| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenFrench monster movie encourages looking past the surface. |
| Cairo360Yasmin ShehabIt's quaint, a little rustic but magical in its own way. |
| SFX MagazineAndrew OsmondSolidly staged and charmingly quirky, but be prepared for a few longueurs. |
| Film RacketBill Gibronproves there is life beyond the Hollywood hit machine and the omnipresent House of Mouse |
| The National (UAE)Jo BerryThis is almost more for adults than children, who may not appreciate the richly coloured animation, the lovely period-style music or the gentle storyline that relies on warm humour rather than out-and-out laughs. |
| 3AWJim SchembriLovely French animated period comedy offers a monster story with a charming difference... A flighty, enjoyable confection and very pretty to look at. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterA heady, intoxicating blend of the romantic majesty and rich culture of the City of Lights and the legacy provided by a century of great animation from both sides of the Atlantic courses through this beautiful film's DNA. |
| Little White LiesDan BrightmoreAbove all it's just plain fun, and the songs are catchy, too. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe manic story shoots off in so many directions it is a mess but Paris looks marvellous, the songs are pretty and the film has charm. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe film has something of Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, and indeed King Kong, but has an eccentric style of its own: a decent children's film. |
