Critic Reviews

Sierra Filucci, Common Sense Media
A few tense scenes add drama to family and friendship tale.
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
The artwork and backgrounds are so wonderful you could care less whether it's fairies onscreen or bullfrogs.
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]
Silly and glittery, with bog-standard animation, but efficient entertainment for the tweenie demographic.
David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]
The animation is crisp, if a touch generic, the voice cast convincing and the story wholesome without cloying too much.
Nigel Andrews, Financial Times
Normal paint-and-brush animation. Normal Hollywood fairies, looking like Barbie and sounding like Valley High school graduates.
Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
Faith, trust and pixie dust is the mantra of this enchanting animated adventure in which the petite fairy born of laughter finds herself trapped in the human world. Filled with inventive ideas.
