	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Its mostly fast-moving roller coaster of kinetic action and its menagerie of fantastic creatures – from cute to menacing – should keep kids entertained. They’ll also have no trouble grasping the simple message to face your fears and embrace change"
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Part family adventure story, part romance and part eye-popping thrill ride (...) The main problem with the film is that the script simply isn't very funny, and its various subplots never quite mesh satisfyingly together"
		Peter Howell Toronto Star	"A cross between The Flintstones and Ice Age, serving neither influence (...) Neither as thrilling nor as funny as it ought to be (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"It's the kind of rib-tickling, emotionally satisfying, universally appealing effort that gives computer animation a good name (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It's amiable enough, but it makes 'The Flintstones' look like it was scripted by Karl Popper (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"The movie is more like play-it-safe Grug than clever interloper Guy — far too straight-laced when it desperately needs to loosen up."
