The Hero of Color City Ratings & Reviews
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
The visuals, the story and the characters keep moving and never stagnate. There is always an eye-popping visual, color blend, adventure or music to keep the attention of a fidgety kid... The Hero of Color City will be a hero to the younger set.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
... might at best provide desperate parents with an electronic babysitter.

Dustin Putman
"The Hero of Color City" was made for five-year-olds and is unashamedly derivative of "Toy Story."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Bland, though well-meaning, animated fable.
Common Sense Media
Yvonne Condes
Gentle adventure is sweet, colorful, but not very original.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Solomon
The story and characterizations never get much deeper than "We're all special in our own way." At times, the five writers borrow a little too heavily from other properties.

Sheila O'Malley
Even if you allow for the the fact that the film is geared towards the 5-year-old set, it's still a pretty dreary experience, made even more so by screamingly vivid colors, uninspiring animation and grating songs.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A weak Toy Story-esque animated film for preschool kids made with little imagination, little art, and even less soul.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Maricar Estrella
It's a fun, fantastical tale for the toddler set but may not translate to older children who are too tied up with heady video games. For adults, it may take you back to a time when crayons were king.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Zwecker
This is a pretty lame computer-generated animated movie that will likely not engage kids much past the first grade.
Variety
Geoff Berkshire
Cheerfully exhorting imagination, creativity and bravery in children while demonstrating none of those virtues itself, "The Hero of Color City" proves to be a dispiritingly colorless feature-length babysitter.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"The Hero of Color City" cannily distills the children's movie to its lowest common denominator: bright colors flashing on screen.
Metro
Matt Prigge
There's also a character who's a borderline libelous ripoff of 'The Simpsons'' Jerry Lewis-y Professor Frink.
Dallas Morning News
Nancy Churnin
The problem, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson, is that most of what's good is not original, and most of what's original is not good.
Film Journal International
Simi Horwitz
Delightful, fast-moving animated feature that boasts entertaining characters, lovely visuals and fun tunes.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
The songs, like the script and the animation, are unmemorable.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
For parents of very young children looking for a weekend distraction, "Color City" is passable fare - and will at least inspire kiddies to finish what they start, coloring-wise.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
No cartoon has ever conveyed the struggle for self-actualization with such an inexpressive sense of imagination as this cheap and glorified babysitter.
Village Voice
Sherilyn Connelly
A perfectly pleasant pastiche of other movies, the most obvious antecedent being the Toy Story films.
