles Solomon Los Angeles Times 10/03/2014
The story and characterizations never get much deeper than "We're all special in our own way." At times, the five writers borrow a little too heavily from other properties. Go to Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com 10/03/2014
1.5/4
Even if you allow for the the fact that the film is geared towards the 5-year-old set, it's still a pretty dreary experience, made even more so by screamingly vivid colors, uninspiring animation and grating songs. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 12/14/2019
The visuals, the story and the characters keep moving and never stagnate. There is always an eye-popping visual, color blend, adventure or music to keep the attention of a fidgety kid... The Hero of Color City will be a hero to the younger set. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 12/03/2014
... might at best provide desperate parents with an electronic babysitter. Go to Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com 12/01/2014

"The Hero of Color City" was made for five-year-olds and is unashamedly derivative of "Toy Story." Go to Full Review Read all reviews
