Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Displaying a weird lack of memorable or endearing characters, this animated effort feels like a direct-to-video job from the 1990s.

Vivid and folksy, Fire & Rescue nicely exceeds expectations dampened by last summer's stalled-out Planes.

It is, in almost all respects, a better movie. It's still not particularly good, though.

rotten:
The meek action plays to the under-10 crowd, but the groaner puns will play only to masochists. Meanwhile, the 3-D ticket upcharge here is a big ripoff - the extra dimension is unnecessary.

rotten:
The same lame puns wedged into a succession of situations, rather than a story.
