Free Birds Ratings & Reviews

November 30, 2024
bad, boring, animation was meh.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Everything about "Free Birds" feels perfunctory, from its generic title and holiday setting to its starry voice cast and undistinguished use of 3-D.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
A stale turkey hash that heaves a lot of ingredients in the oven but never turns on the gas, a frantic attempt to come up with an animated film built around Thanksgiving Day traditions.
Chicago Tribune
Bill Zwecker
Free Birds is not (sorry) a turkey of a film. But it doesn't really soar terribly high either.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
All sidekicks and sight gags, with little story cohesion or purpose.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
A forgettable - and occasionally borderline offensive - animated tale of turkeys trying to take back Thanksgiving.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It isn't cute. It isn't really funny. It just kind of is.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
Finally, there's a movie vegetarian parents can enjoy with their impressionable offspring.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
Bad history is a meaningless criticism to lob at an animated film, but the film really has no other outstanding attributes. This one is just for the kids.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
I think this may be the worst idea for a movie intended for children I have heard since the one about the kid bank robber.
New York Times
Miriam Bale
The concept is inane, and the execution is manic and unoriginal.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Like the ungainly avian creatures at the center of the herky-jerky adventure, this 'toon seldom gets off the ground.
AV Club
Kevin McFarland
A film that was probably close to completion before anyone involved realized they were portraying a fight between turkeys and English settlers as the largest conflict in the European colonization of North America.
Associated Press
Jessica Herndon
A solid premiere effort that shows Reel FX's potential to produce quality full-length animation. But the story-line, with its hypothetical constituents, seems a little desperate at times, even for a kiddie film.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
This cheerfully gonzo kid flick. It's no masterpiece, but if you're hoping for a family film that will keep everyone reasonably entertained, this will fly.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Likable and amusing, if slight.
Entertainment Weekly
Stephan Lee
Often, you can point to a middling animated film's visuals as its saving grace. But this colonial world, which should feel like an expansive autumnal panorama, feels oddly inert and two-dimensional.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
The film puts a premium on loud, effects-driven action that mistakes nonstop intensity for cartoony entertainment. Without the anthropomorphic turkeys, there's no substantial tonal difference between Free Birds and another G.I. Joe sequel.
Slant Magazine
Chris Cabin
The film is absent of humor and thrills, and accented with designs and color schemes that are equally notable for their lack of risk.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
A welcome foray into underexploited territory, conceptually at least.
