...the emotional impact is true and clean. The fractious bond between the brothers and their aching anger at the loss of a parent are evoked with exquisite sorrow and clarity.

...one of Pixar’s funniest pictures, having, in its own way, as much of a riot with the fantasy adventure genre as the Pythons did with Holy Grail.

Surprisingly good film, not predictable and keeps the attention. Film about brotherhood and magic that the world thinks is a fairytale.

Holland and Pratt do a winning job as brothers who are opposites but still close.
