Smallfoot was a pleasant surprise, in spite of its overstuffing and occasional weak writing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024

Light, breezy, clever, and has plenty of heart.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

A really beautiful kids movie... There's great music.

Smallfoot tickles the funny bone throughout.

| Aug 12, 2021

A big splashy movie stuffed with important ideas. Unfortunately propping those ideas up is only about an hour's worth of story padded with songs and silliness to an hour and forty minutes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2021

You must 'sas-watch' this (sorry).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

More than just jesting comedy aimed at younger audiences; it has a deeper message dressed up in woolly warmth and detail. It's delightfully filled with family fun that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2020

Smallfoot ends up as a messy mix of socio-theological allegory and straightforward fluff with a narrative that's too often frozen in its tracks.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

Most of the voice actors are fun and chipper, but it feels like a work that's spending too much effort pandering to younger audience members.

Although it's not on a par with the best of Pixar-Disney, this Warner Bros. release recalls the golden age of Looney Tunes in its energy, inventiveness, and subversive humor.

| Mar 3, 2020

Smallfoot believes in a community's ability to choose its destiny, as opposed to be kept in the dark for its own good. Good on you, movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2020

Overall the movie was cute, but it was not an amazing piece of film-making that we've come to expect from Pixar. It also wasn't a ton of silly jokes like we get from the Illumination Entertainment team but it's a good step forward for WAG after Storks.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 11, 2020

[The film's] simplistic binary between faith and science dangerously obscures the more nuanced reality.

| Aug 20, 2019

Small Foot will also provoke controversy, especially from religious groups. Depending on one's viewpoint, Small Foot can make the argument either for or against organized religion.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 12, 2019

though there's not enough of the Wile E. Coyote-style slapstick, it's a lot of amiable fun for the kids

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2019

Packed with enough charm and goodwill to entertain all children of all ages.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 5, 2019

When we've all been spoiled prior with clever animation that mixes wit and whimsy with such ease, a product like Smallfoot can't help but feel a little ordinary.

| May 2, 2019

This is a fun film that the whole family can enjoy.

| Mar 25, 2019

It's sort of weird but creative.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2019

This is a fun, although imperfect, kids movie that actually has something to say about the way we treat those we see as "other". That alone makes it worth the ticket, but there's also a hip-hop opus by Common that's too good to miss.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 13, 2019
