Critics' reviews

"'We're Back' is an exercise in endurance -- not only is it dull, but it has such an overwhelming sense of sweetness that it threatens to become nauseating."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"In spite of narrative problems... the film's chief appeal is its central conceit -- that giant monsters... can be transformed into [ceatures] who like to play with children."

Variety
"It's shallow and kind of dumb, and the animation is routine, and the story isn't much, and the stakes are a lot higher these days in the featurelength animation game. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"It's vividly animated, it's friendly -- and it's not too long."

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
"Mercifully, this feature is only about 80 minutes long. It probably won't frighten kids, but it might bore them instead."

Pamela Bruce: Austin Chronicle
