Critic Reviews

Lively characters, snappy dialogue, and snazzy visuals make this an uncommonly fine animation.

Outstanding entertainment for little ones but just as rewarding for their adult companions.

With braces on her teeth and preteen gawkiness, Eliza's a nerdy girl on the surface, but her backbone and chutzpah manage to save human and animal family alike. Move over Bond; this girl deserves a sequel.

A witty and delightful Christmas present for the entire family.

Screenwriter Kate Boutilier provides plenty of sharp patter, and Paul Simon contributed the catchy song "Father and Daughter."

Surprisingly engaging, as is the Paul Simon theme song, and the film is enlivened by flashes of humor just rude enough to delight older children.

It all adds up to a cheekier "Lion King" on a lower budget. But what you miss in spectacle you will make up in laughs.

An energetic and eccentric animated cartoon.

A clever feature-length cartoon just as entertaining as the hit Nickelodeon series on which it is based.

The movie features a musical score aimed more at boomer parents than their tykes.
