Leave your thoughts about Barney's Great Adventure.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIf you like him on TV, you'll like him here, too, because it's more of the same stuff, only outdoors and with animals and shooting stars and the kinds of balloons people can go up in. |
| Entertainment WeeklyTy BurrBarney’s Great Adventure is insipid, but it’s also harmless, and, besides, why shouldn’t toddlers enjoy the pleasures of their own kitsch? |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackThe film is a fairly happy excuse to give the beloved dinosaur some room to do what he likes best -- sing kid-friendly songs and peddle a twinkly message that imagination and kindness are good things. |
| Miami HeraldLeila Cobo-HanlonAlthough the film is longer than the television and video segments children this age are accustomed to, the pacing is brisk enough to hold them. |
| New York TimesPatricia S. McCormickAlthough the film is longer than the television and video segments children this age are accustomed to, the pacing is brisk enough to hold them. |
| Houston ChronicleLouis B. ParksPre-schoolers, however, will find enough to keep them occupied, and won't mind the cheesy effects. |
| The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldThe kids are fine, the original songs range from OK to wretched, and Barney is annoying as ever -- even more so, given his big-screen size and Dolby-enhanced guffaw. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAlthough its entertainment value to adults is negligible, it is a safe, harmless bet for families, one parents will neither regret nor fondly remember after it's over. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorWith very little modification, this archly innocuous children's musical could have been marketed as a sequel to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. |
| VarietyTodd McCarthyArguably the most critic-proof picture of the decade, Barney's Great Adventure will delight everyone who can't wait to see it and be a grin-and-bear-it experience for those who must accompany members of the former group. |
