Karen Han

Slashfilm

Unfortunately, the more "real" the movie tries to make everything appear, the harder it becomes to ignore that the necessity to their falling in love isn't particularly romantic

Rated: 4/10

Culturess

Its misguided attempts to secure Best Original Song nominations bloat like a puffer fish, turning a swift 90-minute movie into a cumbersome two-hour snoozefest.

The Ringer

The live-action remake of the 1991 Disney classic hits all the right nostalgic notes - if only it dared to take a few more risks.

Don Shanahan

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Imitation, emulation, and homage are all part of that process, but so is reappraisal and reinterpretation. Those later two actions are what drive this new fantasy film to soaring and successful heights.

Rated: 4/5

Cory Woodroof

For the Win (USA Today)

This film is a careless exercise in capital gain; it mines a true cinema classic for commercial value and leaves nothing artistic in its wake.
