Reviews & comments
Flicks, Adam Fresco
flicksThis story about Migo, a Yeti who believes in “Small Foot,” a terrifying beast “with perfect white teeth” and “minty fresh breath”—a “freakishly small” creature who turns out to be a human— is a family-friendly fable told from the Abominable Snowperson’s perspective. From a story by Despicable Me writer Sergio Pablos, the central conceit echoes Monsters, Inc., deftly sidestepping scaring little ones by placing sympathy with the supposedly chilling creatures.
Variety
pressIf "Smallfoot" proves anything, it's not the existence of yetis, but the need for a fresh approach to such lazy storytelling.
The New York Times
pressThe movie, directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, has just enough wit and visual invention to get by.
Sydney Morning Herald
press[Smallfoot] offers plenty of opportunities for the kind of physical comedy for which the old Warners teams were renowned.
Screen Daily
pressIt's a playful inversion of the bigfoot legend, cautioning against unthinking compliance, championing curiosity and encouraging putting oneself in another's shoes (or feet).
New Zealand Herald
pressDespite feeling pretty inconsequential throughout much of its running time, Smallfoot's hopeful finale is unexpectedly uplifting.
Hollywood Reporter
pressCarries sufficient charm and a bit of unexpected depth to justify its breezy existence.
