| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesSuccessfully helps to fill that Christian focused Christmas movie void with a fun adventure for children with a message that will resonate with parents. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferAn enormously entertaining film filled with plenty of delightful thrills, humor, wit, and pathos. Kids will love it. It's among the best animated films of 2017. |
| HollywoodInToto.comChristian TotoFunny characters. Gentle slapstick. A faith-friendly narrative that won't annoy non-believers. What's not to enjoy? |
