Critics Consensus

An animated feature that's more of the same, Son of Bigfoot lacks innovation but provides entertaining fodder for younger viewers.

More or less does what it sets out to do, which is to offer enough visual activity and bromides to keep the very young interested.

Doesn't feature quite the budget, visuals or imagination of its American blockbuster counterparts, but it will likely provide a fun 90-minute diversion for kids.

It's deeply derivative, but relatively inoffensive. Young kids will love it.

Suffers from indifferent animation and terrible music. But its characters and script are engaging enough to make the never-ending cinematic hunt for Sasquatch worthwhile.

So-so adventure finds the positive in "negative" traits.

It was an okay movie, but it’s weird how Adam somehow got the Bigfoot traits his dad got even though Adam was born before the accident and it’s never explained. Biggest mystery in the movie.

A film that suffers from a formulaic narrative and uncharismatic secondary characters. Despite competent visuals and a good initial pace, it lacks the charm and intelligence of big productions to captivate a general audience. Ultimately, it's just mediocre, forgettable entertainment, largely aimed at young children.
