Critical reception
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 78% based on 9 critical reviews. The Hollywood Reporter Jordan Mintzer wrote that with its "broadly sketched characters and a narrative that feels closer to an afterschool special", the film "offers the kind of unsophisticated children's entertainment you don’t necessarily see being made anymore". The Age Jake Wilson thought the film was simplistic and unoriginal, but "retains a good deal of charm".
