Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 1d
I found it surprisingly charming, and entertaining, and kind of uplifting, Go to Full Review Linda Marric HeyUGuys 1d
4/5
It may not redefine the genre, but it delivers a cheerful, imaginative escape that should keep family audiences thoroughly entertained. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall The Age (Australia) 3d
3.5/5
