Critics Consensus

Animal Crackers is far from the most distinctive animated fare, but its wacky humor and zippy speed make it a decent diversion for younger viewers.

Everything moves along briskly, punctuated with colorful characters, animal and human, and lively musical numbers.

Proceeds like a John Steinbeck tome for kindergartners.

B-

If "Animal Crackers" never quite matches the mania of "Meet the Robinsons," nor the comic wit of "Cloudy with a Chance of Meetballs," it still moves so fast that less generic animation might have seemed like a waste.

3/5

Animal Crackers is not perfect but it's a good directorial debut for Sava that is ultimately fun and offers families a wacky afternoon's viewing, with an uplifting final note and, in these tough times, that's a good thing to strive for and achieve.

Not as tasty as it could and should have been but a decent diversion for the preschool set. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Scary Scenes, etc. - also Available)

The animated adventure ends up working despite all the questions that arise from the plot's inconsistency. [Full review in Spanish]

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Put this on for children at work, had to turn it off around 12 minutes. There is some mild violence where a man is attacked by a cat with a dog comedically biting a man's rear revealing his "buns of steel" underwear. Interesting comedy choice for children, but okay. Where I had to pull the cord was when a LARGE-breasted woman is running towards a man with intense jiggling and a camera zooming in under a dress at her butt. This is TV-7??? NO.

Animal Crackers was an amazing movie. I watched it kind of a long time ago, but I remember it was pretty good. Animal Crackers was a very interesting movie. What a good movie.
