2/5
The trouble is that, as Kerry sets out to save the city, there isn't much in the way of adventure, and the animation is pretty cheap-looking. Go to Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 02/21/2020
1.5/5
The film is just a mishmash, combining half-baked fantasy concepts with simple messages about the importance of co-operation and so forth, plus the occasional toilet joke. Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 07/14/2020
3/5
Animated eco-fable has sweet siblings, icky bits, scares. Go to Full Review Andrew F. Peirce The Curb 04/04/2020
The Wishmas Tree is not perfect. ...Clear budgetary constraints that inhibit it from reaching the visual inventiveness that Pixar films ... set the benchmark for but if you meet the film on the level it's operating on, then you'll have a good time. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW 02/27/2020
3/5
While the animation isn't quite Dreamworks or Pixar, it certainly beams with character and style. Given its flaws and cliches the film is as proficiently mounted and as technically accomplished as most of the family fare we get force-fed from the US.

I can only imagine the filmmakers wished for a cinema release for this one as this is TV fodder at best. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Charlie J @cute_lemmings Feb 14 Definitely the best movie I’ve ever seen. Zootopia but 100 x better. It ticks all the boxes. Amazing characters, especially Kerry the ringtail possum (aww, he’s even cuter than Gwen mallard from migration 🥺). Just look at those eyes 👀. All of the animals from this film are so cute and beautifully designed, it is amazing. And then sanctuary city. This is the heaven-like version of zootopia city, and it is far more whimsical. And it even contains the same core idea of zootopia, that predator animals live together in harmony with prey. This film felt simply unreal: it was that good 😊 . See more Read all reviews
