Sketch Ratings & Reviews
- jthygesen4d agoThis was way better than I was expecting. Tony Hale was amazing and the kids did great carrying the majority of the film.
- Dan Holden7d agoSaw a YouTube short of the bus scene and my 8 year old son wanted to see the rest. Fantastically done. Kid friendly. Slightly scary but not too bad.
- Michael SurberOctober 24, 2025I freaking loved this one. Very different and everyone in it shines. Kids are smart and act accordingly instead of being lazy good for nothings. Lots of time with no adults on screen but it never mattered a bit. It's a real gem of a film. I'll watch it again.
- kjgthejesterOctober 5, 2025Instant Classic!

- Subash RamoneSeptember 26, 2025Under rated movie. Funny script accompanied with the kids good acting. An enjoyable family movie.
- Hipster ZOMBIEAugust 10, 2025Angel Studios has pulled off something truly magical with Sketch, a film that’s equal parts heart, humor, and hand-drawn wonder. In an era where most “family films” feel like they’re just throwing candy at kids and hoping for the best or trying to force them to face the harshness of reality too soon, Sketch dares to tell a fantastical story without talking down to its audience. The result? A movie that resonates with children and adults on entirely different, yet equally powerful, levels. At its core, Sketch is the perfect summer family film—bright, spirited, and endlessly imaginative—but it never shies away from deeper emotional tones. The story follows a young girl who discovers that the creatures she doodles in her worn, spiral-bound notebook can leap into reality. But instead of just being a colorful gimmick, the film uses this premise to explore creativity, courage, and the bittersweet stages of loss. The way it handles grief is remarkably sincere—neither sugarcoated nor crushing—offering moments that are genuinely touching without feeling manipulative. Parents may find themselves reaching for tissues while their kids sit wide-eyed in wonder. The monster designs are an absolute triumph. They look as if they’ve literally leapt off a child’s notebook page, with every uneven crayon stroke, scribbled outline, and slightly mismatched color choice preserved. The effect is delightfully raw—these aren’t slick, studio-polished beasts; they carry the charm and personality of their young creator’s imagination. And when these creatures move, there’s an otherworldly bounce to them, as though they’re still half-made of paper and ink. It’s a style choice that’s not only visually stunning but also thematically perfect. The cast, too, is effortlessly likeable. The young lead radiates sincerity, balancing the excitement of discovery with moments of vulnerability that hit hard. The adult supporting characters feel grounded, each bringing a sense of warmth and authenticity that keeps the fantastical story rooted in something real. By the time the credits roll, Sketch leaves you with the same feeling as flipping back through an old childhood notebook—you remember the joy, the colors, and the way even your wildest ideas felt possible. It’s a rare feat: a movie that’s both a dazzling spectacle and an emotional hug, proving once again that the best family films respect their audience, no matter their age. Angel Studios didn’t just make another kids’ movie—they made a modern classic. If I were to sum it up in one line: Sketch is the kind of film you’ll want to watch with your kids, your parents, and maybe even your childhood self.
- deadcow0September 7, 2025Loved this movie in the theater
- Mike MartinsSeptember 7, 2025Sketch was an absolute blast! The monsters were so creative and fun to watch, and the graphics were incredible—really top quality. My kids were glued to the screen the whole time and couldn’t stop talking about their favorite characters afterward. It had the perfect mix of excitement, humor, and heart that made it enjoyable for the whole family. If you’re looking for a movie that keeps the kids entertained while still being fun for adults, this is definitely the one. Highly recommend!
- OberleutnantDanSeptember 20, 2025Needlessly scary for a kids' movie. Especially one dealing with the emotions of parental loss. So much more was good and well intentioned, but the scary aspects make this a tough sell for many younger children at the PG level. Not to mention a few instances of unnecessary foul language. I wanted to like and recommend this movie, but it's a skip for me.
- DiscwogAugust 29, 2025Delightful. Just enough scare to brighten my day
- AaronSeptember 18, 2025Cute. Not what I was expecting but great surprise with monsters and the untraditional way of raising a child lol
- Christina SuffieldSeptember 14, 2025Such a fun movie!
- SteevasaurusSeptember 14, 2025Great film, absolutely perfect mix of suspense, fun and child friendly. Also deals with grief well.
