Epic animation

"While it might not amount to epic animated filmmaking in terms of scope and invention, 'Epic' (...) nevertheless makes for pleasantly engaging viewing" 

"A reasonably entertaining, adeptly crafted kidpic whose biggest crime is its near pathological reliance on overfamiliar tropes and trappings" 

"As beautiful as it is, 'Epic' is fatally lacking in visceral momentum and dramatic edge" 

"I had the sensation of sitting through a fourth-grade school play that contained no children of my own: the very definition of a nightmare (...) Rating: ★½ (out of five)" 

"It's difficult to keep its story and characters, or even its visual design, in your mind's eye, in part because the five credited screenwriters overload the narrative with incident and threatening complication (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" 

"While it’s not a crossover classic, this has enough wit and charm to entertain both big and little people (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
