	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An overproduced, oversugared semi-animated children's fantasy adventure (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Neil Smith BBC	"Besson's labour of love is a feast for the eyes but leaves the imagination distinctly undernourished."
		Kyle Smith New York Post	"This kids' cartoon from France is such a surreally demented attempt to connect with children that it's the equivalent of foie gras breakfast cereal or a bleu cheese milkshake."
		Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"Enjoyable and imaginative despite its formulaic qualities."
		Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"Besson is a pro when it comes to action movies, but this part live, part animation effort is a mess"
		Derek Adams Time Out	"It's erratically plotted, poorly animated, overly derivative and too insufferably cute to interest anyone above undemanding toddler age."
		Robert Koehler Variety	"As overproduced and acrid as The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc and The Fifth Element."
		Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"The CG work is clever but cannot measure up to Pixar's standards in cleverness or imagination. Nothing is fresh here."
