A Sloth Story

A Sloth Story suffers from a plasticky visual design. The characters seem stiff, like action figures, and their food items, meant to look appetizing, are often rendered as colored medallions.

Like the earlier movies in the series, it’s perfectly adequate for little kids but with little character of its own and a straight-to-download-style blandness.

It's an entertaining option for families looking for a light film, but don't expect a memorable or innovative cinematic experience. [Full review in Spanish]

It’s a story embedded in family values, personal growth, Latino representation and culture, and how one shouldn’t give in to detrimental external pressures to impress others and fit in.



A Sloth Story is clearly aimed at kids, but it doesn’t quite respect their intelligence.


A Sloth Story delivers a message with warmth, charm, and just enough energy for its younger audiences.

Though the plot is relatively straightforward, the meaningful character development makes A Sloth Story a worthwhile family movie night pick.



A Sloth Story sprinkles sazón picante on the lovable critters in a teachable narrative about a Latino family sticking together when the going gets tough. The surprisingly deep plot tackles serious themes and does tread melodramatic at times.

Directors Tania Vincent and Ricard Cussó bring a story of ups and downs, where there are scenes of emotion and inspiration that do not quite come together&#59; hand in hand with a lot of action interspersed with minutes of lethargy. [Full Review in Spanish]

It’s heartwarming, the occasionally funny moments aren’t shoehorned in, and the story has a solid message that plays into the sloth of it all.
