The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) May 6
It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers 6d
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. Go to Full Review

4/5
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] Go to Full Review

Kimmo K @Kimble98 50m Amazing movie, beautiful animation and even better story. See more Shannon F. @Mrs.Fletcher 23h Another wonderful family animation that my husband and I would’ve missed out on if we didn’t have our toddler. See more Christian N @Christian219 1d I loved the movie because It was fun, funny, and It tells an interesting story about exotic animals that used to live together, but broke up because of starvation. And I was shocked that John Lasseter, one of the co-founders of Pixar, also worked on this movie. But then again, It was great, I recommend watching it. See more Shaquille F @RT91129483 1d Swaped destaca por combinar una propuesta visual extraordinaria con una historia original y emocionalmente efectiva. El nivel de detalle en el pelaje, el plumaje y las transformaciones de los personajes es excepcional, mientras que los paisajes y escenarios aportan una fuerte sensación de inmersión. La narrativa desarrolla a sus personajes con paciencia y permite que el espectador conecte con ellos de forma natural. Cuando la historia parece haber revelado su dirección, introduce un plot twist sorprendente que recontextualiza gran parte de lo ocurrido anteriormente. Si tuviera que señalar un aspecto menos memorable, sería la banda sonora. Aunque cumple adecuadamente su función dentro de la película, no alcanza el mismo nivel de personalidad e impacto que el apartado visual y narrativo. Una película visualmente hermosa, creativa y con una identidad muy marcada. P.S. Después de esto, solo queda una petición: que lancen el videojuego ya. See more Aaron B 1d What an amazing movie, I can't believe it wasn't announced more, the animation is insanity great and the story OMG, the best I've seen in a children's movie in a long time, the characters development and the cuteness over all of every single one of them is just great, We need more movies like this, creative, new story's and amazing art work. The voice acting is great Michael B Jordan is amazing the character firs perfect to his voice and vibe, the over all message in the movie is exactly what every child in this world needs to learn and quite a few adults too! Definitely a must watch for everyone, See more Sanjay G @Sanjay95 3d This was an okay movie with great animation with not so great story and characters. I like the world building it presents and it has some good character designs and great looking backgrounds. The big main issue is its writing that feels like its taking a lot of elements from some Disney movies like Moana and Raya and the Last Dragon and mesh them into one, which made the movie feel over-bloated, and messy. One thing I didn't expect was it twist villain and I thought it handle that well. Overall, its mostly mid. See more Read all reviews
