The story and characterizations never get much deeper than "We're all special in our own way." At times, the five writers borrow a little too heavily from other properties.

A weak Toy Story-esque animated film for preschool kids made with little imagination, little art, and even less soul.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer
Fresh
It's a fun, fantastical tale for the toddler set but may not translate to older children who are too tied up with heady video games. For adults, it may take you back to a time when crayons were king.
Maricar Estrella, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Rotten
This is a pretty lame computer-generated animated movie that will likely not engage kids much past the first grade.
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
Cheerfully exhorting imagination, creativity and bravery in children while demonstrating none of those virtues itself, "The Hero of Color City" proves to be a dispiritingly colorless feature-length babysitter.
