2.5/4
The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) May 6
It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush. Go to Full Review

2/5
Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers May 30
It'll pop for family audiences and bring a bit of that cutesy charm that Pixar and DreamWorks of old used to bring to the table. Go to Full Review

4/5
A simple adventure, this animal buddy movie follows the genre's tropes perfectly without straying too far, but precisely because of its simplicity, it works where it needs to. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Vitor E @RT29647179 2h It's very appealing to all ages, a very good, wonderful animation, a truly exciting film, every detail, every animal in the forest, not to mention that it surpasses many new Disney films. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera 1d It’s a good movie that definitely came as a pleasant surprise. It’s a great choice for a Sunday afternoon watch with the family; the narrative is enjoyable, and the plot’s fast pace is very well executed. It was a great movie to watch once, though I don’t think I’ll watch it again. See more I am L @IAmLindsay 3d Me: If you excepting this to A freaky Friday clone then you are sorely mistaken, It actually has more to it then you think, Like how people think Disney Pixars Hoppers was first thought to be just like James Cameron's Avater, remember that quote & let me say it for this that SkyDance Studios Swapped is definitely nothing like Freaky Friday & that what makes it brilliant & The Best Flim SkyDance Studios has ever made🤩 & you all would agree that it's way better then Spellbond too ( Which I also liked that movie & I honestly never hated the studio to begin with ) And to think It almost felt like 5 years ago I gave their first flim Riverdance a 6.5/10 during the pandemic & I also made their 2nd flim Luck in my Top 10 favorites movies of 2022, And I am not letting anyone judge me about what I like & dont like ever aging, Plus John Lassiter was the one deliberately sabotaging the studio like an itoit this whole time ;) Story: 96/100 Animation: 12/10 Characters: 94/100 Overall: 12/10 🦜💜🐿️ See more Nate S @smithn1124 6d Swapped ended up being a pretty cute, wholesome, and heartfelt adventure that took full advantage of its talent. The voice acting was solid, the animation was shockingly great, the story and its themes were succinct and clear for kids, and Siddhartha Khlosa’s score was able to glide and satisfy in its simplicity. See more Ricardo D @RT43154676 Jul 9 Muito bem desenhado, bela trilha sonora e bons momentos finais bem emocionantes. See more jon T @TwoKidsAndAReview Jul 2 I really enjoyed this movie. One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in a while. It has kind of a Freaky Friday vibe, but it’s still unique enough that it doesn’t feel like a copy. The animation looked really crisp, and the animal designs were actually pretty original. I also liked the lesson behind it. It does a good job showing that you don’t always know how much you’ve helped someone or how much your kindness mattered. I do think the story moved a little too fast at times, and there were a few parts that could have been explained better. But honestly, kids probably won’t care much about that. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for a family movie night. Fun, creative, good message, and way better than a lot of random kids’ movies out there. See more Read all reviews
