What do critics think?
On review website Rotten Tomatoes, the movie holds an approval rating of 74% based on 23 reviews (including 17 positive reviews) with an average rating of 6.3/10.
“Smallfoot” follows a familiar path, it’s what it does with the journey that makes it worth watching,” says Katie Walsh for Tribune News Service.
“Though not an animated technological marvel, it is a humorous delight for all ages with a great message that encourages thought and challenging the status quo,” reads the review of Yolanda Machado for SassyMamaInLA.
However, some critics left negative reviews:
“Heady ideas for a mainstream cartoon, but unfortunately Smallfoot can’t bear the weight of its big notions, saddled as it is with fairly mediocre animation, mostly forgettable songs and a resolutely by-the-numbers screenplay,” says Alonso Duralde for TheWrap.
