Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and middling reviews (67% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful. Fans of The Adventures of Tintin or The Summit of the Gods should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
