Leave your thoughts about Cane Toads: The Conquest.
| The Age (Australia)Jim SchembriDebate if you must, but Cane Toads: The Conquest just might be one of the best feature-length wildlife documentaries ever made; it's certainly one of the most entertaining - and one that easily holds up to a second screening. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyMark Lewis' fascinating-if-niche documentary intersperses great 3D shots of these glistening, gobbling Jabbas with testimonies from boffins and crackpots. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerImpressively directed, beautifully shot and quirkily irreverent, this is an entertaining, frequently fascinating documentary that manages to be both chilling and laugh-out-loud funny while delivering a serious ecological message. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThe namesake of the wacky, yet substantial documentary "Cane Toads: The Conquest" is not a creature to be taken lightly, even if the film (and the audience) has plenty of fun at his expense. |
| ScreenwizeSimon WeavingUpdating his famous 1988 documentary, Mark Lewis takes a warm and quirky look at the people who love, hate, sell, study, kill or hug the famous cane toads that have now spread across the top end of the nation. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicEducational and entertaining, Cane Toads: The Conquest offers an impartial, multi-headed and often funny look at the takeover of the great southern land by slimy, four legged monsters. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe film is horrible, true (more or less) and often funny - dogs apparently get "highs" from licking the toads' backs - even if the subject no longer has quite its first, feral freshness. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschWhile Lewis can rarely resist cracking a joke at the expense of the cane toad phenomenon, he is always careful to ensure that his film educates as it entertains. |
| sbs.com.auPeter GalvinConquest doesn't feel like it's nearly as much fun as its predecessor. |
| User ReviewTimm SOne of the best, most original films I've ever seen about toads. Also, cane toads are adorable in the best kind of pathetic way. I highly recommend this film, especially if you like to wind down with a nature film at the end of a long day, because this film has nature and so much more to offer. |
