Migo is a friendly Yeti whose world gets turned upside down when he discovers something that he didn't know existed -- a human. He soon faces banishment from his snowy home when the rest of the villagers refuse to believe his fantastic tale. Hoping to prove them wrong, Migo embarks on an epic journey to find the mysterious creature that can put him back in good graces with his simple community.

| 290926 | Calum Cooper | Source (Scotland) | Fresh | 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024 | 2024-07-14 17:00:00 | Smallfoot was a pleasant surprise, in spite of its overstuffing and occasional weak writing. |
| 290927 | M.N. Miller | Ready Steady Cut | Fresh | 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022 | 2022-08-16 17:00:00 | Light, breezy, clever, and has plenty of heart. |
| 290928 | Lonita Cook | KCTV5 News at 9 | Fresh | — | Oct 13, 2021 | 2021-10-13 17:00:00 | A really beautiful kids movie... There's great music. |
| 290929 | Hosea Rupprecht | Catholic News Service | Fresh | — | Aug 12, 2021 | 2021-08-12 17:00:00 | Smallfoot tickles the funny bone throughout. |
| 290930 | Richard Crouse | Richard Crouse | Fresh | 3/5 | Mar 1, 2021 | 2021-03-01 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290931 | Andrew Gaudion | THN | Fresh | 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020 | 2020-08-28 17:00:00 | You must 'sas-watch' this (sorry). |
| 290933 | Matt Cipolla | Film Monthly | Rotten | 2.5/5 | Jul 24, 2020 | 2020-07-24 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290932 | Zehra Phelan | Flavourmag | Fresh | 3/5 | Jul 24, 2020 | 2020-07-24 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290934 | Steven Prokopy | Third Coast Review | Rotten | — | Jun 23, 2020 | 2020-06-23 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290935 | Andrea Gronvall | Chicago Reader | Fresh | — | Mar 3, 2020 | 2020-03-03 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290936 | Jorge Ignacio Castillo | Planet S Magazine | Fresh | 3/5 | Feb 6, 2020 | 2020-02-06 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290937 | Julian Lytle | Punch Drunk Critics | Fresh | 3/5 | Jan 10, 2020 | 2020-01-10 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290938 | Brett McCracken | The Gospel Coalition | Rotten | — | Aug 19, 2019 | 2019-08-19 17:00:00 | [The film's] simplistic binary between faith and science dangerously obscures the more nuanced reality. |
| 290939 | Allison Rose | FlickDirect | Fresh | 3.5/5 | Jul 12, 2019 | 2019-07-12 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290940 | Chris Hunneysett | Daily Mirror (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | Jun 9, 2019 | 2019-06-09 17:00:00 | though there's not enough of the Wile E. Coyote-style slapstick, it's a lot of amiable fun for the kids |
| 290941 | Lisa Giles-Keddie | HeyUGuys | Fresh | 3/5 | Jun 5, 2019 | 2019-06-05 17:00:00 | Packed with enough charm and goodwill to entertain all children of all ages. |
| 290942 | Peter Gray | This is Film | Rotten | — | May 2, 2019 | 2019-05-02 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290943 | S. Indra Sathiabalan | The Sun Daily (Malaysia) | Fresh | — | Mar 25, 2019 | 2019-03-25 17:00:00 | This is a fun film that the whole family can enjoy. |
| 290944 | Rachel Wagner | Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) | Fresh | 3/5 | Feb 13, 2019 | 2019-02-13 17:00:00 | It's sort of weird but creative. |
| 290945 | Sherin Nicole | idobi.com | Fresh | C+ | Jan 13, 2019 | 2019-01-13 17:00:00 | 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. |
| 290946 | Kt Schaefer | Next Best Picture | Fresh | 6/10 | Jan 9, 2019 | 2019-01-09 17:00:00 | It may not become a classic but it is still a fun watch. |
| 290947 | Matt Brunson | Film Frenzy | Rotten | 2/4 | Dec 22, 2018 | 2018-12-22 17:00:00 | Mediocre, but alert adults will at least appreciate the message about the need to reject "alternative facts" spouted by fear-mongering leaders. |
| 290948 | Louisa Moore | Screen Zealots | Fresh | 3.5/5 | Dec 21, 2018 | 2018-12-21 17:00:00 | The progressive message elevates this kid-friendly entertainment into something far more meaningful. |
| 290949 | Mike McGranaghan | Aisle Seat | Fresh | 3/4 | Dec 11, 2018 | 2018-12-11 17:00:00 | The central joke in Smallfoot is a bit corny, but if you can get past it, you'll find a fairly charming little family picture. |
| 290950 | Allen Adams | The Maine Edge | Fresh | 4/5 | Dec 6, 2018 | 2018-12-06 17:00:00 | Smallfoot is a surprisingly sophisticated allegory about the consequences of conformity and the importance of questioning authority. Oh, and the songs are catchy too. |
| 290951 | John Hanlon | John Hanlon Reviews | Fresh | 3.0/4 | Nov 24, 2018 | 2018-11-24 17:00:00 | With some great songs and a few moments of levity, this animated film is a colorful delight. |
| 290952 | Sarah Cartland | Caution Spoilers | Fresh | 3/5 | Nov 8, 2018 | 2018-11-08 17:00:00 | Digging deeper than many such films, and with strong messages. But if that sounds heavy going for your five year old, fear not, as it's also an engaging movie with bouncy songs and a sense of history (albeit Yeti history) running through it. |
| 290953 | Carlos Díaz Reyes | Vanguardia (Mexico) | Fresh | 7/10 | Nov 5, 2018 | 2018-11-05 17:00:00 | It's modest ambitions succeed and it leaves a good taste. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 290954 | Sinead Brennan | RTÉ (Ireland) | Fresh | 3.5/5 | Oct 17, 2018 | 2018-10-17 17:00:00 | With laugh-out-loud moments and cracking songs, Smallfoot is great fun. |
| 290959 | Andrea Smith | Sunday Independent (Ireland) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 15, 2018 | 2018-10-15 17:00:00 | It's sweet, funny and musical but it is unlikely to become a classic. |
| 290958 | Matthew Bond | The Mail on Sunday (UK) | Fresh | 4/5 | Oct 15, 2018 | 2018-10-15 17:00:00 | Smallfoot is a nicely visualised and cleverly written children's animation. |
| 290957 | Damian Levy | Jamaica Gleaner | Rotten | — | Oct 15, 2018 | 2018-10-15 17:00:00 | The best parts of the movie come in scenes where the characters act unpredictably. Unfortunately, Smallfoot wants to play everything so safe that it just comes off as dull. |
| 290956 | Edward Porter | Sunday Times (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 15, 2018 | 2018-10-15 17:00:00 | The movie fares better with something on which most folk are already in happy agreement: the fun to be had from Looney Tunes-style slapstick. |
| 290955 | Susan Granger | SSG Syndicate | Fresh | 6/10 | Oct 15, 2018 | 2018-10-15 17:00:00 | Slyly subversive, encouraging children to question authority and learn to think for themselves. |
| 290961 | Sarah Knight Adamson | Hollywood360 Radio | Rotten | 2/4 | Oct 14, 2018 | 2018-10-14 17:00:00 | Sadly, overly-stuffed "Smallfoot" invents modern fairy tale notions about Yeti's, with mediocre animation, and songs without actually teaching anything of substance to kids. |
| 290960 | Simran Hans | Observer (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 14, 2018 | 2018-10-14 17:00:00 | The songs are a bum note, but the film does raise thoughtful questions about dogma, fake news and the identity crises that might occur once a community's core beliefs are challenged. |
| 290964 | Jo Berry | Movies4Kids | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 12, 2018 | 2018-10-12 17:00:00 | Not as smartly funny as animated movies like The Lego Movie or Disney/Pixar's output, but there is a warmth and sweetness here that should appeal to younger children |
| 290963 | Javier Ocaña | El Pais (Spain) | Fresh | — | Oct 12, 2018 | 2018-10-12 17:00:00 | Seasoned by timely songs, Smallfoot bets on concord from social criticism. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 290962 | Mark Kermode | Kermode & Mayo's Film Review | Fresh | — | Oct 12, 2018 | 2018-10-12 17:00:00 | It's weirdly and oddly and bizarrely and unexpectedly subversive. |
| 290968 | Cath Clarke | Guardian | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 11, 2018 | 2018-10-11 17:00:00 | The conceit is nicely done, and the film's unexpectedly heartfelt message about empathy and looking at the world through someone else's eyes just about makes up for its bland animation, smart-arsed script and generic clappy-blah songs. |
| 290967 | Geoffrey Macnab | Independent (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 11, 2018 | 2018-10-11 17:00:00 | Smallfoot may not be on the level of the best Pixar and Dreamworks efforts but it will make passable half-term viewing for family audiences. |
| 290966 | Brian Viner | Daily Mail (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 11, 2018 | 2018-10-11 17:00:00 | On the whole this isn't a bad bet for what seems likely, for many of us, to be a wet and windy weekend. |
| 290965 | Kevin Maher | The Times (UK) | Rotten | 2/5 | Oct 11, 2018 | 2018-10-11 17:00:00 | It's mostly didactic, tuneless and dull. |
| 290972 | Amy West | Empire Magazine | Fresh | 4/5 | Oct 10, 2018 | 2018-10-10 17:00:00 | Smallfoot effectively weaves powerful messages into a fun, heart-warming animation that is sure to appeal to audiences both young and old. |
| 290971 | Matt Rodriguez | Shakefire | Fresh | C | Oct 10, 2018 | 2018-10-10 17:00:00 | Smallfoot may be big on its idea but small on delivery. The film won't dazzle you like the likes of Disney/Pixar, but there are some genuinely heartfelt moments to be had. |
| 290970 | Eric D. Snider | Crooked Marquee | Fresh | B | Oct 10, 2018 | 2018-10-10 17:00:00 | Comfortable territory, executed with cheerful aplomb. Many fine gags and good slapsticky shenanigans. |
| 290969 | Christopher Lloyd | The Film Yap | Rotten | 3/5 | Oct 10, 2018 | 2018-10-10 17:00:00 | A middling bit of animation, Smallfoot is built for small children to love and parents to endure. |
| 290974 | Eddie Harrison | The List | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 8, 2018 | 2018-10-08 17:00:00 | If the setting and characters seem familiar, the film's warm and fuzzy message should stave off the winter blues. |
| 290973 | Jim Lane | Sacramento News & Review | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 8, 2018 | 2018-10-08 17:00:00 | This animated time-killer is better than it has any right to be-but it's just barely good. |
| 290975 | Josh Martin | Film Inquiry | Rotten | — | Oct 7, 2018 | 2018-10-07 17:00:00 | Adults can still enjoy this in an ironic way. Smallfoot is so unbelievable at times that I couldn't help but feel baffled and perplexed by the creative decisions on display, laughing and shaking my head as it ventured into some strange directions. |
| 290980 | Linda Cook | Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) | Fresh | 3/4 | Oct 5, 2018 | 2018-10-05 17:00:00 | 'Smallfoot' is big on music and positive themes. |
| 290979 | Tim Brayton | Alternate Ending | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 5, 2018 | 2018-10-05 17:00:00 | A little quiet modesty, free from giant setpieces or huge self-aware comic bits or commercial cross-promotion, is a very nice change of pace. |
| 290978 | Jim Judy | Screen It! | Fresh | — | Oct 5, 2018 | 2018-10-05 17:00:00 | While not the pinnacle of computer-animated offerings, what's present here works well enough to earn a recommendation. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Scary Scenes for Kids, etc. - also Available) |
| 290977 | Roxana Hadadi | Chesapeake Family Magazine | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 5, 2018 | 2018-10-05 17:00:00 | Smallfoot is brightly animated, with a gently encouraging message about curiosity, but the film's fun voice cast can't redeem its totally unnecessary songs. |
| 290976 | Alison Gillmor | Winnipeg Free Press | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 5, 2018 | 2018-10-05 17:00:00 | Comically - and often subversively - upending the Bigfoot story, this appealing but uneven animated adventure takes us to a yeti village high up on a Himalayan mountain. |
| 290985 | Erick Estrada | Cinegarage | Fresh | — | Oct 3, 2018 | 2018-10-03 17:00:00 | Children's fare that is far better than most options out there. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 290984 | Carlos Del Río | Cine Premiere | Fresh | 4/5 | Oct 3, 2018 | 2018-10-03 17:00:00 | A lucky, witty and hilarious film that finds its main merit in the point of view of its protagonists: The Yetis. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 290983 | Sr. Rose Pacatte | National Catholic Reporter | Fresh | — | Oct 3, 2018 | 2018-10-03 17:00:00 | I have to admit, animated films are not my favorite genre, but every once in a while one surprises me. The children at the advance screening loved the film but, in many ways, "Smallfoot" is a contemporary and relevant parable for teens and grownups. |
| 290982 | Laura Hiros | Diario La Estrella (Fort Worth, TX) | Fresh | 3/5 | Oct 3, 2018 | 2018-10-03 17:00:00 | [Smallfoot] questions if what we believe is the truth, a powerful message in a society flooded with decontextualized information. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 290981 | Petrana Radulovic | Polygon | Fresh | — | Oct 3, 2018 | 2018-10-03 17:00:00 | Smallfoot was funny enough. I laughed a few times. |
| 290987 | Clayton Davis | AwardsCircuit.com | Fresh | 3.5/4 | Oct 1, 2018 | 2018-10-01 17:00:00 | "Smallfoot" surprises. Co-directors Karey Kirkpatrick and Jason Reisig create a movie with a ton heart, blanketed with confidence and honesty that stands out in a year of seemingly sub-standard animation. |
| 290986 | Jeffrey M. Anderson | San Francisco Examiner | Fresh | 3.5/4 | Oct 1, 2018 | 2018-10-01 17:00:00 | The film is surprisingly smart; the characters quickly grow to be quite lovable. |
| 290988 | Tom Santilli | AXS.com | Rotten | C+ | Sep 30, 2018 | 2018-09-30 17:00:00 | ...when set next to other animated movies of late, Smallfoot comes across feeling, well, small. |
| 291004 | Rendy Jones | Rendy Reviews | Fresh | 3/5 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | All of the vocal performances are great, but the characters are written so thinly, especially when it comes to the powerful message the film tries to convey. |
| 291003 | Rubén Rosario | Hudak on Hollywood | Fresh | 2.5/4 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Even though not all of it works, and even though it takes too long to hit its stride, its call for bridge-building is a message one is never too old to take to heart. |
| 291002 | Josh Terry | Deseret News (Salt Lake City) | Rotten | 2.5/4 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | While animation can be a good tool to help kids - and adults - explore such topics, "Smallfoot" still seems a bit too heavy-handed for its own good. |
| 291001 | Laura Clifford | Reeling Reviews | Rotten | C+ | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | While the character animation is uninspired (why do these yeti have no noses?), Kirkpatrick pays homage to the physical comedy of Wile E. Coyote, uses video gaming for visual gags and gets inventive with interspecies misinterpretations. |
| 291000 | Matthew Razak | Flixist.com | Fresh | 5/10 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Smallfoot is a children's movie, and in that capacity I can't say it doesn't work. It lays out its story, delivers some jokes, has some songs, and then ends happily. |
| 290999 | Chris Bumbray | JoBlo's Movie Network | Fresh | — | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Surprisingly clever, fun kids flick. |
| 290998 | Leah Greenblatt | Entertainment Weekly | Fresh | B | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Beneath the easy slapstick, there's a timely moral too: Don't fear the unknown, embrace it. Just try not to squish it. |
| 290997 | Sara Michelle Fetters | MovieFreak.com | Rotten | 2/4 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | This is a blandly forgettable affair only the youngest members of the audience are likely to find captivating. |
| 290996 | Martin Thomas | Double Toasted | Fresh | — | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Most of the songs in it feel like standard Disney songs but [Common's] song, it could have been taken out of Hamilton. |
| 290995 | Dan Lybarger | Arkansas Democrat-Gazette | Rotten | 74/100 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | As much as I would like to applaud a movie for challenging kids not to take what adults say to them at face value, Smallfoot just left me cold. |
| 290994 | Zeenia Baria | The Times of India | Fresh | 3.5/5 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | With catchy songs and fun moments, the film is enjoyable, although the length does get a little tedious toward the end. |
| 290993 | Chris Knight | National Post | Rotten | 2.5/5 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | I wouldn't go so far as to call the results abominable, but I'll admit to checking my watch during the film's 96 minutes, wondering: Are we there, Yeti? |
| 290992 | Brandy McDonnell | The Oklahoman | Fresh | 3/4 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | It might be a Smallfoot, but a movie that values critical thinking is a big step in the right direction. |
| 290991 | Megan Basham | WORLD | Rotten | — | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | Let's just say I was glad my 9-year-old wasn't able to attend the movie with me and my 4-year-old was so bored by the heavy-handed messaging that she spent most of the movie whining for more candy. |
| 290990 | Kristian Harloff | Schmoes Know | Fresh | 3.25/5 | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | A clever little thing...take your kids for sure... |
| 290989 | Todd Jorgenson | Cinemalogue | Rotten | — | Sep 28, 2018 | 2018-09-28 17:00:00 | It's a commendable effort, although the result never quite achieves the sense of discovery or deeper emotional resonance to which it aspires. Rather than warming your heart, the film winds up leaving a chill. |
| 291027 | Brian Orndorf | Blu-ray.com | Rotten | C | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | A laborious film that's too caught up in exposition to have much fun with itself, with an uneven balance of mischief and metaphor. |
| 291026 | Fico Cangiano | CineXpress | Fresh | 3/5 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Includes great humor, music and a great message. Will be liked and enjoyed by the whole family. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 291025 | Josh Bell | The Inlander (Spokane, WA) | Rotten | 1.5/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Has a slick, anonymous style that seems designed to smooth out anything potentially distinctive or memorable. |
| 291024 | Tom Russo | Boston Globe | Fresh | 3/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | An animated feature that puts some clever thought into the fantastical, conundrum-filled world it creates. |
| 291023 | Rafer Guzman | Newsday | Fresh | 2.5/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | A think-for-yourself message makes this somewhat contrived kids' movie worth watching. |
| 291022 | Matt Neal | ABC Radio (Australia) | Fresh | 4/5 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Smallfoot looks great, sounds good, and is thoroughly and thoughtfully entertaining across its brisk running time. |
| 291021 | Ben Kenigsberg | New York Times | Fresh | — | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | The movie, directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, has just enough wit and visual invention to get by. |
| 291020 | Jane Horwitz | Washington Post | Fresh | 3/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | This entertaining fantasy has intellectual ballast, but it's cleverly disguised. |
| 291019 | Karl Puschmann | New Zealand Herald | Fresh | 3/5 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Despite feeling pretty inconsequential throughout much of its running time, Smallfoot's hopeful finale is unexpectedly uplifting. |
| 291018 | Marjorie Baumgarten | Austin Chronicle | Fresh | 3/5 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | The plot of Smallfoot inherently challenges the wisdom of this philosophy and sides in favor of truth and the questioning of authority. It is a film that encourages young yetis everywhere to cast off their intellectual blinders. |
| 291017 | Brian Lowry | CNN.com | Fresh | — | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Smallfoot has its heart in the right place, and mostly works -- managing to convey a pretty thoughtful lesson about tolerance, division and learning to see from the perspective of others within the loud, colorful, computer-rendered trappings of the genre. |
| 291016 | Sean P. Means | The Movie Cricket | Fresh | 3/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | With inventive visual gags and an oddball voice cast (which includes Gina Rodriguez and LeBron James), Smallfoot turns out to be a free-wheeling comic delight. |
| 291015 | Oliver Jones | Observer | Rotten | 1/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Hollywood animation, your rut is showing. |
| 291014 | Gaspar Zimerman | Clarín | Fresh | — | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Everything is told in a nimble and entertaining narrative. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 291013 | Rick Bentley | Tribune News Service | Rotten | 2/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Smallfoot will leave a tiny footprint on the film world. |
| 291012 | Frank Swietek | One Guy's Opinion | Rotten | C | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | A decidedly mixed bag, interesting in some narrative respects and technically strong but hobbled by mediocre songs and one especially irritating character. |
| 291011 | Ashley Menzel | We Live Entertainment | Fresh | — | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | All in all, audiences will enjoy the beautiful animation, slapstick comedy, and heartwarming moments. |
| 291010 | Mike Reyes | CinemaBlend | Rotten | 2/5 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | An animated blunder that take what could have very easily been another Storks-style win for Warner Animation Group, and turns it into a disposable kid's movie that goes through the motions. |
| 291009 | Mark Dujsik | Mark Reviews Movies | Fresh | 3/4 | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | Smallfoot doesn't evade the complexities and gloom of its eventual revelations. It offers some wisdom and hope about seemingly irreconcilable conflicts... |
| 291008 | Juanma Fernández París | El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico) | Fresh | — | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | If something distinguishes the charms of this family film is that it does not feel that it repeats proven formulas. Both the animation and the sense of humor have their distinctive and original style. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| 291007 | Robin Clifford | Reeling Reviews | Fresh | B | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018-09-27 17:00:00 | The kids will enjoy the critters and songs, but the humor evinced throughout "Smallfoot" is squarely aimed at parents and adults like me (no kids). |
