| AV ClubTasha RobinsonFor all the inevitable comparisons to March Of The Penguins, Arctic Tale isn't quite a nature documentary. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsValerie KuklenskiArctic Tale conveys the [environmental] message to kids in an endearing story wrapped around some of the most compelling footage ever captured at the top of the world. |
| Premiere MagazineDebbie Day"It's a playful study of Arctic life, starring a polar bear cub, its prey, and a tagalong fox -- with the inevitable dramatic moments when bear meets walrus." |
| NewsdayJan StuartArctic Tale is yet another wildlife orgy of ooh-ing and aah-ing designed to expose young ones to the lifestyles of the furry and the fabulous. |

| PopMattersCynthia FuchsThe baby bear is undeniably adorable, the maturing walrus is a fascinating social being. But the film's storytelling contrivances are unconvincing. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallWatching these endangered species evolve new approaches to hunting and shelter is fascinating, but the movie is seriously marred by a cloying screenplay and such kid-pleasing touches as shots of walruses belching and farting. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThough the journey is a little bumpy, it's still a trip well worth taking, for all ages. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertWhether you're more attuned to adorable animals or environmental issues, Arctic Tale is pretty cool. |
| E! OnlineMatt StevensNo, it doesn't stand up to March of the Penguins or soar like Winged Migration, but this family-friendly flick does manage the happy feat of raising eco-awareness. |
