Spellbound Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A largely forgettable venture that families will watch during Thanksgiving break before the Netflix algorithm buries it forever.
Chicago Reader
Noah Berlatsky
Spellbound struggles to connect its somber emotional material with its whimsical and formulaic genre approach.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Trust that the eventual explanation is a smart one, with useful lessons to impart about how much kids can (or should even try to) control when faced with drastic family changes.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
Cute, creative setpieces do wonders to keep the story moving along, as do the wealth of new songs that firmly establish this as a musical with a capital M.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
It is without any wonder or whimsy, the animation all looking rather flat to the eye rather than bursting with depth that takes the breath away.
Casey's Movie Mania
Casey Chong
If only this animated musical could break the spell of mediocrity.
Culturess
Lisa Laman
Spellbound, will merely inspire yawns and children to quickly ask if they can rewatch The Mitchells vs the Machines or The Wild Robot instead.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
Spellbound largely conforms to the typical beats of a road narrative, albeit sprinkled with some surprising moments. Most striking are the visuals, rendered with vivacity and poignancy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This animated adventure is a breezy but largely derivative coming-of-age saga, with spirited songs enhancing an empowerment story that comes off as thinly sketched and simplistic.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Zegler puts her amazing vocal range to great use in a playbook of quality songs from Alan Menken and Glenn Slater.
Mashable
Belen Edwards
So while Spellbound's exterior may not always break the mold, its heart is more than happy to break new ground, gifting us a truly special ending.
The Spool
Tim Stevens
Sometimes, you end up respecting what a movie's trying to discuss more than you enjoy the film itself. Case in point, Spellbound.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
An often lovely animated tale with some wonderful, fun songs that deals with issues normally reserved for some of the best of our live-action family tales like E.T. and Where The Wild Things Are.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It fails to get the magic needed to be convincing.
Rachel's Reviews (YouTube)
Rachel Wagner
In an ambitious and exciting age of animation this isn't good enough. Totally generic
AniMat's Review (YouTube)
Mat Brunet
Even Wish is more competently made and more worthwhile to watch than this.
FandomWire
Matt Hambidge
Spellbound is not quite as insightful or emotionally resonant as the top-tier animated children's films. But it's a cute, fun adventure that younger audiences will still have a blast with.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
So, too, may viewers of "Spellbound" occasionally sense the enchantment zones of their brains lighting up, more as a reflexive response to dim memories of past animated features than as a genuine reaction to the derivative pastiche onscreen.
Decider
John Serba
Spellbound is more enchantment than curse.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Charles Solomon
Skydance is a puzzlement. They have more money than Daddy Warbucks and a lot of talented people working there. And yet their first film, Luck, was terrible and this one is not a lot better.
