2.5/4
The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) May 6
It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush. Go to Full Review

2/5
Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative. Go to Full Review

4/5
A simple adventure, this animal buddy movie follows the genre's tropes perfectly without straying too far, but precisely because of its simplicity, it works where it needs to. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Swapped clearly wants to reach the heights of Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks' best without actually understanding what made those films truly connect with people. Go to Full Review

av 8 @anagha.vinay 1h Swapped is fun-filled and heartwarming story packed with a lot of creativity. The rat Ollie and the villainous Ivy stuck in the bodies of each other's specimen presents a chaotic and entertaining watch. The Pookoos, Javans, Boogels, and the others of the valley are quite a sight to behold. With these kind of movies and such lovable characters, the audience is almost not going to like it unless it follows the predictable ending. Everything that unfolds in the movie is scenic and fantastical. All the creatures are lovable and adorable. Their powers are exhilarating to witness. The voice acting was commendable. At the end of the day, this made me laugh and smile—it was enchanting. See more Sophie L @RT55605100 3h This was an absolute cute movie to watch! Adorable characters and lovely scene.

Very cute and engaging! I loved the animation and the storyline! See more Ema H @RT84533917 1d The start of the movie is SLOW and feels unoriginal and gives me vibe of avatar type stuff with the fire lol but,.. as the story progress, the creatures, the world building, the unexpected plot at the end.
