ReviewsThe Guardian - A likeable family fantasy adventure. Engaging., Time Out - [S]oaring, immersive and beautiful fight-and-flight sequences[à], Hollywood Reporter - Classy cast and stunning visuals [à], Los Angeles Times - The animation itself is startlingly beautiful, as is the ancient owl world it imagines. The battles are complex and, in true Snyder tradition, heavy on the action.
