Variety’s Owen Gleiberman writes, “Sweet-spirited and pristine, directed and co-written by Dan Scanlon (Monsters University) with a visual prankishness that’s friendly and winsome and at moments breathtaking, it’s nevertheless the kind of Pixar film that feels like it was compounded almost entirely out of other visions.
