Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) I thought [director] Don Hahn did a beautiful job. You could really feel his affection for Howard. It's a moving and richly layered portrait. Aug 18, 2020 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Hahn ... performs a delicate balancing act as he puts audio interviews over old photos, archive footage, and occasional animations. Rated: 4/5 Aug 14, 2020 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Mostly it will just make you hungry to revisit Ashman's work. That's perhaps not the intended result of this fond tribute/merely serviceable survey of a too-short career - but it's not necessarily a bad one. Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Howard is a touching and tender tribute to a talent taken far too soon that investigates the impact Howard Ashman had on Disney as a whole. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Hahn sketches Ashman as a complicated, if proud, individual who didnt hesitate to let his experience as a gay man or elements of queer culture pop up in his work. Rated: 4/4 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) Howard delivers a feast for the eyes and ears. Jul 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Dave C A beautiful look at the life behind some of the most iconic and timeless classics of some of the biggest Disney animations. For me, it served as an informative introduction to Howard, not having known his name or role within Disney before. What an artist! As with so many crushing stories of lives lost to AIDS, his is a legacy cut short, and watching this has made me so happy I am such a huge fan of his work... and now I can proudly share his name alongside my power ballad singing on car journeys and at home! Lol. Thank you to the producers and contributors for this snapshot Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Jens B A tender, touching portrait of an artist gone way too soon. I liked the decision of not making this a "Talking-Heads-Experience". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Audience Member It was an interesting look at the life of Howard Ashman and how creative he was from an early age before he went on to the Disney Studios to create classics like Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid, and Aladdin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful tribute and a complete story to one of the greatest geniuses of the of all time, also very respectful with every single one, thank you Disney for this necessary homage for an icon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review dave d Hubby and Wife date night brings us 'Howard' which isn't about a duck, but rather the brilliant Howard Ashman, the man behind the renaissance of Disney animation in the 80s and 90s. The documentary covers a lot of ground and it's a look not only at the man but his process. This is the genius behind films like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Anybody into animated films, or docs needs to check this out. Hubby: 8.0/Wife: 8.5 Average: 8.3/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member In akin to Disney's previous gifted documentaries respectfully honoring notable legends and celebrative stories to unveil with excellent informative delivery, this one is the most heartrending as passionate lyricist Howard Ashman provided insightful storytelling method that not only added a new layer to his projects but also seen as pivotal revitalization for the Renaissance's direction.
