The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 2d
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

I’ll give it that I was dazzled when it brought me to this magical valley, but unfortunately, it did not bring me into a good movie. Go to Full Review

Children’s films can run the gamut from philosophical education to cheap babysitter. Swapped is more like giving a kid an iPad and then forgetting them in your car. Go to Full Review

Brittany L. @lovelybraylnn77 47m I thought it was cute!! I enjoyed it 🙂 See more Personal A @Itsms 2h To all the people who said this was childish and predictable, I think that’s a brutish assessment especially considering your not a kid, I watched this myself I’m 35 years old and I loved it, it’s exactly what’s needed the message it is sending is what’s needed and it’s a great film. The actors did an amazing job, Michael b could’ve been better some parts that he voiced for the character I did find funny, but he’s not an expert and I thought he did very well, finding the humor and understanding the message instead of trying to predict the next few moments takes the fun out of watching a movie or anything. I think it’s worthy of an award, capturing the attention of others without a characters theatrical singing it’s a win in my book. I loved this movie. Incredibly talented writers and producer. Don’t listen to the haters! See more Karla Q. @rosebiteful 2h This story is not slow and the visual effects are excellent. Enjoy that movie! See more Delle T. @thedelletorres 6h Swapped may not reinvent animated storytelling, but it delivers an entertaining and visually beautiful adventure with a genuinely kind message. It’s the kind of movie that may not become an instant classic, yet still leaves you smiling by the end. See more Carlos R @RT91985226 9h I loved it almost to tears!!!!!, beautiful ♡♡♡ See more Tania T @RT59379421 9h This movie is spectacular! I can watch it over and over again! I have nothing negative to say! A standing ovation to the amazing story telling, and visuals! See more Read all reviews
