If only there were something on screen to keep your adult brain from dissolving into strained peas.

A prime contender for most peculiar wide release of the year.

There are no villains in this movie but there's lots of suspense and problem solving involved in retrieving the balloons.
Abby West, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
It's like paying to watch a dumbed-down mash-up of the least creative parts of "Teletubbies," "Barney & Friends," and "Pee-wee's Playhouse."
Loren King, Boston Globe
