Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The film is faboulously colourful, but the story lack depth and the characters are not all that interesting. With big expectations for the film, I must admit I was a bit disappointed, although still entertaining. The 'comic relief' characters are downright silly and would have been better without, as they appeal more to a very young demographic.

Whenever I saw this movie was on TV, I would just keep scrolling until one day I decided to DVR and watch it with my toddler. I actually really enjoyed it. Sure, there were some cheesy parts, but there was no over-hyped romance either. The story concluded with an older daughter reuniting and connecting with her dad - which is a great lesson for kids. The animation is not "wow" level like Tangled or Moana. The voice actors did a great job, and again, the story itself is really good.

This movie is absolutely boring. All it has is a lack of CGI as this movie is very dull and boring. It's not as worse than the Fantastic Four 2015 film. The animation was so godawful. I only watched it once and one time is absolutely enough. Do not ever watch this stupid movie. It will ruin your brain.

Being a minority, I actually read The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs (great book by the way), and when I saw this movie I felt disappointed. Again the minority, but I am the only one disapproving this movie for what it did to its source material. It paid no homeage to William Joyce, and didn't even end with a spider queen end credits scene like I expected it to halfway through the movie. Now about the movie. Getting nothing but the leaf men from the book, and turning them into a community of forest police, this movie felt bland. Things like mkay's dead mom and rembembering her again and again, and her bonding with nod about his dead parent. Why the hell do we need to know that?! Nod feels extremely unnecessary as ronin could have easily covered for him. Along with the Jar Jar Binks slug characters, unnecessary notions to characters we need to know nothing about, and sad fails at humor all this movie has is decent animation. This movie strays so far from the plot while already being in it, it is frustrating. You know this movie is trying to get you to like it with celebrity voice actors playing tiny parts,potty humor, and relateable characters and stories. The only reason I give this movie a 4 instead of 1 is because the "other dimension" thing with the bugs and forest life is clever, along with other tie-ins through small characters. I highly suggest you don't watch this movie unless you have a 3 year old who this movie is trying to impress.
