Critics Consensus: Inert animation and generically chipper characters rob Once Upon a Forest of any personality despite its well-intentioned message and critter appeal for very young children.

Reviews

Hartford Courant

Malcolm Johnson

A pleasing, sweet primer in caring for our flora and fauna.

Independent on Sunday

Quentin Curtis

For all the feeling the drawing instills in the figures, it might be termed inanimation.

It's a good thing this breezy animated adventure lasts only slightly more than 70 minutes. Children will no doubt enjoy its simple tale, but would probably grow restless if it went on for a minute longer.

Philadelphia Inquirer

Desmond Ryan

Respect for nature and the environment is a message that no one would quarrel with, but this is yet another example of a movie that can't or won't differentiate between technology and the use to which it is put.

The characters are not memorable; the songs are lame and the drawing style is pedestrian.
