Reviews
"Amid the noisy, epic action of most kid-oriented features, this film's story is clear and effective: a sweet-hearted narrative of how friendship can broaden one's horizons."
"A charming family-friendly story about adventure and friendship - told with bar-raising artistic craft and technical skill. We'd expect nothing less from LAIKA."
"...no animation studio can build a world quite like LAIKA can."
"A sweet, distinctively animated bit of all-ages entertainment."
