Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A]n animated battlefield adventure about the true-life World War I exploits of a celebrated stray Boston terrier." - 04/13/2018 RogerEbert.com
"This is a unique story, and the archival photographs of Stubby in his medal-bedecked uniform are a delight." - 04/12/2018 Los Angeles Times
"[T]he film is sufficiently intelligent and entertaining to engage most grown-ups and, no kidding, fascinate history buffs." - 04/12/2018 Variety
"[T]he well-assembled period piece could still appeal to children old enough to grasp its themes, while serving as a valuable educational tool to teach them about a war that ended nearly a century ago." - 04/11/2018 Hollywood Reporter
"[The director] manages a fair amount of wit, particularly with a postcard montage of Stubby’s first trip to Paris. This may be the first cartoon in history designed for this particular overlap of audiences: military buffs and the very, very young." - 04/12/2018 New York Times
