James Luxford, The National

far too reminiscent of films that have gone before it and suffers from being overly didactic about its environmental themes. Full Review

Falls several sea miles of open water behind Pixar's Finding Nemo. Full Review

Here, director and co-writer Ben Stassen shows as much contempt for characterisation as he did with his previous feeble effort, the offensively banal insect adventure Fly Me to the Moon. Full Review

You can't fault the film's message - it just doesn't know where to take it other than just pointing it out. Full Review

Charlotte O'Sullivan, This is London

It seems guaranteed to infuriate anyone over seven. Full Review

David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]

Allan Hunter, Daily Express

A Belgian production that can boast some accomplished Finding Nemo-style underwater visuals. Full Review

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

Turtly disappointing, turtly sanctimonious in its eco message, and turtly derived from Finding Nemo. Full Review

Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

The kid-flick charm of early reels, narrated with a folksy rasp by John Hurt, gives way to a ponderous eco-fable. Full Review

Sue Robinson, Radio Times

If you're a 3D sceptic, this is a film you must see. The underwater world of little Sammy the turtle and his friends jumps out of the screen in a riot of colour and excitement. Full Review
