Phantom Boy's stunning animation and old-fashioned charm more than make up for a relative lack of narrative depth.

It has an interesting premise and seems to be about the dark subject of death and childhood, but then backs out nervously towards cops'n'robbers banality. Oct 21, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's an entertaining romp, which for me had weird, engaging echoes with Richard Linklater's Waking Life. Oct 20, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Frequently beautiful to look at, but the cops-and-robbers angle feels tired. Oct 18, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The story gets a tad too busy at times, but visually Phantom Boy is delightful, cloaked in the same imagination as director Jean-Loup Felicioli's and Alain Gagnol's previous Oscar-nominated animation, A Cat in Paris. Jul 28, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Phantom Boy is a visual delight but also a throwback to a simple superhero story before cinematic universes changed everything. Feb 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Leo's unnerving ability to dance between reality and waking life gives the film a metaphysical tone, yet it's riddled with comedic bits that lighten the mood. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

Their quarry is a villain known only as the Man with the Broken Face, a handle that makes sense once you soak in the Picasso-like renderings of these characters, who exist in a different, hand-drawn realm to Pixar's digital might. Dec 31, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Despite all its whimsy, Phantom Boy manages to cater entirely to children without feeling patronizing. What kid doesn't love the idea of a child hero? Aug 7, 2017 | Full Review…

Phantom Boy is simply drawn -- no computer images here-and frequently funny, whether it's the bumbling cohorts of the villain or a couple of scenes that parody The Sopranos. Jan 2, 2017 | Full Review…
