Critical reception

[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 78% based on 9 critical reviews.[3] The Hollywood Reporter's Jordan Mintzer wrote that with its "broadly sketched characters and a narrative that feels closer to an afterschool special", the film "offers the kind of unsophisticated children's entertainment you don’t necessarily see being made anymore".[4] The Age's Jake Wilson thought the film was simplistic and unoriginal, but "retains a good deal of charm".[5]
