Critic Reviews

A gentle and sweet whimsy, attentive to the love between the two brothers, respectful of the boy's growth and curiosity.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Has enough charm and whimsy to capture the attention and imagination of children and parents alike, and arguably represents one of the best live-action family films to enter theaters this year.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Writer-director Tim McCanlies works in broad, kid-friendly strokes, and he's not afraid to lay on the sentiment, but his cast makes sure it's well-earned. Full Review

Keith Phipps
The Onion (A.V. Club)

Awash in nostalgia, "Lions" combines a gentle coming-of-age story with swashbuckling fantasy. While it lacks a necessary tension in its establishing scenes and might be too soft for those who prefer grittier fare.Full Review

May be pure hokum, but at least it knows how to spin a yarn.Full Review
