The plot itself isn’t extraordinary but the critters populating this forest wonderland are. Go to Full Review
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) May 6
It’s all rather predictable, but the world-building is distinctive and the animation is pleasingly lush. Go to Full Review

2/5
Unlike the greatest Pixar films that the director, Nathan Greno, and his three writers are trying to emulate, any sharper messaging gets quickly cast aside for a fairly rote buddy comedy quest narrative. Go to Full Review

Swapped clearly wants to reach the heights of Pixar, Disney, or DreamWorks' best without actually understanding what made those films truly connect with people. Go to Full Review

...an erratic yet rewarding animated piece of work. Go to Full Review

I’ll give it that I was dazzled when it brought me to this magical valley, but unfortunately, it did not bring me into a good movie. Go to Full Review

Kir 1002 V @RT69492554 4h The movie is excellent. 10 out of 10. I recomend to watch this movie. Literally felt emotional too when watching that film. See more Leena E @Leena_el 13h I loved it, it had meaning, it was not only adorable but meaningful and so beautifully written 💚 See more Michael H @RT31229006 14h The movie itself has the feel-good energy and art direction at maximum with much of it being placed to save parts with toilet humor and slapstick. Still it has charm in character development and casting, but with all the concepts and lore it crams in almost two hours, it has too much to focus on for a movie. Would have been better as a mini series to be quite honest. See more Rocco S @Rocstar 15h Swapped was a tiny bit average but don’t get me wrong the animation is great but every characters were mediocre and Ollie and ivy together are pretty okay and the villain deer is kinda mid but nothing else to say it’s just kinda a okay movie 6.5/10 See more Marc-Antoine D @RT35423823 16h Do not listen to the official critics. This movie is good after so many flops from Disney and Pixar. I thought the plot was well done. I definitely recommend it for the whole family See more Monica W @RT72879225 20h The movie was just awesome. It got me intrigued throughout the movie talk about creativity, imagination, unity that was just top notch and the way it gave real life teachings is just on another level. Definitely will rewatch it countless times. See more Read all reviews
