"… like being wrapped in a blanket stitched with stardust."

"Intelligently scripted and playfully realised."

"Charming enough, and frequently funny."

"A perfectly nice kiddie sci-fi adventure."

"The all-ages pleasures of peak Pixar are in short supply."

"Surprising how well it’s still managed to emerge the other side with a cohesive and distinctive voice."

"A vivid, sweet but not saccharine voyage of discovery."

"Most fun once it becomes a buddy movie."

"Has real trouble getting out of its own head."

"The film's aliens are truly some of the most, well, alien character designs to grace the big screen in quite some time."

"Pixar has begun doing what it once seemed it never would: repeating itself."

"Most striking is how it depicts the slippery feeling of yearning for something we might not even know exists."

"Nothing here resonates and its slavish adherence to recent Pixar formula is ultimately deadening."

"Not just the children in the audience who are transported to another time and place, but the adults as well."

"A nice, frequently rewarding 100 minutes."
