Animal Crackers is not perfect but it's a good directorial debut for Sava that is ultimately fun and offers families a wacky afternoon's viewing, with an uplifting final note and, in these tough times, that's a good thing to strive for and achieve.

Not as tasty as it could and should have been but a decent diversion for the preschool set. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Scary Scenes, etc. - also Available)

The animated adventure ends up working despite all the questions that arise from the plot's inconsistency. [Full review in Spanish]

The animation is wildly colourful and the characters packed with hilariously quirky attitude, so it's likely to keep young children entertained.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 30, 2020

Fantastical tale has wacky characters, music, cartoon peril.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2020

Animal Crackers may win over some young viewers with its zany energy, yet it doesn't do enough to eschew its standard-issue design.

Animal Crackers isn't the best animated film you'll ever see, but it is FAR from the worst...Imperfect, sure, but kids will almost certainly dig it. And really - isn't that all you need?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 28, 2020

The problem with Animal Crackers lies in the convoluted story with too many characters to become invested in.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 27, 2020

The filmmakers are fond of this conceit to the detriment of the script, which has big archetypal roles for these seasoned actors but nowhere for them to actually take the characters. Danny DeVito plays a sad clown; in some sense, so does everybody else.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2020

This was actually completed in 2017. It's been on the shelf since then, where it should have stayed, as it's pretty terrible.

| Jul 24, 2020

The plot is ungainly and awkward, the dialogue is clumsy and unfunny and the characters are forgettable bores.

| Jul 24, 2020

It's kind of admirable in its ambition.

| Jul 24, 2020

An all-star vocal cast and a creative premise help this animated charmer overcome a bumpy start.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 24, 2020

Everything moves along briskly, punctuated with colorful characters, animal and human, and lively musical numbers.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 24, 2020

Proceeds like a John Steinbeck tome for kindergartners.

If "Animal Crackers" never quite matches the mania of "Meet the Robinsons," nor the comic wit of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meetballs," it still moves so fast that less generic animation might have seemed like a waste.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 23, 2020

Animal Crackers' musical moments becomes one of this international co-production's great assets. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 23, 2020

A charming bouillabaisse of music and comedy, and, for the wee ones, it's something of an introduction to the body horror subgenre. Long live the new cracker flesh.

| Original Score: B | Jul 23, 2020

The perfect family night movie that will have kids (and adults!) cracking up. With an unbelievable all star cast, Animal Crackers is a must watch!

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 21, 2020

[A] delightfully inventive, frequently hilarious animated feature.
