They say: The film has something of Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, and indeed King Kong, but has an eccentric style of its own: a decent children's film. (Peter Bradshaw The Guardian)
It is clever, quite funny and beautifully animated, with lovely Parisian scenes…(Roz Laws Birmingham Post)
We think: Despite a few lengths and a light script, this is a good fun movie for little ones and parents alike. A rare family treat.
