Reviews for Doug's 1st Movie
Some things are better left to television.
01/01/00
A new nadir in animated entertainment.
01/01/00
Top CriticNothing here worth paying to see.
01/01/00
I fell sound asleep during the proceedings, only to be awakened by the usher for having my feet draped over the seat in front of me.
01/01/00
A daydreamer who just wants to do the right thing, Doug is a great role model for kids.
01/01/00
Pleasant but hopelessly vanilla.
01/01/00
Rugrats it ain't.
01/01/00
Top CriticThere's enough quirky charm, light-hearted humor and fresh ideas to appeal to both younger children, eager to grow up, and to older viewers looking back on the dawn of their own awkward adolescence.
01/01/00
Not inspired children's entertainment, but it has a certain charm.
01/01/00
Top CriticWait for the video.
01/01/00
These spin-offs remain animation on the cheap, and none yet -- straitjacketed by fidelity to its respective series -- has attained the density of image and kineticism of design of the art form's true originals.
06/24/06
Little more than a typical TV segment writ large for the mutiplexes.
05/20/08
Top CriticIt's refreshingly non-violent, unflashy, not smart alecky and mercifully free of insipid songs.
05/20/08
If you like Doug in 15-minute segments, you’ll probably like him all right for 77 minutes.
02/08/03
No harm done, really, but nothing of lasting value either.
10/15/02
The film hasn't much entertainment value for those much over the age of 10. There's not a thing in the world wrong with that.
07/21/05
Top CriticMy advice is to see this film only in case of extenuating circumstances.
01/01/00
I was in constant enjoyment as I watched it.
01/01/00
Though Ken Scarborough's script is hardly heavy on adult references, it does feel slightly smarter than most cartoon scripts.
