Frank Gladstone's animated kids' movie The Hero of Color City is a perfectly pleasant pastiche of other movies, the most obvious antecedent being the Toy Story films.

For parents of very young children looking for a weekend distraction, “Color City” is passable fare — and will at least inspire kiddies to finish what they start, coloring-wise.

I love it! I watched it two times, and both times I loved it. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or a great movie, but I find it to be a good and fun movie, and I know I really love it. I love crayons and animation, so this felt perfect for me to watch, and I don't regret it!

This movie really should've been dead on arrival, but to be honest....I was pleasantly surprised. Nice animation, a clever story, some interesting plot points and a unique idea, this movie is better than it had any right to be. It's not spectacular, but if it was on again, I'd re-watch it.

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.

The best thing about The Hero of Color City is its good voice talent — and its running time of only 77 minutes. Other than that, this is a pretty lame computer-generated animated movie that will likely not engage kids much past the first grade.

The Hero of Color City cannily distills the children’s movie to its lowest common denominator: bright colors flashing on screen.

No cartoon has ever conveyed the struggle for self-actualization with such an inexpressive sense of imagination as this cheap and glorified babysitter.
